Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Anak Tomb No. 3 has been reverted. Your edit here to Anak Tomb No. 3 was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://i.imgur.com/lkZwoER.jpg) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 03:47, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merger (with redirect) of Li Yuanying to Pavilion of Prince Teng
Hi, given an absence of adequate referencing and an apparent recapitulation of content already at Pavilion of Prince Teng, I respectfully suggest that Li Yuanying should be merged with WP:redirect to Pavilion of Prince Teng. I welcome any input you may have; if so, please do so at the talk page for Li Yuanying. Subject completely to editor feedback, including any viewpoint you may provide, and any references or additional content that may be added, I tentatively project making the proposed merger in 7 to 10 days.

Speedy deletion nomination of Li Xuan (Tang Dynasty)
Hello Yprpyqp,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Li Xuan (Tang Dynasty) for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Rhumidian (talk) 18:16, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Fúzhōu listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Fúzhōu. Since you had some involvement with the Fúzhōu redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. GZWDer (talk) 09:30, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Signpost exit poll
Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?

If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.

All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian

The questionnaire
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Gunpowder Empires into History of gunpowder. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:10, 1 November 2016 (UTC)


 * You have done this again in this edit. Attribution is required whenever you copy material within Wikipedia, but you also need to consider whether the style of the original fits within the target article.  In this case, the section in the Imperial examination article discusses the subject in great detail, which is inappropriate for the Tang dynasty article, which aims at an overview of the whole dynasty.  That article already contains a summary of the Imperial examination article, per Summary style.  Kanguole 10:56, 11 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I see you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Please have a look at as an example of how it is done. Please leave a message on my talk page if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 20:06, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Tusi
Regarding your recent change to the lead of this article, I think they introduced some confusion. Is a tusi an officer/official? Or is it a commission/title? An individual can be a headman, but he has an aboriginal commission. It seems to me that authors writing in English are not absolutely consistent on this point, although they tend to treat "tusi" as the officer and not the office. I do not know Chinese, so I cannot say what is a more accurate rendering of the original word. Srnec (talk) 00:22, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not give me this China-born Canadian attitude. No ones owe you. Zcm11 (talk) 10:26, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Zcm11, one doesn't need to be an admin to warn another user. Your second comment above is out of line, and together with the edit warring suggests that you are not here to improve our beautiful project. Drmies (talk) 13:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

August 2017
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Drmies (talk) 03:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * What you and are engaged in is crazy. If it continues after your block expires, expect a new one. Drmies (talk) 03:15, 4 August 2017 (UTC)


 * That's a start--but a quick look at the recent history shows that this clearly got out of hand. You are an experienced editor and you can be expected to know that at some point one stops, even if the current version is not the one you like (or know to be best...), and seeks different means of resolution. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 13:46, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, while this was not the first round fired (it was the fourth) in the edit war, it's not a good edit on your part since it is unexplained--and removing sources typically calls for an explanation. Drmies (talk) 13:52, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Is this image appropriate for use on Zhanmadao? A newbie added it. I'm ignorant, so I thought I'd ask. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate


Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

Speedy deletion nomination of Ordos Campaign
Hello Yprpyqp,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ordos Campaign for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

In response to your revert of my edit to Musket
You recently reverted my edit to Musket, in which I added a disambiguation tag linking to Muskets (band), however I was unable to finish my edit summary due to miss-clicking. I added this because there is no disambiguation page for the term "musket" and thus if anybody is attempting to find the band, they will be redirected to aforementioned page, and these types of tags are extremely commonplace on Wikipedia so as to help users.

Han (state) Wikipedia article
Hello Yprpyqp,

I was wondering if you could offer a source for these Wuzi quotes on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(state) since you added them to the page. I've been reading the Wuzi in Ralph D Sawyer's Seven Military Classics and I can't find any equivalent passages.

The two states of Han and Zhao train their troops rigorously but have difficulty in applying their skills to the battlefield. — Wuzi, Master Wu

Han and Zhao are states of the Central Plain. Theirs are a gentle people, weary from war and experienced in arms, but have little regard for their generals. The soldiers' salaries are meager and their officers have no strong commitment to their countries. Although their troops are experienced, they cannot be expected to fight to the death. To defeat them, we must concentrate large numbers of troops in our attacks to present them with certain peril. When they counterattack, we must be prepared to defend our positions vigorously and make them pay dearly. When they retreat, we must pursue and give them no rest. This will grind them down. — Wuzi, Master Wu

You wrote these quotes were translated by Chen Song, can you offer any further details on who this person is and where they published their translation?
