[edit] Blocked
I have blocked you for one week for ongoing, serious pattern vandalism, generally destructive edits, and failure to communicate. All of your sockpuppets are indefinitely blocked. You were warned. When you come back, if you do, please heed the advice given to you and make an effort to explain your (bizarre) edits and gain consensus before making page moves. Otherwise, you will be blocked for longer periods of time.--Jiang 19:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't understand why my edits are "bizarre" and "destructive". How did I commit vandalism? I have never removed a single word from the articles, and I was always making things more proper. I have contributed so many high-quality photographs and pictures. Why do you always focus on the little negative side of my edits and never mention the large positive side? If you don't appreciate my contributions, I will remove all the photographs I have contributed. Otherwise, please provide examples to me if you have time. Highshines 04:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
You have been repeatedly moving pages without effort to discuss or observe consensus. You have arbitrarily removed categories, changed traditional characters to simplified, edited alternate text in the categories to ruin the alphabetization, uploaded copyrighted/unsourced images, and added unnecessary spaces in pinyin names.
Please refer to the page history of this talk page and the talk pages of your sock accounts for evidence of previous warnings. And refer to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Highshines.
If you would like to change the naming of empress articles, then propose a convention as I asked earlier. --Jiang 02:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Simplified characters are now the official characters of China, and are used throughout mainland China. Why should an article intruducing facts about China not use the the current official Chinese language characters? If a westerner reads your articles and remembers all the traditional characters and old-fashioned languages and goes to China, he would not be communicating effectively with the current Chinese people. Highshines 22:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (China-related articles) asks to use both. In the very least, traditional characters should be used since this concerns a historical topic predating the existence of simplified characters. If you try to read classical Chinese using simplified characters, there will be places where you would be more confused than if you used traditional. This is an encyclopedia discussing topics of high cultural literacy. Please don't insult the intellegence of the reader.--Jiang 23:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
I won't revert you if you add simplified to tradition, but you were removing traditional and replacing it with simplified. Please do not delete traditional characters...--Jiang 08:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] An image you recently uploaded
You recently uploaded Image:杨贵妃.jpg. I have re-uplaoded it to Image:Yang Gui-Fei.jpg and deleted the version you uploaded because this is English Wikipedia, and everything should be written in Latin characters. Please bear this in mind next time you upload an image. Thanks. JDtalk 23:28, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Images
Please stop destroying image formatting and aquaint yourself with Wikipedia:Picture tutorial and its associated pages. Generally, we frame an image if it is below 300px and we thumb it if it is above. And it is generally better to have an image caption. --Jiang 02:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Xiao Yi Chun
Hi Highshines i was wondering where u got that bit from about that she was also known as the Gong Shun empress. I have never seen that in any text nor article i have red about her.
- If you look at her full posthumous title, you will find the third and fourth characters are "Gong Shun". Qing Dynasty Empresses are named by the 3rd and 4th characters, such as the Long Yu Empress, Jia Shun Empress, Ci Xi, Ci An, etc.
thanks for the information:). In some cases thats true. This because they are better known that way in China and all over the world. But Empress Xiao Yi Chun and most other empresses are not. Empress Xiao Yi Chun is normally known as the mother of the Jiaqing emperor. In most chinese series they normally use the name "Consort Ling" like in the series "Pearl princess". What we could do is just add the full posthumous title to the article.

[edit] 香妃
The source link given at Image:香妃.jpg is dead. Are you sure the artist died before 1906? Who painted that picture, and what sources indicate s/he died before 1906?
- The author of this painting is Lang Shining, an Italian painter who came to China during Emperor Qianlong's reign, which is the 18th century (1700s). There is no way he can live pass 1906, because then, he would be about 200 years old. The longest living person in history is a French woman who lived to 122 years.

- Thank you! I've added that information so others won't have to ask you again. Wikipeditor 03:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
If you don't do so already, please consider uploading images to the Wikimedia Commons in the future, which would allow sister projects to use them. Thank you! Wikipeditor 03:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 文繡
Don't tell me Image:Consort Wen Xiu.jpg and Image:Wen Xiu.jpg were taken before she was born. Wikipeditor 04:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
