Hmong Churches
Hi, you wrote this article a long time ago. Can you provide any more details or references to verify the information presented? It's a very short and vague article. Thanks. Rigadoun (talk) 22:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Masanjia Labor Camp
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Masanjia Labor Camp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

List of laojiaos in Gansu
Question? Why is it notable enough? It's way too short to even have its own page! I'm going to ask for it to be deleted, so if you want to move the information to Gansu or laojiao, go ahead. Just...I have no idea why it even occured to you that it was important enough... Sorry if I sound rude, I don't mean to be. I just don't think such pages should be created by well-meaning people - it just makes it harder for everyone else. It seems as if there are a couple of other people who have suggested similar things...so just read the basic things for creating your article before you write them. :) mathwhiz  29  02:21, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Labor Camps that exist now obviously are important enough. Even if few can be said safely about them.

You know that these camps fundamentally change the lives of the people living in them. Furthermore these camps are a major feature of the current system of Mainland China. Sarcelles (talk) 16:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. They obviously deeply change the lives of the people there. However, the lists themselves are the things I don't necessarily agree with. Should a link be provided to the site where you took your information, and put on laojiao, that should be good enough. The lists themselves have no further information about the system, or the conditions to be survived, or even anything about laojiaos, just more links that link toward the place-names. Were the laojiaos separately discussed on, say, Anhui's page, and if that information was tailored to that specific entity, then maybe they deserve separate lists.
 * Also, the article on laojiaos could be better linked and referenced - were you thinking of doing that? mathwhiz  29  22:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank for your deprodding.

Alright, I turn to that article. Sarcelles (talk) 11:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

transscription into Arabic characters
Sure thing, I asked Zozo2kx if he could do it. I don't have Arabic on my keyboard, nor do I know how to write in Arabic. Its shameful, but I'll learn eventually. Zozo2kx is quite reliable, I have obtained a number of translations from him. Regards, --Al Ameer son (talk) 16:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much.

Speedy deletion of Isolated radio churches
A tag has been placed on Isolated radio churches requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Fremte (talk) 00:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject Correction and Detention Facilities
Hi. I've noticed that you've contributed a large amount of content to Wikipedia's articles on prisons and detention facilities, specifically to the lists of Chinese prisons. I would like to invite you to join a new WikiProject that has been recently created to improve, organize and assess these articles at Wikiproject Correction and Detention Facilities. I also notice that a large number of what I consider to have been notable articles have been erased, some with very little debate. Perhaps if more people who were interested in expanding the realm of knowledge concerning the conditions of prisoners around the world had been engaged in such a debate, these delations would not have taken place. Anyway, at the moment I'm just trying to expand the roll because we only have five members right now. Thanks.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 17:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

List of "Re-education Through Labor" camps in China
User:Politizer and I have been discussing merging the lists that you created of these camps into other articles. There is a master list of camps already. I've already done some of the formatting. Hopefully we can bring these articles to the same quality as the List of United States state prisons article.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 20:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Chinese prisons
And even better...an updated Introduction chapter to use as a ref in the Re-education through labor and Laogai articles...thanks for pointing this out! Best, &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 14:59, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * When I come across one that's not listed anymore, do you think it's better to remove it entirely, or to leave a note in its row explaining that it's no longer listed? Politizer talk / contribs 15:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * In those cases its existence is doubtful. Hence it should be removed. Sarcelles (talk) 17:48, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
