Cuju - Chinese soccer

I knew the Chinese had their own form of ancient soccer, but I didn't know the name of it until recently. I was happy to see that there was an article on it, but it is sadly undersourced and remains vague in the description of the rules. I imagine that someone has done an in depth study of the game's history since FIFA acknowledged it as the mother of modern soccer. Are there any books or journal papers out there that detail the game, especially during the Song Dynasty? You can find lots of info about it on the net, but I would trust the material better if it was published in a scholarly source. One website states info about it appears in this historical document. My Chinese is not so good, so someone here could probably find it. --Ghostexorcist 17:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I have checked for scholarly sources on JSTOR and Google Scholar, and found little. I'm going to keep looking.--Danaman5 21:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge China International Trade Promotion Committee into China Council for the Promotion of International Trade

I spotted what appear to be duplicates of the same article and to set the ball rolling have tagged the pages for merger. One of the pages was already tagged by Wikiproject China, so perhaps the experts here might want to confirm that these are the same organisation (I've found external sources to back it up) and, if it's valid, carry out the merger.

Request for Translation

I am currently working on creating an article regarding the Changsha conflagration, unfortunately I do not speak any Chinese dialect(s) (and the previous link is hosted on the Chinese Wiki). If anyone could contact me regarding a translation, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'd like to try and source any translation; unfortunately, information on the subject seems less than forthcoming (which seems to make me crave the information even more). Hoping you all could help (sources or translation - worst case, I'll reinvent the wheel w/ sources).

Much appreciated.--Curious brain 04:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Committee of 100 (United States)

Take a look Миборовский 00:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. :) Nice job removing the POV sections, but it still isn't well referenced.--Danaman5 05:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

It's in really, really bad shape. I removed most of the anti-Chinese POV, but now it reads like an advert. --Миборовский 06:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Wow, it looks like some IP editors ran through that article making it their soapbox. Good job cleaning it up. It's in dire need of reliable 3rd party sources though. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 15:13, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Tibetan towns and villages

HI I need to know who to speak to about this. I am currently as you know adding all the towns and villages in Tibet. I want to create a standard infobox Tibetan settlement for all the towns and villages such as Infobox Tibetan settlement. Is there anyway we can have something like this: Domartang but with parameters to include the Tibetan/Chinese language section like on Deleg at the top so it all goes neatly in one box for settlements? PLease respond on this as soon as you can as I feel it very important thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 13:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Something like this:

There's a WP:TIBET but it's not very active... And IMHO... villages of 500 people aren't really notable. --Миборовский 22:25, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

If you use the example of SmallTown USA (tm)... anything should have an article. 132.205.99.122 (talk) 22:33, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

New stub

I have just created the article on Baduanjin qigong. I have a lot of expansion in the works, but presently the article needs Chinese characters. Thanks, VanTucky ^Talk 01:11, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
