Taiwanese people draft page

 * Here's a draft page, below. Knock yourself out. Edit 'til you drop. :-) Try to interlace your ideas with Maowang's, as much as possible. I may start kicking in ideas later....

Taiwanese people

 * Well, whatever happens, I'm hoping for a compromise solution that incorporates elements of your ideas and Maowang's in an NPOV manner. But... we will see how things develop. Later, --Ling.Nut 23:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with most of what you and Maowang have said on the discussion page. I only object to filling the page with deep analysis of identity. It sounds like a research paper, especially using (Brown, 2004) etc in the text when it should use the proper tags. Also, Maowang never got to see how I was going to edit the page because he simply saw the intro text and objected. I could've worded it better but the point is to introduce the reader to the broad general usage of the term (Taiwanese = ROC) then explain the other existing definitions. The identity issue is one that deserves its own page. — Nrtm81 23:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I think the Taiwanese people page should be brief, and should present a very brief summary of every perspective, with wikilinks to various other articles that can fill in more details.
 * You're talking to the wrong person about (Brown 2000) cites etc. In my field, those are expected. I hate the footnote style. I do not think ref tags are in any way "proper" for references, though they are of course OK for notes. :-)
 * Come on... please don't answer people who express angry feelings on the Talk page. It just encourages more pie-throwing! Let's just focus on writing a nice, concise, WP:NPOV article, OK? :-) --Ling.Nut 13:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Many Hakka in Taiwan do consider themselves as "Taiwanese", I left you a message in response to your inquiry under Hakka page User: Dlc_73 01:26, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Can use this? Please comment...

 * Please comment: Talk:Taiwanese people
 * --Ling.Nut 22:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The comment by Jerry on User talk:Ling.Nut/Taiwanese people/Maowang is an old one, from before I moved that page into my user space. No one is currently working on that page.
 * Maowang hasn't abandoned the Taiwanese people article; he emailed me about it a day or two ago. But he's probably busy at the moment.
 * I'm probably not gonna work on it any more. For one thing, I'm busy...
 * --Ling.Nut 20:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You must be a mind reader! :-P
 * About (re)unification: you're correct to say that it's unification with the PRC, but at the same time it's also reunification with China. Slice it in any way you choose. ;-)--Ling.Nut 20:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

(undent) I haven't forgotten you or Taiwanese people. I still plan a massive editing of the article.. but am busy at the moment... maybe a week or three from now. But it's gonna happen. Ling.Nut 19:51, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Myeongseong TV drama.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Myeongseong TV drama.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Little context in List of Shinto shrines in France
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on List of Shinto shrines in France, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because List of Shinto shrines in France is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting List of Shinto shrines in France, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 02:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Gomanism Taiwan.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gomanism Taiwan.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Maria's Kitchen.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Maria's Kitchen.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Taiwan Naruwan.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Taiwan Naruwan.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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