In just the matter of a week or two, I1ve already revamped, overhauled, or written large segments of these following articles. I haven't really been keeping track though, not having an account until now (see below for old user names). Those are just the contributions that I can remember off the top of my head IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER:

[[Leonid Brezhnev]], [[British Empire]], [[capitalism]], [[Fidel Castro]], [[Chinese historiography]], [[Colonization of Africa]], [[Communism]], [[Deng Xiaoping]],  [[East Asian Tigers]], [[Economy of Taiwan]], [[Fascism]], [[Finance Capitalism]], [[Four Modernizations]], [[genocide]], [[Great Depression]], [[History of Belgium]],  [[History of Brazil]], [[History of China]], [[History of the Democratic Republic of the Congo]], [[History of the People's Republic of China]], [[History of Germany]], [[History of Taiwan]], [[History of the United Kingdom]], [[History of the United States]], [[J.A. Hobson]], [[Hu Jintao]], [[Hu Yaobang]],  [[Imperialism in Asia]], [[Jiang Zemin]], [[Saddam Hussein]], [[Kim Il Sung]], [[Kim Jong Il]], [[kimjongilia]], [[Leopold II of Belgium]], [[Mao]], [[Karl Marx]], [[Mussolini]], [[New Imperialism]],  [[Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party]], [[Soviet Union]], [[Stalin]], [[Getulio Dorneles Vargas]], [[World War I]], [[World War II]]

So far I1ve been preoccupied with the topics of modern China and nineteenth century imperialism, but I1ve also contributed to pages on Brazil, Russia and Ming China. I1d appreciate some suggestions for other topics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

133 doesnt have a user page to leave answers to. you seem to have some input in this debate. I would suggest you answer my question then as i have some degree of account. why does the word new, alone in combination with an expansive term like imperialism, combine to make a term that at some point or another can be called to be applied to something more recent? ---[[User:Stevertigo|Sv]]

----

I should hope that I have some influence over this article. I wrote the vast majority of its content, after all. I agree with 131 since 3New Imperialism2 is a very commonly used term in historiography to refer to this era specifically. The introductory paragraphs, thanks to some additions to my original text, make this point abundantly clear almost ad nauseam. The term 3High Imperialism2 is popular as well in reference to this era, but is less common. The version that he keeps restoring also makes the point that New Imperialism had inextricable links the breakdown of Pax Britannica.

Comment on the articles sometime too!

[[User:172|172]]

well, [[attachment]] is a vice here, im sure you agree. And at least Vera cruz and zoe disagree with you in principle from what i understand, though vera notes that the dates are arbitrary. 
-[[User:Stevertigo|Sv]]

i will add nothing more on it. its not a well chosen battle, and not all that interesting.  ---[[User:Stevertigo|Sv]]

----

I1m not emotionally 3attached2 to that article, if that1s what you1re insinuating. I simply disagreed with the redirect for the above reasons. I welcome all changes that are constructive.

----

I1ve had my differences with Vera Cruz only because he kept stipulating that the article remain a mixed-up, jumbled mishmash, and with Zoe for construing baseless, intuitive charges regarding bias while knowing little about the history of the topic or the historiography pertaining to the era.

172, your presence on Wikien-l has been [http://www.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-January/000552.html requested] by the owner of this website [[Jimbo Wales]]. You can sign-up with that list by going [http://www.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l here]. You can read the Wikien-l archives [http://www.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-January/subject.html here]. Specifically, look for the threads titled:  "172 :-(" and "It's time for 172 to be banned" --[[User:Maveric149|mav]]
:Is there such a thing as a 'request' where Wales is concerned?  Remember, 172, if you go to this kangaroo court, to sign up only with a hotmail or yahoo account.  Wales is a known 'outer', so do not trust him with any confidential data.  It would be nice, however, if you could back up your stuff with more sources, and choose titles that do not themselves express a point of view.

: What is an "outer"? -- [[User:Tarquin|Tarquin]] 23:38 Jan 15, 2003 (UTC)

::An individual or group who believes they have the right to investigate, assume, and assert the identity of parties who choose to be anonymous or pseudonymous.  Widely derided in legal and journalistic and gay circles, where 'don't ask don't tell' is the rule.  Probably should be an article on this.

-----

Those condemations were mostly from Ericd and Zoe. If you look at the articles to which I have contributed and the related talk pages, you1d see that the vast majority of these crticicisms have been discounted by other users who were more informed about the topics of those articles. You1d also see that the vast majority of all my contributins have survived dozens of revisions by some highly intelligent, expert contributors. 

If those charges were anyting but baseless slander, why would the vast majority of my contributions remain intact, in spite of the fact that I stopped paying attention to most of those 3controversial articles2 weeks ago?

:Certainly,  that should be the ONLY consideration in an IP ban.  But it isn't.  Wales and his gang (there is no other word, and keep in mind that contributing to wikipedia as a database and pleasing Wales as a little tin god sysop of his 'web site', wikipedia.com, aren't the same thing) have their own absolutely unchangeable [[w:groupthink]], see the many debates on [[neutral point of view]] (and its inherent bias).

:In the [[History of Wikipedia]] you can find instances of others banned for political views and for insisting that the wikipedia follow its own rules even when those views differ from the cabal or gang or 'militia'.  Also those banned for "one sentence".  The process has no integrity,  it isn't fair, and you won't get a hearing.  You are best off ignoring that process of 'answering for your crimes', subverting it, and identifying the enemies who are wasting your time by pursuing it.


:Bad advice. May I call you 24? If any member of the community is disruptive - no matter how good their other contributions - they are working against the community and they should go if they don't change. Editing Wikipedia is not a right - it is a privilege. --mav 
----
Thank you for the advice. I¹m not worried about those charges of political bias anyway. I¹ve been accused of every extreme of bias. That¹s what I get for trying to balance biased articles, regardless of the bias. When you¹re accused of every form of bias, you know that you¹re doing something right. -172

::That's exactly right.  No question about it.  That's the best test:  if you are accussed of every form of bias, you know that you're doing something right.
   
:Even better advice would be to simply say that you will try to change and then prove your accusers wrong by no longer being disruptive. --mav

:: This is absolute nonsense, that proves Mav knows nothing about [[w:groupthink]], and can't spot it even when he's the one primarily doing it.

:::I know what groupthink is. My words above do not prove anything other than my own view. Lord knows I disagree with the group on many occasions - I do not just quietly disagree. --mav
-----
And What about anti-Chinese forces ?
[[User:Ericd|Ericd]]

I have probably contributed tens of thousands of words of text. I1ll be the first to admit that it wasn1t always perfect. More than a single sentence though is needed to discount that work.
