Hi! I wish that you can have a look of the new format of Kangxi Emperor of China. I move the table as I think that such large table at the top is disturbing. wshun 00:05, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)

You may want to try Table of Chinese monarchs or Timeline of Chinese history or make a new List of Chinese dynasties instead of plugging in some obscure link that doesnt have to do with China. --Jiang 00:01, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)
The TOC will appear when there are three headlines in the article. --Jiang
Hi, Gordie. I would appreciate your opinion on the current Talk:Zhou Dynasty (1122 BC - 256 BC). Cheers, kt2 00:33, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Hi Colipon. I want you to stop inserting Chinese characters and spelling in Genghis Khan. It's not needed. Mind as well write his name in all the languages in the world in that article. I see that was vandalism.
Thanks ~~

Hi Colipon. Unfortunately, your adminship nomination has not been successful on this occasion and I have removed it from RfA. The votes are archived here (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship&oldid=3738838#User:Colipon(2/5/2)_18:38,_26_May_2004) should you wish to refer to them. Good luck with any future application you make. Angela. 15:41, May 26, 2004 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Chinese cities
Re: your request on my talk page — yeah, I'll help out as much as I can.
One thing though: most of the cities we'll be dealing with at first will probably be prefecture-level cities, which means they'll include a lot of surrounding counties. So does that mean we should do it like Beijing and Chongqing zhixiashi and have articles that talk about the entire dijishi? -- ran 14:51, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)

- Re: your question about license plate numbers — I got those by searching for 中国 车牌 on google. I can't remember the exact site, but it was a traditional Chinese site from Hong Kong (IIRC). The information looked a bit out-of-date, so there're probably better sites out there.... -- ran 17:36, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)

- Re: your question about stats for Chinese cities — well, I have a copy of 中华人民共和国行政区划简册2004 (26 RMB), it has area figures, population figures, area codes and postal codes, all down to county-level. You might be able to get information on www.xzqh.org too, I think they have some of this information as well. -- ran 04:29, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
VERY NICE WORK with Jinan and Nanjing! How did you make those maps, by the way? -- ran 12:05, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)
- Okay, I took a second look and found that the maps came from Chinese wikipedia. In that case you probably should explain that in the image description pages before they get deleted.
- But still, very nice work! I like the way the box looks. -- ran 13:57, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)
WikiProject Chinese Cities -- extended
Re your comment about Shandong: I'm currently trying to work my way through the provinces of China, expanding each one of them section by section, according to the "official" order (Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, etc...). Currently I'm somewhere between Heilongjiang and Jiangsu, so I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to get to Shandong for quite some time.
You're welcome to expand the Shandong article in the meantime, of course. ;)
What changes are you thinking about for the province template, btw? Just make the changes on the province template first and then we'll discuss it. -- ran 07:52, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Re the box in Shandong: I'll get to it eventually. Right now I'm focusing on the traditional/simplified problem over at Chinese wikipedia. -- ran 06:56, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Please don't use "major cities" -- it really confuses everything. The cities listed are prefecture-level cities (dijishi), not major cities (zhuyao chengshi). -- ran 03:02, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)

Expressways and Transportation
Colipon,
In your mid-August 2004 message on my talk page you mentioned something about expressways and transportation in China and around Beijing. I'm writing to tell you that I've added a template for Beijing-based roads, expressways and China National Highways, and that a project (all-round project) on roads, rail, expressway, airports and seaports has been initiated by me at Wikipedia:WikiProject Transportation in China. I'm hoping to complete basic information on 85-90% of expressways in China by October 2004.
Best, --DF08 18:44, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)
Expressway Template
Hi Colipon,
Yes, that's true. The problem is, how could one do a nationwide template? At present road numbering on the expressways is spraodic (although China National Highways fare better). The naming is also fraught with confusion (see the relevant bit in the Hebei section of the article for the Jingshi Expressway for more), as we have "one expressway, multiple names" at times.
Maybe to start off province-to-province and then to ultimately create a nationwide one?
Best, --DF08 03:55, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)
Transportation
Hi Colipon,
I've taken a look at the naming conventions page. Nicely done! :-) I'd like to add that China National Highways could also be abbreviated to the G+3-digit-code (e.g. G101). This was how I did it for the Beijing transportation template.
On Jingshi: the path this expressway takes certainly looks like it's far beyond Beijing-Shijiazhuang; in this case Beijing-Zhuhai is correct. I've no idea where the Jingshen (Beijing-Shenzhen) name came in (it may be an early/abandoned name), it comes in the moment you're in the Hebei stretch (I've ventured no further south than that), and this name is not present in any Chinese expressway atlas. Where this road is being referred to by other exp'ways, they often cite Jingshi and not Jingshen/Jingzhu.
Zhuhai is close to Macao, and Shenzhen is next to Hong Kong. This could be a case of expressway merging, though, so you may be right.
Chinahighway.com seems to be the closest link (albeit highway), with bjhighway.cn coming in close for the Beijing-area ones (though it's Beijing expressways, not highways -- as in the PRC usage.) (By contrast, the Germans have a full database of Autobahns online, at autobahn-online.de.)
Best, --DF08 04:59, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)
- Search Google -- in the entry field type in the Chinese name, preferably in Chinese characters (I use a Mac, so I just use Safari and type in the name in Chinese in the search field). You're going to find a lot of pages with related info. Maps do appear to be rare, though. --DF08 09:52, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)
Re:Zhou Enlai
You can post it on the talk page of Wikipedia:China-related topics notice board or onto the template there. I doubt that will lead people to do anything though. It sucks for articles that are missing some stuff, but not short enough to be wikipedia:Collaboration of the week or the like... anyway, it would be helpful to specify exactly what needs to be improved. --Jiang 07:22, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Re: Smallpox
The smallpox article was hit by a vandal 212.135.1.83 on 21 Feb 2005. The vandalism was evidently generally undiscovered by subsequent users, including myself. However, I finally read all the way through it today and caught the problems. Rather than simply revert, as others had made additions, I printed a copy dated Feb 12th and blocked the information back in, with some copy editing. As you had edited the article since that date, please look it over and make any appropriate changes. Thank you. WBardwin 05:43, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Naming conventions (Chinese) - Eras and Emperors
FYI, I moved your post entitled Eras and Emperors on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese) to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese). The former is for agreed upon conventions; the latter is for suggestions and questions. --Umofomia 23:22, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Chen Deming
Good evening, Colipon. I was browsing random pages and hit upon Chen Deming. I certainly don't want to act precipitously, so I thought I'd give you a note requesting expansion to the article. In its substub state, it really doesn't provide the reader with much information that wouldn't be more logically presented in another article (the article on the province would have a brief mention that Chen Deming is the current governor). If there is no more to be said about the individual at present, then I would normally treat it as a speedy deletion candidate (criterion #1). Again, seeing that you are an active contributor, I thought that I would instead ask you to expand the article or to let me know if you agree with its deletion until more accomplishments or details are available for him.

Thanks for your attention to that article. The problem is resolved. Geogre 13:12, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Qing Dynasty vandalism
Hey, I was just reading through the Qing Dynasty article today when I noticed that all the images were deleted. I was going to revert it to the previous version but have since learned that there has been a lot of change in the last few edits. Since I'm not an authority on this, I didn't know which version to revert back to since I can't tell what is vandalism and what isn't. Hopefully you can take a look through the recent history and try to sort out what belongs back in the article. In addition to the obvious stuff there is also a link to the Mahdi Army in the middle of the article that I noticed.--Hypo 20:51, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"Abahai"
What on earth have you done? You seem to have deleted the Lady Abahai article altogether (I can't find it anywhere), turned "Abahai" into a redirect, which created a circular link in the Hong Taiji article, and a lot of links in other articles leading to a blank article. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:30, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I think that I owe you an apology. I'm still trying to work out what happened, but most if not all of the mess was actually caused by Antares911 (talk • contribs). Writing "New page should be started" on a blanked article wasn't the solution to the problems he'd caused, though. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:52, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
