Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

January 2013[edit]

Hello LiShihKai, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. I've deleted your text as we assume copyright exists and you say you were copying from the net. I did find the original of your first quotation, so people can see it there. Sorry, but we don't allow copyvio anywhere. Dougweller (talk) 21:43, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Didn't realize the copyright violation of Wiki. Won't happen again. Thanks for letting me know. LiShihKai (talk) 21:36, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments on the Mark Antony talk page[edit]

Please don't take this the wrong way, LiShihKai, but I object to your most recent post on the Mark Antony talk page. This is the fourth time you've posted on the topic, and three of those posts come across as personal attacks against another editor. Two of the posts accused the editor of hypocrisy, and two call her condescending, with the last adding a completely inappropriate and sexist remark.

On each occasion, the topic was essentially dead, and there was no further discussion of the original subject matter; the first of these three posts was directed at an editor who hadn't even mentioned you or anything you said specifically, ten days after her reply, when there was nothing further to say and nothing to be gained by saying it. When she replied to this belated accusation of hypocrisy, you then waited two weeks before accusing her a second time and adding the charge of being condescending. Now, nearly four weeks after she made what I consider a very conciliatory post in hopes of burying the hatchet, you're coming back with more of the same, with the implication that all a woman editor needs to improve her attitude is some sex.

Frankly I find this kind of serial attack insulting and beyond the pale of what any serious Wikipedian should face. Considering that you haven't contributed to a single article in Wikipedia, didn't engage in any discussion of the topic on the Mark Antony talk page before or after the attacks began, other than copying and pasting someone else's work and a long piece of completely spurious research, and that the editor you've been attacking repeatedly never directed a comment at you until after you began attacking her, I can't imagine why you would be engaging in such a series of personal insults and criticisms.

However, my purpose here is not to insult you, but to appeal to your sense of decency to stop pursuing what appears to be a purely personal vendetta against someone who's done nothing to earn your scorn and disapproval. I'm sure you can find some more productive way of contributing to Wikipedia. P Aculeius (talk) 00:10, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments earlier this year about Infernal Affairs/Departed[edit]

Last year you had made some comments on comparing The Departed and the film Infernal Affairs, and are one of the few persons who have actually studied both films.

From your edits for the film Infernal Affairs there is presently a poll taking place on The Departed film Talk page regarding whether you believe a separate subsection should be included for (a) Infernal Affairs as a source for the plot of The Departed film, and/or (b) a second subsection for the recently captured crime figure Whitey Bulger as the source for the character played by Jack Nicholson in the film.

The recent capture of Bulger has revived the question from two years ago of Infernal Affairs from when it did have a separate subsection on The Departed film page. Invite to visit The Departed Talk page, to the Bulger section at the end of the Page, to participate in the opinion count currently taking place. 208.120.96.227 (talk) 21:48, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
