Chinese language
I noticed that you added Malaysia to the list of countries where Chinese is an official language (and you also made the same modification to the Chinese edition of this entry). Do you have a source for that? To the best of my knowledge, Malay is Malaysia's one and only official language. --Broccoli 07:34, 4 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually I got that from Malaysia's article on Wikipedia. I'm not sure. If it's wrong, they are wrong all together. --Chochopk 07:57, 4 January 2006 (UTC)


 * The current revision of Malaysia lists only Malay as the official language. Previously it also had English, Chinese and Tamil, all of which are official in Singapore, not Malaysia.  There is also a heated debate going on about this on the talk page.  I think one of the contributors is mistaken about the meaning of official language.  --Broccoli 05:37, 5 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Since Chinese is not the official language of Malaysia, I removed Malaysia from "official language in" list in the article of "Chinese language". Same is on the article of "Chinese language" of Chinese Wikipedia. It was me who added it in those 2 places in the first place. I apologize. I did so merely because I saw Chinese language under the list of official language in the Malaysia article without questioning. --Chochopk 06:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Time zone...
Hi, do you have your time zone map on PSD, or other format that we can modify easily (to translation) ? see french wikipedian graphists page: fr:Wikipédia:Atelier graphique/Images à améliorer, still young but active.

thx As a courtesy for other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your comments and your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info read Talk page guidelines. Thank you.


 * Of course, I can share the file in PSD. I just need to compress it and it's huge. I'm at work now, so I'll do it later. --Chochopk 22:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, have you managed to compress the file? Many of us would really appreciate it, if you could upload the PSD. Thanks, Xgregx 08:21, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Is it the same as uploading image files of other types? The PSD is quite large, of course. Would wikipedia accept such a large file? --Chochopk 16:26, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Could you send me the source to xgregx@email.si. I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Xgregx 12:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

conditional statements in templates
Working with the succession templates, I figured out how to do conditional statements. You can read all about them here or look at n-start which has links to the other templates I created (and most of the description of how to use them) which use quite a few simple conditional statements. I think the benefit to the user is obvious (much less specialized knowledge of the templates needed), but they also keep everything in the same order, even if the editor mixes it up. Not to mention the fact that had you realized before you created all of the templates, it would've been a lot less work for you :( Ingrid 04:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Conditional template
Unfortunately, I don't know. What I'd try is either use the one-line version of the table row (which I can't find an example of), or you could try html syntax for the table, which would be ugly, but not ambiguous. But actually, maybe it would still be ambiguous because you can use some html and some wiki... You could try asking at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Table.

surprised no one's given you one yet



 * Thank you! --Chochopk 02:26, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

succession box page move
I thought it would be a good idea to move the succession box work to its own page, and archive some of our old discussions. Rather than discussing this with you, which would've been the polite thing to do, I went ahead and moved it (sorry). If you think it's a bad idea, let me know, and I'll move it back.

Image copyright problem with Image:MongoliaP69-10000Tugrik-2002_a.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MongoliaP69-10000Tugrik-2002_a.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use.

 * You're right. The mistake is mine. You can go ahead and delete it, and any reference to it. --Chochopk 04:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

New currency stubs
Mostly, just put them in the time-period category (probably always Category:Modern obsolete currencies, maybe Category:Circulating currencies), and the location category (Category:Currencies of Europe, Category:Currencies of Asia and the Pacific, etc. Some countries have their own subcategory of the continent categories.) As far as the banknote tables, I haven't kept track of where, but I've seen several that use the color of the note as the background for the row in the table. Whoever has been doing that has obviously spent some time on it, and might like to talk to you about the new style. With the recategorizing, I've looked at so many currency pages that I can't find it easily. I'll check around and let you know if I find it. Ingrid 14:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I found one at Iraqi dinar, added by an anonymous user who didn't do any of the others. This actually reminds me of another reason I prefer templates to tables. You can look up which currencies already use a template, but you can't do that with a table. Not that it's that important to me, I just thought I'd mention it. I know I've seen more, but can't find them. Ingrid 23:01, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Re:Macanese pataca table
That's a good idea. I'll see what I can come up with...I'll have to look for the more technical information. Alr 00:04, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Liechtenstein frank
I was wondering about the Liechtenstein frank. I have an updated version of the book you sourced, but it didn't mention coins after the 70s. Were newer coins mentioned in the book you used? Also is the currency legal tender or is it only printed in commemorative sets? Thanks. – Zntrip 05:31, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Yuan
I noticed the updates in my watchlist, thanks for the heads up and additional information. In the rail events pages I was using the same terms as in the source articles as I still personally know very little about the region. Slambo (Speak) 16:37, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Time Map
Thanks for your message on my talkpage. I support peace and i love your map. I start learning chinese after i discover I Ching few years ago ... Feel free to contact me if you visit France again. I second the barnstar for your nice work ;-) --Neuromancien 12:53, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

2 questions
I have a friend in mainland China who is repeatedly unable to open the wikipedia links i send.do you have any advice or explanations for lack of access? I am currently designing my talk page and I have noticed that no user I have seen so far includes personal contact information such as anything or ICQ addresses. I have looked on the guidelines and I cannot see that it is specifically against the rules, have I missed something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rezondeck (talk • contribs) 02:32, 25 March 2006

thank you for your response
I found the appropriate personal information outlet within the user boxes Wikipedia actually has an interesting history of blockages in China I was aware of censorship on the mainland but not how it applies to Wikipedia specifically http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_Wikipedia_in_mainland_China —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rezondeck (talk • contribs) 05:14, 25 March 2006

WikiProject:Numismatics
Hello, you left me a message on my Talk page. Yes, certainly I would like to help but I do not know where to start especially since the project has started some time ago? I understand you want to standardize the layout of the contents of each currency page? Please update me. I am quite new here but I'd certainly would like to help fellow numismaticians as much as I can. Sarangburung 06:29, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

TRY Changes
--Q43 13:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Currencies are dynamic and further exchange rate changes for the TRY are possible. Using an approximate date for a significant change that took several days to occur and including the approximate percentage of this change is more appropriate rather than trying to track the changes day by day. Today, 6 June 2006, the TRY has gained a bit.
 * Also, there was no reason to include webpages for exchange rates to many currencies. Once one of the exchange rate webpages is tried by one, one will see that by altering input information one can get rates for as many currencies as one desires. Note that the rate webpage sometimes offers a graph of day to day changes.
 * Links to www.xe.com/ucc seemed redundant to me, but if you reintroduce them, I won't object!

I'm sorry, but i DIDN'T vandalize the Japanese Yen page
I was simply changing the exchange rate on Japanese Yen to USA Dollars based on the exchange I made on June 9th, 2006. I bought 1000 Yen for 9.79 Dollars. The exchange rate was 'as of June 5th'.

Reichmark conversion
Can we wrestle about it. Or maybe a race arround India? Enlil Ninlil 09:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Plural of dinar is not dinara
Could you please revert all of your changes from dinars to dinara? As I already explained here, "dinara" is not sole plural of dinar and should not be used. Thanks. --Dijxtra 11:34, 25 June 2006 (UTC)


 * OK. It is the consensus of the WikiProject Numismatics to use local form of the currency unit. You can see that in the article Polish złoty. I will revert the change for dinar if the context is Yugoslavia before the 1991 break up. I will leave the dinara if the context is after 1991, related to Nedić's Serbia, or before Yugoslavia was formed. And I won't change things like "10 dinar banknote" as it is the correct English grammar. Unfortunately, I would have to do it tomorrow. If you can't wait, I'd tell you that I did it from "What's links here" of Yugoslav dinar and Serbian dinar. But I'll do that the first thing when I'm available. --Chochopk 11:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)


 * No need to hurry. Do as you said when you have time. --Dijxtra 12:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

currency
thanks for the barnstar! there are still many other images in commons:category:Bills and commons:category:coins but I thought I would get started on them. I also think the pages should probably be broken into smaller galleries --Astrokey 44 05:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
