Hi, thanks, I remember that episode - the one with her father. That's a pretty old one, it's not on TV very often...I couldn't find that particular piece of information on the Internet, and when it comes to TV here, anonymous people frequently add junk, so I was being a bit overzealous I suppose (my apologies if you were that anonymous person who added it in the first place!).

[edit] Sarcelles

Hi Abstrakt, yes... I'm tempted to do the same thing too, but I don't really want to be accused of "removing information". -_- I've taken the issue up with other users too, such as at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chinese cities, but so far nothing's been done. -- ran (talk) 21:49, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

I don't know what to do though... but I do know I hate having 100 articles on Chinese cities that are poorly written. What do you think should be done? -- ran (talk) 21:53, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

About Sarcelles:

1. Yes, he's annoying.
2. However, that's not to say that everything that he does is annoying. Qincheng Prison, for example, is actually pretty major.
3. Wikipedia is getting pretty stubby, with a lot of people adding their own high schools, etc. As long as Sarcelles' pet creations are well contained and well maintained, I think they're mostly harmless.
4. I think the main thing we need to watch out for are:
   1. Invasions of other article. E.g., Sarcelles starts Beijing, and 2/3 of it is about Qincheng Prison.
   2. Falsehoods and biases. Tewu comes to mind.

Thanks for watching out for him so much, btw; I will try to help you out as much as possible. -- ran (talk) 21:15, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slang pages

Hey there. :) I noticed some of your recent successful AfD's and noted that you're about as big a fan of useless lists as I am. I was wondering, therefore, if you could give me your opinion of the following before I AfD them myself: Catholic street slang (discussion started on Talk:Catholic street slang), Canadian slang, Gay slang, Sexual slang (redir to List of sexual slang), and Body parts slang - all of these have lived less than 2 months. Two others that have been around longer but still seem wrong to me are Boston slang and Singapore gay terminology. Thanks in advance for your input (here, on my talk page, or the talk pages of the articles in question). --Kgf0 23:00, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: Joe Namath

Hmm... looks like when I was trying to remove a spam link, I accidently also reverted your edit. [1] Sorry. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:08, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Xinjiang

Hi Abstrakt, yes you're absolutely right, cities and prefectures in Xinjiang should not be confounded together. The template should be corrected as well. -- ran (talk) 00:19, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

FYI, I've edited the article on Khotan to differentiate them [2]. — Instantnood 18:11, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Hami / Hotan are the official spellings, Kumul / Khotan are the customary spellings. I don't have a list of official spellings right now... but I can get it after mid-January. Or you can look in any National Geographic map. -- ran (talk) 08:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for Deletion

Hi. I have seen some of the articles you recently nominated for deletion. I appreciate you efforts in trying to keep some non-encyclopedic stuff out of wikipedia. However, there are some standards that are currently agreed upon (for example, every town deserves an article, apparently). I suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Deletion_policy and especially Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents. Not that I agree with everything that is in these pages, but going counter established precedents proves useless. - Liberatore(T) 20:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

You didn't offend me at all! Nor I am alarmed for anything (I do not care much about the existence of an article on Biancavilla in Wikipedia, but it was evident to me that this artice was about to be kept). My apologize if I offended you with my suggestion, but that was just mean to be that - a suggestion. For the record, the articles for deletion that made me think you were not aware of AfD conventions were Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Favelas of Brazil (you didn't explain why this list is useless), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lovari (musicians are usually nominated by stating that they do not meet WP:MUSIC), and said Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Biancavilla (articles on suburbs may be deleted, but articles on towns are never). - Liberatore(T) 19:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CIV

I believe some of your comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chinese prisons by Sarcelles such as "I'm baffled by the inability of some people to read!" and "... who in their right mind ..." are of the type which ought to be avoided. They are unnecessarily demeaning to other Wikipedia contributors, and tend to escalate conflicts rather than solve them. -- Dragonfiend 20:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions -- particularly picking up my mistakes! --Nlu (talk) 21:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 12% for major edits and 26% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and all Talk namespaces.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear inpolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:21, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Romanization for Bohai-related articles

Hello. I proposed to use Pinyin as the default romanization for Bohai-related articles (again). If you are interested, add your comments at Talk:Bohai. --Nanshu 01:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for all the work you do fixing my little mistakes, especially with pinyin!!! Rock on!Mike 13:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Qiemo

Well, as far as I am concerned, the information was taken from the 1911 Britannica encyclopedia. Further research needs to be done on this to keep the information up to date. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 17:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manchuria / Manchu

Hi, thanks for contacting me about the vandalism that has been going on in these two articles. I too think that Breathejustice, 67.38.247.32, and 192.35.79.70 are the same user. I only came across the Manchuria article by chance because I was doing some research about Russian and Northern Asian geography when I suddenly noticed all these bad grammatical errors and spellings. I looked upon the "history" and I noticed this one user had made mulitiple changes, and the way the article looked after he edited was just really awful and comical (in a embarrassing way) and doesn't make much sense. Anyway, I want to ask could you also keep an eye on this user and on these two pages he edited. Make sure the changes are referenced and this person doesn't do any severe Vandalism. Thanks a lot! --Godardesque 22:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sarcelles

Perhaps we should alert the people at Talk:Falun Gong? They're requesting mediation as we speak, perhaps Sarcelles' recent FLG-related contributions, especially the rather explosive Sujiatun allegations, can be included in their efforts. -- ran (talk) 19:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IPA

Hello Abstract,

when inserting the IPA template, it makes sense to put whole words into brackets, not just single letters.

I also noticed that in the article on the Tai Nüa language, someone destroyed the Tai Nüa letters, but that was probably before your edits. —Babelfisch 08:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, no, the Tai Nüa is fine, I just don't have the right font installed.

Something else: I've just reverted your adding the IPA template to the article on Hami/K̢umul. The Uighur "new script" is not IPA. —Babelfisch 11:46, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taiwanese aborigines

Hi Abstrakt, Good suggestion on Taiwanese aborigines. A brief section detailing where they live today in significant numbers is a good idea.

If you wanna jump in and edit/shorten/tighten/add new things, just do it. I am eager to find other people who want to make the Taiwanese aborigines page 'compelling, even brilliant' or whatever the Wikipedia standard for Featured Articles is. Tks! Ling.Nut 19:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rouruan

Hello, On 05:07, 24 April 2006 you added a table of Kaghans to the Rouruan article including Mi'oukeshegou Khan (彌偶可社句可汗) 郁久閭婆羅門 Yùjiǔlǘ Póluómén 521-524. Could you check his position on the list please? Also do you know if he is the ruler referred to in this quote from http://spotlightongames.com/variant/maharaja/eph.html

"522 Apex of Ephthalite power. Chief of the Juan-Juan nomads flees to the Ephthalites for protection. Ephthalites dominate north and south of the Tien Shan range. Control as far as Tieh-lo in the south, Ci`ih-le^ (Kao-ch`e^) in the north, at least to Khotan in the east probably more, and up to Persia in the west. A separate Ephthalite Empire controls much of India. Forty countries (including Sassanid Persia) are in tribute. Ephthalite centers are at Ghur, Balkh, Warwaliz (north of today's Kunduz near the source of the Oxus) and Hsi-mo-ta-lo. The entire empire probably comprises fifty to sixty thousand individuals. "

Many thanks. Kaz 00:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reference for Naxi consonants / vowels

Hi, I was wondering what your source was for the table of Naxi consonants/vowels? I'd recommend (i) using one source which uses the International Phonetic Alphabet (ii) quoting which source this is exactly. Thanks for any comments! (You can email me at: alexis.michaud@univ-paris3.fr to discuss this) Best, Alexis

[edit] Manchuria & Jurchen related articles

Hi, just want to let you know that a certain user (I'm pretty sure its Breathejustice) has been vandalize articles related to Manchuria, Jurchen, and Jin Dynasty, 1115–1234 again. Apparently, he/she still can't write well. Please, help Wikipedia users keep a good eye on these pages, thanks. --Godardesque 20:10, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism on the Jin Dynasty article

Don't worry, I'm not accusing you. User:Breathejustice has forsaken his wikipedia account for the ip address 69.210.209.211. I've reverted his/her edits countless times and it is really starting to get on my nerves. Depsite his/her info being cited, I don’t feel it is correct. Heck, even a portion of his/her cited source is wrong! It mentions "The name of Qing dynasty founder was Hambo”. This is incorrect because Hung Taiji, 8th son and heir of Nurhaci founded the Qing in 1636.

S/he keeps on reverting the page on the grounds that his/her source is cited and that the history of the Jin founder should be covered. I agree on the last part, but since his/her info is not readily excepted by me, you, and just about everyone else, It should be put (on the Jurchen page!!!) under a the heading of “Possible Origin(s)”, or something like that.

I keep on trying to tell them that the Jin dynasty page is about the Empire and not the Jurchen people, but s/he won’t listen. I mean if I wanted to add a huge paragraph about the Chinese people on every Chinese dynasty page, I would get booted out of wikipedia for being a NUT!

I have sent vandalism warnings to User:Breathejustice’s page twice. If s/he does it again, I will give him a final warning and then I will put his/her name on the Vandalism page for possible blockage. (!Mi luchador nombre es amoladora de la carne y traigo el dolor! 06:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Straw Poll

Since all attempts have been made to reach an agreement with User:Breathejustice (and his sock puppets) regarding his countless reverts and incorrect info, I've started a straw poll survey here. It will be used to determine whether the info should stay or be deleted. If, in a week or two, the problem is not resolved, I will be asking for mediation from administrators. This will eventually lead to arbitration! (!Mi luchador nombre es amoladora de la carne y traigo el dolor! 06:18, 8 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Tuoba Heru

As far as I can tell, translating a sourced article from another language wiki is just fine, but there still needs to be a sources section that indicates where the information came from. I have seen other articles handle the matter, but I forget now exactly how it was done. I'll try to go figure that out and add the proper line explaining that this is a translation. Erechtheus 18:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest that the Ong Iok-tek article handles the matter the best way. Could you please provide the link to the article on the zh wiki? Erechtheus 19:06, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I actually figured it out for myself, I think -- I'd appreciate if you'd check the link I added to make sure it hits the right page. Erechtheus 00:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Since you wrote the first version of Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, can you respond to my comments on the talk page? I realise this is a translation from the Chinese, but, naturally, they don't use the spelling "Garzê".—Nat Krause^(Talk!) 08:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taiwanese aborigines; barnstars

Hi,

Thanks for the offer of help on Taiwanese aborigines. Another editor, Maowang, is also interested in revamping the article.

I see you have a barnstar here on your talkpage. You might wanna copy it to your userpage, 'cause eventually the talk page will get so long that you'll have to archive it. Then the barnstar will no longer be readily visible.

I saw yours is the generic BoNM, rather than country-specific, so I'm thinking of making barnstars of national merit for China and the ROC. Or maybe not. I may work on articles. :-)

Anyhow, thanks! --Ling.Nut 16:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taiwanese aborigines

Hi Abstrakt,

Maowang is a friend of mine. I didn't ask him specifically why he deleted your input, but his edit summary said that it was because your info was unverified by a secondary source. I wouldn't worry — you can leave a message on Maowang's talk page to discuss the issue, or leave a message on the article's talk page, or even email him. If you have a secondary source, it would be very good to note that.

I do appreciate your contributions to Taiwanese aborigines. Maowang wants to rewrite large portions of it, and certainly some portions of the article need re-writing. :-) I would really be gratified if you felt that you wanted to be a part of the relevant discussion. Of course you don't have to, but if you do, that would be cool.

The discussion to date has been entirely via email exchanges between Maowang and I, 'cause we weren't aware of anyone else who wanted to make major contributions. There are many ways you could join in, if you wish. But if you don't feel you wanna make an ongoing contribution at this time, you can still hash out the question of the "aborigines in China" with Maowang if you like. I am easy-going; I can go with whatever you and he decide.

Please do drop me a line if you have further questions or comments. Dialog is good. :-)

Later, --Ling.Nut 15:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

OH PS, I just now looked at your recent edit. Technically it's correct, but I believe it's misleading in that it doesn't give the full picture... It's true that the official name of the Taiwanese aborigines as listed among the ethnic groups of China is Gaoshan. The aborigines were known as Gaoshan in Taiwan as well; in fact I believe the term still has some usage. I don't think it is considered to be the best possible choice of terms, tho. Maowang is actually in Taiwan now (I plan to return); he could give the scoop on what terms have currency these days.... Later --Ling.Nut 15:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] please doublecheck my Chinese.. is this correct?

See link at "left arm": In the movie Alpha Dog, the aggressive-looking Chinese characters in the prominent faux-tattoo on Justin's left arm actually mean "ice skating." --Ling.Nut 15:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manchus

I saw that you have added a category called "Manchus" to a number of article where I added the category "Manchu statesmen." Why don't we make "Manchu statesmen" a subcategory of "Manchus"? That will make it more elegant and useable.--Niohe 03:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I took a look at the three articles and I noticed that they are very short. You may want to add more content and some sources, otherwise someone might nominate them for deletion Wikipedia:Notability.

I have made Category:Manchu statesmen a subcategory of Category:Manchus and I will delete the latter category wherever the former is already present. Hope that's OK.--Niohe 23:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] help wanted

I need your help. I am a new member of wikipeida. I find the article of "Tibet" or "history of tibet" in wikipeida is very biased towards pro-independent Tibetans. I have strong evidence to prove what I said. I made some edit and added some important facts. However, they are deleted. The problem is: I am not familiar with the rules of wikipeida and I probable won't have time to get familiar with it. So, I need your help so that truth can be known by people. You can find my deleted versions in the history of that topic. The main source of my information is in the following. It would be better if you can have a quick look of this website and add whatever information you want. I remember the content of this website is from Chinese government’s white paper on Tibet issue. If you go to the official website of Tibetan in exiles, you will find that although they are very unhappy with these information. They could not point out any major problems about these facts.

"The historical status of tibet", by China internet information center. It cab be found at the website of:

www.china.org.cn/ch-xizang/tibet/historical_status/english/index.html

www.china.org.cn/ch-xizang/tibet/indexE.html

This is probably the most complete and detailed information source on the Tibet issue.

Many thanks.

We are planning to create a Manchu Wikipedia , because we are convinced that Wikipedia will contribute to the efforts of preserving this endangered language : Manchu Wikipedia
We would be highly pleased if a native speaker or someone having an intermediate level of that language like you (and having at least basic knowledge in English), would contribute on the project because i 've seen with interest what you have update a page in Manchu language.

Anyway on another related matter, I see that you are also interested in expanding the information available on the English Wikipedia as well. A Translucent Mirror: History and Identity in Qing Imperial Ideology by Pamela Kyle Crossley is a very good source in case you're looking for English sources to cite. [3]. Abstrakt

Alhouth not being a native speaker, your level proficiency still remains higher than mine. ;) Yes as you said i'm interested in expanding the information available on the English Wikipedia especially history of Korea and its closest neighbours. Creating Manchu Wikipedia is a great challenge i would like to learn more about that language but the problem is that most of Manchu dictionary i found on the web are written in Chinese and i'm not fluent in Chinese. :(.

Hi!

I need some problems with Opticals about Islam is not the fastest religion in South Korea. He always persist in his Arab Islamic source, here is the detail [6]. Please tell your opinions about this case. Thank you so much. Angelo De La Paz (talk) 04:22, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New problem

HI there!

We'd got a new problem with Editingman on the article of Religion in China ([7]). He resisted that Muslim numbers is 100 million, the value of Islam is the same with Confucianism and so much more.

I hope you could help. Thank you and best wishes to you. Angelo De La Paz (talk) 03:08, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Abstrakt. I can't help but notice that just about all you do on Wikipedia now is to be very determined to follow me. If you have a grudge about that template [8], believe me, I really think my argument was correct and that I wasn't being a pain for the sake of edit warring. I mean no harm in my edits, so I ask you please stop reversing all my work.Editingman (talk) 01:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Abstakt. What was the point of undoing this edit?[9] I think the link is more appropriate if it had the name "Number of Muslims in China" instead of "Statistics" which most will pass off as the Statistics article.Editingman (talk) 21:34, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey Abtrakt, it's me again. Sorry if my posts here are getting annoying:-) About the China article, I think that it is better if links are spelled out whenever appropriate and possible, or the readers might passed it by as something else. Right? Editingman (talk) 02:34, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Sibe.png

A tag has been placed on Image:Sibe.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 [[ Talk:Image:Sibe.png|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. 71.189.216.248 (talk) 01:52, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] delete this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_Financial_Supervisory_Authority

There is almost no text. I think something could be written about it so I am somewhat for keeping it. However, the article is only one sentence and of little value.

I am asking for your opinion. You need not answer if you nominate it. Thank you. Spevw (talk) 23:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] chaquan

I have a small book on Muslim kung fu called Wushu Among Chinese Moslems (1984) that equates the Cha boxing style with Muslims. The books states "Zhaquan (Zha-style shadow boxing), which comes under the category of changquan (long-range shadow boxing) is of obscure origin, is said to have been created in the Ming Dynasty and handed down by a Zha family of the Hui nationality through the ages." (pp. 5-6) An article from Kung Fu Magazine mentions Zhamir (spelled "Chamir") as the creator of Tán Tuǐ. I believe Tan tui is taught in congruence with Zha boxing. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 21:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Giocangga

I have added a note asking about the temple name for this man. As you appear to be the one who added the temple name, I would just like to ask a little more about this.

Saying that "His temple name was Jǐngzǔ (景祖)" seems to imply that this name was given to him by the Jurchens after his death. I'm sure that this is not beyond the bounds of possibility, given the Chinese influence on the Jurchen and Manchu state. But the greater possibility, given that 景祖 clearly refers to ancestry, is that it was bestowed well after the time of his death, possibly as part of the biographical and historical efforts of the Qing dynasty to make an imperial ancestor fit into the Chinese mould. If this is the case, it would seem important to give an indication of this. The man's biography reads more like an "official Chinese dynastic record" than that of a Jurchen notable. That is, it is a biography written by later people to fit in with their place in history rather than to describe the facts.

I was thinking that it may be more appropriate to write something like: "For the purposes of the imperial genealogy, he was later given the temple name Jǐngzǔ (景祖)".

Just wondering what thoughts you might have on this.

[edit] Please protect Jin Dynasty 1115

From the last poll regarding the origin of the Jin Dynasty rulers are not koreans have been put to rest. However, nationalist koreans have once again added the section that Jin Dynasty rulers are from Korea. And this have been ongoing for some time now which will end up as an edit war sooner or later.

Reading from your contributions i trust that you are a resonsible and capable member of wikipedia. I would be greatful if prtection can be initiated on the Jin Dynasty page.

[edit] Hello

Hi, at the moment I'm trying to improve as many Chinese location articles as I can but I realized that there are still hundreds of China's counties that still don't even exist on Wikipedia yet. Currently I'm trying to complete the basic structure of Yunnan, adding geocoords/maps, filling out infobox data, creating navboxes, sorting categories and I noticed from the histories that you created many of these articles. I was wondering if you have the time and are willing to help out in anyway. I only know of one other guy User:Danaman5 who is trying to complete the creation of all of China's county-level divisions. It would be greatly appreciated. Regards.--40fifw0 (talk) 17:54, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Norman not a first-hand source for Naxi phonemes

Hi Abstrakt,

Thanks for your answer to my query about your reference concerning your edit to the list of Naxi phonemes ("Naxi language" article). I have to point out that the reference you use, while very useful, is not based on first-hand data (at least not concerning Naxi), and that the data available at the time were less accurate than those now available.

My own phonemic analysis is based on over 6 years of fieldwork now, and on close collaboration with Naxi scholars: He Xueguang, He Jiren, He Limin... as well as with prominent specialists of Tibeto-Burman languages, such as Boyd Michailovsky and Martine Mazaudon, who have done fieldwork on Naxi.

Again, I don't want to be pushy and impose my own inventory against the will of other contributors. This is an open space for collaborative work. I just thought I'd point this out to you, because in my view the consonant inventory that you give is misleading in several respects: the glottal stop is not phonemic, nor are the palatal and alveolo-palatal orders, so all of these can be dispensed with.

Good luck for the continuation of your work, best

Alexis Michaud

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Abdul'ahat Abdulrixit, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Has been unsourced for 3 months, fails the sourcing requirement at WP:BLP

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).
