[edit] Chinese name or Korean name?

The proper article name needs to be determined, for geographic features on the Chinese - North Korean border. Based on Wikipedia policies such as WP:NC, it appears that the most common name should be used. But there is argument as to which is more popular.

[edit] DYK

The DYK section featured on the main page is always looking for interesting new and recently expanded stubs from different parts of the world. Please make a suggestion.--Peta 01:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] China, PRC, Mainland China, and Hong Kong categorisation

I posted a note some time ago about categorisation relating to Hong Kong (and on the same basis, Macau) at the categorisation project page. I invite anyone interested in such matters to participate, either there on in some other centralised location. Similar issues seem to arise at any number of CFD and SFD debates, it would be good to have an agreed approach to the subject in general, rather than tackling them on a one-off basis every time.

[edit] Gojoseon

Image:Gojoseon4.png
Gojoseon (古朝鮮) ?

Recent edits made to Gojoseon (古朝鮮) suggest that Gojoseon covered all of Manchuria as far north as the Amur and Argun rivers and as far inland as the Greater Khingan Range. This appears to be a Breathejustice-like POV-push to me. If anyone's interested, can you take a look to see how legitimate the edits are? -- ran (talk) 19:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism likely in the next few months

The Academic Decathlon is a national high school academic competition. Each year a different topic is chosen. Last year's was the Renaissance in Europe; this year's is China. Most students use Wikipedia extensively. Last year there was some vandalism in the Renaissance pages by AD competitors. There is likely to be more this year in the China pages.

Just a heads-up.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mandarin Emperor style dildo

Can some veterans who know some Chinese take a look at the sources of thise article and verify their contents? - Mgm|(talk) 08:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Vernacular scripts

vote on the use of scripts--D-Boy 01:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nathu La Peer Review

Hi all,

I have started a Peer Review of Nathu La article. The article is very intimately linked to China. Since most of the editors to the article till now have been Indians, there is a chance that inadvertently pro-India POV may have crept in the article. I request the editors to provide inputs if they feel that the article presents the topic in non-neutral light. Of course, general comments on the article are also welcome. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 11:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Warlord era

Hello,

Though the Warlord era is definitely an important subject, I feel that this template is simply too large as it currently exists. I believe that it should be split into four parts, and have created sample templates that show this idea. They can be viewed by going to User:Danaman5/Workshop and clicking on the four "Warlord era"" links. Please leave any comments on my user talk page.

Thanks, --Danaman5 06:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] garbage

ladies and gentlemen, the Chinese language article is officially garbage.

"Both Guanhua and Putonghua are called Mandarin Chinese in the West but they are indeed different languages."
"China has had only two official languages in its entire history. 满语 Manyu, the Manchu language, was the first official language of China, from 1644 till 1912. 普通话 Putonghua has been the official language of China since 1958. Before 1958, no form of Chinese was ever the official language of China."—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 165.21.155.14 (talk • contribs).
One garbage section does not mean that the entire article is garbage. The garbage section is now removed however, thanks for putting the notice :)! AQu01rius (User • Talk) 04:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvios on Chinese articles

I found copyright violations on the following pages:

It's also possible that the following page violates copyright, at least in part:

These are NOT copyright violations. The referenced pages at www.iblio.org each contain text and images lifted from Wikipedia articles on or somewhat after 26 April 2006. Previous histories show the building of the articles from many contributions over a period of time. See in particular Imperial roof decoration and its talk page, (I contributed both of the images and most of the text associated with the article claimed to be the violated source). I have removed the tags that were posted by Elan (note that posting of copyvio tags has been the only contribution to WP by Elan). -Leonard G. 04:49, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
The website operator has responded to my notification of this matter and I have informed him of various options concerning licensing and display of text and images. This was due to an error in source verification of the work contributed by an intern and has been largely corrected, with some continuing effort required on his part to properly accredit images, or on my part, to release images contributed by myself under cc-sa to the public domain, which I have offered. - Leonard G. 00:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Octopus Card Featured Article Review

Octopus card has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. -- Chez (Discuss / Email) 00:38, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:SummerThunder

This user is currently pushing POV into the articles Blocking of Wikipedia in mainland China and Chinese Wikipedia. The same user has already been permanently banned in the Chinese Wikipedia for aggressive POV-pushing and personal attacks.

Please come take a look if you're interested. -- ran (talk) 01:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
