1948:) I'm not sure that he's beyond the point of redemption. I was getting a pretty extensive list of Teeninvestor's edits to Great Divergence in my watchlist, but as I don't actually interact there, I am not the one dealing with him on a constant basis. I see a bit of tendentiousness in his edits though, and if he is not indef'ed, then I think a lengthy 3+ month topic ban is certainly in order, to keep him from making edits regarding the productivity of any nation, especially with regard to government economic policies and industrial output, construed very broadly and under pain of indef block). Moreoever, he seems to have an ongoing issue with sources. I think that it would be more than appropriate to institute a long-term (9+ months) sanction on Teeninvestor's use of sources, and require that he quote 2 full paragraphs of source text and present them on the talk page at least 48 hours before incorporating any text into articles. If he would be willing to agree to terms like these, I think he could learn how to overcome the more glaring deficiencies in his current editing style. If there aren't significant sanctions, then I'm not confident that the disruptive behavior will be modified significantly enough to end the 787:
That wargame mindset is something he is not at all interested in. He does it rather to fill in gaps of our knowledge of each empire, namely the Roman. For example, there is a problem with the late Republican population count. So Scheidel takes a look across Asia to see whether the missing figures could be filled in with corresponding Han numbers. Might not turn out correct, but at least worth a try. Scheidel's account is 95-99% reasoning, and 1-5% - very cautious - conclusion. The conclusion, being preliminary, is not so important to him, it is the how to come to the conclusion which is valuable from a scholarly viewpoint. But your 'article' is all about how to let best Roman and Han armies virtually clash and who would prevail in this fantasy scenario. This has nothing to do with Scheidel's intention. It's a perversion of the whole thrust and intent of Scheidel's work, so please stop to refer to him
253:. Yes, I fully agree that the whole part on the historic GDP per capita is too long, but that is only an inevitable result of your edit pattern of making aggrandized claims of Chinese excellence in key parts of articles. In this example, you chose to push the minority view of Pomeranz to prominence in the lead. But instead of recognizing this, and modifying - or removing altogether - the part accordingly, you choose to play the transparent little game of trimming the whole part for 'reason of brevity', deliberately deluting Maddison's et al. majority view along the line "some say these, others say that". Who do you actually believe to fool with such kindergarden moves? As long as you continue to play the cheapest tricks out of Sun Tzu's book, you will sail against adverse winds, that's for sure. 1333:
and the abolition of labor conscription (despite the fact that overwhelming evidence shows that this was done decades earlier under Zhang Juzheng). Any reasonable interpetation would state that the Qing was interventionist (especially when we contrast this with Cambridge history's volume on Ming). If we go through the policies of Mao, and notice that he allowed for a year peasants to farm a tiny private garden, does that justify jumping and going: "Ah Hah! There's no scholarly consensus on whether Mao was a champion of free enterprise or not! You're misrepresenting your sources!"
1726:
position or draw a conclusion is a clear example of synthesis. Teen also demonstrated that he was operating out of a fundamental ignorance of Roman culture — it's no crime not to know something, but it isn't OK to delete sourced material because it doesn't conform to your own preconceptions based on your lack of knowledge. The synthesis policy is frequently abused, and misapplied to editors who are using sources that complement each other. This, however, is a case study of why it exists.
1615:. It has been 30 days since the RfC/U was opened; I'd suggest rather than spending a voluminous amount of time trying to come to a summary that everyone agrees on, it may be wise to move to the next step (if required). If participants want more time to comment though, that's acceptable, but bear in mind that such time may be better spent in doing something that has a greater chance of resolving the dispute (if this step has not managed to resolve the dispute so far). 929:'s analytical strategy in this section. This step-by-step approach helped me to clarify my understanding of the nested problem set. The sentences are demonstrably constructive, helpful, and plain. The paragraphs illustrate effective writing. I would like to see this section's text re-positioned on the main page under the heading "View by certifier Nev1." This will give others the opportunity to join me in endorsing the problem-solving approach and conclusions. -- 1314:
wanted; hardly a case of "source misrepresentation". These accusations are themselves misrepresenations. As any diffs can show, I used multiple, high-quality sources to back up all my assertions, including the Qing theory. Myers and Wang was at best a source I used to outline Qing's policies. I acknowledge that the heavy industries does not fit this case, but i believe in that case Pomeranz did support the given assertion; the question is how much he supports it.
1098:, which seems like a good idea. The one change in the original statemetn was to strike a resolved issue. That way it's clear that while people endorse his original statement, the later material is different. I raised the issue here in the interest of transparency and honesty. I suspect FeydHextable will continue to endorse your summary, but if it was me I would want to be informed of changes to the original statement so I was aware of what I was signing off on. 279:. For example, according to John M. Hobson, another Cambridge scholar, Chinese manufacturing output was 16 times that of Britain in 1750 (and China was ahead even more in agriculture). There are scholars on all sides; some scholars even think that the Ottoman Empire was ahead of the west (a view that I would agree is absurd) in 1800. The majority clearly believe the divergence happened around 1800. If you have so much energy, add the GDP per capita argument to 439:, which had probably half the income per capita of Song? By your theory, Marco Polo should have been writing about the immense poverty of China, since Europe was in "Smithian growth", which had put its GDP per capita way ahead of China? Was Polo blind? Navigation is something special, so can I ask you this: how come all of europe's sailing technology came from China? How come Chinese ships were traveling to East Africa and India by the 2185:
does. Of course, that he's currently on a 3 week block for his innapropriate interactions with other editors (and will probably end up indeffed on the same basis) while he got a free pass on so-called "good faith" edits that degraded content (the ultimate goal here, supposedly) is par for the course. I care far less for name-calling, interaction bans, etc... than what happens to content. But Knowledge writ large does not agree.
1644:
if this is a conduct rather than content issue, then obviously mediation would not be it. As the problem was recurring (and went to ANI previously), and has now resulted in a second block, which is quite lengthy, it removes one of the parties from the dispute - thereby dissolving the dispute at this time. Accordingly, closing 2 applies and that's how I've closed it. Does that make sense?
1280:
consulted that address the subject agree that Qing is much more interventionist than the Ming; Myers and Wang does not address this subject, yet you claim to use them to support your thesis? You also forgot to mention that Myers and Wang explicitly said that Qing intervened numerous times in the market economy and that they "understood the usefulness of monopoly power" (I suspect
894:
criticism of work should not be conflated with a personal attack. The two are very different, and to confuse them makes a collaborative environment very difficult to foster. It breaks down the collaborative principle that Knowledge is based on. Teeninvestor clearly feels passionately about what he writes, and perhaps that is part of the problem.
388:"quite high", but in reality roughly correspond to all other extra-European economies which all hovered somewhat about subsistence level. Only the (Western) European economy enjoyed a substantial qualitative growth, that is increase of GDP per capita. What you have been doing in the last days, and still very much do, is pushing Pomeranz 32:
sources to the table to support his position. While opposition editors seem to be often attacking with hostile rhetoric. Instead of empty criticism, it would be much more constructive if those holding opposing views do their own share of the research, and show a good example by backing up their positions with quality sources.

attempts to distract the issue, I ask you: Do you not admit that there are scholarly sources on this topic, which is also a topic of scholarly interst?. You haven't answered this question, because there are scholarly sources on this notable topic, which you have failed to acknowledge, either because of ignorance or bias.
1643:
Actually, closing 1 would have been the case because it's been 30 days so it's closed as if it's closed due to inactivity. After it's closed like that, should a party find problems continuing, they can escalate to AN/ANI, arbitration, or the next appropriate step to deal with the issue, but note that
1332:
You ignore their numerous and repeated statements that Qing intervened into the economy frequently and often installed monopolies (understanding the "advantages" of monopoly power) and instead focus on a few very vague statements about reducing the tax burden (from when? The war era or the Late Ming)

Papers which you did not even bother to consult for this 'article' for one full year, and, frankly, don't quite seem to understand. When Scheidel endeavours to compare certain aspects of both empires, he does not do it for establishing a who is better, greater and more advanced of the two as you did.
760:
Teeinvestor. I replied more fully here. In a nutshell, you did not refer to Scheidel in your 'article' and you do not seem to understand what Scheidel is actually doing in his work. What he does, is trying to fill in gaps in our knowledge of mainly ancient Rome by taking a look at developments in Han

So far, Teeninvestor has not responded to the diffs where he makes unfair accusations of personal attacks or misinformative edit summaries. It has also been demonstrated that there's a persistent problem with edit warring and so far Teeninvestor has not commented on his own behaviour; you can't blame
1313:
Your accusation of misrepresntation of sources can only stand up if Myers and Wang was the only source I was using, which is patently not the case. In fact, multiple sources were used to back up the assertion, and you've only checked one source that was used marginally and which did not say what you
1259:
Yes, these infelicities were later cleaned up, but only because other editors went to the considerable effort of painstakingly checking your cited sources. Whenever such problems are pointed out, your customary response is to say your claims are supported by multiple other sources, and to add a few

In the grand sweep of more than three thousand years of Chinese history, the period from roughly 1680 to 1780 has been celebrated as a prosperous age. From other perspectives, the period has been disparaged as a time when China's people were held down and held back by autocratic foreign rulers. Such

I believe this RFC/U is anyway pretty much in flux and there is a lot of additional material now – Athenean's outside view keeps best track of it – which some of the original endorsements did not take account of. This is very different to the only other RFC/U I took part in which was a pretty static

Well, I can't say much. It does seem that Nev1 is partially correct on this issue. I would like to say, however, that when I referred to GPM and Pmanderson's attacks, I was referring to much earlier incidents of interaction with these editors, which were not exactly in the positive vein, though that

I looked at cites Maddison, but far from contradicting Teeninvestor it seems to support him! "Angus Maddison, the historian, wrote that for hundreds of years prior to the 19th century China was the world’s largest economy. In 1820, it accounted for 32 per cent of global GDP, compared with Europe’s

And that's the gross problem with his editorial behavior: He is cherry-picking sources according to his China-POV, and in case of disagreement with other editors, instead of providing balanced views, he embarks on a policy of systematically removing POV tags.

It is worth noting that while Gun Powder Ma and Pmanderson have made cutting marks towards Teeninvestor, they were after he accused them of making personal attacks. Making such accusations is going to rub someone up the wrong way, and in these two cases proved to be a self-fulfilling prophesy. This

Agreed. Kanguole is very fair to present the basis for Teeninvestor's questioning of the figure; I regard this as reasonable grounds for doubt to be expressed on the talk page, but not to change the figure in the article. Teen's attempt to apply this reasoning to the article in order to advance a

There's no point in rehashing the whole content dispute here. As for the sources, we appear to be talking about two different things. I was talking about citations in the text. As the above diffs show, in each case the text had a single citation; in each case it remained that way until another

This is unfortunately a pattern of behaviour, and the most recent example I am aware of is from 8 July (the accusation of Kanguole). The above section also leads me to believe that Teenivnestor is oblivious to the problem. My hope is that by laying out the quotes above and asking him to pick the

I've given you half a dozen recent, peer-reviewed and widely cited references stating that the so-called Great Divergence already began around the Renaissance. Yet you still continue to reproduce only Pomeranz' view in all of Knowledge. Maddison's estimates for 15th to 18th century China are not

Nev1, I don't think any reasonable scholar will doubt the figures I have put in. Maddison has the lowest estimates for China and yet as you can see above even his figures are quite high. If we take into account Pomeranz's figures and common sense (if GPM is correct, Marco Polo should be decrying

Tenmei, I don't believe it is necessary to speculate on Teenvestor's thinking. The point is that that his responses on ANI cited by Haploidavey and myself show him either unable or unwilling to relate to basic editing principles—it doesn't matter which, but it does vitiate any promises for the

In each case I have quoted the work you were citing for your words at the time, as anyone can verify from the diffs I have given. You accuse me of misrepresentation, which is only fair I suppose, but do you have any evidence for that claim? By the way, when you put something in quotes, like
