D. iStockAnalyst.com (link) posted a Kyodo News report mentioning "concerns about its resemblance to a light aircraft carrier":

• "Despite the Hyuga's look and feel of a light aircraft carrier, the MSDF says it is anything but."
• "'An aircraft carrier, I believe, has a fair degree of offensive functions. Based on that definition, this Hyuga falls a little bit outside of the frame,' MSDF Chief of Staff Adm. Keiji Akahoshi told a news conference on Tuesday."
• "The acquisition of a destroyer that could project the force far from Japan's coast, however, raises concerns in Asia. It may even spur rivalry with countries like China, which is rumored to build an aircraft carrier of its own."
• "Japan denies itself offensive capabilities under its war-renouncing Constitution. But the government interprets the supreme law to mean that it can possess the minimum level of armed force necessary for its self-defense."

• The
  Japan Times news story included a Kyodo photo

Hi. Got your message on my talk page. Acknowledged, I let Dan get to me. I'll try not to let it happen again.

Since you've posted a couple of times on my talk page, I took a look at your contribs and see you are involved with deletions. I'd like to ask your advice on this article. It looks to me like it doesn't meet WP sourcing or notability requirements and may be a candidate for deletion. What do you think? Will in China (talk) 15:20, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hear ye, hear ye

User:Tenmei has filed an ArbCom case against me and I have done a little research on Tenmei and noted you have interacted with this user. Can you help provide an opinion about him? Thanks.Teeninvestor (talk) 22:06, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Tang_Dynasty/Evidence

I was asked to state my opinion and I did. I cannot recommend a single article written (or contributed to significantly) by Tenmei as being anywhere near accurate or readable. Prompted by Teeninvestor's comment, I just went through some of the articles I've contributed to and found that Tenmei had added introduced fundamental errors (things as crucial as what sect of Buddhism a temple belongs to) into some of those pages. These could have been corrected with 10 seconds of fact-checking. Even clicking on the link to the equivalent Japanese Wikipedia page would have sufficed. Meanwhile those articles swell in size and often become nothing but point-form lists copied verbatim from outdated copyright-expired texts. Bueller 007 (talk) 23:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't dispute whether you're right on holding that view; my message to you was about the way you presented it to

WP:NPA - I could have templated (which I normally do). Coldmachine^Talk 06:38, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply

]

I gave an opinion about a person, as I was asked to do. As I have a negative opinion of that person, expressing that opinion necessitates what you're calling a "personal attack". Would you prefer that I say "I am unable to comment on that user"? Incidentally, if you're particularly referring to the "the cancer that's killing ..." line, it's a well-known Internet meme; a joke. You'll also note that no part of my comment falls into the "some types of comments are never acceptable" categories on the NPA link you provided. In short, if you're going to be the civility police and intervene in other people's conversations without invitation, you can at least make an effort to acquaint yourself with what you're criticizing and the policy you're supposedly policing. Bueller 007 (talk) 05:56, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CIV issues so let's just leave it. I gave you some polite advice, you responded with this retort. It's not worth the energy, good day. Coldmachine^Talk 07:11, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply

]

And apparently not worth the energy to tell me that you had even replied. Point in fact: I was asked to comment about a contributor. I did. My point in the comment above was that my statement can't be construed as a personal attack any more than your own statements that he "seems unable to engage with the process of consensus building" and "Tenmei’s inability to engage with his/her fellow editors". Those were precisely the kinds of comments we were asked to provide. We were asked to comment on the contributor, not the comment, which makes your incredibly low bar for what qualifies as a "personal attack". There is no need to reply to this comment, since I will seemingly remain uninformed if you happen to do so. Bueller 007 (talk) 21:08, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How very odd. I've no idea why you claim to be left in the dark about a reply in a thread on a user talk page: the onus is on you to come check it for replies, not on me to alert you each time one is posted, particularly since you initiated this discussion here in the first place. Calling someone the "cancer that's killing..." is tactless

User:Tenmei you were asked to do so in regards to his editing behaviour. That he has difficulties building consensus falls exactly within that criteria. That "he's the cancer killing Wikipedia" does not. Coldmachine^Talk 15:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply

You and User:Dan were more aware of him at first than me. He was civil but not pleasant, he was his usual intimidating self if you see how he was on people's userpages and over the Thelema article, trying to get other users in trouble and edit warring. Skim over all the complaints about the article on User_talk:Vassyana, and the warnings and so on on User talk:Dan, some of which I think he also made as an IP. He was using TOR but it looks like his tone, hastle Dan's endured over these articles since January 2008! User_talk:Dan#Your_POV_edits. Sticky Parkin 17:18, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear. Yes, I thought it was much longer than a year but only spotted those messages on your talk page. That's truly evil, but please don't think that's what all editors and articles are like. I'm surprised your still here. Hopefully it'll become a lot less nasty and more relaxed for you around here now, as most people don't edit war to that extent, try to get others in trouble that often, or leave aggro talk messages that persistently.

Notice to Members of Wikiproject Aquarium Fishes If you have recieved this notice it is because you signed up for the WP:AQF mothly newsletter, and have made a contribution to wikipedia within the last month. Wikiproject Aquarium Fish has seen a decline in member involvement over the past several months. This project is neary dead. I am trying to revive this project. Anyone who is still interested in working on this project please reply back to Drew R. Smith (talk) 23:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)). If you know of any active members who have not contributed recently and might be interested in the project please forward this message to them. If no reply is given member will be removed from member list. Thank you. Drew R. Smith (talk) 23:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point. However, this list is almost 50 people long and only about 12 have done anything in this past month. It is cluttering up the project page. Also, I don't think removing them from the list is such a big deal as it is a simple enough process to re-add their name to the list. Also, I would like someone to restart the newsletter or at least help me get a bot to deliver a new one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drew R.

I recently commented on WikiProject Merseyside's talk page, essentially wondering out loud how we could get the project to produce a few GAs (at the moment most of the GAs and FAs under the project are football or Beatles related). Although I'm a member of the project, I'm not hugely familiar with Merseyside articles so since you're more familiar with the subject I was wondering what your opinions were on how the project is doing and how it can improve and your input on the project's talk page would be much appreciated (my emphasis was on GAs etc, but there are many other ways to measure success). I've also left a note on

... What on Earth are you talking about?

That would be your edit here where you added two external links to promote external materials. Check #4 and #5 of

WP:SOAP for why your edit was probably reverted. I should add: I'm on wikibreak at the moment; this fact is established via a prominent banner on my user page and talk page, and I'm certain you must have known this to be the case seeing as you posted your query within the 'wikibreak' section above.
