== Chan Tai San == == "commons" ==


There are two things with the name "commons" in them, that you should understand:
# Asking for ONE source per paragraph, especially where there is a claim that the individual if well known for something, is entirely reasonable.
#The tag at the top asks if someone could associate the list of sources with specific claims, the citation requests are pointers to areas that need sourcing.
#According to ] "''The threshold for inclusion in Misplaced Pages is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Misplaced Pages has already been published by a ]. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.''" so currently the page could be deleted, as none of the claims are sourced.
# Did you actually read the edits? I asked for more information on the sources, as right now it is a list that tell people nothing. An ] is a unique reference number for periodical publications (as the ISBN is for books), if if is a number one magazine it is '''very''' unlikely that it hasn't got one, as most publications that are on general sale,even for niche markets, have one.
# Did you look at the resolution of that discussion? What happened was sources were added for various bit & I helped tidy it up including formatting the sources.
# No-one said sources had to be on-line, they are the most common but if you read ] they are not even prefferd.
#If you don't want something edited[REDACTED] is not the place for it.

:::My reference to the policy on civility was to draw your attention to the line "''Comment on the actions and not the editor''" After you decided to refer to me a childish.
:::You keep insisting I am be in unreasonable and biased. As I tried to point out, the whole article could have been put up for ], what you do not seem to understand is I am trying to ''improve'' the article, sourcing is the norm here, not an insult. I marked places that should be sourced '']'', using the links/sources at the bottom as I assumed someone more familiar with the topic would do a better job. If I was being vindictive as you clam I could have easily gone through your contributions list, putting all of them up for deletion, but that would be petty and would not help improve the encyclopedia. I have been trying to help you improve one article and then found another while doing so.
:::You say I have acted in a vindictive way before, please look more closely, what proportion of my edits have included disputes like this? Not that many, and of those, the majority ended amicably. For example look at the articles on ] where I and some others helped an editor who wanted to write about there style an linage write articles that have been recognised as up to the ] standard. Where there have been disputes it often stems from the fact I regularly look at short or newish Martial arts related articles for improvement, often their are one or two editors who wrote the bulk of the article and are surprised when it is edited, on other occasions it has been written and abandoned. ](<sup>]</sup>''/''<sub>]</sub>)
::::If we read through your responses, we see a definite pattern here. I noted that you '''INCORRECTLY''' tried to label my disagreement with you as "vandalism" and then cited the actual WIKI policy. you then were forced to admit it was not the correct thing to do. Now, you are saying "not that many" of your edits have been questioned, etc. Again, you originally inserted edits almost every three words. You inserted them in very questionable places (eg. "Chan Tai San studied several years" inseted citation? "Chan Tai San studied with Chan Sai Mo" inserted citation? "Chan Tai San was well respected" inserted citation? on and on). Honestly, this is a WASTE OF TIME, in my opinion, and you can condemn me all you want for saying it, you have a lot of spare time on your hands and are looking for things to edit. Why else attack an article that is already well cited and on a subject that results in HUNDREDS of hits with a simple GOOGLE search? I can understand asking for citations on "controversial" subjects and I can certainly understand editing vandalism, etc. "Nit picking" a completely valid article for the sake of "nit picking" to me seems utterly pointless. Maybe that's just me? ] (]) 15:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Not may no. look as a portion of my total less than 0.1% is what you are disputing. So yes not many.
:::: Have there been no biographies you could site just a title & ISBN number! The article is '''''NOT''''' well cited, it has some general sources but if you want to check a particular statement you would have to search all of them. ] is '''not''' a source, I have not once questioned the ] of the individual which is all google (may) show, gives 505 results gives 8,470, so not that good a measure. As there were potenial sources I asked that they be attached to claims. Do you get the point?

Today, appears to be more reasonable than I had previously suspected, who knew? Had spare time so I attempted with my limited WIKI skills to cite more specifically the Chan Tai San article. Nate put it in WIKI format (which I don't know how to do) and left it at that. Others still apparently have axe to grind?

== Please stop ==
We don't have an axe to grind but rather we try to keep the quality level of the martial arts articles at a certain level. I think the editors that have been 'encouraging' you have had good will: they have just wanted citations. A hard-ass editor would question the article as original research or as a personal memorial ( both of which are ground for deletion). A hard-ass editor would question the copyright status of the web citations and the scans. Because there is sooo much totaly unsubstantiated claims in martial arts, we try to set a standard that keeps out the worst but allows the recent, smaller martial art topics. I'm sorry that the experience has been unpleasant for you but we thank you for using your knowledge to bring another better article to Wiki martial arts. ] (]) 09:19, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

:Yes, '''lkfmdc''' is David A Ross - the same person who posted regarding Nate being "unreasonable" "retarded" and "an anal retnative f-ck" and "a tool who thinks he is god" who "keeps putting in 'citation' buttons like every three words". Where Ross makes it clear that he believes that the readers' ability find "hundreds of Google links" is a good substitute for proper citations, and that the wiki editors "defy common logic".
:David A Ross then starts on me by calling on Kung Fu list members to "support chan tai san... one of the wiki-ots wants to delete the entry... get this, according to him, since much of CTS's material is in Chinese (uh, doh! he's Chinese from China) and HE can't read it....." WRONG again... for one thing, I never said I wanted to delete the article because much of the material is in Chinese (and I challenge you to cite where I said that, and anyway only one item was in Chinese).

3 Revert Rule

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Insinr8 (talk) 05:48, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
