[edit] Current events

Hi hello, would you be interested to contribute to Current events in Hong Kong and Macao? best, — Instantnood 15:40, Jan 27 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DAB

The name of the merger of DAB and HKPA remains "Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong", according to the SCMP. Perhaps we can rename the original DAB article to "Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (1992 to 2005)", and place the article about the new party at "Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong". — Instantnood 03:08 Feb 28 2005 (UTC)

The name "Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong" was seen in another newspaper "The Standard". --Hello World! 07:32, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Let us wait until the two parties are formally merged. — Instantnood 15:59 Mar 4 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Mainland China" in titles

Hello. I have proposed at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese) to change the title of some articles and categories. Would you be interested to join the discussion and say something? — Instantnood 20:41, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Donald Tsang

Hi I noticed you have added an interwiki link to the Japanese version, but the entry there is now empty. Is it deleted or moved to somewhere else? Thanks. — Instantnood 20:28, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

The article should be at ja:曽蔭権. I have forgotten that some kanji used in Japanese are different from the Chinese hanzi. --Hello World! 07:35, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

I see. Thanks. — Instantnood 17:11, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wah Fu and Wah Fu Estate

I noticed you have added the {{merge}} and {{mergefrom}} tags on the two articles. I supposed the reason why they are two articles because the Wah Fu article is about the broader area comprises of Wah Fu and Wah Kwai estates. — Instantnood 14:59, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

I don't think there is such a district called Wah Fu. I have put my reason on Talk:Wah Fu.--Hello World! 15:01, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. I've responded there too. — Instantnood 17:26, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Collaboration

I think both Chinese and English HK Wikipedians need more collaboration, for example, translation and copyediting project. That's just my out-of-a-second brainchild. User:Tonync told me to find you 'cos you are "the most active Hong Konger over there," and "an admin" as well. Honestly, I think your advice would help in some ways. :) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 06:32, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

Is the Schwa (Cyrillic) also used in Uighur? Also, on your user page, are you saying you come from Hong Kong, or came from Hong Kong (and no longer live there)? Thanks ~ Dpr 17:21, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing out the mistake in my user page. I still like in Hk. Uyghur language once used Э(э) for [ɛ] sound, but Uyghur language is using Arabic alphabet in China now. See Uyghur_language#Writing_system. --Hello World! 06:44, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] It has ceased to be, it is an ex-open-proxy

Please unblock 210.0.201.213 as it is an IP used by me in my workplace. Thank you Hello World! 15:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

That's an easy one, they already closed that proxy down in response to an earlier request. Unblocked. Happy editing! --fvw* 19:53, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Sheung Shui minibus

Alright. Thanks for clarifying. See if it's better now. :-) [1] — Instantnood 14:44, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

It's interesting. :-) — Instantnood 08:32, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bắt đầu từ nay

My translation to English was as close as possible to the original Vietnamese while following English grammar. If you'd like to translate it into Chinese, let me know what you're having problem with and I might be able to help. A good tool is this Chinese-Vietnamese dictionary: [2]. You just need to type in Chinese characters in the box and it will give you the Sino-Vietnamese form of the word. DHN 05:29, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] zh-Hakka

You removed the English translation of the tab, but I think this should be kept in. The site is the en.wikipedia.org, and I believe it would be helpful for English language readers to know what the script in Chinese means. If you leave it out, it becomes just a mystery for non-readers of Chinese text, and on an English language site, that is exclusionary. Dylanwhs 09:44, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested moves

I have removed your requests for moving a number of templates here. There does not seem to be any discussion or consensus regarding the matter, so please repost once this has been done. I am also posting this on User talk:Mistress Selina Kyle, as I am not certain where the discussion should take place regarding these templates. Thanks. --HappyCamper 20:10, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

In your edit history, you have modified a tremendous number of templates. Leaving an edit summary "bismala language ought to be bi" in my mind does not constitute sufficient dialogue for the changes. Although boldness is good on Wikipedia, I'd highly encourage you to talk to other editors who have an interest in these templates to see what they think. I have been told that many of your changes have since been reverted, so this is probably a good indication that more discussion is necessary before the changes you propose are made. Why don't you leave a message for User:Mistress Selina Kyle and see what this Wikipedian suggests? Thank you for your understanding. --HappyCamper 22:09, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi! I'm removing your requests to move the four templates since there was no discussion or notice other than WP:RM created. If you wish to move those pages you'll need to create an area for discussion. Thanks! WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 21:35, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

It's back! Properly requested and discussion areas properly made, the move you requested a while ago can be discussed at Template talk:User bi. —BorgHunter (talk) 04:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Newton's laws

In your second edit, it looked on the difference page like you just took out all the interwiki links, that's why I reverted it. It looked like somebody playing around with test edits, an edit summary would have helped. Apparently you had just duplicated them in your first edit. Gene Nygaard 14:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: American English templates

I didn't realize it had already been created. However, the {{User AmE}} template is much more popular, already has its own category, and has been listed at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Non-ISO Languages. Also, the {{User AmE-0}} template was created much earlier, I think it would be best to just redirect {{User en-US}} to {{User AmE}}. --Schzmo 03:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proxy

If it's a transparent proxy and the developers (ie, Tim Starling) feel it can be trusted to transmit the correct underlying IP address, then there is a possible solution. I've left a message on his talk page, perhaps you can follow up with him. -- Curps 17:50, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject C++

The WikiProject C++ aims to increase the quality of C++-related articles on Wikipedia, and has discovered that you have participated in the editing of them! So don't hesitate, join us! --Deryck C. 15:42, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Az-nahcivan1.gif

I noticed that you tagged the page Image:Az-nahcivan1.gif for speedy deletion with the reason "already have Image:Az-nakh1.gif". However, "already have Image:Az-nakh1.gif" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use one of our other deletion processes, proposed deletion or articles for deletion if you still want the article to be deleted. Thanks! However, since you are the only contributor to the page, you can tag it with {{db-author}} to have it speedily deleted under criterion G7. Because images are not recoverable once deleted, I thought I'd just remove the tag and let you know rather than assuming that deletion under any criterion was what you wanted. Additionally, images that are redundant can sometimes be deleted using {{Redundant image}}, but that's not easy to judge. Hope this helps! Stifle 17:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Latin letter template

Ze and che are used in the Latin alphabet. They were borrowed from Cyrillic for Zhuang, just like Y and Z were borrowed from Greek. --Ptcamn 19:33, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] iso 639-1

your are my WP hero of the day for your edits at list of ISO 639-1 codes [3] - Tobias Conradi (Talk) 21:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ISO 15924

Since you edited ISO 15924 you may be interested in Template talk:User cyr and Category talk:User cyr. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Babel-N

Nice. Consolidating all the features of the other Babel templates into just Babel (the 'Babel-0' addition there was a good idea) and Babel-N allows alot of template cleanup and standardization. --CBD 13:11, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the Babel-N and Babel templates are basically parallel templates which just work a little differently. We could probaly have just one of them, but people have different preferences and it doesn't hurt to have both. I changed Babel-0 into a redirect to Babel. It and the other remaining redirects (Babel-X, Babel-1, Babel-2, Babel-3, and Babel-4) could probably be replaced on the individual user pages and then deleted. --CBD 14:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My userpage/Babel-1

It is crucial that {{Babel-1}} persist as something, whether it be the correct template or as a redirect, in my opinion.

I do a great deal of work on sister projects to ensure things like templates at least try to be consistent. Babel templates are some of the older templates in very widespread use. It would simply be idiotic to break existing things without syncronizing all WMF projects everywhere. Of course, to do that, you'd have to communicate with all sister projects in all languages first...

By keeping my userpage pointing to the old format, the likelyhood that some well-intentioned (short-sighted) idiot will delete the redirect is lower.

Edits to people's user pages without their permission is vandalism. You have been on WMF projects about the same amount of time as I have - you should know this by now. Please do not edit the template on my user page.

Thanks for your time,

--Connel MacKenzie - wikt 19:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bopomofo character

If you have one that needs encoding, I need evidence for it to get it encoded. -- Evertype·✆ 23:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I have made a draft proposal. Would you like co-author credit? -- Evertype·✆ 10:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
