Dhammakaya as a good topic

You might want to watch this.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 11:03, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

I am going to nominate Luang Por Dhammajayo for GA. I think the article is only 20–30% the same as the Wat Phra Dhammakaya article, as the latter has already been significantly modified. I don't think the article will suffer as a result of the review, and if the reviewer isn't being fair we can always abort the nomination. Okay?--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 14:54, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Okay, that works. Wikiman5676 (talk) 00:53, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much Carabinieri!

So I'm very excited to be working with you on this review. Wikiman5676 (talk) 17:43, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Any ideas as to why there are two peaks in the views graph? See here.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 00:44, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Hmm. that's a good point. I havent been able to find any reason for it appearing twice. Not really any new news either. Very perplexing. Wikiman5676 (talk) 06:04, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

List of branch centers

I think we should consider making a list like this. What do you think?--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 07:02, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

excellent idea. Wikiman5676 (talk) 15:40, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Where shall we begin? Wikiman5676 (talk) 03:56, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

We can start by making a list first in a new article, then add local news sources to confirm the existence of the branches.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 00:45, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

File:Tzu Chi Logo.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Biographies of living persons

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

JimRenge (talk) 18:51, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello Wikiman5676, the message above is just a reminder of the more stringent wp rules concerning biographies of living subjects. I have sent you a new alert because the community assumes that people may forget it after a year. My memory may be even worse. JimRenge (talk) 19:22, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate the notice. Although not related to anything I have done recently I actually did somewhat forget about this rule. Wikiman5676 (talk) 00:57, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

December 2018

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
This is a procedure-driven notice required in case an admin review of your editing becomes necessary. Please do not engage in edit war that is in part based on false statements about sources. Please do check the scholarly sources I have cited before you repeatedly dispute/revert my edits. As always, you are welcome to discuss the source and any concerns on the article's talk page. Your cooperation is requested, Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 12:19, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
