See WP:TALK, WP:CIV, and WP:UCS, that comment was absolutely unacceptable for about five different things, it would be stupidity to leave it there --L ucid 09:39, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

re comments on Tiananman Square Self-Immolation talk page
You responded to some comments of mine on that page, on a discussion about the legitimacy of a phrase/source on that page. I would like to apologise for my words and to thank you for pointing that out to me. I did not adopt the right tone or write that with a very pure heart, so I apologise. I will try to do better in future.--Asdfg12345 05:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC) BAM [= jhjlhjgvlhjkhk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.11.236.3 (talk) 16:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hainan article
Please stop. If you continue to make edits that introduce unsourced and/or poorly sourced material in order to justify a nonneutral POV, you will be blocked from editing. This is not a content dispute: this is enforcement of policy. Any material that is unsourced, or sourced unreliably may be removed at any time, per our standards at WP:V. Let this be your warning now...if you reinsert the material again, the page will be protected and/or you will be blocked from editing. 00:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC) &rArr;  SWAT  Jester    Denny Crane.


 * I've added to the compromise sentence a little bit, since you wanted more information. A possible edit you might make would be to further lengthen the sentence to say " Chinese state-run media also believes that the plane was conducting surveillance", but it is important if you make that edit to include that the media is state-run (and therefore only reliable self-referentially; meaning it is not a reliable source as to whether the claim is true or not, but it is a reliable source as to whether CCTV made the claim.) &rArr;   SWAT  Jester    Denny Crane.  03:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Jingkang Incident
Great work on the interesting history! I have gone and swept up some of the errors, most of which were minor. There was some excessive linking to other wiki articles, which I undid, and I cleanup up some of the grammar. Ohconfucius 03:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Gerald Howat
The "Eton of the north" comes from his obituary in the Independent, which is one of the article's references. It says: Following the award of a bursary to Glenalmond College, known as "the Eton of the North"... I can offer in corroboration. JH (talk page) 09:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * "Thank you." You're welcome. :) "The term comes up more often than usual since Tony Blair. So maybe it's time for a wiki page on the term itself?" Could be. A Google search showed several hundred  pages linking the term with Fettes, as against about eight linking it with Glenalmond. Almost all of the Fettes ones were in connection with Tony Blair; some may have been due to journalists simply picking up the phrase from other journalists' articles. JH (talk page) 09:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

My book
Did I tell you about my book in a message or do you frequent the China History Forum? It centers around a Jew that survives the Crusaders' 1099 siege of Jerusalem as a child and grows to manhood in the Kaifeng Jewish community. Contrary to popular belief, many Jews survived the siege and were ransomed along with holy relics. He makes his way to China via a merchant ship hailing from Baghdad. He later serves under Yue Fei after the Jingkang Incident. Thank you for the interest. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 23:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Jingkang
The article looks fine so far, it was just that painfully false sentence that stood out, like a sore thumb that was just hit by a hammer.-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 17:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Sonia Sui
A tag has been placed on Sonia Sui requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

February 2008
Hi, the recent edit you made to Sonia Sui has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Waggers (talk) 23:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Sonia Sui
I have nominated Sonia Sui, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Sonia Sui. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Misleading Edit Summary on Lust, Caution (film)
Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. David Lodge (talk) 18:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of sources for this, as I'm sure you know, so there's no justification for removing the sentence. I've just added an additional link. David Lodge (talk) 18:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You said on Talk:Lust, Caution (film) that the section had to be removed because the reference link was dead. Then you removed the section. Your intention seems pretty clear. See my comment on the talk page. David Lodge (talk) 21:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Since no one responded on the article's talk page before you made your edit, I'm not sure who the "a few fellow wikipedians" you discussed this with were, but let's leave that alone. Please read WP:DEADLINK again. The link does not need to be removed, and since this seems to be contentious, it's probably best to leave it even though I have added an additional, working link. David Lodge (talk) 16:00, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Edison Chen photo scandal
I answered your question regarding the semi-protection of this article in the talk page. But I'll let you know here as well. Yes, protection can be granted/removed by admins.

Contempt for Non Traditional Programs
The rather insulting response you wrote after someone described the Harvard Extension School seems to show mild contempt for continuing education. Even if it was the dean (somehow I cannot see a dean actually writing on a wikipage) wouldn't that description be coming from a Harvard official? Why is the message somehow 'selling' the school? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.254.207.18 (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Replied under your IP Talk page, thank you. TheAsianGURU (talk) 17:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If you truly believed what you wrote to in secret. Then why did you reply back in the other page with a harsh tone? You said that I believed myself to be a Harvard student? Why even take this elitist tone anyway if you supported continuing education? It really makes you sound like a stereotypical asian prestige whore.
 * Nice that you call me an "Asian Prestige Whore". Thank you. TheAsianGURU (talk) 17:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I said that you came off that way. Are you a Harvard student yourself? I mean what is the hostility toward the Division of Cont. Ed all about? Secondly, it seemed like you just wanted to troll the article. How do you expect someone to take those comments you left on discussion page?
 * First of all, I don't troll. I read & improve if I can. 2nd, yes, I graduated from Harvard. 3rd, please check on the discussion page who started the name calling first and lastly, please drop name calling or I will contacting an Admin. You & your proxies will be blocked. TheAsianGURU (talk) 18:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I will remove the whole Upon Visiting section. Will that makes ammends? I guess it does sound a bit like "selling" the school, but I only wanted to make note that the school is not just some building on the other side of the Charles with a mild affilation that it uses to promote classes that won't even count toward a real degree. The school is not like the UC Berkeley Extension program, but more like the programs offered at UPenn, WashU, and Georgetown. But wait a minute, Asian. Now that I look at the article and see the new admissions section. I do not mind it, but isn't this a given? I mean its mentioned in the whole article that the admissions process is different and even shows what those admissions standards are in the article itself. Why is this section needed?
 * Fixed. In regard to your proposal, it's the discussion section and you were the creator of the section, I don't really care that much. TheAsianGURU (talk) 19:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks good

No problem
The article is looking good, it just needs some more inline citations.-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 01:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Protest in Tibet article
Hi thanks for the contribution in the article. Editor Relata refero‎ has been removing my quote from The Australian about The Times's interview with a Canadian backpacker, and his view on the conflict. Relata refero is saying that it is unimportant. But I think a third party (who experienced the event) commentary about the protest would be interesting for the article. Could you help out on this issue, and I hope to avoid a edit war with this editor. Your comment on the talk page is appreciated.--Sevilledade (talk) 23:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Cost of power plant Solar One in Mojave Desert
I saw your comment and also want to know how much it cost to build the facility and what it cost for transmission lines to connect it to the grid. So far, I was able to find this in a 2006 article in Renewable Energy World: "Gilbert Cohen, Vice President of Engineering & Operations for Solargenix, said the project costs somewhere in the range of $220-250 million." I have been trying to crunch numbers on the value of various solar electric options.Johnfravolda (talk) 23:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello to you TheAsianGURU! I was wondering if you have any connection with the solar industry in China? I know production of photo voltaic wafers and solar panels in China is significant.

More info on "The Solar Project": you can see it using Google Earth at coordinates 34°52'18.87"N 116°50'0.01"W. As I understand it, the circular array and tower is Soar Two and "trough" array just south and east of it is Solar One. I am not sure whether the $220-250 million number is for one or both of these. It would be great to find an official report and not just a number from an article. Johnfravolda (talk) 05:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I have a bone to pick with you...
How can you defend such an absurd article like the Luzon Empire,especially against people who actually live in the Phillipines? I'm sorry,and I wish I could be more civil;but from the way you talked,you looked like you cast doubt upon the ability of Malays,Muslims and people who aren't White or Yellow to form political units larger than a Tribe.

More to the point,the 'official' sources of information(such as Encyclopedia Britannica Fifteenth Edition,a work which I did read in the library)say that Manila(a place that the article creator said was the capital of the Luzon Empire) was once a Muslim settlement named Maynilad(after a plant that grows there) which was conquered by the Spanish(who mentioned small artillery,perhaps made in imitation of turkish ottoman pieces) in 1571.

The Spanish then ruled for 350 years,and while there was a Chinese community in the city,those were traders who defied the Ming Dynasty laws against emigration(see Chinese Filipino). The Majority of them were converted to Roman Catholicism.

During those times,no mention was made of Chinese-Style Imperial Palaces or Ruins of them(Which are essential for a relic kingdom),Civil service examinations(also essential)or the Muslim Rajas using the title Son of Heaven(Very Essential,and it dosen't even require any effort at all).

Also,I traveled a lot in the city;and the only Chinese-Style Building I ever saw was a temple made from modern cement.

Love,anon.

PS:As I said,Sorry! Also,have I made any errors in grammar?

Oh,and here's a link to the City's official site. It's in English. http://www.manilacityph.com/maniladay.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.76.252.244 (talk) 10:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your message. For one, I was just making a mathematical calculation. I used statistically sounded methods & estimations. Don't worry, the result is ONLY a good suggestion, not a conclusion. Like I said, it was only mathematically plausible. Keep in mind that - The Spanish are very good at ruling colonies, just take a look at the Mayan Civilization to get a taste of what they did for livings back then. My position on the article is this --- Chinese settlers on the Philippine Islands can be dated back years ago before Song Dynasty. However, whether there was a "Kingdom" on the islands ruled by the Chinese, I am not sure. That remains to be seen. Thank you for your message again. TheAsianGURU (talk) 22:32, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * PS: You speak English very well, don't worry.

Thank you,I am greatful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.76.251.188 (talk) 10:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

ASOS
I'm just reverting your addition of non-reliable sources. Everything else that's removed is more or less tied to your edit. It's more of a hassle to actively just remove your non-reliable sources than to just press the "undo" button. I have no idea what ASOS stands for. Pandacomics (talk) 04:31, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * A guide on reliable sources can be found here, as I'm sure you know. I just don't see why I have to find a reliable source for something you found out. If you have a fact to put onto the article, find a reliable source to back it up. I'm just removing sources that simply are not reliable. Again, I'm not defending my stance on what ASOS stands for; I have no idea what it means, and to be blunt, I don't really care either. You do, so if someone's going to find the source to back it up, you bet it's going to be you. Pandacomics (talk) 04:39, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 00:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

An official PRC sources on Korean War...
I appricate your help on Battle of Triangle Hill article, and when I found out that you are the only one who is interested in the Korean War topic on the Chinese military history task force, I decided to give you a PRC source to help you with your contribution.

The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences maintains a research website about the Korean War. Despite the fact that it contains propaganda, I believe that given its academic reputation, it should be a vaild source for fact checkings on Wikipedia.

If you know this website before, I'm sorry for wasting your time. Once again, thanks for your help.

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian associated with Harvard. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge (including Harvard), which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

Chinese Music History
Hi, I found via the participants list of WikiProject Chinese language entertainment. I myself have worked on the article for Chinese rock a few times in the past and am dedicated to present Chinese music online to those that don't speak Chinese, i.e. 5/6 of the world.

As you can see from my user page, I am also one of the founding members of Rock in China (which currently expanded to Music-China.org). Our community is also a Mediawiki-based system solely focussed on Chinese music with one major difference: Whereas Wikipedia would like to be an encyclopedia with the aim to capture humankind's knowledge in brief, short and destinctive articles, it is our aim to present Chinese music in all its details and as much information as possible. As we like to say, we are preparing the reference page that Wikipedia is linking to. You can see the page for Cui Jian as example where this is implemented.

The main reason I am writing to you is that we have started a new project at Music-China.org called 'Chinese Music History' during which we want to document the complete history of Chinese music in all its details and cross-reference it to Wikipedia, i.e. work on both platforms according to each platforms' aims.

I would like to invite you, as member of the WikiProject Chinese language entertainment to help us build up both wikis, Wikipedia and Music-China.org. Please feel free to read more about us and the the project.

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. 04:45, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017.

Help Requested: Review of Draft AFC
Hello, I recently translated an article on a Hong Kong singer (Mike Tsang) from Chinese Wikipedia. It was subsequently draftified on UPE/COI grounds after the reviewer felt that a photo I took at a concert suggested there was a connection between the subject and myself: "There appears to be a connection between you and the subject. Would you mind explaining your relationship as to how you were allowed to take that portrait of him?" (Here) Despite explaining that audiences at Hong Kong and Chinese pop concerts are allowed to take photos and videos, and that I had taken the photo simply as an audience member without any connection to the subject, the reviewer has not responded and the article remains in Draftspace. There was a mention of notability and verifiability but no details given (here). I have since boosted up the reference sources, submitted the article for review and replaced the photo. May I ask for your help to review if the draft is suitable for Mainspace please? Izumi2009 (talk) 19:13, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
