P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Very nice experience. Thanks! ---- Dictioner 05:06, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pinyin and CamelCase
Hello, Dictioner! Welcome to wikipedia. I don't think pinyin uses CamelCase as you have been doing. The second syllable is not capitalized. It's Jiang Zemin, not Jiang ZeMin. Cheers, Jiang 07:06, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Ok. Your way is more popular. The most important is to adopt one standard here at wikipedia. --Dictioner 07:48, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Images
I saw that you would like some images to be deleted. You can list them at wikipedia:images for deletion. --Jiang 08:11, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
OK.Thanks. --Dictioner 13:25, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Seven Wonders of the Medieval Mind
Hello Dictioner, what is the Seven Wonders of the Medieval Mind article all about, is it a list from a book and is there a lot of text to be added or is it simply list duplicated at Seven Wonders of the World. I ask mainly as it includes Stonehenge which significantly predates medieval times and even parts of the Great Wall of China was built in earlier times. MeltBanana 14:37, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Hi, MeltBanana. Actually I'm not an expert in this filed. I know The Porcelain Tower of Nanjing is one of the wonders. So tried to add the article and I search the web, and found this website wonderclub. Dictioner 15:55, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Seven Wonders of the Medieval Mind sources?
According to the edit history on Seven Wonders of the Medieval Mind, you appear to be the originator of the article [1]. Do you recall where the list came from, or even better, have sources that could be cited? It has been proposed that this article be merged with Seven Wonders of the World, however some editors have questioned the credibility of Seven Wonders of the Medieval Mind. Thanks, --Kralizec!
