Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh edit war
[edit]Okay, this is an edit war between User:NguyenHue and User:Jimmyvanthach [1].
[User:Jimmyvanthach]] is up before the arbcom for POV pushing and lying and it looks like he's going to be banned from editing Vietnam-related articles. It seems that Jimmyvanthach is some Vietnamese-american who claims (or supports someone else's claim) to the throne of the Empire of Vietnam (which no longer exists since the Americans lost the Vietnam War), whilst not being the true descendent of the last emperor but claims it by some genealogical fiddle much like Michel Lafosse. It seems most of these claims have been confined to the Internet. The parallel problem being that there appears to be a group of people that do claim the throne and do genealogically have claim to it. It is all very confusing.
I have no idea who User:NguyenHue is (though given the edit wars he's unlikely to be a Jimmysockpuppet) though he might have picked up something off discussion of this on usenet.
I'm thinking this Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh is some kind of vanity page by Jimmyvanthach and it may be best to wait until the arbcom finalises its decision and then just delete it. At some point I'm going to have to go and do a proper report on Jimmyvanthach's edits to work out which ones are bad, the arbcom do a difficult well job but they don't do it quickly! I think the page does need protecting for the while, but I'd prefer User:NguyenHue's version which seems correct (to my limited knowledge). Dunc|☺ 17:07, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I think User:NguyenHue has got wound up by Jimmyvanthach's behaviour which is ridiculous, the guy might be marginally notable, I'll talk to User:NguyenHue; you might be able to talk to Jimmy though he just posts essays at me insisting that he is right and claims he will behave without citing his sources or behaving properly. Dunc|☺ 20:11, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Well anyway, what I think we need to do is once the has arbcom has passed judgement, we need to create a report. The articles about the last Emperor and his son the Crown Prince seem to be legitimate. I think we need to delete the monarchist advocacy pages; I think it's all too current given the cultural and linguistic divide. If as Jimmy thinks, the Crown Prince will return in glory, we'll document it until then we'll let it pass. Images need to be deleted as likely copyvios. I was maybe thinking of running them through vfd as a courtesy. Other edits seem to be mostly on South Vietnamese war generals, but we're going to have to trawl unless there is a bot that'll record all pages he's edited. Anyway, I think we should ask Nguegen Hue to verify these. I'm not an admin, btw but I've just nominated myself and I'm fairly hopeful. Dunc|☺ 21:21, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Admin votes
[edit]From time-to-time I type in "RfA" (case sensitive and technically against the guidelines for redirects). That redirects to the requests for adminship page. I usually check up on that every 3-4 days or so. Nominations stay up for one week each. Cool Hand Luke 23:20, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Spam
[edit]Please remove your advertising spam Re:Duncharris RfA, article talk is a completely innapropriate place for that. [[User:Sam Spade|Thomas Jefferson for President]] 23:37, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Thats a good and thoughtful question, I'm not sure. User:talk is better, but is usually seen to be in bad taste (esp. impersonal copy paste type spam). You can ask on Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship, but I think the concensus is that the people who want to vote keep an eye on RfA as it is. [[User:Sam Spade|Thomas Jefferson for President]] 23:44, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Village Pump would be Aok, I can vouch for that. [[User:Sam Spade|Thomas Jefferson for President]] 23:48, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Hey, sorry I wasn't terribly polite about the spam thing. I need to do a better job of assuming good faith on here! I don't know the guy well enough to vote one way or the other, but I'll withdraw my neutral vote, since you removed the spams. It seems pretty clear to me that you ment well, and thats pretty important in my book. Cheers, [[User:Sam Spade|Thomas Jefferson for President]] 00:42, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Tom, I wanted your support to vote to KEEP Phan Lien from deletion, would you take a looka at the biography and come also vote what you think. Thanks--Jimmyvanthach 22:34, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Request for your help
[edit]If you have not met Ungtss yet, let me introduce you to a good man. :) Ungtss and I have run into a situation on the Creation according to Genesis page. I would like to continue to develop that page without engaging the edit war that has been explicitly declared at the top of the Creation according to Genesis page. Thus, I have proposed at this link a means of continuing work without engaging the declared edit war. All we need from you is the following.
- Enforce that only those expressly authorized by either Ungtss or me can edit the /tempMinorityOpinionPage.
That you are in the loop allows you to monitor the process to ensure that the decisions of Ungtss and me are fair as to who gets to edit that /tempMinorityOpinionPage. We would like to prepare the /tempMinorityOpinionPage so that the entire Wikipedia community can vote on the content of the baseline Creation according to Genesis page without ever an edit war erupting in the process of constructing the two comparison pages for the Wikipedia community to Support with their vote. :)) ---Rednblu | Talk 18:54, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Political views
[edit]I appreciate your views. I hear what you are saying about partisanship, especially when, unless you live in a swing state, your individual vote for President doesn't really matter. If parties didn't matter, or if everyone could vote for a minor party tailored to their interests without risk of wasting their vote, people might have to consider real issues rather than just slogans, and I think most people would discover they are centrists. (On a different topic, thanks for nominating me for admin. It seems to have worked.) COGDEN 00:32, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)

[edit]What, in your opinion, should happen now with Jimmy's monarchist pages? should they be deleted? are they worth vfding? Yours, Dunc|☺ 20:39, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I don't know what to say, Dunc. I want to be generous. And space is unlimited. But we have to guard our credibility. Do you have information that indicates this Consitutional Monarchy Party is insignificant? As comparison, I wouldn't expect to see an article here on partisan Republican Party leaders. I still don't know where I stand. Tom - Talk 07:34, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)

Are you still at it again, I thought that you gave me a apology concerning your attitude and curse words on here, because I have contributed to Asian monarchs.
Listen, what is the bottom line, of this issue, what would you like me to do ?
I am not able to contribute to Vietnamese Monarchy ok fine.
But now I will contribute to Laos Monarchs are you going to follow me there too?
When does this stop and try to treat me fairly and honest, I have contributed on a subject that no one had knowlege of before, and now all of a sudden everyone what their two cents in.
That is good !!! I want people to converse and get into the history of these people to learn and read about it, but also it should not be biased.
I understand that prior the articles that I presented were NOT NEUTRAL !
I agree, and I am aware of the rules, and I understand that there is a difference between,
Factual, POV and just a biography.
Agreed and I learn my lesson, but I do not think about erasing all the articles that I took time to research is the answer, they are good in general to enlighten people about royalty that did not know exist, and if someone just picked up a book to reference they can also verify it too.
I dont want any problems I just want to contribute some where else to enlarge other articles thoughtout here on wikipedia of my knowledge from books.
thank you for taking the time to read this and understand what my agenda here on wikipedia.--Jimmyvanthach 22:27, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints edits
[edit]As you might have noticed, the church page got trashed. It looks like somebody started to make some edits (most of them good - although I don't know where they got half of the people following Brigham Young), but then the last part of the page got deleted. It ends in mid-sentence.
I know the theory behind reverting, but would feel better if somebody more experienced did it. wrp103 (Bill Pringle) - Talk 13:43, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I reverted the page one step, as I agree that the edits were going in the right direction - however, it needs to be re-looked at in fine detail and corrected - something I don't have time to do today. Can one of you take? -Visorstuff 18:28, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
--
in Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I removed the second half of the comment about the Nicaea council for mainly stylistic reasons: the historical context of the Council is hardly relevent to the point of the article, and mentioning it takes away from the flow of the paragraph.
Furthermore, only mentioning that it was put together in response to the Arianist heresy seems to indicate that it is a circumstancial event when it is one of the cornerstones of Catholic doctrine.
I just wanted to determine if you agree with Nauvoo's revision. He apparently put it up because discussion had died down. I think it's OK although the last sentence of the second paragraph seems a bit weasely. Just want to know if this is still a live issue. Cool Hand Luke 19:08, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

FRUAD BY NGUYENHUE aka JOSEPH CRISP STOLEN MATERIAL FROM NGUYEN DYNASTY OF VIETNAM----------------------------------------
EVIDENCE BELOW
[edit]1. NguyenHue is a expelled member from the Nguyen Dynasty staff *About the Author Joseph Crisp aka NguyenHue
2. He was told by the Nguyen Dynasty to shut down his website and return all work that belonged to the Nguyen Dynasty.
3. The Copyright holder for the Cuong De biography is the Nguyen Dynasty noted here The Revolutionary Prince Cuong-De
4. This is true because NguyenHue points out above that the biography belongs to his Geocites site The Revolutionary Prince Cuong-De
5. He was instructed by the Nguyen Dynasty to again close his website but simply chose to delete photos of Prince Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh and all information related to Nguyen Dynasty because he was EXPELLED and kept WITHOUT PERSMISSION all biographies and research that was submitted by Nguyen Dynasty Scholars.
8. Nguyen Thi Linh (my own 'Momma Linh') sit back and watch the chaos of present opening unfold NOTE: Joseph Crisp sitting next to Nguyen Thi Linh she is also listed as a supporter on his other website that is a TEXAS based website where Joseph Crisp goes to university and lives. *About the Author Joseph Crisp

VCML
[edit]I am not a member of th VCML, I do however am aware of their motives in the political field in vietnam, nor have I edited any VCML acticles since ARBCOM made their decision. Also I only exposed that NGUYENHUE is Joseph Crisp an expelled member of the Nguyen Dynasty and he should be banned from editing Wikipedia articles pertaining to vietnamese royalty.
I also recommend that Duncharris be suspended from admin procedures due to his language against me on discussion pages and the negative language nguyenhue josephs crip has made against me--Jimmyvanthach 20:43, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Jimmy, you yourself wrote ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Jimmyvanthach#Statement_by_affected_party ) that you worked with Tran Van Ba, listed on the VCML website as "Chancellor" of the organization. The same website, in a link you posted yourself, listed "J.D. Van Thach" as a web-designer for the VCML. You yourself have proven that your claims to be unattached to this group are completely false. On the contrary, all of your accusations against me, and Mr Crisp and his family that you're so obsessed with, are based on nothing but the crazy notion that anyone from Texas is involved in some conspiracy against you. Further, the comments for which you accuse me of attacking you were directed at User:Bnguyen so you have just yourself admitted that this was a sockpuppet, and so everyone can see that you violated the arbcom's ban against you by continuing to edit royalty and VCML articles under the name of Bnguyen. I for one will never believe a single word out of you in the future, but if you want anyone else to ever take you seriously, you would be well advised to come clean. NguyenHue 19:39, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)NguyenHue
I have a history degree, and contacted the Nguyen Dynasty for research that I was conducting about the Royal Family of Vietnam. Chancellor Tran Van Ba replied to me, and asked me to research some Nguyen Dynasty Historical paperwork sent me in an email. I was very grateful that I was given the chance to view Nguyen Dynasty documents, that I then translated in English and sent it back to him, for his website, and I also used it for my History chapter of the Royal Family of Vietnam, particular the Nguyen Dynasty.
Van Thach is not be, and I stated it is not me, not ever Nguyen, Pham, Le, Quach, Tran, Duong, Phan, Ngo or Thach with the same last name are not related.
I have no accusations against Joseph Crisp, Nguyen Thi Linh, Nguyen Trung De, or their associates in Texas. I read their websites and then informed and questions Chancellor Tran Van Ba, of the accusations they have made against the Nguyen Dynasty and Prince Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh. I have come to the conclusion that I believe Chancellor Tran Van Ba, because of his long service to Emperor Bao Dai, and the Nguyen Dynasty, he told me that you were expelled from the Nguyen Dynasty.
Also that there was removal of Nguyen Dynasty material that was taken without authorization, from their library. From my own conclusion, I felt it was important to bring this to light to the wikipedia community. I have never used any vulgar language, negative comments against you, or your group. On the other hand, you have used negative terms, "Rev. Moon", "absurb", "fringe group", to name a few, which is totally not acceptable. I have not violated the ARBCOM ruling and I have contacted not only BNguyen of your bias but other members on wikipedia.
I am not a member but just conducting research on the Nguyen Dynasty does not mean I am member but I do have alot of respect and reverance for the Imperial Family of Vietnam that has been working for the goodness of the people.
As well, as I am a republican and feel that President Bush in his determination to lead this country in this time of war.--Jimmyvanthach 02:18, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Avoirdupois in the U.S.
[edit]Yes, based on that page you linked to I'd say that an American in the 1800s would have used Avoirdupois for everything except precious metals, which would have been measured in Troy weight. I don't think that apothecary weight would have still been used then; if it was, it would have only been for pharmaceuticals. -- [[User:Djinn112|Djinn112 ♠♥♣♦,]] 01:37, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for your note the other day. I've been preoccupied lately with someone who seems to be on a POV campaign to refactor and rewrite a number of the Jesus related articles; basically thinks he didn't ever actually exist, and was just an invention of some gnostics who later got reinterpreted, syncretised with some mystery religions, etc. Never directly worked with an editor who was so hard to work with before.

Article Licensing
[edit]Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Add either {{vprotected}} if it's a legitimate page being vandalised or {{protected}} to the top of the article in question and put an explanation on the talk page. See Wikipedia:Protection policy, WP:RFPP (and the links on the bottom of that last page - don't forget to add to the list of protected pages). If you still don't know, explain to me in detail why you protected and I'll add the appropriate stuff. Good luck! [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 18:57, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

[edit]Can you look at the recent edits by User:66.188.201.238 at Endowment (Mormonism) and Temple garment (Mormonism) to see if they are POV, or are worth keeping - I'm running off for the rest of the day, but seems to me that they are trying to remove relevant information - although I'd much rather have the content gone as well, I think in the interest of NPOV it needs to stay. Let me know what you think. There has been a rash of similar edits recently. Perhaps we need to decide what needs to stay and be removed in these articles on the Project page? Thoughts? -Visorstuff 22:28, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit]-Well, living in California, now since returning from University Law School, and now back in California which has the largest Vietnamese Community in the United States.
-The most Prominent is the Government of Free Vietnam, their membership is very large by what I have seen on Vietnamese Network Television in our community in Little Saigon, here in Westminster, California.
-Their members are Former South Vietnamese Government Officials, High Ranking Military Officials of the South Vietnamese Government, and young Vietnamese Americans, over the age of 21 years old age.
-I was present at one of their Town Hall meetings to hear speeches concerning Freedom for Vietnam, which sanctioned by our Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez who spoke about Human Rights for Vietnam.
-Their founder Prime Minister Nguyen Huu Chanh has an international interpol warrant out for his arrest for being the mastermind of the bombings and attempted of Vietnamese Embassies in Southeast Asia, in and also attempting bombings in Vietnam, where 37 membersof the Government of Free Vietnam were arrested and were convicted.
-He was convicted in absentia by the Vietnamese Government in Hanoi.
-Nguyen Huu Chanh has also been accused of mis-management of selling of bonds and stocks using unfair selling practices, in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
-On the issue of the Vietnamese Constitutional Monarchist League, I have not heard anything about them Prior to November from young Vietnamese Americans, but I have heard about them from older Vietnamese with the mention of Emperor Bao Dai and there are members of the Vietnamese Royal Family that do live in California in our community.
-I first became aware of Prince Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh when he was present at the 2004 Tet (Vietnamese: New Year) parade in Westminster California.
-The Vietnamese Royal Family were guests at the parade and also had a Royal Nguyen Dynasty Float that was awarded best design by Mayor Rice of Westminster.
-I have not heard anything negative about the Vietnamese Constitutional Monarchist League, but I have also read about them over the Internet, and from the photographs I have seen their is not any Young Vietnamese Americans that are involved. It is mostly from what I see in the pictures of their supports are former citizens of the Republic of South Vietnam and members of the Royal Family that are located in the United States.
-On the contrary, the Government of Free Vietnam has a radio station programs, and a youth movement, their oranization is much stronger and has been receving alot of support.
-I am not a member of any of these oraganzation but I do respect their strive to bring freedom to our people in Vietnam, but I will say in only peaceful measure, I support their devotion in the struggle.
-I am aware that Prince Buu Chanh has been visiting various Universities in the United States because he actually went to Cornell Univerity. I attended Cornell Law School and have graduated and was present for a meeting when Prince Nguyen Phuc Buu Chanh visited Cornell University on the aspect of History and I enjoyed it very much of the vast information that I was not aware about the Nguyen Dynasty.
-*Exiled Prince of Vietnam Offers Political Ideology
-I remember from my youth living in South Vietnam, and the attacks we were under by the North Vietnamese and their Viet Cong agents, I do not want to see those same attacks on them or innocent civilians as I was back in Vietnam.
-I feel that through diplomacy the same can be achieved by the pen and the paper and political friends and the incentive of trade rather then military tactics.Bnguyen 06:25, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
