KenkamHi! Wikipedia:Introduction to Wikipedia! Hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages. Here are some links that you might find useful: * Try the Wikipedia:Tutorial. If you have less time, try Wikipedia:How to edit a page. * To sign your posts (on Wikipedia:Tutorial (Talk pages), Votes for deletion page etc.) use ---- Hi BanyanTree, I have visited Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and found out some interesting pointers to share with you. ===Key policies=== 1) Avoid bias. Articles should be written from a neutral point of view, representing differing views on a subject fairly and sympathetically. * Was Curps Neutral when he deleted other points of view, even if they were differing. The term "Asian Tsunami" is an accept term or name for the event that happened on the 26th Dec 2004, covered by news media and the net. Blatantly calling 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake is silly because there have been hundreds of earthquakes very week since 26th Dec 2004 but there is only one deadly tsunami that has been named by the media as the "Asian Tsunami".User:Kenkam 08:13, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) 2) Don't infringe copyrights. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia licensed under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. Submitting work which infringes copyrights threatens our objective to build a truly free encyclopedia that anyone can redistribute, and could lead to legal problems. See Wikipedia copyrights for more information. * No problems here. User:Kenkam 08:13, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) 3) Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Its goals go no further. See What Wikipedia is not for more info. * An 'encyclopedia' by Wiki definition is "containing articles on topics in many different fields ... specialise in a particular field", by branching Asian Tsunami to its categories covering specialised field & topics is my purpose & goal. In fact, I have come to a point to consider creating a "Asian Tsunami" Wiki project on my own ... care to contribute here ;-) User:Kenkam 08:13, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) 4) Respect other contributors. Wikipedia contributors come from many different countries and cultures, and have widely different views. Treating others with respect is key to collaborating effectively in building an encyclopedia. For some guidelines, see Wikipedia etiquette, Wikipedia:Writers rules of engagement, Wikipedia:Civility, Dispute resolution. * I admit I see thing differently, maybe because I am orient-asian, from a land far away ... in this case at the epicentre of the disaster ... I need some respect & space which Curps has failed big time in rendering to me / others. User:Kenkam 08:13, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) ===Behaviour guidelines=== 5) No personal attacks (and move personal debates to email) * I am attacked by Curps ... if this was real-life I would have been murdered by him already !! ... ;-) User:Kenkam 08:13, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) 6) Please do not bite the newcomers * Not only did Curps bite me, he chew the bits he bit-off from me !! He bit me when I was new, before I had an account, and he is bitting me now too !! User:Kenkam 08:13, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) Three revert rule (Revert wars considered harmful) * While I had the courtesy to announce my idea to propose a change of name of 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, he just went ahead & moved my articles without consultation & consensus ... poor me. User:Kenkam 08:13, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Re: your complaint == Kenkam, I know you are new here, but you have been making some unfounded accusations against Curps. Please read Wikipedia:No personal attacks and Wikipedia:Vandalism for explanation of the terms. He has not performed any vandalism, nor made any personal attack of which I am aware. * (reply) Hi Knowledge Seeker, thank you for your kind comment. My compliant against Curps is not unfounded but well documented with every point fully explained. Curps was the one the launched unwarranted attacks against me, I do not have any ill intent with Curps though. User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) Your comments, however, about his being on a vendetta and his insecurities over ''his'' article are bordering on an attack. You seem overly attached to the idea of ownership of articles: none of the articles are yours or his. Furthermore, you may perceive it as a vendetta since ''you are the only one in favor of these changes.'' You may feel you have been singled out, but it is because you continue to make these changes without a single user to support you; on the other hand, there are a large number who are in favor of the current system. * Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia and anyone can edit it .. that is what it says so with its original intent. While I never claimed ownership or rights over any of my contributions, I have been side-lined by Curps through his deletes, moves and hurtful comments about me and so I can only defend gracefully as decently as I can ... Curps, "if you can stop pinching me, I'll stop crying in pain" ... User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) Also realize that other contributors, including me, won't be impressed with your continual vague claims of all the other Wikipedians who support your claim if none of them actually step up and back you up. * I have never said other Wikis were in support of me but I pointed to the massive net communities that is calling the event "Asian Tsunami" not only me (3.5 millions sites out there). The Wikis I may have mentioned were friendlies that suggested that I start a series on my own without the struggle of change by the initiator of the original article. Anyway, my purpose is to state the facts and they will convince themselves. I do not seek other's impressions or support, because the truth will permeate itself ... always. User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) What I'd recommend you do at this point is back off gracefully. * Suggestion or threat ?? User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) And apologizing to Curps wouldn't be a bad idea either. * My apologies but Curps is the perpetrator ... ;-)User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) If you have material you would like to add about the earthquake, 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake#Quake characteristics would be a great place. * If my contributions were accepted in the first place, would we be have this discussions ?!User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) If that section gets too large, then you or someone else may suggest spinning the tsunamis off into 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami or something like that. * Some categories of the topic don't fit (Wiki sense) into the original article. The original article talks about the indian ocean earthquake in 2004 where events has massive occurred even currently and has evolved to other dimensions that need Wiki attention.User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) However, remember to respect the consensus of all editors. Wikipedia is a community, which means that we must all work together. Sometimes we may not all agree but we should follow policy and consensus. * How I wished kindness was first showered upon me before I could beautifully reflect it back ... alas !User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) If you can't bear to follow these rules, you are free to write whatever you like on your own web site, * I have ... Curps either deleted it or moved it (all documented)!! User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) but I hope you will stay here and devote your time and energy to improving these articles, rather than trying to write your own versions of them. * OK ... but I think someone needs to talk to Curps.!User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) As you said during the proposed name change, "'it is harder the change something you are used to than to scrub stubborn stains off your socks.'" * I said it ... I think it would be wise to let things as they are, that is why my "Asian Tsunami" series ... which has little to do with the 2004 earthquakes in the indian ocean. !User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) I know it is hard to change what you are used to or what you would like, but just as you conceded that name change to consensus, try to respect it in other areas and don't try to circumvent it. — User:Knowledge Seeker (User talk:Knowledge Seeker) 08:23, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) * Have I not already closed the voting to move the original article ? I value consensus. Starting a different string of Asian Tsunami articles has little to do with last year's earthquakes in the indian ocean.User:Kenkam 09:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Do not modify others' comments == Kenkam, it is considered inappropriate to modify another user's signed comments, even if you feel their spelling, punctuation, or grammar is incorrect. — User:Knowledge Seeker (User talk:Knowledge Seeker) 09:16, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) * Hi Knowledge Seeker, if you carefully read through each reply, you will see that none of your remarks were deleted, modified or manipulated but just a reply pointer after each question. Thanks. User:Kenkam 09:44, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) **You changed "realize" to "realise" and "apologizing" to "apologising." — User:Knowledge Seeker (User talk:Knowledge Seeker) 09:49, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) *** Opps ... my UK spelling bots ... my sincere apologies ! User:Kenkam 10:19, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) **** Don't worry about it—I hadn't seen you do anything like this in the past. I just wanted to point it out, since we want people to edit and correct articles, not talk pages, and sometimes people can get confused. Just something to watch out for in the future. — User:Knowledge Seeker (User talk:Knowledge Seeker) 10:37, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Do not crosspost == Please don't excessively cross-post messages among various Talk pages, just to make your point or to "call people to action". It is disruptive, and unwelcome. -- User:Netoholic User talk:Netoholic 06:13, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC) * Hi Netoholic, what do you mean ? User:Kenkam 06:25, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Link syntax == Hi Kenkam, i've noticed that you use the external link syntax for all your links. This is why your links show up light blue with a small graphic on their right, instead of dark blue like everyone else's. You may enjoy reading some of the following articles to learn to make proper links: *Help:Editing#Links, URLs *Help:Link *Help:Piped link *Wikipedia:How to link to sister projects If you would like to respond, the convention on wikipedia is for you to post your response to my talk page, since i will not take the time to watch yours for a response. --User:Foobaz·User talk:foobaz 16:38, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC) :No problem, i'm glad to help. :User:Foobaz·User talk:foobaz 00:07, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Template:CategoryAsianTsunamiSheader == I see you created this template, but it isn't being used. If it is just a test, please edit it and place this tag, and someone will delete it for you - KenkamSee other meanings of words starting from letter: KKA | KB | KC | KD | KE | KF | KG | KH | KI | KJ | KL | KM | KN | KO | KP | KR | KS | KT | KU | KW | KX | KY | KZ |Words begining with Kenkam: Kenkam Kenkam |
