Hi, welcome to wikipedia. Do you edit the japanese version as well? user_talk:hfastedge

My comment about judges and precedents has gone into several places so I do not know why you think that the author will never see that. I put it in the article about case law and the article about stare decisis. These articles seem to be written by people who have never dealt with courts but have read about them in law school or college text books. This is not very NPOV! Alex756

We are not arguing that China is a "communist" (lower-case "c") society in the Marxist sense, that is a state where the means of production are under common ownership. Whether or not China is a "socialist" society in Marxian terms, defined by state ownership of the means of production, is further irrelevant to this debate. In this context, the term "Communist state" (upper-case "C") strictly refers to the type of government in the same sense that "constitutional monarchy" describes the governments of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, that "federal republic" describes the government-types of the United States and Brazil, that "Islamic republic" describes the government-type of Iran, that "military government" describes the government of Myanmar, and finally that "absolute monarchy" would describe the government of Oman. The government is Communist, ruled by a Marxist-Leninist party.

Divergences between the development levels, levels of state ownership, and economic structures between the five Communist states of China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, and North Korea or whether or not China is "capitalist" and has betrayed its Marxist-Leninist philosphy thus don't matter to this discussion (I personally think that they haven't and that they've finally found a workable model of socialism worth revisiting, but that doesn't matter either). The ruling Communist parties of these countries share roughly the same structure and share similarly intertwined state and party institutions and share roughly the same constitutional forms. They represent a common government-type based on the Leninist state and are bound by having to adapt to similar circumstances, that is (with the exception of Castro's Cuba which wasn't at first definitively Communist) supplanting or revamping existing state institutions to fit the mold of an underground revolutionary political party.

It doesn't matter if Communism is a controversial subject, China, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, and North Korea all share the same government-type just like both the Netherlands and Japan are constitutional monarchies. At certain points in history, the idea of a republic was very controversial as well, but a republic is a republic. We shouldn't let our political obsessions get in the way of recognizing that Japan is a constitutional monarchy and that China is a Communist state. 172

Yes, I go to court every few days. Need anything there? Alex756

I do not understand the problem Jtdirl and 172 perceive with Mr. Bauder's edits. I certainly think the accusation that Mr. Bauder is somehow "vandalizing" the article is extremely inappropriate. I also think it is inappropriate to insinuate that Mr. Bauder is "trying to slip POV material while everybody else sleeps." Shino Baku

Of course you don't understand the problem. Idiot trolls never do. -- Derek Ross

Yes, that was inappropriate as well. Shino Baku

True. All replies to trolls are inappropriate. Thank you for reminding me. -- Derek Ross

(to User:Alex756) Re: your comment on judges following precedent...you are talking to yourself...the author will probably never read that. Shino Baku

Im guessing most of the authors of the text in question have long since left the wikipedia or moved on to other parts of it. None of it seems to have been worked on much recently. Im not referring to the clarifying edit within the text, thats a good edit, im referring to the comment along with the edit where you asked "Have YOU ever been to court?" Shino Baku

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new)| talk)
