Image Tagging Image:YVR22ndstrstn.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:YVR22ndstrstn.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.  light darkness (talk) 04:33, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Taipei as provisional capital of the ROC
This has been repeatedly discussed on other talk pages. The capitol of the ROC is where the executive yuan is, no provisional about it. SchmuckyTheCat 06:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I stand corrected. deadkid_dk 09:32, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Lead section
Yeah...ok. :-) I know it's a good feeling when you find the perfect illustration. But I rolled you back. I hope you won't edit war about it. Bishonen | ノート 19:42, 9 March 2006 (UTC).

the restored Song grave
As I understand it, the grave was there well before the 1980s, but in its present shape it's a thing from the early 1980s. Please put it in less mystifying English if you can! Berox 19:38, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:23, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Chinese military history task force
Hello. I am approaching you with this message because you have contributed to some aspect of Chinese military history on Wikipedia and/or have put your name on WikiProject Military history's member list and indicated your expertise in some field of Chinese military history.

Here's the deal. We need a place to coordinate work on Chinese military history. Therefore, I am proposing to start a task force for this purpose. But before we can go ahead with it, I need to make sure that there is enough contributors to sustain this effort. The China-related topics notice board died of neglect and if we create this task force we need to be committed to it or it will suffer the same fate. I'm asking for your opinions on this matter, whether it's a good idea or not, if you'd be interested in it, and what suggestions you might have. Also, if you know anyone else who would be interested in this, please inform them as well. -- Миборовский U 02:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey there! The Chinese military history task force has been created! Please help us expand Wikipedia's coverage of the military history of China. Feel free to list you name here, and invite your friends too! ;) -- Миборовский U 01:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!
Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WPMILHIST Announcements there.
 * The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
 * Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
 * Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific nations or periods.
 * Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 14:41, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Three Kingdoms battles
Hi, it's flattering to be asked to contribute. But i'm currently very busy with other things in life. Will probably be freed up in July to do some work in Wikipedia. And sorry for the late reply. Cheers! --Plastictv 06:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

2005 Pan-Blue visits to mainland China and Battle of Yamen proof reading
Hi there, just to let you know that I just completed a quick proof-reading of these articles. There were very few changes at all to be made, but I corrected a couple of minor spelling and grammar issues, and some altered the wikification on a couple of points in the Yamen article. Good work on the translations, especially the Battle of Yamen, it made for a gripping read. --Daduzi 18:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

tunnel warfare
I suggest collecting all info possible before rewriting the article. digging tunnels was used throughout the world against fortifications. It is much cheaper than siege engines. There have been some archeological remains found in Mesopotamia of a battle underground between Romans and Persians, where both sides where not able to recover their wounded and suddenly buried alive.

In ancient Germany tunnellike defence sytems turned whole areas into guerilla tresholds after the Roman occupation. I can fetch some articles about Roman legions being afraid of that, because these made it possible to suddenly attack an unprepared army in marching formation.

In the first world war, tunnel war with modern devices started in some places, like the Alps. Austrians and Italians battled with explosives and Medieval flails inside and on the the glaciers.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 23:40, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: List of Air episodes straw poll
An example of the use of Japanese episode list (no image) has been presented since your vote. You may want to look at the example presented and reconsider since it addresses your concern. --TheFarix (Talk) 14:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Vote change - Air list thing.
Why does the other template look better? I modified it to look almost identical. (it has a few optional parameters allowing me to use dvd covers more efficently) -- Cat out 02:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm not sure how to explain why does the other template look better, it's just an aesthetic thing I guess. Personal preference. _dk 03:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Our taste in tables dont seem to be matching then. Hypoteticaly, would it bug you if my version was used? -- Cat out 03:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Not at all, if consenus decides that your version gets used. _dk 03:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I do not like this idea of a "concensus". After all, I am the person writing the article. I should be free to choose any style I wish, asuming it is legable/workable.
 * Wikiprojects cannot and should not dictate what I can and cannot do and I feel this is what it is about.
 * -- Cat out 04:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Er...let me try to put this in a way where it doesn't sound offensive, hopefully. You are not the only person writing the article, and we should all try to respect each other's views when cooperating on an article. That is why we need consensus. Wikiprojects, as you said, cannot dictate what individual editors do, but they provide coordination and consistency for a subject area.... And that is needed for the benefit of the readers, as the readers are, ultimately, who Wikipedia serves. _dk 04:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, wikiprojects bring coordination and consistency. Neither the difference in the templates, nor the debate provide any additional consistency. Both list provide same info in almost identical manner and are consistant with norms. Coordination means they work as a group to improve a list, not dictate it. They as a group should be working for a concensus, willing to comprimise. I comprimised, why cannot they?
 * The OMG template was created long before its counterpart as a part of Anime wikiproject. The LOE wikiproject replace the OMG usage (as it did on exel saga as they proudly express it) generating inconsistancy. Anime wikiproject should be coordinating anime related articles for consistancy.
 * The point is, is the difference in the two versions worth the effort?

Coquitlam Station
Hi. I'm grateful for the revert. But curious as to why the Coquitlam Station article says it's an abreviation of Coquitlam Central Station. Should it say that? Or should it make it clear in the article that it is a different station? SilkTork 20:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding categories of Battle Royale characters
I noticed you made categories for Battle Royale characters -

However you didn't index them properly - it's true that Japanese names have the family name first, BUT in English we tend to switch Japanese names so it conforms to our order. This isn't an exception with Battle Royale - All English versions switch the naming order (E.G. Nanahara Shuya becomes Shuya Nanahara) to conform with our naming order. Therefore Nanahara should be indexed by Nanahara, Shuya WhisperToMe 16:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
