Inactive for a while
I have been away from Wikipedia for a while to deal with some other important things of life. I will contribute even less after I move to mainland China, where Wikipedia is under censorship from time to time. Sorry that I may not answer your posts or take wiki-actions in time.

Answers to some personal questions:
 * Surely everyone is welcome to be my wikifriend.
 * I was brought up in Hong Kong. As of today, I am living in the San Gabriel Valley.
 * I was once the moderator of news://news.3home.net/3talk.christianity under the same real name "Felix Wan".

Chinese authors on Project Gutenberg and Wikipedia
I'm looking for some help with improving the author headings for Chinese authors in the Project Gutenberg online catalog and strengthening links between Project Gutenberg and Wikipedia for those authors.

I've asked you (as well as a couple of others) based on what I've read on your user page.

If you are interested, I've put together further details and a list of names at User_talk:Andrew_Sly/Chinese_authors.

Thanks, Andrew Sly 00:49, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

---

Thank you very much for your help. As you might have noticed, I've been working with the material you've added, and hope to end up with more accurate, helpful cataloging...

Adding a link to Chinese wikipedia
Someone has very kindly translated the Project Gutenberg article into Chinese at http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/古腾堡工程

I would like to add an external link to that page that says something like "Chinese texts from Project Gutenberg".

Is this accurate:
 * 中國文本從 Project Gutenberg.

 * I have added the link. -- Felix Wan 02:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject: countering systemic bias
Hi Felix Wan, I wonder if you might be able to help - I'm writing an article for openDemocracy about the Wikiproject:countering systemic bias. I'd like to get some quotes from Wikipedians about why they're involved, what they're working on and some other general issues. I wonder if you'd be willing to talk to me over email?

Thanks,

David

Chinese naming conventions
I just made a new proposal on NPOV treatment of the different Chinese languages/dialects on the Chinese naming conventions. Please take a look and comment if you will. Thanks.--Yuje 19:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Vorlin
Hi,

I think you are the author of the deleted article about Vorlin, before its deletion I kept it in Wikia. Today I've searched Vorlin in Wikipedia by Google and I could find your page, and I thougt I must communicate my heroical action ;).

Nevertheless I discovered the page Fasile, why anybody can delete Vorlin, but Fasile doesn't?. I don't want to delete Fasile, but why we must maitain Lutescan language or Fasile and must erase Vorlin.

Sincerly,

Sorry for my poor English Pasqual (ca) · CUT  20:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Chinese translation
Hey mate, I was wondering whether you could translate "Do not speak English? Click here." into Chinese for me. I have my own welcome template that I use to welcome new users, and I'd like to have this phrase on them in the five official languages of the UN, as they are the Earth's predominant languages. I am not sure whether to use simplified or traditional, I am leaning towards simplified simply because of the number of editors from the PRC but I'll let you make the call. So if you could, drop me a line with the translation, if you can't, no biggie either. Thanks! +Hexagon1 (t) 05:12, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Ensemble does not meet notability criteria, per WP:MUSIC.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 23:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Important request to translate article from eng-chin
Hello there, There is a very important article that is in English but not in Chinese. It's called Barefoot lawyers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barefoot_lawyer. They are self-taught people who help protect the rights of citizens in China. This would be a very important article for chinese people to read in their native language not in one there not familiar with. Would you consider helping out to translate the article. I am also asking 8 other translators with near native english and native chinese to help out. So if you all agree you would have 8 helpers. What do you think?

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Thanking you with warm regards Mahitgar (talk) 05:20, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Translation help
Since you were kind/foolish enough to have your name on this list, here's a note that I could use some help with the mess of Mazu temples in Shanghai. There were three; the first two were destroyed; the third got moved to Songjiang and rebuilt; and then as of 2014 Zhabei was considering rebuilding their old one. So:


 * The Shanghai Archives has an article on the history of the Zhabei/Songjiang temple whose citation I've already formatted for you but whose facts need to be translated and added to the Songjiang Tianfei Palace article and tagged with.
 * The article is wrong on the date of the move to Songjiang but might be right that it was built in 1883 rather than originally demolished then as claimed here. It'd be nice if you had time to see if there was another official source. The temple's own official site doesn't mention it.
 * The archive article and this article and (obliquely) this "About Us" page suggest that Zhabei District is rebuilding or has already rebuilt a fourth Mazu temple near the site of their former one. It would be nice if you had time to poke around and see if you can find anything official on the subject that I could use to create an article on it.
 * Ditto any information about the other two original Mazu temples in Shanghai.

If you have time and interest for any, some, or all of that, great and please leave a note here saying so. I'm asking all the listed Chinese translators for help, so we wouldn't want anyone needlessly duplicating work. — Llywelyn II   02:42, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
