[edit] Kosaka Masanobu

Regarding your comment that Masanobu had a bisexual relationship with Takeda Shingen; do you have any citations to back that up, or is this just a random instance of vandalism? I'm going to remove it for now - if this is a genuine factoid, you're welcome to put it back, and supply some reference. Thanks. LordAmeth 22:11, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Takeda Shingen

Regarding your recent addition to the Takeda Shingen article, regarding a childhood tale of Shingen's relationship with Kenshin... some citation or the like would be appreciated. Shingen is a particularly legendary character - that is, legends tend to be written about him, many untrue. If this information is true, please incorporate it properly into the article and make some indication, here, on my talk page, or on the article's talk page, of where you got the story from and how valid it is. Thanks. LordAmeth 15:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fan Ceng

Thanks for creating the article. Looking forward to working with you on these Chinese history pages... --Nlu 16:24, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rome's chinatown

Would you please cite a source for the addition you made to Rome's page about chinatown?--Panairjdde 09:22, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

"For the Chinese, the issue is one of civic and human rights. "These rules are simply discriminatory. They apply only to Esquilino and only because of the Chinese," said Daniele Wong, an Italian-born Chinese activist who has mediated with city hall over the issue. "There's an atmosphere of yellow peril hysteria in Rome."
The article has it wrong. Esquilino (where I work) is already a sort of Chinatown, with most of the shops owned by Chinese immigrants. The problem is not the presence of foreign people, but the fact that most of the new shops are wholesale outlets, and "There are no butchers, no laundries. I have to go miles to buy mortadella," as the article stated. The law just requires that all the new owners of a 15 years old shop keep the same kind of business for two years; it is not related to the nationality of the ower. Furthermore, neither the major of Rome, nor the Romans, could use "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" as a rallying cry, because this is an English saying, not an Italian one.
Please, amend your contribution to Rome page accordingly. And remember to sign your contributions in the talk pages, just add --~~~~ at the end of the contribution.--Panairjdde 10:04, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Style

Hi, Hanchi:

I appreciate your edits greatly, but if you can, please try to be more careful with your style -- be more formal, be more grammatically correct, be better with your spelling. It would make you an even better editor. Thanks. --Nlu 22:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seven Samurai

I corrected a minor point in this article, and then you changed it back. Please look at the film again. It is KYUZO who says that he would like to kill all the villagers. B00P 00:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I am absolutely sure that it was the dour Kyuzo and not the amiable Heihachi who said it (mostly because I've watched the scene repeatedly just to check). Verify it for yourself. -B00P 06:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fist of the Blue Sky

You should be able to get the Souten no Ken manga through Amazon Japan! [1]. (That's the way I do it.) Evan1975 01:10, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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|T|C|M|E|Chugoku Banzai! 02:53, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It's true that Wikipedia has a eurocentric bias, so we can work to balance that. Meaning, we need your help! -- Миборовский U|T|C|M|E|Chugoku Banzai! 22:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
PS. There is no pressure to be a "high quality" contributor, every bit counts. Ancient Chinese military is just as relevant as modern, and we need editors knowledgeable in all these periods. -- Миборовский U|T|C|M|E|Chugoku Banzai! 22:38, 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|T|C|M|E|Chugoku Banzai! 01:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seven Warring States

Regarding this edit [2] that you made to Seven Warring States: What are the Chinese characters for the proverb "seven states in turmoil" to which you are referring? —Lowellian (reply) 21:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Hanchi, thanks for your quick response. Are you a native Chinese speaker? I've never heard the phrase 七國大亂, and when I asked someone who is a native Chinese speaker, she also had never heard the phrase before. Are you sure about that phrase? I have heard the similar phrase 七國之亂, but that's in reference to the Rebellion of the Seven States, not to the Seven Warring States, and anyway 七國之亂 is referring to the historical period and is not a Chinese proverb. If you could clear this up that would be great. —Lowellian (reply) 04:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

The thing is, "七國大亂" gets only 52 hits [3] on Google.hk, a tiny number, a pretty small number which I'm not sure is sufficient to make it a common Chinese proverb. By contrast, "七國之亂" gets 44,500 [4] — but again, that is the name of a historical period and is not a proverb. (By the way, you can sign your comments by typing four tildes like this: ~~~~.) —Lowellian (reply) 09:27, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help clearing up the matter. Happy editing! —Lowellian (reply) 10:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
