Soju

Hello, Cypoet. Re your edits at Shōchū. We are only editors here, not authorities. We don't change sourced material to what we "know" to be true without providing a source to back that up. Please provide sources for your edits and changes. You might want to read Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 21:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

@Dekkappai: the source that was previously given is hardly "trustable" being from a webpage with little authority on the history of korea. The source is changed to http://www.tomcoyner.com/moving_beyond_the_green_blur.htm which outlines an article written in a korean newspaper about the origin of soju. This seems more suited. Again, the korean soju does not originate from China, but from Mongolia which gathered the distillation technique from Persia. Some North Koreans today and especially the Jurchens/Manchus in the past call soju by its persian name origin (Aral or Arak-ju) clearly showing the migration path, which is also backed by archeological data and korean history books. --Cypoet (talk) 13:28, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think the original source was reliable in regards to Korea either, and I did not mean to question the Persian origins at all. But we do not simply remove a sourced fact (unreliable though it may be) with unsupported claims. (Wikipedia:Attribution explains why.) Also your original edit (replacing China with Persia while leaving the source citation) made it appear as if the original, unreliable source mentioned Persia, which it did not. Anyway, I'm glad you found a good source backing up the Persian origins (I was prepared to dig through some books at the library today to do that if you didn't). I hope you find editing here at Wikipedia as interesting an rewarding as I have, and hope you continue finding good sources for your edits. Happy editing!

Thanks, I am still learning the ropes of the system and your input is appreciated. --Cypoet (talk) 21:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

soy milk

There is currently a RfC under progress on the disputes in the soy milk article. I thought you might be interested. Cydevil38 (talk) 00:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that Mythsearcher is having trouble comprehending the material. Can you please intervene on the ongoing discussion and simply tell us your opinion on whose interpretation is the right one? Cydevil38 (talk) 21:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edit to Gangnam Style

I reverted you're edit because you change a citation's stats, which is almost always unintended, especially if OR is probable. If you have any questions, please contact me on my Talkpage.
