Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:15, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Please decipher your edit of The_Historians%27_History_of_the_World
Hi Philologick. Firstly thanks for your additions to the above. However the following line seems to have been garbled: "Starting with the origins of the people of Phoenicia..." I have fixed it as I think it should be but you may like to refine it. The rest of this section seems to be fine. All the best. DadaNeem (talk) 05:02, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

ellagic acid
Hi, your edit added an erroneous nowiki and removed pecans and walnuts. You apparently noticed that your claim about these not being in the source was erroneous and put them back in, but you didn't notice the automatic warning about the nowiki edit. I've noticed that i make quite a few erroneous edits using the visual editor and a mobile device. You seem to be an expert in the field since you apparently have access to wiley.com. Could you add a free reliable online source or recommend where i can look for one? It's hard to believe pomegranates aren't a good source of ellagic acid since it was among the fruits it was first isolated from. --Espoo (talk) 17:22, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Giant Rooks
Hi, I'm Rosguill. Philologick, thanks for creating Giant Rooks!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This article's subject may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline (see also WP:BAND). The easiest way to demonstrate notability and protect the article from deletion is to provide citations to in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources. Do note that interviews with the subject are not necessarily considered a suitable demonstration of notability, and other forms of coverage are preferable (see WP:INTERVIEW).

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

History of Women's Literature in China moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, History of Women's Literature in China, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. – DarkGlow • 17:44, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Variolation
Hi and thanks for your edit (removal) of the claims that Chinese variolation came from India. I myself found that hard to believe when I was digging into the sources but couldn't disprove it. If you can, can you share the link with me, I'd be grateful. Thank you! Danial Bass (talk) 10:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I personally found it hard to believe because I've read a few monographs on the history of Indian-Chinese encounters and exchanges and that never came up - which seemed quite surprising if there was any evidence for it. That made me want to search for evidence.
 * Check out the last paragraph before Conclusions. Unfortunately, I can't find either of the sources cited as 15 and 16. It's becoming a major problem on Wikipedia that I've noticed - Indian precedence is being conjured up and inserted into Wikipedia articles all over the place, often somewhat hidden like in this case to claim Indian precedence without drawing much attention to it. I probably gravitate towards the types of articles that get vandalized in this way, but it's making me really worry about the future of Wikipedia as the rest of the world goes online and starts adding their own nationalistic rewritings of history to it. Our policy that we're not supposed to think, just make sure it's sourced is really going to ruin Wikipedia as more and more nationalists produce their own sources to then cite.

 * Oh defitinely, ethno-nationalistic re-writings in Wikipedia is a big problem here, that's what happens when anyone can edit. Thanks for the link! Danial Bass (talk) 11:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
