Very appreciated - as a member of the Welcoming Committee I know that these aren't just random bot-generated messages - people actually take their time to help welcome you. But funnily enough, Wikipedia actually lists me as registering on November 10, 2005 instead of January 2006. –- kungming·2 | ^{(Talk·Contact)} 02:31, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Malaysian

Thanks for the hello. I'm glad to see another Malaysian here too. __earth ^(Talk) 03:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Google template

Yeah, Template:Google Inc. just has too much information and is too cluttered. Yours is a zillion times better. I was going to replace them all last night, but didn't have time. Thanks! Dr. Cash 16:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Hsuan Hua

Sorry for the delay on this. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything other than the citation that Hsuan Hua needs; I'll let you know if I come up with anything else. For a citation, a book citation would probably be better than a web cite. Ideally, it should be from a book written by a historian, not someone associated with Hsuan Hua. - Nat Krause^(Talk!) 01:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

English versus American English...

Please don't edit pages just to change from English to American English; there have previously been edit wars and arbitration committee involvement over this. I've reverted your edit, seeing as it didn't add anything else to the article in question, Crap. --Sam Pointon United FC 20:13, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

English - quite possibly the most complicated language on Earth. Problem fixed. People really are quite rude sometimes. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 07:56, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Please don't take it personally. I don't think anyone said anything about this that was intended to be mean. It's just that Wikipedians are often a bit brusque because they have a lot to deal with. - Nat Krause^(Talk!) 19:54, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 17:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Hsi Lai

You should consider what you put online, especially sentences that will bring bad consequences. I'm refering to the page where you stubbornly put down the comparison of Hsi Lai temple and the City of Ten Thousand Buddha. Buddhism has not taught a deciple to be like you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.95.43.222 (talk • contribs) .

I will leave some comments related to this on Talk:Hsi Lai. - Nat Krause^(Talk!) 19:54, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

The problem has been resolved. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 05:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you'd want to defend the "largest" status of the City of Ten Thousand Buddha. As far as I know, the founder will not want to stress it even if it is true, especially in this particular situation where it's being compared with another Buddhist temple. The article will give an impression that the supporters of that temple think otherwise. Maybe you're the supporter of either temple, or merely want to stress the fact from a non-biased viewpoint. But please think of what impression that will leave to the world, especially to those non-Buddhists?

Another problem which has been resolved through compromise- I think the preceding IPs are from Hsi Lai Temple. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 01:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, no can do

Man, I can't belive Google went and changed it back like that after the name change had been around for a while now. Anyway, sorry, I hate to say this, but I can't edit it either. I'm not an admin now nor was I when I made those changes, the thing is that back then the template wasn't protected. So if you know someone who is an admin, ask them to do it instead.-Jeff ^(talk) 14:06, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

OMG!

You got CTY LMU 2005 pics! I can't find them anywhere! When I look, it is always from Carlisle or Lancaster. What session did you go to? Do you have Session 2 pics?

email me! sdirrim@gmail.com

Um...these are session one pics and bring your own camera if you want them. (Rather not leave my name for security reasons) Typer525 ^Contact 21:41, 10 May 2006 (UTC) (Session 1 Game theory)

Colleen Fitzpatrick

If I removed something I thought it was improper or a worthless fact, isnt that what you do in wikipedia, edit to make things better? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.155.93.78 (talk • contribs)

Issue resolved - I have written a reply regarding the aforesaid article. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 17:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Buddhism in the United States

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm not sure what to do about it, though. On the one hand, he deleted some information that was unsourced and that I know very little about to begin with—I really don't know whether it was important enough to be in the article or not. So, I am inclined not to do anything about it. However, the fact that he deleted things from the talk page implies an ideological axe-to-grind, and it doesn't seem good to let that stand. I guess I'll wait and see what happens next before deciding what to do. - Nat Krause^(Talk!) 03:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
