Query and suggestion

Hi Sturmgewehr88. It's nice to find another WWII buff. (My stepfather was a gunner in B25s and B26s.) As you know there has been some brouhaha over your username. I'm curious as to how you got the idea that the Panzer variant of the legendary 88 was called the Sturmgewehr 88. The actual name for the gun is the Kampfwagenkanone 88. Do you think you might be willing to change your name to KwK88? Seems like a win-win: you get the correct name for the gun, and it's not a name that would give people the wrong ideas. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 01:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

@Short Brigade Harvester Boris: See the discussion, as you're somewhat mistaken. I took the generic word "assault rifle" and combined it with 88, and Sturmgewehr is abbreviated as StG, so that's how I condense my username. Besides, it's the 88 that people are so concerned about, so replacing "assault rifle" with "tank cannon" doesn't exactly make everyone happy. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 03:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi StG88. You made an edit on Jihadi John and, to me, your name really stood out. In my case, the mismatched combination of a German assault rifle, with a purported connection to Hitler, and numbers that are used to represent Heil Hitler, which now I understand is unintentional in your case, immediately led me to make assumptions about you. I know, that's not your problem, but ultimately it's you that is affected. If I'd seen Kampfwagenkanone88/KwK88, or some historic variant of the 88 AA/tank gun, or SturmgewehrXX/StGXX, where XX is any other number (other than 18! :) ), then I wouldn't have thought twice about it.
I don't know what the naming format over on the German WP is. I imagine that they're pretty touchy about potential Nazi references, as you've seen, but I'd be surprised if they banned names that represent a real thing with 88 or 18 in them, for example ArmaLite AR-18.

Mitsudomoe

Konnichiwa (Hello)! "Mitsudomoe" isn't used for only Ryukyuan. For example, Kobayakawa Clan also uses this crest. The source was "Bungo Takada Shi Shi" (written by Bungotakada city.

Taking part in a discussion that may have started with an IBAN violation?

Hi Sturmgewehr.

I woke up this morning (Showa Day, but I was working until 11 p.m. last night so I slept in) and looked at the page history on Talk:Kenji Miyazawa and, seeing Catflap's name, checked what he posted and went to AN to ask that the section be closed and him warned (but not blocked).

I go back to the talk page and find that not only his close friend and ally, and possible IBAN-violation proxy, but you as well had already posted in the section. I'll withdraw my request for the discussion to be closed if you think it should stay open, and replace it with a specific request that Catflap's be stricken or collapsed. Otherwise, I'll leave as is.

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 02:31, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

@Hijiri88: at this point I don't think it matters either way. That conversation was stopped dead by John Carter (calling it "independent" of the RfC and using it to end the RfC). Had John Carter not done this, I think I might have had a shot at a resonable discussion with Catflap about the state of the lede. But oh well. And I think you may have jumped the gun a little, as he was (from my perspective) just responding to the RfC and not attempting to interact with you. Sure, commenting on that page at all is getting close to the line, but he hasn't crossed it yet. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 03:17, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
Hmm...... does he normally monitor RFCs and post in them on occasion? He didn't respond to any other RFCs at the same time. It seems much more likely that he has kept watching either that page in particular, or my edits in general. (Or that he has been engaging the discussion from the start, but I doubt that theory will gain much traction with the wider community...) Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 03:57, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Kenji draft

Hey Sturmgewehr88, sorry to bother you with this again, but recent developments have made me worried that if I go to all the trouble of completely rewriting the article and radically increasing its coverage of the stuff Icuc2 said I should, when I try to overlay the draft on the article I will immediately be reverted and forced to discuss each individual point for weeks on end as I have up to this point on the relatively tiny matter of whether "Kokuchukai" and "nationalism" should be mentioned in the lead.

Do you also think I should just give up and make "piecemeal" edits? I took your editing my redraft as a blessing on the project, especially in the light of your previous talk page posts, but was I wrong to read it this way? I have reverted my own removal of the Kokuchukai name-drop in the lead of my redraft in the hopes that there are no other problems. Pending discussion of course: your own comments on this issue were unclear so I don't think there is any "consensus" on whether Kokuchukai should be name-checked in the lead one way or the other.

But...

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:07, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Also, on the subject of your previous RFC, I notice that you noticed that one of the two users on the "nationalism should be in the lead" turned around to our side on that issue, thus essentially ending the discussion and making your original RFC question completely void. When I suggested a new RFC or collapsing the previous discussion and changing the RFC question, I was overruled.[1][2][3][4] But now the same user is saying that the nationalism RFC produced a definite consensus on whether or not the Kokuchukai should be mentioned in the lead, which seems really weird to me.

Any thoughts?

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:33, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

@Hijiri88: It's not a bother at all! I think the draft is going great (would be better if other editors pitched in though). If other editors add to the draft and the article gets reverted after the overlay, then whoever reverted it is going against consensus.
As for the RfC, I think it should be closed since it is no longer an issue (I just love how John Carter made such a big deal over it and then turned around and agreed). Everyone finally agreed that nationalism shouldn't be mentioned in the lede, but everyone but you has also agreed (or not opposed) that the Kokuchūkai should be mentioned. Anyway, I'll get more involved with the redraft and we should continue to encourage the others, especially Icuc2, to contribute as well. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 18:42, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
Well, you have to admit that the discussion has been pretty toxic up to this point, preventing any true rational consensus one way or the other. Your statement above is the first time you have said "Kokuchukai belongs in the lead" without also saying "nationalism doesn't and several users who are trying to push it in are behaving tendentiously", and Nishidani's posts were the same. SilkTork initially said that the Kokuchukai has to be in the lead based on how the body was structured at that time: I highly doubt any random user who comes across the redraft once it's completed would come to the same conclusion. And it's very difficult to consider what Icuc2 has said as being in support of discussing the Kokuchukai in the lead or anywhere else.
I'm going to drop it for now (or... I'm going to try to drop it... I don't know if the others will let me, though) and work on finishing the draft, and not touch the Kokuchukai reference in the lead in the draft. Then once the article is better, and once the dust has settled (and hopefully once John Carter is banned from either interacting with me or going anywhere near the Miyazawa Kenji article) we can go back and discuss the Kokuchukai-lead issue again and all be grown-ups about it one way or the other.

Worst wikimistake ever

i was just going back over the March RFC to verify that I had in fact said what I told Icuc2 I had said about the dragon/poet intro, and I found something hilariously ironic.

On the morning of March 12, 2015, I mentioned a user's name on the talk page of an article that user had never edited nor shown any interest in. Two months later it's still biting me in the ass.

Could this be a candidate for WP:AAAARGH?

Photo request? Main entrance to the South Mississippi Correctional Institution

I saw that you were located in southern Mississippi. Do you do photo requests? If so, how far away is South Mississippi Correctional Institution (Leakesville) from Hattiesburg? Are you interested in posting a photo of the main entrance sign/gate? (please do not try to actually enter the property, though!) I took a photo of the main gate to Parchman and I was thinking of something like that. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:21, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: well it's a 45 minute drive from Hattiesburg, but I'd be glad to swing by there! Btw, did you just happen to drive past Parchman and snap a picture of it or did you go out of your way to find it? ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 13:43, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks in advance! About Parchman, I was in a car driving by it. Parchman wasn't the main reason for the car's route, but I knew Parchman was going to be along the route. I had my camera ready as the main gate approached. It looks like somebody painted it yellow (previously a lot of the pictures showed the gate as white).
Another thing: I wonder if you or your wife know about the hoshuko (part-time Japanese schools) of Jackson, Mississippi, Oxford, Mississippi, and Memphis (Japanese in Southaven, et. al. would go to the Memphis school). Here is an Ole Miss page about the Oxford Japanese School. Jackson's is listed by the consulate in Nashville but no independent website seems to exist.
WhisperToMe (talk) 13:49, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
@WhisperToMe: ah ok I understand. About the hoshuko, no I don't know anything about them. Are you wanting a picture of them as well? I can get one of the hoshuko in Jackson, since I go up there at least once a month, but I probably won't go up to Oxford or Memphis anytime soon (I've only gone through North Mississippi once in my life and it was many years ago). ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 14:26, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
I also saw that there's a hoshuko in New Orleans, and I could get a picture the next time I'm down there. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 14:29, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Cool! I'm not exactly sure which building the Jackson Hoshuko holds its classes in. Its address is c/o Wesley Biblical Seminary. Anyway, if you are interested in taking more photos in the Jackson area, if it's okay I would like to show a list of photo requests. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:38, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
BTW the New Orleans Hoshuko is held at The Waldorf School of New Orleans. It used to be held at Tulane University. Hoshuko typically rent classroom space from universities/schools/churches since they only operate on weekends, and an office somewhere else houses the school administration. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:41, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
@WhisperToMe: not a problem! ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 14:46, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: well I went through Columbia and Leaksville today and got most of the pictures. Some of those addresses were wrong though (CSD office was a bench in the middle of a park?), and I honestly could not find the correctional facility. I found a trailer park full of Greene County police cruisers and some "State property: keep out" signs, but there wasn't much else to indicate that it was there. Also, there was a death in my extended family, so I'll be in Florida until next week. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 03:28, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear that it happened. I hope your family will recover. I'll have to double-check the CSD address.
WhisperToMe (talk) 06:03, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

This webpage shows an image of the CSD headquarters and gives the address: "613 Bryan Avenue, Columbia, MS 39429" - I know some addresses may be hard to find or conflict with mapping programs. It's unfortunate.... WhisperToMe (talk) 06:17, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: yeah, 613 Bryan is in the middle of a park, but on the corner of Bryan and Broad was File:Columbia School District Office Annex.jpg (close enough). Very unfortunate. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 06:37, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
One trick for next time is using alternate mapping software that may pinpoint the location better. Another is to search in Google Maps street view until you see the real building. In the country I'm in right now I can't use Google Maps easily... - Also, do you often visit the place in Florida in happier times? If so I can post requests for that area too. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:42, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
@WhisperToMe: Well like with the correctional facility, I used two different mapping softwares (considered going to the courthouse and asking for a real map) to find where it was supposed to be, but I just couldn't find a way in. And no, I only come out to Florida about twice a year at most. What country are you in? ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 13:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Photo request

Hi Sturmgewehr88, I came across several photos on Wikipedia that you have recently taken in and around Hattiesburg, MS. That led me to your Talk page, where WhisperToMe had made several photo requests. If you are still amenable to photo requests, there are two buildings located at Camp Shelby that are on the National Register of Historic Places, but lack photos. Those structures are items #2 (Building 1071) and #3 (Building 6981) on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Forrest County, Mississippi. Images of those two buildings would complete the current NRHP listings in Forrest County. Thanks for your consideration. Woodlot (talk) 11:55, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Little help?

Believe it or not, Curtis has actually started an ANI thread asking for me to TBANned for supposedly engaging in "battleground" behaviour. Even though said battleground behaviour consists of pointing out the blatantly obvious fact that he has been misreading/misrepresenting sources, something you yourself have pointed out too. The thread is TLDR but several users who don't like me for other reasons have already voiced their support without actually reading the discussion. Little help convincing the community/admin corps that he is the one who needs a TBAN? Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 00:31, 16 May 2015 (UTC)Italic text

Thanks, Pishcal — ♣ 02:14, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

@Pishcal: please see this discussion. Originally, my signature was how you are asking me to change it to, but another user a few months ago asked me to change it because it interfered with some gadget. I'll go ahead and ping @McGeddon:. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 02:23, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
I actually believe that we've both suggested the same change, and are referring to the same "gadget", the syntax highlighter. Just to clarify, I am asking to to change your signature to the bottom version. I've reformatted my original post just to make it a bit more clear. As you can see and as McGeddon said previously, they both render the same, but the bottom version doesn't cause problems to the syntax highlighter. Pishcal — ♣ 02:27, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
@Pishcal: No, you're asking me to change my signature back to how it had been previously. My current signature is how McGeddon asked me to change it to fix the syntax highlighter. I will change it back now because you're asking me to, but I want to hear from McGeddon. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 02:44, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Why My Edit Was Not Unnecessary

I can see that you recently reverted my edit on an article. The reason for this you claimed was that my edit was unnecessary. However, I utterly fail to understand why my edit would be unnecessary, all my edit consisted of was adding a metric measurement alongside the measurement in feet. The reason behind my edit is that the majority of the World's population are not brought up with feet as a measurement (including myself), therefore it is much harder to visually what six feet actually means. Therefore, I added the measurement in the metric system. I fail to understand why this is supposedly unnecessary. Yes, the metric measurement is mentioned in the fact box, but so is the measurement in feet, would it not then also be unnecessary to have the measurement in feet in the article? I sincerely hope that you do respond since I am genuinely intrigued to your thought process behind this. --Hejligan (talk) 11:39, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

@Hejligan: The source that stated his height used feet, so that's what I used in the article, and I put meters in the infobox for convenience of metric users, so yes I thought it was unnecessary. But I'm inclined to agree with you now, and I'll readd meters to the article. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 16:34, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

History of Japan revert

Just so you know, you're assisting in the harassment of Hijiri88 against other editors. He has only placed the tags on the article out of spite to irritate CurtisNaito. Perhaps you are unaware that Hijiri88's actions are being investigated at ANI.  — Calvin999 17:31, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

@Calvin999: how is challenging the reliability of a source (which to me isn't reliable) a form of harrassment? ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 17:41, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
Because he's cropped up on every article and nomination CurtisNaito works on and nominates since Curtis commented about the course of action that should be applied to him on ANI.  — Calvin999 21:16, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
@Calvin999: and that would be History of Japan and that one other article right? Two articles over the course of several days is still not hounding. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 23:57, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Do you want to take CurtisNaito and TH1980 to ANEW or will I?

I'd really rather you do it, and I back you up, since I think another AN thread started by me is a bad idea at this exact moment.

It seems pretty obvious that CN didn't read my comment before making his latest revert. They have thus far completely failed to use the talk page correctly (as with last time CN was told off on ANEW) and are therefore the only party who have been engaged in "edit-warring". BRD and BURDEN are both on our side as well.

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 11:38, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

@Hijiri88: I won't be able to do it until this evening, but at this point something needs to be done. You should also stop reverting him so it's not as bad when the finger-pointing starts (and it will). TH1980 is a different story, I'd rather leave him be for now. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 13:19, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree with you. I don't think blocks are warranted anyway -- I think what we should request is that an admin revert to the consensus version generally agreed to by you, me, Nishidani, Vivexdino and Phoenix7777 and protect the page for a coupla days.
Although if Rjensen responds to the message I left him the way I think he might, then it will no longer be five users independently opposing the reinsertion of those citations against two users who think they belong and two users who think any position I hold must be wrong, but five or six users independently opposing the reinsertion of those citations against one user who thinks they belong and two users who think any position I hold must be wrong.
Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:38, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Although Calvin999 has been here far too long and made far too many good edits to actually be a "true believer" in the cause of forcing me off Wikipedia -- he could probably be won over with the proper well-reasoned, policy-based arguments.

History of Japan is not a GA, and should probably be reassessed in the near future

Hey, regarding the massive problems already demonstrated on the "good article" History of Japan -- would you mind helping me draft a GA reassessment proposal here? As you know, I have a habit of being kind of long-winded, and not very objective. In talk page discussions I can't reasonably ask you to write my posts for me, but I can ask for assistance drafting a proposal. As you are also aware, the article contains massive sourcing problems, with unreliable sources cited, and words put in the mouths of reliable sources -- I checked some of the areas I know more about than the Wikipedian who rewrote the article, and found about a 75% OR/misleading rate; but I don't know everything -- if you could check some of the other passages for problems and succinctly describe them in the draft, it would help.

Catflap

Considering how much I've been trying to keep him from retiring, you shouldn't be surprised to have seen it coming. Luckily, one thing I pointed out to him, in e-mail, was that we have a lot of material which is still used in academic reference encyclopedias from older PD German-language encyclopedias, and a lot of it could be very beneficially used if it were translated. I am still, unfortunately, working on the list of works by number of times referred to from the Encyclopedia of Religion, but I hope to have it finished and added to the talk page of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Library page by the end of the week, with any luck. John Carter (talk) 23:06, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

@John Carter: I think you're mistaken; I predicted he would come back out of "retirement", again, which he basically just did. If anything, he's just taking a wikibreak. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 23:15, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
I have been in contact with him for some time, I don't think you have. I actually try to keep in regular e-mail for a while with a lot of editors who are considering leaving, as part of the efforts of WikiProject Editor Retention. And, actually, he had indicated earlier that he would be amenable to doing some translations from German-language sources like the RGG for articles we don't have here yet and maybe adding them to German wikisource first, perhaps translating to English wikisource second, and then, maybe, using that as a basis for an English article here. Not everyone place first priority on editing their user page first, and, apparently, he may not have forgotten the edit, or had it slip his mind, earlier. John Carter (talk) 23:22, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
@John Carter: No, not since he stated he no longer wants to interact with me however-many months ago. And good for him and the project if he decides to do that. On another note, you study religion right? Which religions specifically? ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 01:00, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
Not so much any religion specifically. My own field, I guess, is primarily reference works. I live in St. Louis, which has a huge number of seminaries and divinities schools in the area, and also the St. Louis University divinity library, counted as being one of the best in the world in the broad field of religion as a whole. Washington University's library isn't so much a divinity library, but it isn't bad either. But the religious content has been for some time among the most contentious, and having reference works available tends to make resolving some of the arguments, particularly regarding those relating to weight, a bit easier. And, between all of them, I think I have access to pretty much every recent reference work in the field, somewhere in town anyway. I know Catholicism best, being one, but most of the content on that topic specifically is already fairly good. John Carter (talk) 01:17, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

One week after the moratorium...

Does "No one has yet found any actual problems with the sourcing used in the article" seem like it "violates WP:IDHT"? Because that's how it looks to me. I don't think Dennis Brown would take to kindly to me reporting this violation to him directly, though. Thankfully, you already said you were on the lookout for this -- wanna field this one? Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 18:10, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

He just did it again. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 18:29, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
@Hijiri88: I'll wait for his reply at the GAR, and if he just continues I'll go ahead and let Dennis Brown know. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 18:50, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
He couldn't resist: two hours after you posted the above, he repeated yet again "There was no problem with the way the original sources were cited, but there was disagreement over certain dates and details and so ultimately the original sources were replaced with different sources". Also, another thing that should probably be pointed out to Curtis in response to "In a reassessment, discussion should focus on alleged problems with the article as it is, not alleged problems which no longer exist" the fact that the article never should have passed GA review in the first place; it only snuck by despite obvious, glaring problems because the reviewer ignored these problems. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 02:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
I think you need to do it soon. AlbinoFerret and John Carter (without giving me a notification) followed my edits very closely and almost immediately made a de facto request to Dennis to block me for what may or may not have been a slight slip-up. But I didn't slip-up. There was no assumption of bad-faith, bludgeoning, personal attacks, IDHT, poor sourcing, or any other such from me in the above link. CurtisNaito very quickly violated the final, final warning on engaging in the exact same disruptive, IDHT behaviour as before by insisting three times in a row[5][6][7] that no one had found any problems with the sources, with problems with the sources very clearly presented both weeks ago and in the current GAR. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 03:01, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

I replied to your email, by the way. :-) Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 16:55, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Could you post something on the GAR for me?

Would you mind telling TH1980 that I live in Japan and can't access American libraries, and don't want to waste money on importing a short introductory textbook to a subject I took multiple classes on in college? And that his word on what the source says is pretty worthless if he can't distinguish "about 1004" from "in 1004", "after 759" from "in 759", "Chinese poetry" from "Japanese poetry" and "immigration" from "invasion"?

I'd do it myself, but I'm committed to not responding more than twice, and you're a rational person so it's not like I'm putting words in your mouth.

This isn't going to turn out well

I'd love to comment on TH1980, but I don't see this turning out well. Certain editors are too adept at gaming the system, and I think you guys leave yourselves wide open to their attacks. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 23:50, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

If the ArbCom case ends up encompassing the CurtisNaito disputes, it will end up being Hijiri vs the world. That appears to be the goal of the gamers—make it all about Hijiri. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 00:12, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Like I just told Kingsindian, from my own limited experience, I don't remember ArbCom ever telling anyone that they could not become a party to a case. CurtisNaito has, apparently, although I acknowledge the dubious phrasing, requested being listed as a party, and it seems likely to me, on the basis of what I said above, that he likely will be allowed to become one. I think I remember, once, maybe, a case being split into two cases, and if anyone thinks that might be a good idea here, hey, go for it and ask it be broken up into multiple cases. John Carter (talk) 00:34, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
There we go—talking about them as if they were one case that needs to be "broken" into two, instead of two unrelated cases that are now being schmeershed into one. I fully expect someone to get around to naming me an involved party, despite the fact that I have been in dispute with neither Catflap nor CurtisNaito. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 00:46, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
AGF is just wonderful, isn't it? So far as I can tell, CN has asked to be a party in the C/H case, and, if he is made one, then it will be just one case as a matter of procedural fact, whatever others think of the fairness or lack of same in that. I guess I should also say that I think it worth noting that in a lot of regards the only real difference between a party and a non-party is the amount of evidence they can present. ArbCom has also at least historically stated up front that the behavior of all individuals involved is subject to review, whether they are parties or not. Also, I guess it is worth noting, it isn't simply the amount of evidence that is presented which they take into account, but any indications of behavior behind evidence, etc., etc., etc., which, by large, isn't determined by amount of evidence. Of course, anyone can file evidence, whether they are listed as parties or not. John Carter (talk) 00:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Muddying the waters is muddying the waters, and nothing good will come from it. Certain editors there are invested in gaming the system and will draw other editors' efforts away from improving content. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 01:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Denial of reality, such as perhaps the reality of a given individual being a party, whether others approve of that or not, is also denial of reality, and very, very rarely does anything good come of that. And there are also in general very few good results when individuals apparently believe that their own preconceptions are what qualifies as "good" to their eyes, and also, frankly, their perhaps being unwilling to actively do anything to bring about what they see as good, preferring to simply complain in dubiously relevant ways and locations. John Carter (talk) 01:33, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
??? We're apparently not even talking about the same thing. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 02:22, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
@Curly Turkey: allow me to translate: no good will come from StG88's denial that TH1980 is an involved party at ArbCom. Also, little good comes from believing what you think is "good" is actually "good", and also you not not willing to fix problems but preferring to complain about them instead (John Carter has this thing where he'll complain about something and if you tell him he should do something about it, he'll tell you to do something about it, because you are the one complaining). At lease you and I are on the same page CT. I knew the instant that John Carter showed up that he would filibuster the hell out of the thread until the cavalry arrived, and then it'd be closed as "no consensus" as always. If I had known that "he's possibly involved at ArbCom" was a valid excuse to let a wikistalker off the hook and call the opener a proxy/meatpuppet I would've waited even longer to bring up this issue. And you're right, these editors pushing to include CurtisNaito, TH1980, and others into the case are trying to make it "Hijiri vs the world". ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 04:31, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Just FYI

You've been mentioned by two separate users here. If you wanna weigh in when you get back from your break it might be a good idea. I'm gonna steer clear of it from now on, since I wanna devote all of my non-ArbComEvidence energies to building the encyclopedia for a while (hopefully until the ArbCom case is fully resolved).

Massive IDHT/misrepresentation of sources on Talk:History of Japan (again)

Hey Sturmgewehr88, sorry to bother you again but I don't have the energy to deal with this right now.

I quoted Henshall right to Curtis's face and he responded with this outrageous interpretation of the text I quoted.

Would you mind talking to him, or maybe getting an admin (since he seems to think that admins, even former admins, are infallible -- at least when they appear to be on his side) to talk to him?

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 15:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Also, notice how it took him only four minutes to read this comment by me and think up and type a 44-word response. It's almost like he had the response pre-written. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 15:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@Hijiri88: I've addressed this at ANI. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 16:54, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to say this again...

Curtis responded to a point-blank quoting of what the source said and what he said with "I never distorted any wording from the source". However, I doubt he even read my comment before responding, given the break-neck speed with which he managed to do so. To check, I retyped the exact 88 words he did, not bothering to fix spelling errors I made along the way from typing as fast as I could, and it took me one minute and fifty-six seconds. He managed to not only do that but also read my post carefully and compose his response (rather than just retyping it) in under five minutes? How are we going to work with this guy if he is not only ignoring what we say but apparently doesn't even care to make it look like he's reading our responses to him?

Arbitration evidence phase closing

Sturmgewehr88, this is just a note that Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Catflap08 and Hijiri88/Evidence phase will be closing in 2 days. If you would like to add any additional evidence or respond to statements made by others, you have until November 4th. Liz Read! Talk! 13:06, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Let's collude some more

We can find an article and work—together, mind you!—to improve it. You know, like we always do, ever since that article—but I think it'd be much more effective if we did it like that other article. Don't tell anyone, though, or we'll get indef banned. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 22:28, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I strongly doubt ArbCom will make a judgement on the CurtisNaito problem...

...so once the case is done we'll still have to deal with it. And he just made probably the most offensive of his IDHT/KETTLE comments yet.[8] This is one to keep on file for later. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 22:30, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Help needed

It seems @Curly Turkey: cried for help before I did. CT has insulted and threatened me several times and cursed like a sailor, all while violating many Wiki rules and being antithetical to the spirit of this site. I have attempted to defend my position with objective sourcing, but CT seems to prefer his own ownership of articles and logical fallacies and accusations over truth. All I tried to do was say that, much like Hakuna matata is clarified as not literally meaning "no worries" in Swahili, it is not "righting great wrongs" to put "ethnic groups" instead of "races" in the Maus article, and I already have three non-cherrypicked objective sources defending me. I have more, and he has nothing but being aggressive. I don't know why he's so stubborn when I have more defending me. Please help.--Sığe |д=) 02:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

@Sigehelmus: As another user pointed out at ANI, I'm not an admin; read WP:CANVASS. I think what another user said, using "races or ethnic groups", would be good wording. And the two sources you used in the article simply use the term "ethnic groups"; they aren't proposing that one is preffered over the other. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 08:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

"threats and intimidation"!?

[9]

You offer not to follow him and revert all his bad edits (only the ones on your watchlist) and he responds like that? I've only seen this kind of bizarre overreaction (deliberate misrepresentation?) from CurtisNaito -- perhaps more evidence that they are in cahoots and coordinating off-wiki?

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 07:35, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

@Hijiri88: I wouldn't go that far. I would just sum it up as him being salty. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 02:25, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Good article reassessment/Iwane Matsui/1

Curtis keeps decollapsing the extraneous discussion, and he's made it quite clear that his intention is to BLUDGEON the discussion to keep outside input to a minimum in order to decrease the chances of the article either getting radically altered or delisted. I can't handle much more of the IDHT abuse he's been dolling out on me. Any chance you could deal with it? Also pinging User:Curly Turkey: Sorry CT, I know you've been putting up with almost as much of this crap as I have of late, and I know you said you wouldn't get involved; this is mostly just to let you know what's been going on lately. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 10:52, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I know what's going on. I've been basically following it. I don't understand how he gets away with it after all this time. I've got little faith that even a book full of dis it's going to convince anyone who doesn't try seriously to engage with CurtisNaito, and who could blame anyone for not wanting to wade through his horseshit? Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 14:12, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Oh, and I know someone is going to try to paint this as canvassing on my part. It is not. Sturmgewehr88 already knows about the discussion, he is involved in it, his comments are the ones being collapsed, and his name has already been mentioned several times in the discussion on the talk page. He is the only one with as much of a right as me and CurtisNaito to be involved in a discussion of whether his comments should be collapsed and summarized.
