I went to the talk page of both the main wikichina project and assessment pages and I didn't see your comments. What exactly would you like to know about the sources? (Ghostexorcist 22:34, 11 May 2007 (UTC))


 * I left a reply on on the comments page. (Ghostexorcist 18:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC))


 * I have made some changes and additions to the article. I would rather someone else nominate it for A-class since I am the sole person who initiated and built up the article. (Ghostexorcist 13:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC))

I read your comment about some of the page needing a rewrite. Which areas where you referring to? I plan on making some changes to the references and taking out some of the info that stays on the subject of his students for too long. Also, one editor suggested that I get rid of the Chinese format . This formatting was originally done by a very active member of wikiproject China. As I expanded the page, I just continued the trend. I figure the person knew what they were doing. The original person who reviewed my article for FA didn't seem to have a problem with it.(Ghostexorcist 02:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC))

South Tibet issue
In fact,I can find numerous sources to support my edits,and some of the sections which were deleted by other two users can be found in the Arunachal Pradesh article.IMHO,they seemed not happy to see somethings appeared which favours the chinese claim of South Tibet.Furthermore,some sources are in chinese,and the two guys raise some silly questions to seal my mouth such as Zangnan is not South Tibet,and my english is poor so some sections which I had edited should be deleted.And for now,I had not much time to cope with these kind of persons,cause from the first creations of South Tibet,numbers of editors either wanted to delete it or want to merge it.I am a litte tired of fighting alone.--Ksyrie 21:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Paifu
I saw that you failed the article for good article status. I cleaned a lot of the article's pointless plot information and removed three out of six uneeded images. Is that... okay? You said on the talk page that it should have 1-2 at the most; I did read WP:IMAGE. Still, is three still one too many? About the character's popularity and design, I'm not even sure how well-known he is in the U.S. In Japan, I am sure his popularity is most heard of. What to do in order to reference this part of the character? Lord Sesshomaru
 * What else did you want to see for Paifu to be crowned a good article? More sources from the Internet? I can tell you now that it may only get as good as Belzi's. Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru

Question
When I have an image on Wikipedia that is already present on Commons, but perhaps under a different filename and uploaded by someone else, can I just put the tag Image:Whatever.jpg on it? Do I need to copy the revision history of the Wikipedia file in some way, even if the image is not GFDL licensed? I'm trying really hard not to make a mistake here.--Danaman5 05:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If the file is in the public domain, history is not crucial but is still helpful. I found the following on Category:Images on Wikimedia Commons which you may find useful.

"Please always include the complete image caption and author, uploader and upload date to en wiki ! This is particular true for images under a GFDL or CC-BY license. In the case of and licenses, the uploader and upload history is not crucial."


 * Otherwise, yes, tagging it with that template is fine. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! --Nick—Contact/Contribs 05:40, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Followup questions
As far as I know, the images need to be exactly identical copies in order to be tagged with that template. So if they are different sizes and/or file types, they cannot be tagged in that way. If you'd like to move the version that we currently have on Wikipedia to Commons, you could try the CommonsHelper tool. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 06:17, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Irina Mikitenko translation
Good job - only a few corrections needed.

Info:

Vorlauf = heat (race before finals)

Dauerkonkurrentin = long-time rival (f.)

Running races are generally referred to by distance alone e.g. 'the 5,000 metres' - run afterwards isn't needed.

anus eel
I declined the speedy, as I did not see a previous AfD discussion. (and eels do actually live that way, so it might be plausible). Please dont revert the decision of another administrator without at leastan explanation. better, a discussion. DGG (talk) 22:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * no problem. If the change was just capitalization, it would in fact be a recreation if the article was the same. But it's a little dubious about using G4 after a speedy because the speedy might or might not have been a good one & the article might or might not be different. --in fact this one was not a good one, because it was deleted as a hoax & hoaxes cannot be speedied- (unless they actually are total nonsense under A3) -the idea is that it might be a good idea if people have a chance to see--about 10% of the articles labeled as hoaxes turn out to be real, & that can be very embarrassing. But I checked the actual article & looked for some references. Eels do not live that way--it's Hagfish that do, and its commonly confused. So we might as well leave it deleted. I left a hint for the author which might stop further re-creation. DGG (talk) 23:10, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Unblock review of Kjoonlee
Hi. I believe you are in error on your declined unblock of. WP:3RR gives removal of vandalism and spam as a permitted exception. All of his reverts were to remove what is ostensibly an advertisement for a non-notable mod of a game, but I don't believe it even exists because "Zuma Special Edition" gets zero g-hits. If you take a look at Special:DeletedContributions/Helodriver, the images the other user was adding into the article were all flagrant photoshops. If you read the text the other user was adding, he talks in less than glowing terms about a character named "Daniels". It seems rather obvious that this so-called mod is just a prank that someone is playing on their friend, not a real mod that actually exists. So Kjoonlee's removal of this text is covered by the vandalism exception to 3RR. I was about to unblock the user and change the other user's block to an indef block of a vandalism-only account when I saw your reply. Since you have already declined it, I will defer to you, but I strongly suggest that an unblock is in order. --B (talk) 07:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Lisu people
Would you be interested in looking at this article about the Lisu people of Yunnan? There is some disagreement as to whether to include information about the impact of Christianity among this group. Their alphabet (Fraser alphabet) was created by a notable missionary, James O. Fraser), however this has been repeatedly removed. It appears to me to be censorship, but if you would take time to review the history of this article, it would be helpful. Thanks.Brian0324 (talk) 21:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Minor edits using AWB
Just a request: Could you refrain from deleting spaces before stub tags, as you did to Chinese Martyrs? The rules say: And the guideline recommends:
 * Avoid making insignificant or inconsequential edits such as only adding or removing some white space, moving a stub tag, converting some HTML to Unicode, removing underscores from links (unless they are bad links), or something equally trivial. This is because it wastes resources and clogs up watch lists.
 * It is usually desirable to leave two blank lines between the first stub template and whatever precedes it.

Thanks. --Bwpach (talk) 13:54, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Mojtaba Pourmohsen
I disagree with your decision to decline deleting this article, so i've put it up for prod instead. Although this person may be notable in Iran, should it be on the English wikipedia? In my country there are writers and journalists that are notable but are not on this wiki, because in the English realm they are not notable. Plus the article is in poor shape, and it looks like it was written by the subject itself. Living persons bios need more than just local notability. The reference given is an interview with several people, among which Pourmohsen gets a couple of sentences, not everyone featured in an interview should be in an encyclopedia. Also look at his written work, 3 translations and 2 poem collections, is that notable enough for WP? I understand why you declined it, but i can't agree (this time.) Regards, Shoombooly (talk) 09:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Since you replied at my page i will reply here (its on my watchlist anyway): I know the English bias should go away, but even then notability is questionable. Also, there's a Farsi wikipedia, judging from your screen name you might be Iranian, is there a Pourmohsen article on the fa.wikipedia.org? If not, it seems odd there's one in english, right? If there is a farsi version, perhaps you could add it to the page to make it that little more noteworthy. I mean, if the Iranians haven't got an entry on him, why should the english? I hope you get my point, i don't dislike the poet himself, i just think there's a line for encyclopic articles and this one doesn't cross it (yet). From Bio: "Creative professionals: Scientists, academics, economists, professors, authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, engineers, and other creative professionals:

I don not think mr. Pourmohsen fits in any of these criteria. Let me know what you think, i'm still learning to handle the criteria. I patrol orphaned articles and propose deletion of a number of them, so the more i learn to handle the criteria, the better. Regards, Shoombooly (talk) 09:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks a lot! I'm really not familiar with the categorization system. They pushed me to do that. I'd rather keep creating stub articles. Once we've done 17th committee, we may go back to complete past ones. There's a lot we could do. It's a shame that Chinese Wiki doesn't seem much better in term of completeness. Sometimes we have to do the google search. Cheers! Ramtears (talk) 17:31, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I may have some concern about your newly edited Liu Xiaojiang. The terms large military region or small military region may not be very accurate. It's true that the other two are from provincial military regions. They're elected probably because Xinjiang and Tibet are critical areas. But Liu Xiaojiang is from Navy. First, Navy is not a small military region. It's nationwide. Second, the rank of Navy is at least equivalent to those seven major military regions. Actually, Navy may be somehow higher than large military region because the commander of Navy usually is a member of central military commission, while the head of military region is not. But the positions are interconnected. For example, the commander of East Sea Fleet of Navy is usually the vice commander of Nanjing Military Region. Thus, the commander of Navy is roughly equivalent to the commander of military regions.


 * According to original Chinese sources, those two terms should just mean position(ranking) of large military region and vice position(ranking) of large military region. So you may want to find more appropriate terms to describe them. Regards. Ramtears (talk) 18:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't worry. We have plenty of time. Our project could carry on for years, and I know it's gonna be something meaningful. It's a pleasure to work with you. BTW, thanks for instructions on stub tags. Ramtears (talk) 14:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
