Greetings. Your recent edits to Japanese American internment are very interesting, but they are not well documented. Specifically:

• The Mueller blog reference needs a specific quotation or blog entry reference. I know that Mueller's blog is riddled with criticism of the internment in general and Malkin in particular. However for the reference, please add a specific link.
• "Handful:" We know there were many MAGIC messages. I have heard assertions both ways ("many" and "only a few"), but I have seen no references either way.

Can you provide more specific citations? Thanks for your contributions to the article. --ishu 11:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you just recently reverted my edit about the image description of Richard P. Ross Jr. as Commanding officer of 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. You had reverted my edit to the previous version, "commanding officer of 1st Battalion, 1st Marines", but in fact he was not commander of 1st Battalion at that time, because commander of 1st Battalion, 1st Marines was Lt.col. Austin C. Shofner at that time. Except the original BIO provided by USMC Military History division you can check this:

http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USMC/USMC-M-Okinawa/USMC-M-Okinawa-III.html

The image description in the publication The Final Campaign: Marine Victory on Okinawa is not correct. AntonyZ (talk) 15:14, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"In April 1945, Ross took part in the battle of Okinawa and because of the course of the battle, he held temporary command of 1st Battalion, 1st Marines for two days after its commander has been wounded in action" from Richard P. Ross Jr. via The Final Campaign: Marine Victory on Okinawa; likely accounts for the apparent discrepancy. This document mentions that he was commander of 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines (see page 21) *and* commander of 1st Battalion, 1st Marines (see caption for cover). It's conceivable that he *was* indeed acting commander of 1st Battalion, 1st Marines when the photo was taken. I still see no reason to doubt the original caption because there is no other source for an alternative caption; see WP:OR. Global Cerebral Ischemia (talk) 17:17, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But the Shuri Castle, Okinawa (where the picture was taken) was attacked by Marine Forces on May 21st and the battle lasted for several days or weeks. Lieutenant colonel Ross raised the U.S. flag on the last day of May 1945 (when the photo was taken); he served as acting commander of 1st Battalion, 1st Marines just for two days (May 10-12). So that means, there is a conflict in dates and that means, he aldready served as Commanding officer of 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines at the time of the photo. There is also another evidence for my claim (search: Richard P. Ross Jr. or see page 41 - "Lieutenant Colonel Richard P. Ross, commanding the 3d Battalion, 1st Marines, raised this flag in the rain on the last day of May, then took cover.":

https://www.marines.mil/Portals/59/Publications/The%20Final%20Campaign%20Marines%20in%20the%20Victory%20of%20Okinawa%20%20PCN%2019000313500_2.pdf

Let me know please, I will intend the the change of the caption of the image on the page Battle of Okinawa, but I want the complete agreement before the change. Thank you so much. AntonyZ (talk) 17:35, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The evidence you've provided seems to definitively settle the matter. Thanks for looking into this! Global Cerebral Ischemia (talk) 18:40, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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 shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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 the 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.

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.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Hi Global Cerebral Ischemia,

the page Coronavirus disease 2019 has been protected to prevent further edit warring on a semi-protected page, between users whose experience should be high enough not to engage in such behavior. Please be more careful when the protection expires.

Thanks and best regards,

Hey, I want to let you know, I think we need to find a community consensus on when the word Negro should and should not be used. I think it's whitewashing to remove it from many older articles, and indeed it's embedded in the names of many articles, especially schools, also "colored schools". It would not be appropriate to use today, but when we're talking about history, like in Uncle Remus, we're talking about how inappropriate it was. The use of the original wording, in my opinion, is important. Obviously others disagree. I'm searching for a community-wide discussion on when to use such a word, and when not to. I would welcome your help. If we can't find such a discussion, we should start one, I'm not sure the appropriate location (perhaps the Teahouse?). If you can find a discussion, please let me know. I expect it may take some time. I'm extremely busy right now, but maybe ask around. Some of the more prolific editors probably know where exactly to look. Thanks!

I invite you to take a look and hopefully participate in a renewed discussion about the SARS-CoV-2 lab leak theory, in this link. Forich (talk) 00:10, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to bring to your attention that Vox, the source you used to backup your comment last year on the question of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 has issued an editor's note, saying: Since this piece was originally published in April 2020, scientific consensus has shifted. Now some experts say the “lab leak” theory warrants an investigation, along with the natural origin theory, and information in this article may be out of date..Forich (talk) 16:16, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The apparent certitude of commentary on this topic a year ago was deeply misleading, and my own comment unintentionally contributed to that. Sadly, I suspect that this was at least partially driven by politics. I've long since changed my mind, and I believe that a possible lab leak is a very real possibility.

I didn't want to introduce a tangent in your discussion on Talk:Persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire, but I wanted to make you aware of the Who Wrote That? browser extension. It adds a menu item to the left sidebar on articles. When you click it, you can hover over any prose content in the article and immediately see when it was added to the article and who added it. It makes it easy to figure out whether a problem in an article was just recently added or has been in the article for awhile. It also highlights all of the other text added by that editor. Cheers!

Though your report at AN3 was closed as no violation there may still be a long term edit war on the article. Consider opening up an WP:Request for comment on the article talk page. This would require you to state tersely what the dispute is about, and it might bring it outside editors to give their opinions. Other options are given at WP:Dispute resolution. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 15:26, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I will definitely consider that. The dispute has been ongoing for sometime, so I think that may be helpful. Global Cerebral Ischemia (talk) 15:54, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
