History of Beijing
Your message of support for my contributions to the History of Beijing article is deeply appreciated. Congratulations on your latest award. I should thank you for your excellent work on the various military history articles. Reading Jin-Song wars prompted me to revisit the history of Beijing between 1120-25. The turn of events there during that relatively short period of time had a pivotal effect on the history of the Liao, Song and Jin. It is not well known that the Song actually managed to briefly recover Youzhou/Yanjing/Yanshan from 1123-25. I think the Jin campaigns against the Song Dynasty should mention the impact of Zhang Jue's execution on Guo Yaoshi, his defeat at the Battle of Bai River, and his assistance in leading the left flank of the Jin attack on Kaifeng. According to Chinese sources, both flanks of the first Jin campaign of 1125 were aimed at Kaifeng. The right flank was bogged down in a siege at Taiyuan, but the left flank on Yanshan advanced more quickly than expected due to Guo Yaoshi's assistance.ContinentalAve (talk) 15:13, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Jin campaigns against the Song Dynasty
This is a note to let the main editors of Jin campaigns against the Song Dynasty know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 31, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/January 31, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Jin campaigns against the Song Dynasty were a series of wars that took place in the 12th and 13th centuries between the Jurchen Jin Dynasty and the Chinese Song Dynasty. The Jin invaded the Song in 1125 and captured the Song capital of Kaifeng in 1127, causing Emperor Huizong (pictured) to abdicate. The Jin conquered northern China and the Song retreated to southern China, relocating the capital to Hangzhou. A treaty ended the war in 1142 and settled the boundary along the Huai River. Prince Hailing invaded the Song in 1161, but lost at Caishi and was assassinated shortly after. A Song invasion of the Jin motivated by revanchism in 1206–1208 and a Jin invasion of the Song in 1217–1224 were both unsuccessful. The Song allied with the Mongols in 1233, and jointly captured the last refuge of the Jin emperor in 1234, the year the Jin collapsed. The wars between the Song and Jin gave rise to an era of technological, cultural, and demographic changes in China. The Jin adopted the political and cultural institutions of past Chinese dynasties, gunpowder weapons like the fire lance were introduced, and the Song resettled and rebuilt their government in southern China.

 * Congratulations for this award and for your first featured article, no doubt the first of many! Not to neglect your featured list Timeline of Jin campaigns against the Song Dynasty, of course, but Jin campaigns against the Song Dynasty is a higher feat. You have the rare and enviable skill of writing complex articles in a very short time. All the accolades you have received are well deserved, and it's good to have you on board as someone who can add such rich content to articles on lesser-known aspects of Chinese and Inner Asian history.
