[edit] Gokturks

Thanks! I guess I didn't notice that. —Khoikhoi 07:52, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yuezhi map

Hi Guss2. A map has to be put on Wikipedia Commons for it to be usable on all Wikipedias. I just did this. Regards. PHG 22:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Will Cuppy

I see that it's not (yet) in the Will Cuppy article; but the chapter on Alexander in The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody spoofs the whole Alexander-as-an-apostle-of-world-peace to the top of its bent. Septentrionalis 17:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Daxia/Bactria

Hi Guss2. Thank you for your note on the problems surrounding the articles on Daxia (Ta-Hsia) and Bactria. you brought up a nmber of very important but rather thorny issues. I have just written a reply which I have posted on the Ta-Hsia Talk Page [1]. Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you disagree with any of them or just want to discuss something further.

All best wishes,

[edit] Yuanmou Man

Hi Guss2, thank you for your note and your help with the Yuanmou Man article. I am by no means an expert, so I cannot answer your question. It is my understanding that the two major theories of human origin - Recent single-origin hypothesis and Multiregional hypothesis - are both being debated as viable alternative propositions, while Polygenism appears to be a historical concept. It appears to me then that the so-called Asian hypothesis, if I understand it correctly, is a revived polygenetic theory? In any case I am looking forward to your article when translated into English (sorry, my Dutch is too limited). Ekem 19:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] translation Image:National history-dongyi.jpg?

The legend reads "area of the Dong-i/Dongyi ethnicity" and "sphere of influence of Gojoseon/Gao Chaoxian". I thought you could guess what it meant because you wrote several articles on Chinese history. --Nanshu 02:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

You ought to add evidence of Eiorgiomugini's problematic behaviour to the ongoing RfC. We may need it later. --Ghirla-трёп- 14:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Draft History of Qing

Hi Guss,

You recently added a reference to this article, but references should only indicate the sources used to write the article. Were you about to add information, or did you actually need a "See also" section instead? --Bowlhover (talk) 16:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Are you sure the heading 'references' is used only for sources actually used for writing an article, and other useful literature should be put under the capture 'see also'? I thought that section should contain references to other articles on wikipedia itself; articles which are closely related to the subject treated in the main article. But if I am wrong, please let me know where I can find the right rules for using 'the 'references' and the 'see also' sections. Thank you. Guss2 (talk) 21:12, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
The references section should indeed only mention sources used to write the article. "See also" sections are for internal links to other Wikipedia articles, the heading "External links" indicates useful websites other than Wikipedia, and "Further reading" is for miscellaneous sources of information. WP:Manual of Style is a useful source of general information.
Sorry for taking a long time to respond, and have fun editing! --Bowlhover (talk) 00:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
