- We can add loads more diffs to document the bad blood between the involved parties. I'm not opposed to putting more in the various Fof. The point is that the discord needs to end when the case closes. This means everyone needs to disengage from each other. You (Caspian blue) have a tendency to talk about users in a way that fans the flames. It is something that needs to stop going forward. Walk away and let other people deal with an issue. Life is too short to get annoyed over content disputes. Really :-) FloNight♥♥♥ 23:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Tenmei, again.
On reviewing your contributions, I don't think it will take you long. You're clearly rather intelligent, and I think all that's needed are tweaks, different habits of speech, and different tools for responding rather than anything major.
I have now begun to read the background to this matter. I am dismayed because a lot of it seems to be about things far beyond my expertise. I'm sorry to say that I have little knowledge of China, Korea, and Japan, and I am very aware it would be easy for me to give offence by accident. If I do, I did not mean to.
I want to say a few things about ArbCom, and then a few things about English.
- Arbcom
Wikipedia's "dispute resolution" system doesn't resolve content disputes. That's not what it's for. It deals only with matters of conduct. Wikipedia does not have a system for resolving content disputes. This is the central fact about ArbCom.
Where an editor is in a content dispute, they will sometimes try to find ways to turn it into a conduct dispute, because once bad conduct on the other side's part has been shown, they will be sanctioned — and the content dispute is won by default. There are Wikipedians who are very good at using this system to their benefit.
It follows that when you are in a content dispute, it is essential to avoid giving the other side a chance to make it into a conduct dispute. This calls for extremely careful use of language, and I am pleased to see you have acted quite correctly by asking someone about it.
I want to say that personally, I am unwilling to edit any page concerned with an ArbCom dispute. I do not participate there. I have never done so and I hope I never will.
- Clear English
- 1) Use short words.
- 2) Use short sentences. Not necessarily all the time; it is okay to use long sentences as well, provided there are also short ones. Aim to make your average sentence no more than ten or twelve words long.
- 3) Use short paragraphs. Three or four sentences per paragraph should be the average.
- 4) Avoid qualifiers. This may seem strange, but English is often clearer when you do not use adjectives or adverbs. Instead, use more powerful verbs.
- Example:
- "It was raining heavily" --> "Rain slashed down". To most native English speakers, the second sentence seems stronger, clearer and more vivid.
- 5) Give examples, as I just did.
- 6) In a potential dispute situation, never use the second person if there is another option.
- Examples:
- "You're wrong" --> bad
- "I disagree" --> good
- 7) If you must use the second person, use the first person as well.
- "You shouldn't do that" --> bad
- "I think it would be better if you did this" --> good
- 8) Flag everything even remotely contentious as your opinion, rather than as fact. Give reasons why it's your opinion.
- "That's wrong" --> bad
- "I think that's wrong because..." --> good
I hope this helps you, and I wish you the best of luck with your dispute.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 00:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the bonsai tree!
There's a lot about Wikipedia that's beyond everyone's grasp. I'm certain that even Jimbo Wales would be baffled by many of the things that happen here.
I'm going to take one particular section of your answer and break it down.

WP:CITE doesn't in itself convert 5000 years of Chinese history (中华五千年) ipso factointo anything other than a citation.I might have tried to convey the same ideas like this:
