Thera eruption
You've added a nice section. As you said though, it needed some editing. For stuff that needs editing, it's usually better to put it in the Discussion page or in a sandbox. Daphne A 07:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Have you seen
 * Bietak M. (2004), "Review&mdash;'A Test Of Time' by S.W. Manning (Oxbow, 1999)", Bibliotheca Orientalis 61: 199-222.

This shows that most of the archaeology in Manning's book is wrong. Perhaps it should be included in the list of References for Thera eruption? Daphne A 08:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Places visited
Hey, you stole my "Places visited" box! I'm just kidding, I'm glad you liked the format, layout, and color. Perhaps I should distinguish between countries and territories in my own box. Also, the US States and Territories box is a good idea. I just might borrow that. &mdash; 08:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your hard work on this map! =)

Couple of things:

1. Hainan is a province. "SEZ" is a designation of its economic rights. 2. Xinjiang was a province, not an area during the ROC.

Wow, great map! One of the more detailed I've seen. Though I admit I got a pretty good laugh at seeing the huge number of claims in contrast to the size of the "free area". --Yuje 01:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

你好！ 這張地圖（英文版的與中文版的）就是你自己做的麽？ 若是降的話，我要和你說一些事情：我要在我的論文用這張地圖，所以要指出版權. 求你的幫助. kollbass

Largest ship
Hello-- good work on the succession boxes. It seems however that Queen Mary however was never the largest; she would have been but Normandie was enlarged before QM entered service,Talk:RMS_Queen_Mary. Kablammo 01:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Infobox Commercial Ship
As you may know, there are a variety of infobox templates used for ocean liners; at least one of which is ill-suited to passenger vessels. As a consequence of a discussion with User:Ebyabe at User_talk:Ebyabe, Ebyabe has generously agreed to create a template for passenger vessels. It appears at Template:Infobox Commercial Ship. Its creator needs assistance with the fields for the template. For example, it will need a tonnage field, but would not need a displacement field. Should beam be moulded breadth, or extreme beam? Should length be pp, or oa? Given your interest in this area, would you be willing to particpate in the project? If so, go to Template talk:Infobox Commercial Ship and weigh in. It may be that different templates are needed for passenger ships (gt), freighters (dwt, net), containerships (TEU) and that one size will not fit all. Would you be interested in participating in this project? We need more input. Thank you. Kablammo 01:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note-- I look forward to working with you. Kablammo 04:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

RMS Lusitania
Hello again. The launch date of this vessel seems to be in some dispute; I have started a section on the talk page to discuss. It seemed to me that the June 7 date is correct and I changed the page accordingly (with citations). There is an IP contributor who disagrees, so I invited that contributor to participate. In going back through the edit history I see that an established and knowledgable user -- you-- have also edited on this question. Participate if you wish; it should be a question with an easy answer. Regards, Kablammo 04:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I hope Im in the right section and am not too familiar with everyone's names. But the launch date of Lusitania has been in some debate since last years calendar reach of '666'. I researched the date(though Ive been familiar with it for many years) as I wanted to be sure before making the change to Wiki. (Im more than willing to stand corrected if Im in error.) Three sources I used 1. LostLiners.com - a site devoted to passenger liners already linked in the 'External Links' section, 2. a 1994 issue of maritime journal Atlantic Liners with an actual page of the book online rather than a website quote of that page 3. the 1964 CBS documentary World War One in which the Lusitania launch date was mentioned. All three sources have no agenda of promoting the '666' coincidence & deal with the subject of the ship itself. The mixup may be in the fact that in Clydebank on June 6 the news didn't travel to American papers until the next day withstanding the 6 hour time difference. The reports of the launch in some places would have been the next day June 7. Lastly some mixup the launch date with the ship's maiden voyage date Septemeber 7 1907. It's an easy mistake. This is a mistake that should never have occurred online as old maritime sources are available at libraries etc. I hope we can put this matter of the launch date to rest.

Hi again, Kablammo & Pryaltonian, I'll try to find that Atlantic Liners page again with June 6 as I think that journal was 'cricket' to the best of my knowledge so to speak and the best bonafide source. I'll link the page for you all if I find it. Thanks.

Do you take requests?
I was wondering if you could edit a map of the world like the kind seen here to show the ROC's constitutional borders? SpencerCS (talk) 03:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

September sounds great. I look forward to it. SpencerCS (talk) 05:25, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Great job! Thanks a lot. :) SpencerCS (talk) 22:42, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I put the map on the ROC page. SpencerCS (talk) 22:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Map request
Hey there,

Do you have a version of with both Taiwan and mainland China (all 11*10^9 km^2 of it) in unhighlighted grey (ie. background color for all countries)? If so, could you email it to me? (It's not for anything Wikipedia related, as the practical utility of this would be quite limited, just something that would be awesome to have.) Thanks! --Миборовский (talk) 22:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again but...
Could you make a map like  to include the ROC's constitutional provinces or tell me how to do it with Photoshop? It would be most appreciated. :) SpencerCS (talk) 03:05, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Moving IP edit to talk page
Original message posted on User:Pryaltonian: Hi there... not sure if I should write here, in top of ur wiki page... anyway, hope u read it before deleting it... About the "Constitutional claims of the ROC" map, r u thinking about editing a new one, but with the names written in pinyin? I guess u already know that it will be the only official standard in the ROC starting in january 2009... it would be easier for students, and general readers... (Im not gonna tell u about the benefits of pinyin, guess u already know) Cheers zaijian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.41.150.154 (talk • contribs) 22:55, 29 October 2008 (UTC) Moved by --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs email 08:13, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Issues with a map you created
I have posted some issues I have with a map you created at File talk:Qing Dynasty 1820.png. Please respond there if you care. —  AjaxSmack  14:42, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Republic of China article
Since you said on your user page that you are from the Republic of China, I guess you are interested to share your view at Talk:Republic of China#Requested Move (February 2012). Thanks for your attention. 61.18.170.131 (talk) 12:25, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Qing Dynasty 1820 Map on Spratly Islands page
Hi, I was looking at the Spratly Islands page and saw the Qing Dynasty in 1820 map that was lastly edited by you. Looking at the map, I began wondering where you got the sources. So would you tell me where the sources are from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.219.193.111 (talk) 17:47, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Jurors for WikiScienceCompetition 2017
Hi! I see from your infoboxes and descriptions that you might have a technical or scientific background.

If so, I contact you because I am in charge to find jurors for Wiki Science Competition. Originally, I was looking for more people in the international jury, since I have no "ethnic Chinese" yet, but I was told that the Taiwan competition (the national local jury) needs some names too. So I am leaving messages to all user I can associate with Taiwan and some scientific profile.

Log story short, if you are involved in some work related to science and technology and you have some free afternoons, you can give me your real contact and I can tell them.

Like other people I would have contacted you in private because jurors are public figures, and this way if you take part to the jury, noone can associate you with your username easily. Unfortunately, you have no mail... sorry for that.

That's it, contact me if you are interested and you need to know more.

Also, if you think you can help in spreading the news of the competition or contacting other professors or researchers, you can give me your email (maybe one that keeps your anonymity) and I will inform you like other supporters of all the details.

Thank you in advance.--Alexmar983 (talk) 06:29, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
