[edit] You can use a template call instead

Hi Ramtears, I noticed you're adding a Navbox to a number of articles. Instead of pasting in the full Navbox code, it is better to put in the code {{The first Peoples Liberation Army Shang Jiang}}, which automatically adds the Navbox to the articles. This keeps the code all in one place (the template); thus, if the template needs to be changed all pages will be instantly updated instead of having to update them all at once. See the code of Gan Siqi for an example of how to do this. Also, don't put categories inside of <noinclude>...</noinclude> tags, as this prevents them from working properly. Thanks, --CapitalR (talk) 08:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Guanghua Temple

Hi, Ramtears, thanks for your information. I have moved Guanghua Temple to Guanghua Temple (Putian). You may create other Guanghua Temples. Please add categories and, if applicable, interlanguage links when you create articles. For example, there are zh:北京广化寺 and zh:洛阳广化寺 at Chinese Wikipedia. Adding interlanguage links can help readers and editors check articles' different language versions. And If you want to rename a page, you can use the move function (see Help:Moving a page). In order to restore the edit history and respect the contributions of previous editors, Wikipedia does not allow moving a page by cut and paste. For the information on how to create disambiguation page, please see Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Thank you so much for your contributions. By the way, please don't forget to add your signature to your message. A four tilde "~~~~" will automatically add your signature and the time. There is a button for signature at the menu on the top of the page. Thank you. --Neo-Jay (talk) 09:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Title Misspelling

Yes, you can move it to Sen-oku Hakuko Kan per its official website. But we may also keep Sen'oku Hakkokan as a redirect. There are 166 hits for Sen'oku Hakkokan by Google Search, even more than Sen-oku Hakuko Kan's 122 hits and Sen'oku Hakukokan's 49 hits. I think that all the other alternative spellings can be created as redirects. Even if Sen'oku Hakkokan is wrong, it's OK to leave it alone. Wikipedian allows some wrong spellings to be redirects, for example, United Kindom. For further information, see Category:Redirects from misspellings. Thank you.--Neo-Jay (talk) 03:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

Hi, I noticed that you created Zhang Yin (painter) and Zhang Yan (painter). Thanks for your contributions. But please add disambiguation information or create disambiguation page. Otherwise it will be very difficult for other readers to find the articles you created. I have changed Zhang Yin and Zhang Yan to be disambiguation pages. This is a common method for disambiguation. The other method is to create a special disambiguation page with the title "XXX (disambiguation)" if the title XXX has a primary use. For further information, see Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Thank you. --Neo-Jay (talk) 12:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wubu County

Sorry, I don't have hard-copy dictionary. According to my personal knowledge, 堡 indeed has a second pronunciation Bǔ, usually used in Northwest China's place names such as Wayaobu (瓦窑堡). But I cannot give you any evidence since you never trust online dictionaries, especially Kingsoft. Then why not follow Wubu County Government's official website? Some Chinese place names have unusual pronunciations. For example, Hongdong County actually should be Hongtong County. 洞 in this case is not pronounced as Dòng, but as Tóng, a very unusual pronunciation. But I am tired of arguing and requesting to move. Hope someone can finally correct it someday. Best regards. --Neo-Jay (talk) 17:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Qian Hong (swimmer)

Thanks for your not moving the page by cut and paste. I have placed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request moving Hong Qian (swimmer) to Qian Hong (swimmer). An administrator just moved it for us. Thanks. --Neo-Jay (talk) 14:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China

I wanted to thank for you creating articles for politicians who are part of the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. My current project is to create an article for every single member. I have created a list of all of the articles that still need to be created, which you can see at User:Danaman5/Workshop/17th_Central_Committee_Working. Thanks again for helping out, and keep it up!--Danaman5 (talk) 03:57, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I changed the translation on Liu Xiaojiang to be the literal Chinese terms. It is not a good translation, and probably should be changed to something else eventually, but at least it is accurate.--Danaman5 (talk) 18:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My reply to your comment about Chen Guoling

You said:

Hello, I noticed you placed speedy deletion tag to my newly created article Chen Guoling. Actually, it is within a project we are working on. (see 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China). And someone ask me to create one article for every member. (see my talk pape). Thus, I feel obligated to argue with you.

I reply:

Actually, if you'll note my edit summary, you'll see I only replaced the speedy tag that was placed by Leonard^Bloom. My edit summary reads "Re-adding speedy tag placed by Leonard^Bloom for process. Adding {{hangon}}. Speedy tag was removed by article creator." I re-added the speedy tag because it is not appropriate for an editor to remove a speedy tag from an article that that editor created. The proper procedure is to add a {{hangon}} tag instead, to state you're contesting the speedy deletion. As you'll note, I replaced the speedy tag you removed, and I added the {{hangon}} tag you should have placed instead. I have no objection to the article or the subject's notability. In fact, when the admin declined the speedy, and changed it to a proposed deletion, I objected to the {{prod}} closing the proposed deletion and keeping the article in place. My edit summary for that was "Object to {{prod}}. This seems like a decent enough stub article about a chinese military general." So, there's no need to argue. I'm not disputing the subject's notability. I'm just objecting to how you handled your objection to the speedy deletion. AubreyEllenShomo (talk) 01:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

You said:

I assume that's the mistake many newcomers would've made, including me. Thanks for your instruction.

I reply:

Not a big deal at all. I've made bigger ones, myself. Welcome to wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions! AubreyEllenShomo (talk) 02:14, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Categories and References

Greetings. I see you have created a number of new articles lately. This is great. However, you are creating them without placing them into the appropriate categories, which creates work for other Wikipedia editors who have to re-research each article in order to place it properly. You are also creating articles without proper citing proper references. Without proper references an article can not be considered verifiable and will probably be deleted.

Please go back and fix the articles you have created since you know the about the contents of each. This would include Lin Shusen, Chen Guoling, Fang Fenghui, Jiang Weixin among others.

Thank you. --Thetrick (talk) 06:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I've been fixing up some of your articles and adding categories as you go. We make a good team in this regard, actually :)--Danaman5 (talk) 17:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for going back and cleaning up. Adding categories at article creation really helps other editors. --Thetrick (talk) 22:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jiang Yikang
