DRN organisers

Hello. I am just letting you know that I've made a proposal to create a rotating DRN organiser-style role that would help with the day-to-day running of DRN. As you are a listed volunteer at DRN, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this, and the other open proposals at DRN. You can read more about it here. Thanks!

Gwiyomi

Maybe you can explain to MarkusGuni why the etymology information in Gwiyomi needs sources. They haven't used their account to edit since coming off the 3RR block except to blank their talk page. They have never discussed it despite multiple attempts. Now they are using an IPs to reinsert the information and remove the citation needed tags. The only communication is for them to call edits vandalism and to tell people they need to learn Korean before they can ask for citations. GB fan 23:31, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

HI GB fan, thanks for your message. If the user is continuing to add unsourced information without discussing, I think it is fair to say that they are being disruptive. At this point, it may be worth semi-protecting the article to prevent disruption. Ideally, I'd like to avoid having to do this: perhaps you could post one more message on the article's talk page and the talk page of the last IP used, explaining why reliable sources are needed and offering to help them if they're willing to provide such sources. It might be helpful to explain exactly why we need reliable sources in this instance, rather than just quoting policy at them. If that fails, I'd then be happy to semi-protect the page.

thanks

For leaving a friendly message for one of my students at User_talk:Dhtpgus90#Your_article. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:21, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

I didn't know about that point thanks :) I am wondering that if I write some text and reference on my article, is this okay to make the article? Dhtpgus90 (talk) 04:26, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
