Mock duck flavour
Excuse me, but would you happen to know how mock duck's (or mock chicken's) flavour is achieved? Is it really done without using non-vegetarian ingredients? I ask because I don't trust the lists of ingredients on food imported from East Asia after a bad experience with Nongshim, not to mention Western translations that often cut the number of ingredients in half. – Wikipeditor (talk) 03:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks! – Wikipeditor (talk) 22:58, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have sampled a can for important Wikipedia research. The article said “distinctive flavour” so I expected it to taste like real killed ducks, but it turns out it's just slightly sweet (and otherwise fairly tasteless) gluten, like I should have expected after reading your helpful explanation.  A great day for food science! – Wikipeditor (talk) 2008-10-30

Smoking as a wok cooking method
Thanks for correcting my revert. I really thought that smoking in a wok was a fraud. The 'zhangcha duck' recipe seems to be rather special and I doubt that anybody without a knowledge of that recipe will think of such a kind of smoking. The wikilink to smoking you inserted actually links to the classical kind of smoking which is not done in a wok. This problem should be addressed more clearly in the article, I think. -- DrJunge (talk) 19:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

charcoal
Will you let me reword it? Only what I added is not all about charcoal biccies, they are incidental, it's about charcoal tablets, whose only active ingredient is charcoal. Give me a sec to fix it please. Sticky Parkin 21:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with how you worded it in activated charcoal, thank you. You said all that was necessary.  The other bit (biscuits) was someone else's bit.  I just think the biscuits aren't independently notable and don't need their own page. Also the biscuit and some of the other pages said this is a historical remedy when it's not just that.  Rightly or wrongly, it's still in use, and I wouldn't say it was "alternative medicine" either, I think it's only notable enough for the charcoal page, if you see what I mean. We agree with each other- I just think the biccie info is only worth a redirect/merge in the manner that you have rewritten it in the activated charcoal page.  I think we can mention it was once sold in the form of a biscuit (because that's a fact) but we don't need to witter on at length about it in thhe article- that was just someone else's info I kept out of respect because it was well-referenced, but didn't think was all that significant (that's why I redirected it.) Sticky Parkin 22:11, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I am not obliged to do anything other than WP:BOLD and WP:MERGE on an infrequently edited article, ask anyone. Nothing is required for a merge I considered uncontroversial per WP:MERGE, of an article that is hardly ever edited.

"Merging is a normal editing action, something any editor can do, and as such does not need to be proposed and processed. If you think merging something improves the encyclopedia, you can be bold and perform the merge, as described below. Because of this, it makes little sense to object to a merge purely on procedural grounds, e.g. "you cannot do that without discussion" is not a good argument."

I don't think there will be much response to a merge discussion. Most discussions should be given a week, then acted upon. Are the biscuits so important to you?:) :) :) They aren't to me or anyone else I don't think :) I really don't care what the outcome is but don't think this is worth an article. But feel free to attempt to have a discussion. Sticky Parkin 01:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've actually worked to rescue a few food articles from AfD (see my userpage), I rescued Macaroni soup and cheese pudding, those are two I can remember, and I agree with you that they are often shockingly undervalued. This to me wasn't a food article though (are people going to eat charcoal biscuits for fun :) ) I came across it from Category:Alternative medicine which I'm trying to clean up.  The article said that this is a historical food- I think it's not a historical remedy as it's still used as a home treatment for indigestion etc, and my alternative thought would be a move to charcoal tablets so we could include the different, modern uses.  Anyway, we'll see. :) Sticky Parkin 01:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oooh does it? I'm surprised.  I didn't think charcoal and carbon were entirely the same thing but then I'm not a chemist, hence I'm tinkering with the alternative medicine category  lol:) <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Sticky</b> <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Parkin</b> 02:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, if it helps you could try and steal the info I put in the carbon article back if you want lol, or steal the sources, they were from pubmed and google books anyway. Now I personally want you to find a source that people ate the scrumptious charcoal biscuits for their delicious taste, as well as just for medicinal purposes.  Digestive biscuits are scrumptious, we eat them to this day and we don't always need a medical reason.:) I suspect the charcoal biscuits were sold (this is what the article seems to say) more as a patent medicine.  My only objection was that I thought you might be an alt.med POV pusher who just wanted as many alt.med articles as possible for the sake of it.  But if you're fighting for the food articles, that I can support.:) <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Sticky</b> <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Parkin</b> 04:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Suanmeitang
Hi, can you please help at Talk:Suanmeitang? Badagnani (talk) 14:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

No, it's about the juice. Like we have tomato and tomato juice. The main thing is that there's an editor there who is disputing strongly that the translations from Chinese are good. It would really help if you look through the discussion page and the sources and give your input. Thanks, Badagnani (talk) 07:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Copyright Violation
Your last edit of Note_(perfumery) on May 25, 2008 contains what I believe to be 3 sections of blatant copyright violation. To give you the benefit of the doubt, I have added the copypaste template to the offending sections with a link to what is probably the source of the content. I believe that theirs came first, as you generated all of this content which so happens to be the majority of said article in five minutes, it used to be verbatim with the probable source and now differs slightly, and finally the copyright on the source page is a year older than your work on the wiki page. If this is the case, please fix the article so that it complies with the Wikipedia guidelines and no longer violates copyright.

Thanks. -- Urikon (talk) 16:00, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, can you help me find the Chinese name (or at least transliteration) for piñata? Supposedly this Mexican tradition of children hitting a candy-filled papier-mache animal was noted by Marco Polo in China. But every website I found in Chinese spelled piñata in roman letters.

Chinese rank system
Hi, Sjschen, I'm seeking your opinion on Chinese rank system during dynasties because many of them were adopted to Korean bureaucratic systems so did other neighboring countries. In Korean term, the rank system is called "品階". But I could not find "correct English terms" for the subject nor articles. Therefore if there is any precedent of similar articles in Chinese subjects, I want to refer to them. Could you help me enlighten the subject? Thanks.--Caspian blue 21:38, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Notability of Roo'ra
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Roo'ra, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Roo'ra seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Roo'ra, 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 contact the bot operator 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. To see the user who deleted the page, click here''' CSDWarnBot (talk) 20:22, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. It wasn't the notability so much as the lack of content.  It appeared at first glimpse to be just another band vanity article and I wasn't the only user to think so.  It was already tagged for deletion when I deleted it.  I can easily recreate the article, but you'll have to expand it in order to keep this sort of misunderstanding from happening again.  Thanks for asking.  It'll be up by the time you get this message. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:24, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

K-pop artist article
Most of the information on that page is already present in Wikipedia's article. For everything else:

집 jip, preceded by a number, means “…th album”.

수상 susang means “award(s)”.

대한민국 영상·음반 대상 Daehan minguk yeongsang–eumban daesang must be what is rendered in English as “Korea Visual & Phonogram Grand Prize Award” on this MIAK page. I guess that award is awarded by the Korea Movie & Video Industry Association (KMVIA; in Korean: (사[단법인]) 한국 영상 산업 협회 Hanguk yeongsang saneop hyeophoe; the “(사)” is for sadan beobin “corporation”; source for English and Korean names: ) and the Hanguk eumak saneop hyeophoe (한국 음악 산업 협회; their Korean site says (in English) Music Industry Association of Korea (the aforementioned MIAK), but their English site says Recording Industry Association of Korea), and perhaps other bodies. In 1995, the band won that award in the so-called Golden disk category (골든디스크 부문 goldeundiskeu bumun).

SBS 가요 대전 대상 [eseu-bi-eseu] gayo daejeon daesang is an award obviously related to SBS, but I can't find its English name. The band won this one in 1995, too.

Curiously, the page gives 100-[=baeg]iljjae mannam (1994) as their debut (데뷔 debwi), but the album list contains an entry that is equally labeled “1집”: Roots Of Reggae (1994). I don't know what to make of that.

Also, the page has The Final (1997) where the Wikipedia article has Roo'Ra (1997). Perhaps that is the same album, and one title is for foreign markets?

The comment in the review section only says “That was our favourite band at middle school.”

KMOCT romanisation (which is identical with Wikipedia's romanisation except for a few some surnames) of the band members' names is I Sang(-)min, Go Yeong(-)uk and Gim Ji(-)hyeon (hyphens, although generally not used by ROK authorities, are optional), but these should not be used in the article text unless it is very unclear how they usually spell their own names. The band itself would be Rulla in KMOCT. AFAIK rulla is a nonsense sound for singing, much like “la la la” in English.

I think the Wikipedia article should not give album names and such in the form of hanja(hangeul), but hangeul(hanja) or just hangeul, because that's how the albums are listed here. Except perhaps if hanja feature more prominently than hangeul in the title's display on the actual cover.

Hope this helps; I am not that interested in pop music bands and don't want to spend much time on them here, particularly if they already enjoy the industry's support. Thank you for your contributions on soy, gluten and whatnot! – Wikipeditor (talk)

Kala Namak
Hi, Kala namak, which is consumed in India, is not mined - there are no active volcanoes in the Himalayas - they are fold mountains, so there can possibly no volcanic salts which are mined in Tibet or China.

Hi there Sjschen! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?

If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?

First off, go here and add Tick (✅) next to your name if you're still part of the project.

Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.

You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)

The actual location of Tekka Centre is about 300m away, (and the amount of decimal digits (7) is too precise according to this table). Thanks for helping to add coordinates to the article, I have edited it and this is just a reminder :) Squc (talk) 10:21, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Help Needed
Good afternoon! I work at the American Merchant Marine Museum, in Kings Point NY. We recently have been cleaning out files of old correspondence and collections held by the museum foundation when it was privately ran. We came across a block of tea that looks identical to the one you uploaded and any information you could provide us would certainly be invaluable. We plan to display the block in the museum here with the sailing ships of the era of whence it came. I am uploading some photos of the tea block to this page. But again, any information would be greatly appreciated! translation, origin, etc.

Thank you!

 * Hi Clayton, I'm not the expert on black tea bricks but I'll try to help. The particular black tea brick in the image was produced in Hubei after the Chinese revolution by the Zhaoliqiao Tea brick factory.(趙李橋磚茶廠). The design was from a period between 1953 and 1977. After 1977, the paifang design was replaced with a steam locomotive. If you can upload images of the front and back of your tea brick using the Wikimedia uploader, I will take a look and try to date and give you more information. -- Sjschen (talk) 17:45, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Esther Hill
Hi Sjschen,

I uploaded a photo of 63, Jerome St. to wikimedia commons that you can use for the Esther Hill article. Mduvekot (talk) 02:33, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch! This was actually designed by Jean Hall so I'll put it there. -- Sjschen (talk) 02:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)


 * My error. I must have mistaken the caption "The first Girl Architect" from the Toronto Star as referring to the photo of 63 Jerome. Mduvekot (talk) 11:55, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Where did you find the TStar article linking 63 Jerome to E. Hill? Hill's first building was built in Victoria in the 1940s -- Sjschen (talk) 02:03, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * A snapshot from a source at the AGO edit-a-thon. It was just the way the photo was cropped that led me to misinterpret the caption of a photo of Hill as referring to Hall. There's actually a J next to the photo of the Jerome St Building that made me realize the building was indeed by Jean Hall, not by Esther Hill. Mduvekot (talk) 02:21, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I see. I wish we could put that image from that pamphlet on-line, would have be a great comparison to the photo you provided. -- Sjschen (talk) 02:52, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Kaempferol
Hi Sjschen I have undone your contribution to flavones, because kaempferol belong in flavonols. Beside, the OH on the C-group is implied, and the OH on the B-ring is on 4' not 5' (which should be '3 not '5 if it was the case). You don't need to do anything, because Kaempferol is already in Flavonols. Best regards, Carystus. Carystus (talk) 18:18, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Irene’s birth name
Hi, I was also at the Gardiner event on Sunday and I was at the back with the other OCAD people. I have the same question as you have about Irene’s birth name, but I feel even Irene Hsing (née Yuan) doesn’t really make a lot of sense since that rendition would imply Hsing was at one point her last name, which seems rather unlikely.

I also found this page on a site called myrelatives.com (the site clearly has inaccurate information but the Irene on the page is clearly her). But what I’m wondering is whether we might have a way to track down her name in actual Chinese characters; if we succeed than it would solve the mystery once and for all.—al12si (talk) 18:45, 21 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi All2si, I was the one at the kid's table :). Thanks for bringing the website to my attention, it looks like a great resource! The Irene Yuan Kuo on the site definitely looks like it her, but the info provided incomplete at best. I've tried to find her Chinese name too but to no avail. It certainly doesn't help that her and her husband's names is in wade-giles and there are no diacritcs to aid in pronunciation. -- Sjschen (talk) 01:35, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Black lava salt for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Black lava salt is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Black lava salt until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:14, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Appreciated
I truly appreciate the genuine "thankful notice" that you sent my way after my Mark Z. Jacobson edits. They are what makes adding to the project worthwhile, especially at this curious time of a seemingly growing number of accusations of conspiratorial WP:POVs, being behind others such as ourselves, when we're actually really all about trying to keep POV out of wikipedia. To change the usual idiom up for the occasion. I suppose it's just a case of the pots trying to call the kettle a pot. Boundarylayer (talk) 19:43, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Jacobson
What a mess. He clearly does not accept any version of truth other than his own. I have blocked him and encouraged him to use helpme to challenge provable factual inaccuracies. I have removed some of the more obvious puff and spin from the article but t needs people familiar with the issues to review the entire thing line by line and make it WP:NPOV. Thanks for your patience in dealing with Jacobson himself. You may feelmotivated to make some comment o his talk page offering help and guidance? Guy (Help!) 10:50, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
