Thank you Miborovsky
I would like to thank Miborovsky/Миборовский/領導同志 for creating this excellent WikiProject which has quickly attracted a large number of participants. --Ideogram 13:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Energy policy of China
Due to the importance of the suject, my own interest in energy related topics, but my lack of knowledge of China, is there anyoone in this WikiProject who would be able to make any progress on the topic of Energy policy of China? I've added a couple of items to Category:Energy in China, but that's about all I know. Energy policy of the United Kingdom may provide some ideas. See also the new Energy Portal. Your help would be appreciated... Gralo 02:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Request section?
Maybe we should make one in our wikiproject? I know there are the request pages but hardly anyone goes there (heck, there are no requested articles under "China"). So, maybe a request section might be useful, since they are of direct interest to our project (and not floating somewhere no one knows about)....
Now, I'm saying this because I want to see a Qiandao Lake Incident (千島湖事件) article happen but I don't know enough to translate the existing Chinese/Japanese articles and I don't know where to request it so it would get noticed, so :D _dk 23:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Eh. There used to be a request section, located under the expanded project banner, but that has been removed because it was "clogging up" Special:Wantedpages. (The banner transcludes each red link on each talkpage with the tag, meaning each red article gets (actual hits + number of WPCHINA tags) hits on that page.) You can still find it at Template:WikiProject China/to do, although that is pretty much an orphan page at this time. -- Миборовский 23:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Qiandao Lake Incident is now expanded. AQu01rius (User | Talk | Websites) 19:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 15:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Hu Che Er
Does anyone know how to properly write the name 胡車兒 in pinyin? Is it Hu Che'er, Hu Cher, or whatever...? _dk 07:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Since it's a name I think the "er" is not a dimunitive in this case so Hu Cheer. Although admittedly that looks wrong. :/ -- Миборовский 19:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
