[edit] Taichung entry

Firsfron: Thank you for coming to make a contribution to the Taichung page. I am trying to do a complete overhaul of the page to bring it up to to WikiProjects City standards. It is a time consuming process. Unfortunately, I have an unregistered user sabotaging my efforts by reintroducing unsourced and false information.

I have tried to intitiate discussion with him on the talk page, but as yet there is no response.

Your help would be appreciate.

== Ludahai (10/4/06 00:46 UTC/08:46 Taiwan time)

Hi Ludahai,
What seems to be the problem? I'll help if I can. Also, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). Best wishes, :) Firsfron of Ronchester 07:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ludahai,
Thanks for your note. We rarely semi-protect pages from editing, unless there's some severe vandalism going on from IPs. I'm not really familiar with the subject, but it doesn't appear to me that the anons in question are actually vandalizing. I really recommend that you leave a friendly note on their respective talk pages before pursuing page protection. Just ask them why they're adding what they're adding. Remind them of Wikipedia's NPOV and other policies. If you still have trouble, let me know, but please always try to work it out with the users first. Best wishes and happy editing :) Firsfron of Ronchester 07:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I realise I am a little late in getting here. Ditto what Firsfron said. The anonymous ips are not vandalising in the true sense of the word. However, if you feel the disruption is going on very much, then you might want to check out Requests for page protection where an adminstrator will hear your case and decide. Hope this helps.-- thunderboltz(Deepu) 17:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for explaining; for someone who knows nothing about Taiwan, it was hard to tell what was happening. I see you have left notes for the anonymous users. That is always the first step in these types of situations. I've semi-protected the page for now; those who wish to contribute can create an account or explain why they edited the page in that manner. Semi-protection is only a temporary solution. Happy editing :) Firsfron of Ronchester 17:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About revert and other notes

Hello! Welcome in the community! :) I can't protect the page, I'm not an administrator, my request for adminship is being held now. You asked: "Also, how do I revert the page to a previous edition."

You click on the history of the page. You just have to click on the version which you would like to be the current version. And save the page. That's all. Hope it helps. Have a good time here! :) NCurse work 11:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions about user page and info boxes

Hey Ludahai! Here are some answers to your questions. I hope they help. :)

1. I have started working on my userpage. Where is there a list of the boxes that you have on the right of your page? I would like to include relevant ones on mine.

Wikipedia:Userboxes contains a lot of good info, and near the bottom, it has a list of links to places to find specific userboxes, organized in categories. There are thousands of userboxes.

2. How do you create an Infobox? I would like to make one for the TAIMUN conference pages I am working on.

Wikipedia:List of infoboxes gives an overview of the types of infoboxes. You just need to find one that is appropriate to the Taimun conference. :)

3. How do you nominate someone for a barnstar?

No need to nominate anyone, as awarding Barnstars to users is a very informal process. Just stick a barnstar on their talk page, telling them why you're giving them an award. WP:BS gives more info. :)

Good luck with building your userpage, and happy editing! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 22:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Congrats on your 100th edit, Ludahai! "Many happy returns"! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 02:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taichung International Standard Baseball Stadium

I have added a category for baseball venues in Japan as well as a stub for baseball. I have also removed the context and uncat templates based on the changes made. You can find additional categories to add by looking at Wikipedia:Categorical index. Erechtheus 14:31, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taichung and Barnstar

Hi Ludahai,

Thanks for the barnstar! So nice of you to give me one. I wanted to say thanks, and also thanks for your many Taichung-related entries. With you editing the pages, the article will look great in no time. :) If you have further issues with the anonymous editors, feel free to leave a note on my talk page, but, as always, try to discuss the edits with them first. Take care! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 04:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stadium

I'm actually on a mini-wiki-break but happened to see this. If you believe the article is no longer a stub, please feel free to remove the stub template. Thanks for writing me about it since you believed that I might have a problem with the removal. Erechtheus 12:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Later Jin Dynasty

There is a problem here. Currently, there is a redirect to send any entries that list Later Jin Dynasty to a page entitled Jin Dynasty. However, there is a Later Jin Dynasty that existed during the Five Dynasties period currently entitled Later Jin Dynasty (Five Dynasties). However, current formatting would make that page difficult to access directly, and there is little justification for the redirect page.

Could the redirect page be deleted so I can rename the existing Later Jin Dynasty page to be consistent with the other Five Dynasties pages? I have been expanding the existing stubs and will be adding pages for the other two dynasties for which there is no existing page.

Thanks. Ludahai 00:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ludahai!
I've moved the page. Later Jin Dynasty (Five Dynasties) now redirects to Later Jin Dynasty, a simpler and easier title, and something people might actually search for. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 02:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CPBL

Thanks, I sure am glad the Lions advanced. The Bulls are formidable, too. It was an exciting round.

I got the seasonal ranking from the CPBL website, and drawn the other information from either my brain or Yahoo! Taiwan. However, I'm not sure what you mean by all time placing, I guess you are refering to the overall ranking/record for a whole season. I actually calculated them from the half-season records from each team, the brute-force and perhaps the only way it can be done. It took me a lot of time to do just one team, and I took it off when you ask me to change the format for the other teams (too mcuh work).

kc0616 08:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I do remember something about the defunct teams, if I have time I will write about them. However, I don't know a lot about TML teams.

The Challenger Cup is the name I gave to the 挑戰盃, loosely translated into "Challenge Cup," and it is post-season. Until the season of 1995, the championship series were played by champions from first and second half-season, and in the event that both half-seasons were won by the same team, the team automatically won the title of seasonal champion. The Challenger Cup was introduced to at least have something in the post-season, but the idea was not all that popular, and attendance was very low. The system of Taiwan Series is somewhat a combination of the Challenger Cup and the Championship Series. Also, the winner of the Challenger Cup recieves no recognition or prize, which is why I considered it an exhibition series.

[edit] Taichung City

Hello Ludahai, I'll have to admit that I signed on to WikiProject Cities, but honestly I spend more time at WikiProject Architecture. I've had a look at this article since you asked, and like what I see, especially that you are citing and referencing. What I would suggest as you make the way toward featured article is to find a couple more sources, try to expand the length of each paragraph, try to merge bullet pointed lists into paragraph form, and merge some sections to reduce the table of contents length. Sounds like a lot I know, but it looks good so far. Maybe also find an overview image of the city, such as image:Shuan 2004 001 Taichung.jpg, which is a little smoggy, but still shows the big picture needed for conveying the sense of a city. I added links to Taichung at the Commons so look around there if you haven't already. You can always post at Peer review for more input. Regards, DVD+ R/W 06:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I joined the project just a few days ago and know nothing about how the articles should look like. At first glance the only thing I'd like too see changed is a statment if the population is in the city or if it's the metropolitan area that has over 1 million. --Krm500 08:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ludahai. I'm on a WikiBreak right now, but I'd be happy to look at the article in terms of layout etc, when I return. I'm pretty new to the Cities project, though I have created two other projects (one is a city project). Good luck with it. :) --Mal 01:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

Auroranorth would like to nominate you to be an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Auroranorth to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ludahai. If you accept the nomination, you must formally state your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.

[edit] Traffic hazard

On thing about bureaucrats that works is accountability. I recommend that you take the time to write, express your concerns, and share the horror of the 1988 Kentucky incident. It will get some attention, thought, and even possibly, corrective action. Even if not corrected, you will also have a bit of peace of mind that you did what you could instead of silently knowing the hazard and waiting for the "bad one". Mark Vaoverland 17:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taichung

International cities are not my area of better stregths, but, hey, we are all learning, right? It looks very complete to me. one thing: Wikipedia has recently gotten intense about citing your sources (WP:CITE). Try hard to get reference data for those note din your article. best of luck. mark. Vaoverland 17:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. The page looks fairly complete (from my layman point of view), but from a graphic point of view you could perhaps stylise/position your tables (elections, etc) and make some of your pictures larger/more varied. Why don't you simply put the article up for Peer review? Anyhow, looks as though you're almost there. Good luck! THEPROMENADER 21:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

That's OK Ludahai, I was honoured to nominate you. Whenever you feel ready to become an administrator, I will gladly nominate you at your request. Auroranorth (your nominator) Auroranorth 10:23, 18 October 2006 (UTC) PS: Well done on the Taichung article.

[edit] 960

FYI, when you created 960 disestablishments, I think what you meant was to make Category:960 disestablishments. I've gone ahead and created the new category, and flagged the old page for speedy-deletion. If you intended something else though, please let me know. --Elonka 05:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. I ran into the article by accident during a sweep for uncategorized articles, and it was actually fortuitous because I've done quite a bit of work with the establishment/disestablishment categories. If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to call on me. :) --Elonka

[edit] Rockpocket's RfA

Heya. I saw your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rockpocket, and thought I should draw your attention to my reply at that page, just as a courtesy. Cheerio, Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 10:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wang Jian vs. Gaozu of Former Shu as article title

Hi -- I see your reason for moving the article from Wang Jian to Gaozu of Former Shu. However, using posthumous name or temple name is only done if the person is better known by posthumous name/temple name than by personal name. (See, e.g., Cao Pi for a counter example.) I think Wang Jian is better known by personal name, and therefore the article should be moved back. Thoughts there? (For more information, see Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(Chinese).) --Nlu (talk) 09:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

For your contributions to Chinese history-related articles, you are awarded the Barnstar of National Merit. --Nlu (talk) 10:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taiwan/Chinese Taipei

Hmmm, that's a tough one. From what I see in the international press they're using the Chinese Taipei name, just like in all other sports involving Taiwan. With you living there I'm sure you are the one that knows the most about all this, but I think, from what I see we need to use the name Chinese Taipei, also on this tournament. We can however make an addition in the introduction of the article on what you are just saying on my talk page, to clarify what is happening. Would that make sense? Anyways, I think it's very nice that you are going there and try to provide pictures. If you can take good pictures or face shots of the Netherlands players that would be much appreciated, so I can use them and start articles about these players. Cheers, SportsAddicted | discuss 06:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hi Ludahai. I wanted to thank you with flowers (well, flower) taking the time to participate in my RfA, which was successful. I regret that I was unable to earn your support at this time and acknowledge on occasion that I, like many editors, find myself being a bit too bold. You can be assured I have taken your comments on board and will work to address them in future. Now, more than ever, please do let me know if I can be of assistance and especially if you spot me making an error. Many thanks once again. Yours, Rockpocket 07:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] non existing links

If a link like Philippines national baseball team does not exist, it doesn't mean that it should not be used. People might get interested in making the article. If you remove it and only link it with The Philippines and the article will be written in the future it will not be a direct link towards the correct article. SportsAddicted | discuss 08:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

What does it matter what color a link has? Anyways, the article is created, so you can use it in the article again. Cheers, SportsAddicted | discuss 08:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Netherlands in green

You are right, I didn't see the possibility for Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), but you are right, they still have a (small) chance. SportsAddicted | discuss 13:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

LOL what did he say in the press??? SportsAddicted | discuss 14:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I see, wow, it wasn't mentioned at all here. I think they should have let us know what happens there, not just the result and a report without missing on that part. Thanks for explaining. SportsAddicted | discuss 05:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Wow you are a busy guy. I can see what I can do, I can at least update them, but they won't probably be there minute by minute like you did. I see you are also playing badminton. I have a badminton tournament tonight here. Good luck and have a great weekend. SportsAddicted | discuss 06:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] US Time, please

I'm going to put the Daisuke Matsuzaka story back in the Tuesday November 14 Current events:Sports page as it was announced on that day in the USA. NoseNuggets 8:23 PM US EST Nov 15 2006.

[edit] Taiwan

I mostly prefer to what the organisation name the national team, well known or not well known is not a matter in Wikipedia, but the official name must be use. Except organisation official site have note it as Taiwan. Or, that is unneeded. --Aleenf1 04:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, i'm only support what organisations use. Wikipedia is not a political debate channel. And what people don't know? they will know after read Chinese Taipei article, this should be not cause any discussion, if you not make it difficult. --Aleenf1 09:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
i'm not consistent, sorry, i'm not think so. List of IOC country codes is only to make clear. You can browse thousand of article use Chinese Taipei, but not note Taiwan behind. --Aleenf1 09:23, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm hypocrisy, haha, I guess you are Taiwanese, so you always say the Taiwan name is true in declaration. However, i'm use the official name, so who is more, try to think about. And this is consider more personal attack and did not respect to what is oficially claim. I'm not sure your in your mind, but if you continue to add Taiwan, as you do in pass. Sorry, i'm not maing way for you. I'm say before, if viewers know why is Chinese Taipei and not Taiwan, they can read Chinese Taipei article, and no need to add Taiwan is thousand piece of article. However, you didn't. You always claim what you do is right. Thinking back, is that really needed if Wikipedia already provide sufficient acknowledgement and viewers can search Chinese Taipei in a second. I'm not agree what you do is right. --Aleenf1 07:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Try to provide example, please (in sports area), where the article shown (taiwan) behind Chinese Taipei (except add by yourself), i'm likely to know. And my english is intermediate, that mean you can help to improve, and not to critics, not everyone is well in speaking English.
They should read why is Chinese Taipei, your adding is right, but you could cause a heavy confusion (indeed new Wikipedians wonder is Chinese Taipei or Taiwan should be use). A wikipedia viewers will access via net (as general) and can read Chinese Taipei, there have complete information, not to add behind Chinese Taipei all, did you know why is Chinese Taipei, did you read that article? not you add Taiwan just from interviewing people? This is Wikipedia, it can link thousand article, and it have policy also --Aleenf1 07:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, i cannot give you greenlight, i will discuss it first with Admin and show the result to you. No need to reply, i will. --Aleenf1 07:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Many article did not do this, indeed not in basketball and football because this is what WikiProject claim, thats why i'm not give you greenlight, yeah i'm not control but i'm respect to WIkiProject. Whatever you say... --Aleenf1 07:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

You no need to request for comments anymore in Asian Games page, link to this page (Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) #Chinese Taipei and Taiwan, the general comment. So, begin this seconds, i'm do my job as in comment. So, your future editing is under my watchlist now. If you want to ask why not use People's Republic of China etc, please talk at Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports Olympics, they is guideline in every Olympic page. Thank you --Aleenf1 10:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please wait

I removed the baseball item from the Current Events: Sports page as the date in question had not opened up at that time. Please wait until the date is released (or scroll down to the bottom and click "Edit this page" and place the item in question beforehand.) Thanks. NoseNuggets 3:39 AM US EST Nov 19 2006.

Easy Ludahai, from what I see on your talk page he wasn't complaining about you opening the date (19th), but there was already a section about the 19th hidden in the content page and all you needed to do was making that visible instead of just adding the contant you wanted to share above the current day, that's all. Anyways, NoseNuggets could have moved it to the proper place instead of deleting it. SportsAddicted | discuss 08:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Just try not to get offended too easily, although I understand why you didn't like what happened. Thanks for your congratiulations on the silver medal, however the gold was in reach. 11 innings is always exciting and unfortunately we were not able to win it. I think I can congratulate you too with a deserved bronze medal here. SportsAddicted | discuss 09:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
I see, didn't knew that you were missing key players. Looks like good medal chances at the Asian Games then, are the Japan/Korea teams at the Asian Games stronger as well do you think? SportsAddicted | discuss 09:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

i was about to create an article for this sport when i came upon a reference that said "Sepaktakraw is the official name of the sport..." spelled one word. the common and more popular way i usually see is the two-word variety. the wiki article for this sport is titled Sepak Takraw. the International and the Asian federation uses Sepaktakraw..what should we use here? can we have a consensus on thisRebSkii 20:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

yes i do. i have all the mascots in their respective sports in my computer. however, i'm still waiting for the Doha Asian Games Committee's approval on the use of all mascots. the first mascot given approval (which was made a year ago) was Orry the Sprinter the one used in the main article, and then i asked for the Softball mascot, which was given approval. however, all images have to have approval to avoid copyvio. thanks.RebSkii 16:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball at the 2006 Asian Games

i'm sorry if i sound stinky but a couple of your statements at the article Baseball at the 2006 Asian Games is POV. please provide citations or reword. thanks.RebSkii 18:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

because it is obviously POV. when you say "USA is a medal favorite", it is POV. it has to be presented in a manner without bias or reword in an NPOV manner. Wikipedia does NOT cite sources from it's own articles as per WP:CITE so a wikilink can not be considered a source. also as per WP:NPOV, "all Wikipedia articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly, proportionately and without bias." instead of saying "Brazil is a medal favorite in football" rather say "Brazil is one of the powerhouse countries in football" thus, eliminating the idea that only Brazil is the powerhouse country, in a way not eliminating the views of others. according to WP:NOT, "Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought" "Although current affairs may stir passions and tempt people to "climb soapboxes" (i.e. passionately advocate their pet point of view), Wikipedia is not the medium for this. Articles must be balanced so as to put entries for current affairs in a reasonable perspective. Wikipedia authors should strive to write articles that will not quickly become obsolete." What if Burkina Faso loses it's swimming stance and never recover? then the information that "Burkina Faso is a medal favotire in swimming" becomes obsolete. In the simplified ruleset WP:SR it states "The obligation to provide a reputable source is on editors wishing to include information, not on those seeking to remove it." well it can be a given fact that "Suriname is a medal favorite" but then again, looking at WP:1SP "Even if you think you know something, you have to cite references anyway to prove to the reader that the fact is true." i'm not gonna ask you to remove or delete such statements,it is not necessary, just provide citation-a reliable source at that-which will make the article NPOV - RebSkii 16:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

This seems more of a content dispute than actual vandalism, particularly as I note you did not fully revert to the earlier version. I recommend you use a talk page and discuss the situation, if possible. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 05:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

due to the recent act of "content dispute" (which i consider vandalism) at the article Chinese Taipei at the 2006 Asian Games, i will raise this issue to village pump and will propose that anyone who calls ROC/Taiwan/Chinese Taipei as a province of China should be considered vandalism and should be deleted. -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rebskii (talk • contribs) 07:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
and then i forgot to sign my post. anyway, i raised this issue at village pump: here your input is highly appreciated --RebSkii 19:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Papal Numbering

Recent example: 1978. Hello 'Ludahai' I've seen the Papal succession dates, you've added to the Papal transition years. Though the dates are correct, I found the Papal numbering doesn't add up. If Benedict XVI is (and he is) the 265th Pope, John Paul II is the 264th (not 262nd) & John Paul I the 263rd (not 261st) etc. Your numbering if off by two. GoodDay 23:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, if John Paul II is the 262nd Pope & Benedict XVI is the 265th Pope. Who were the 263rd & 264th Pope? GoodDay 23:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Benedict III was Pope from 855 to 858. Again, who were the 263rd & 264th Popes OR is Benedict XVI the 263rd Pope NOT 265th? GoodDay 23:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I may start, to correct your numerical mistakes, alright? There's definitly 2 Popes missing. GoodDay 23:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I've fixed up from John Paul II (1978) to Pius IX (1846), you can take over from there (if you want). GoodDay 23:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
You mean, the Vatican (itself) got it wrong? The Vatican, numbers Benedict XVI as the 265th Pope. GoodDay 00:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not disputing you personally. It just strikes me that the Vatican would have the correct numbers. I've asked a third User to join in (the discussion), to help us out with our conflicting sources. GoodDay 00:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Here they are: Page.590 of John A. Hardon's Mondern Catholic Dictionary published 1980 & the Catholic Encyclopedia. GoodDay 01:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Alos see Talk: Pope Benedict XVI#Archive 18. For prevouis Papal numbering debates. GoodDay 01:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Howabout Annuario Pontificio, considered the most authorative list of Popes. On their list,Benedict XVI comes out as the 265th Pontiff. GoodDay 01:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Also see Wikipedia article List of popes. GoodDay 02:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
PS- How can I tell you which 2 Popes are missing? When I haven't got your list? GoodDay 02:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I'll check it out (it'll take awhile), don't forget to count up the Popes on the List of popes. GoodDay 02:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I found the Pope, and I should have known. Benedict IX is the solution, the Vatican recognises Benedict IX as the 145th, 147th & 150th Pope. Benedict IX served 3-nonconsecutive reigns as Pope. So the Pontiffs (by reign) add up to 265 (Benedict XVI included). Yes Benedict XVI was the 263rd person to serve as Pope, however he's the 265th Pope. GoodDay 03:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm signing out, for the night. Hope my findings help, perhaps we can pickup this discussion tommorow. GoodNight. GoodDay 03:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I'm back. You have to count Benedict IX three times. That'll straigten out the numbering. GoodDay 15:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Here's the example: 144th - John XIX; 145th - Benedict IX; 146th - Sylvester III; 147th - Benedict IX; 148th - Gregory VI; 149th - Clement II; 150th - Benedict IX; 151st - Damasus II. GoodDay 15:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I've corrected the Papal transitional years, 1045, 1046, 1047, 1048 & 1049. From here on out, all pontiffs after Leo IX, will have to be re-numbered bringing the total up to 265. GoodDay 16:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Have begone to re-edit Post Leo IX transitional years, beginning with 1055. GoodDay 21:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Ended correction at 1159 Pope Alexander VIII's election. Will continue in future. GoodDay 22:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Make that, Pope Alexander III. GoodDay 23:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese Taipei Baseball

As I noted on the talk page, I agree with the change because it includes information from the pre-Chinese Taipei in historical sporting usage. I have proposed the insertion of more historical information to further justify the name change. ludahai 魯大海 23:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Can i say i support the name change. Aight, i would like to put an infobox for the artivle but i havent got an idea how to create it. I have also gather some sources for you, please find them in the external link section. Changchih228

[edit] Papal Numbering II

Hello Ludahai, I've completed the re-numbering of the Popes (numberings backed by Vatican). Now it adds up to 265. GoodDay 21:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Hengchun Earthquake

My pleasure. I actually just noticed a slight problem with your move, in that you capitalized "Earthquake". I believe that WP:MOS or some other guideline suggests that it should be lowercase. :-/ Gzkn 09:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, looks like you fixed it even before I posted here. :) Gzkn 09:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asiad template

[edit] WikiProject Cities Participation

Hi, your name is on a list of active members for WikiProject Cities. We have recently revitalized the project by including an article assessment department. Presently there is a great deal of work to complete in rating/tagging all of the 1000+ article which have not been assessed or tagged with the new {{WPCities}} banner template. Further, we have made changes to {{Infobox City}} that require some formatting changes in the articles that use the template. Your assistance at this time of change would be greatly appreciated.

[edit] Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub Article Expanded for Southern and Northern Dynasties Article

Hi, I'm new to joining wiki. I have a question: besides telling you and making you aware here, how do I report that I expanded a stub article so that it can be removed from the stub list? I recently expanded the Southern and Northern Dynasties article (citing my source), since it was a pathetic stub that sorely needed expanding (lol). I added two new sections: the Northern Dynasties and the Southern Dynasties; I hope you like the improvements!

--PericlesofAthens 05:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind about that! After reading the "help" link where the stub notice was located in the article, I found out what to do. It is a stub no longer...

--PericlesofAthens 06:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome, I will contribute more soon once I find some stubs that are in dire need of expanding.

--PericlesofAthens 16:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Again

I just expanded the "Far East" section of Painting by about 90% (lol), with a new History of Chinese Painting sub-section. It looks very good now, two new pics within the body of paragraphs, and two external links to pics located in the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Museum, Washington D.C. (the latter two are exceptionally good, two of the best examples of Song and Ming era paintings that I've ever seen).

[edit] Needing Help With Photo Copywright

Hi once more, I have a question about a recently uploaded photo that I want to use for Liuhe Pagoda of China. The article lacked any picture, and it really needs one, considering that it is one of the greatest Song Dynasty (or any) Chinese pagoda standing today.

The image is found at this link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Liuhe_Pagoda.jpg

If you would be so kind, I'd like to have you or somebody else verify the copywright license (it's some random American guy's vacation blog pic). In the meantime, I have given it the GFDL presumed tag, but if I do not verify the copywright stuff, it will be deleted in 7 days!

Thanks for your help, --PericlesofAthens 05:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Vandalized

After a lot of work on the article that I have done, someone has just vandalized the Song Dynasty article. I hope nothing is truly lost, because every time you try to open the page, the only thing that comes up is this: "The Song Dynasty is very cool. What it is? I don't know Stop asking me!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! retard." I also put a lot of work into the Tang Dynasty, and here's what the Tang Dynasty says when you open the page.

".kjchdfgkjflkdsjfids crap poop caca popp" - most disturbing about this one is, when you go to edit the page, there is nothing there except this message.

I don't know if everything is lost because of that, but I hope not. Can you reques to have this page locked to new users and non-members? I put a lot of work into it, and I hate to see it all go to pot because of some useless prick.

--PericlesofAthens 16:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

-->Nevermind, they've been fixed. But I would like to request that they be protected, just how the Zhou Dynasty article already is.

--PericlesofAthens 21:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peer Review for Song Dynasty

Hi again. I know I've been leaving you a bunch of messages and all, but this has been going out to several others. Recently I've put a considerable amount of work into the Song Dynasty article. I've gotten a bit of feedback from others, but I'd like to get your views, opinions, and suggestions on it. It's very close to featured article status in my opinion, but if you could also offer your advice, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

[edit] help wanted

I need your help. I am a new member of wikipeida. I find the article of "Tibet" or "history of tibet" in wikipeida is very biased towards pro-independent Tibetans. I have strong evidence to prove what I said. I made some edit and added some important facts. However, they are deleted. The problem is: I am not familiar with the rules of wikipeida and I probable won't have time to get familiar with it. So, I need your help so that truth can be known by people. You can find my deleted versions in the history of that topic. The main source of my information is in the following. This is probably the most complete and detailed information source on the Tibet issue. But it is not listed in the reference list of Tibet page yet. I remember the content of this website is from Chinese government’s white paper on Tibet issue. If you go to the official website of Tibetan in exiles, you will find that although they are very unhappy with these information. They could not point out any major problems about these facts. It would be better if you can have a quick look of this website and add whatever information you want.

"The historical status of tibet", by China internet information center. It cab be found at the website of:

www.china.org.cn/ch-xizang/tibet/historical_status/english/index.html

www.china.org.cn/ch-xizang/tibet/indexE.html


Many thanks.

[edit] Rename

Hi, sorry about renaming the article before engaging in the discussion. I wasn't aware of any previous agreement or consensus in the talk page. I think it is more NPOV and consistent to use the official name in the title. The main logo in the page also seems to use the official name. Please reply to the discussion in the talk page here. Regards, LionheartX
