Please do not insert external links in the main body of articles (ie: History of China). -- prat

Please do not revert major edits without discussion or comment! Clearly English is not your first language, you should accept that others may make legitimate changes to your text. Another gripe: all of your changes have no comment! This is very frustrating for those editing the same wiki, particularly as you make tens of changes in a row! Please see Talk:History of China for discussion. -- prat

Thanks prat, however your edition had annihilated my links and the essential of this topic. -- User:reply


 * Mosstoh - From my understanding of the history (of which I don't pretend to be an expert), you did put up some interesting ideas that haven't been seen on Wikipedia before. Feel free to drop me a line on my talk page but just a reminder - please discuss major edits before attempting edits. Wikipedia is built from cooperation, not from idiosyncratic views. Thanx. Here are several useful links How to write a great article, Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese) User:kt2

You have just repeated the same revert. Please do not silently revert (it's bad form), and please label any edits you make with an appropriate summary so that others can track changes. -- prat

I do understand what you meant, still working it out. -- User:reply


 * Can you work that out on a draft page, such as User:Mosstoh/Sandbox -- User:kt2

Mosstoh, we have tried to be nice but your actions seem to indicate you don't care about working with others. Since this is a community-written website this is something that is not tolerable. Please work with other contributors and not against them. --mav 07:50 31 May 2003 (UTC)


 * Can you use some formats of the Chinese titles familiar to English language readers? For instance, put King Wuling of Zhao instead of Zhao Yong &#36249;&#38605; (Zhao Wuling King) or &#36249;&#27494;&#38728;&#29579;. User:kt2

The History of China page has been reverted to the 31st May version, as per general agreement. The version previously existing was littered with too many mistakes, too many disputed translations and had too poor a standard of english to be left as an entry in an english language encyclopædia. Any attempt to ignore the views of other contributors and simply return to your version will be reverted. Please remember wiki is a collective community-orientated encyclopædia and no one person has a right to take over an article and treat it has their own property. Please also remember this is an english language encyclopædia. Please follow formats of Chinese titles familiar to english language readers, not ones only known to Chinese readers. Formats only known to Chinese readers belong on a Chinese wiki. In an english language sourcebook people have to write in a form that english readers will understand. Finally as this is an encyclopædia please be careful to produce translations of Chinese words or names that are correct in english. One of the major problems with the version of this article which existed prior to tonight was that it was very difficult to follow because of its standard of english. Please do contribute but understand that your words (even if the meaning is not changed) may have to be changed to be made understandable to english readers. This is a community effort and everyone had a right to contribute. No one person owns this article and any effort by one person to block other people's contributions will not be accepted.
