Please add new points of discussion and questions about the article at the bottom of the page.

[edit] Too long tag

OK, I added the too long tag because the article is one of the longer ones on all of Wikipedia, and should be split into sub-articles. It's 3 or 4 times the suggested length. I'm going to add it back in; if you think there's a good reason to remove it, please explain why here. Also, please assume good faith; I was not adding the tags wantonly without a desire to engage on talk page. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 06:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, I think the article has reached its zenith and won't grow much longer anymore. I'm reluctant to reduce it as I don't want to lose important information. --Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 16:06, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm cutting, moving and reorganising the entire article to cut the size down. Don't mess with stuff like the references, etc or you'll throw me off. Only correct spelling/grammar/etc. --Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 01:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I've removed the {{toolong}} tag. I have reduced the article to almost half the length. Any more and it may degrade in quality. If anyone wants to comment on the result of my reworking of the article then please say so here. --Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 21:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles in other languages

OK, I've created two articles in Classical Chinese and Cantonese. So far, someone has expanded the Classical Chinese one to a good degree. I'll mess around with that if i feel like it (since my Classical Chinese is rather novice level). I'll probably expand the Cantonese one since I am Cantonese myself. I'm relectant to do anything with the Mandarin one as it will require a major rewrite to get it to any standard near the English one (it mostly consists of lists of books and a general introduction). I won't bother with the other languages that I don't know; any new articles in new languages will be linked to each other and the Commons article so they all connect to each other. --Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 16:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

My someone has been busy...

I'll move some external links to here to chop it down. Most of them are useful, but in order to comply...

[edit] Guqin project template

I've removed it form all guqin articles as I've decided to hang my wiki brush. I feel it is more or less complete. I will leave the article in the capable hands of Mr. Bagagnani and all those concerned. I will, of course, monitor the article and stop vandalism, etc. --Charlie Huang 【遯卋山人】 16:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
