[edit] Battle of Central Plains

Nice work on the Battle of Central Plains article. If you can cite your sources, we will be able to feature the article under the "Did you know" section on the main page. --Jiang 02:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Ditto -- Nice work on the Battle of Central Plains article. However, wouldn't "Central Plains War" be a better English translation? See Talk:Battle of Central Plains for reasons. Also, I recently created stubs for Zhili-Anhui War, First and Second Zhili-Fengtian Wars, and the Anhui, Zhili, and Fengtian cliques if you have info you can add. -AjaxSmack 17:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Glad to see those articles created, but I thing we need something like warlord clique (perhaps a subarticle of clique, which seems too concentrated on Mean Girls concepts) to unify the articles under that subject as a topical overview, which then would fall under history of the Republic of China (but not warlord era, since they overlapped).

[edit] good work

The Original Barnstar
Good work on improving Chinese history stubs vastly. You'll be a great editor. Keep it up! Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 02:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm awarding you this barnstar for your excellent work. Do continue...I noticed your editing pace picked up recently, so all the better. I'm also curious and amazed about your quadralingualism + dialect use ... the Singapore government's ideal Singaporean is bilingual (but doesn't use dialects, thanks to the democidal Speak Mandarin Campaign) but even so I'm struggling in my non-English subjects. As a side note Edit summaries will also help the editing process! Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 02:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sun Tienying translation

Here is what I think its saying:

In 1933, with Feng Yuxiang in Chahar province he advocated opposition to Japan and Chiang Kai-shek's Central government. The national government feared Sun Tienying' cooperation, but Sun Diangying was not willing to be involved in the conflict, hoping to get control of the northwest of China, therefore the government sent its army to open up wasteland in Qinghai, thus stationing troops that also supported the northwestern Ma Chiachun to give them the strength to cope with Sun Tienying.

In 1934, in January, the 60,000 man army of Sun Tienying, wanted from Suiyuan to enter the western province of Ningxia. The three Ma Chusun, Ma Buqing in Ningxia, president Ma Hungkuei, his younger brother Ma Hungpin was saved by the forces of the National army in Qinghai. Both sides battled for three months, Sun Tienying was defeated, his army was in retreat to Suiyuan when it unexpectedly was attacked by the Shanxi-Suiyuan area armed forces and forced to disarm. Sun Tienying went into seclusion in Taiyuan, Shanxi. (both paragraphs awaiting edit) Asiaticus 19:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signature image

Hello! I notice you sign with an image. Images are not really liked as a signature, as the guideline reads. I would suggest you to change it to not include an image, as it will likely get some comments to your talk page. There are enough editors to make it clear image in signatures are not really welcomed. Thanks for understanding, I will work in your editor review later. -- ReyBrujo 01:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thank you for the review

Glad to hear you have fixed your signature. However, I haven't yet reviewed you, so you may have tried to contact someone else :-) Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 05:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Because of your input on previous music AfDs, I was hoping you would take a look at this article and provide your thoughts on whether or not it meets WP:MUSIC its latest AfD. PT (s-s-s-s) 00:25, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't sure about the signature policy, just fixed it now. Fixed some other things you mentioned too.

[edit] Re: Faye Gabriel

I'd like to apologize for the general tone of this AfD. While we obviously have opposing viewpoints, you're trying to make valid points while the people whom agree with you are showing a (for lack of a better term) lack of maturity. Though I disagree with you, I certainly respect your opinions. -- Kicking222 04:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apology

I probably ruined any chance you had at maintaining the Faye Gabriel article, but I just felt cornered and it appeared my only allies were Gonzo883 and himself cloned 4 times. Anyway, this may be a learning experiernce for us all, and hopefully next time we collaborate i can be a help. WalterWalrus3 04:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Turban Rebellion

I've just noticed a reasonable-looking objection to your DYK nomination for this article, so I thought I might run this by you and see what you think: One of the problems cited in the objection is a lack of referencing and the other one is the style in which it's written. I'm more than willing to copyedit it if you can find some more sources for the article (I'd have a go myself, but should in fact be doing research for assignments), which should cut down on the amount of work required to get what seems to be a pretty interesting event on the main page. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Update: I've rewritten as much as I can. Drop me a line on my Talk page if there are things I've misinterpreted or if you want me to have another go. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Afd on Blue Frog

I don't know how to Afd but if you'd Afd for me with the reason of "Dead software, website, and company" I'll appreciate it. Mapletip 17:53, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I think it would have been more productive to explain to mapletip how the article deletion process works, rather than do the steps your self. As you said, it is unlikely that there will be a consensus to delete since this article doesn't violate any of the WP guidelines. The AfD process tends to burn a bunch of time for many people. I had typed in a message to mapletip's user page when I found that you had already modified the page. This is just for future reference, not much can be done now that wouldn't make things even more time consuming. Wrs1864 18:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Qiandao Lake, and other things

Hey, I'm officially back from break for one day. Will be gone for the next week... So, well done on Qiandao Lake. I was going to correct Chunan --> Chun'an County, but someone's done that already. Other than that, I don't see any problems, so good work. I'll add stuff to it at some point. Also, thanks for participating in the discussion on Talk:China.

Please remove the link to User:AQu01rius/Websites in your signature, it gives the appearance of spamming. It won't help the site's Google ranking much anyway, as talk pages are "nofollow".

[edit] Your comment at Tango's RFA

Hi AQu01rius. In your reply to Mike1 at Tango's RFA, you said that you weren't sure whether his comment was a support or not. In fact, even if he leaves no comments, there are several ways to find out. First, you can check which column he left his !vote in. 99% of the time, non-indented comments in the support column are in favor of the candidate becoming a sysop. Secondly, you can check the history and see what they used for an edit summary. In this case, Mike's edit summary specifically said "support". And last of all, you can check whether he updated the tally at the top of the page; in fact, he did, adding a number in the first space of the tally (in fact, he added two, because the first person forgot.) You can safely assume that Mike meant to support Tango. Picaroon9288 02:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Vancouver

Thank for you reformating the WikiProject page. It's a task I was just starting, and finding that I did not have the time for. It looks much better. I'll be doing some more organizational work on dividing the task list into subpages and categories. Also the main page will have more content added to it:

  • Five Point Plan
  • Major Pending Tasks for each category:
    • People
    • Arts and Culture
    • Buildings and Structures
    • etc. etc.

While its good to have the tasks on a subpage, it would be ideal to have the main page detail each subpage so users can read and have a sense what is going on with each without having to go into each subpage. Much of how the article Vancouver is set up and then having detailed subpages such as the History of Vancouver. I also have several other sections I want to add that our WikiProject is missing. Eventually I would like to see the Colaboration of the Month phased out as it has been proven to be in-effective, nor stable enough to get articles done in a month's time. Hopefully our Five Point Plan will be its replacement. Other additions such as a Show Case will be finer details. This project was based off of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ottawa but as our project has evolved to become more elaborate, we should be moving closer in the direction of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_London. I hope this helps give you an idea for where I would like to see the project go. Perhaps this will not take too long to implement. Mkdwtalk 09:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:China

Will you please respond to my objections at Portal talk:China to your changes? --Ideogram 18:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Ideogram has requested that I protect the pages in question, however it seems to me that the better solution would be to invite you to the discussion page in question and ask you to both have a chat about the changes before making any, since there's tension around these changes and it seems a mite disruptive to go through the hassle of protecting a dozen pages just because two editors can't come to some agreement or compromise. It'd be the nice thing to do, you know. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 02:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Germany

Welcome, AQu01rius/Archive, to the WikiProject Germany! Please direct any questions about the project to its talk page. If you create new articles on Germany-related topics, please list them at our announcement page and tag their talk page with our project template {{WikiProject Germany}}. A few features that you might find helpful:

  • The project's Navigation box points to most of the pages in the project that might be of use to you.
  • Most of the important discussions related to the project take place on the project's main talk page; you may find it useful to watchlist it.
  • We've developed a number of guidelines for names, titles, and other things to standardize our articles and make interlinking easier that you may find useful.

Here are some tasks you can do:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of the more experienced members of the project, and we'll be very happy to help you. Again, welcome, and thank you for joining this project! Sorry for spamming you so late ;-) and thanks for the reversion at the Portal page, I don't need another outside frame that eats space that I need to show my images even at 800x600 resolution.

[edit] IRC chat for WikiProject Taiwan

Hey, why don't we set up an IRC channel for the WikiProject? It'd be great way to collaborate in real time. It's also a better way to discuss disputed articles and find out a solution on how we can fix the problem. 99% of the time, arguments are just misunderstandings that end up wasting all of our time in the form of edit warring. If we can discuss the issues in real time, the quicker it is that we can all agree on constructive editing. Heck! We could even delegate sections of articles to each individual or team to research and write. — Nrtm81 16:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
