Some minor modifications for the rest of them: I took out the second appearace of History of China in the table because we only need to link it once. I also removed the line break in the heading since the table is wide enough for it to fit one line. --Jiang 08:51, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Old vote at Talk:List of French monarchs
Did you just vote on a six month old vote at Talk:List of French monarchs? Not sure what ever happened with that... john 05:21, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Yeah, nothing ever happened with that...it was all basically about fighting a troll who insisted on including the Merovingians. And then the troll left, and so on and so forth, and we never got back to figuring out what to do. john 05:38, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Family trees
Hello Ktsquare! The answer for "what is the family tree software" is "there is no software". I just draw them by hand in Corel Draw and then export the files to a *png format. I would be glad to help but as you will understand, chinese languages for me are chinese. Does wiki has some kind of way to transport images across languages? Because Baldhur also wnats the family trees in the German wiki. Cheers, Muriel Victoria 09:42, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)

The Sima family tree is great. I added it to List of family trees. Try saving diagrams in PNG instead of JPG to eliminate the artifact like those liquid paper-like smudges around the names. Menchi 10:41, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Emperors
I've been using the info on the individual dynasty pages, which is usually the same as that on Table of Chinese monarchs, but it seems to me that the table of emperors for each dynasty should have its own page, linked to the relevant dynasty page but not on it. If the tables are on the dynasty page, it makes the page too long and cumbersome (the Chinese monarchs page is already way too long), especially as the entries get more developed and more detailed as time goes by. They are not needed there, but should be easily accessible. I've already done that with the Qing dynasty, and plan to with the Ming dynasty when I can get around to it. That's my humble opinion anyway... Madw 14:21, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Ktsquare. I understand what you mean and I have that feeling too. But what I mean is that we should not hide the things really occured in our history which would be regarded as ugliness, rudeness or bloodiness in the modern time just because we are caring too much what others think. They did and do have discriminations. But we should not cry out like children just because the they, foreigners, especially the people have some anti-China thoughts, pointed out something wrong with us. The truth is truth. We will be truely respectable when we can face them all. People said: &#30693;&#32827;&#32780;&#21518;&#21191;. If there was anything I said made you sad, I am sorry.

Huns
Hello, I see you've made numerous edits at Huns in the past, and you may be familiar with the elaborately named and dated tables of dynasties that are laid out at that entry. Would you contribute a brief introduction to those sections, telling readers how we happen to have such complete material, and giving the most familiar form of the annals where this material was preserved? Just tell readers what anyone familiar with this history would know. Thank you. Wetman 21:19, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hello, Zestauferov provided the tables of dynasties and asked me for the corresponding Chinese characters which I provided. I would refer your question to Zestauferov.

Article Licensing
I've "started" the Free the Rambot Articles Project which aims to get users to release all of their contributions to the U.S. state, county, and city articles (if any) under the CC-by-sa 1.0 and 2.0 license (at minimum) or into the public domain if they prefer. A secondary, but equally important, goal is to get those users to release ALL of their edits for ALL articles. I've personally chosen to multi-license all of the rambot and Ram-Man contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the   template (or even    for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case, since the number of your edits is in the top 100. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Multi-licensing), you could replace   with    -- Ram-Man 00:05, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

Hello KTsquare first of all thx for your great work with interwikilinks. One small note though.

References on East Asia
Thanks for contacting me about accountable references and especially search services on East Asian studies. I know the trouble you are having. There is so much information on the WWW but so little is properly referenced, and this is also true of the Wikipedia (which is why I spend so much time adding references whenever I can). I can only suggest that you check reputable websites (such as the Silk Road Foundation, Silk Road Seattle, and various websites that give Full Text copies of important documents). If you let me know what specifically you are looking for I will do my best to steer you in the right direction to find it. I am looking forward to checking out your websites too. I may then have a better idea of what you are doing and what might be of interest to you.

Now, please excuse me as I must rush. I am editing my first book for publication later this year as a paperback, and I am well behind schedule (and also my Chinese input program has just broken down, and my son's wife has just had a lovely baby girl), so it looks like a busy time ahead!!!

All my very best wishes,

List of past Chinese ethnic groups?
I have queried the use of 'Past Chinese ethnic groups' as a title for that page (see Talk). There hasn't been any response yet. What are your ideas on this?

As you wrote the bulk of the article on the Juan_Juan, I believe you are also best qualified to comment on my suggestion that the article should be placed under Rouran rather than Juan Juan. The grounds are the very ones that you stated yourself -- Juan Juan was a derogatory name that they were called by the Chinese. The Rouran may not be around any more, but surely they have the right to go down to posterity with something approaching their own name, not an insult made by their enemies! Would be interested to hear your views.

Battle of Xuzhou or Battle of Taierzhuang
Your draft of the Battle of Taierzhuang seems great, but the Battle of Taierzhuang is sometimes considered a part of Battle of Xuzhou(台儿庄大捷是徐州会战中中国军队取得的一次重大胜利), and IMHO some part of the Battle you described is not part of the Battle of Taierzhuang.

Trouble with the two versions template
Hello. Could you advise what I should do to such situation: ? Briefly, it was resulted from the new section that I've added for Macao. User:Huaiwei insisted it should instead be spelt "Macau". Both spellings are used by the Macanese government in English, but "Macao" is preferred, and is the spelling used in the English name printed on the passports the government issues. In my opinion, no particular preference should be given to any of the two spellings, as colour vs. color. To avoid edit warring, I put on the twoversions tag, but Huaiwei keeps reverting back to the other version which he prefers. &mdash; Instantnood 17:01, 7 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I would just like to take this opportunity to point out (for the sake of balance in arguments), that Instantnood has been unwilling in recognising the fact that a spelling dispute exists, let alone displaying a genuine desire in dispute resolution. Even after being reminded that the spelling controversy is far from over, he proceeded to continue using Macao in all his edits including in the above article, knowing full well that others disapprove of it. He tried to use the twoversions tag on his version, but fails to also conduct discussion in the relevant talkpage until I lambasted him for it . The discussion there appears to be grinding to a rapid halt, as has also happened in Talk:Macau, something he probably forsees. Hence his preference for over-using twoversions, as he uses the impasse and stalled discussions to justify the continued display of his prefered version. As for content issues over how Macau should be spelt, it is all there in the relevant talk pages as mentioned. Instantnood's inclusion of his views on this content matter in your talk page suggests to me that he is far from nuetral in his call for outside comments.


 * I do hope you may take these facts into your consideration when assessing this issue. Thank you, and I apologise in advance if this amounts to misusing your talk page.--Huaiwei 17:30, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

For your information, Ktsquare, that my policy in using the twoversions template is to display a version according to what the certain article was like before the disputes. I do not choose a version to display arbitrarily, nor a version that I preferred. List of railway in China is an example.

As for Macao/Macau, it's unavoidable to choose one of the two spellings when adding new content, like creating new articles, or adding information about Macao/Macau to articles that previously have nothing about Macao/Macau. &mdash; Instantnood 17:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
