Tangut script

Thanks. I simply draw them freehand (on PC) by straight lines, erased acicular corners. added lines again, erased corners again, and so on. I'll fix within a few days. Does it curve like ")" in toe (the left one) and "(" in finger (the right)? Kzaral 17:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Oops. Sorry for deleting. Kzaral 17:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the scans. Now I fixed the images. Honestly, I don't really know the exact shape of Tangut letter. (I did search websites such as this, this or this, but they don't necessarily give me the letter I want.) Please feel free to correct any errors. Regards. Kzaral 06:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Kanbun

Hi K.C.

I've made the Kanbun article more readable, but it could still use some polishing. Also, I noticed a new editor, a true believer in the Chinese as a Lost Tribe of Israel, has done some damage to Shangdi and started some dubious new pages. What do you think should be done?

Re:Dai viet su ky toan thu

It's a translation. A transliteration would be useless for both Vietnamese and Chinese speakers. DHN 02:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

It's translated by the Vietnamese Institute of Social Sciences, between 1985 and 1992, based on the 1687 edition (the earliest printed edition they could find, now in Paris). DHN 07:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Chinese language page vandalism

Hi K.C. Several portions of the Chinese language page were deleted by User:71.210.11.191. I undid some of the damage in: "Chinese characters" and "Learning Chinese". I am not sure about "Tones and Homophones" can you check?
Also, there is a message for you on the Talk:Western study of the Chinese language page. --26 September 2007, 01:33:17 UTC —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.54.210.236 (talk) -- 01:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Nguyen Truong To

It's on the T:DYK on the main page atm! Also I will write a separate article on his writings (this is about 25k with all the quotes). Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

John von Neumann

Good call on removing the anecdotal material. Robert K S (talk) 03:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I do not consider this a good call. Von Neumann's personality, like those of Einstein and Feynman, is a subject of interest in it's own right. Testimony of this is to be found in the prominence given to it by all his biographers. I do, however, agree that perhaps it might be better placed within the article as a whole. Give it some thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.1.17 (talk) 02:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Language reference desk, Chinese writing system question

AfD nomination of Peel Street

An editor has nominated Peel Street, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peel Street and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:59, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your advice regarding referencing. I'll have to fix it later - I do wikipedia at home and all my references etc are on my work computer, so I will need to check the details there. I notice you've made some contributions to the Lane entry, are you interested in him? I am, but more so in his sister. --Rosabibi (talk) 15:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC) Aggghh, I never remember to look up the details when I'm at work. I know there was a good Jason Thompson article in the Cairo papers in social sciences, and also in the International journal of Mid-eaststudies, but I don't remember waht came from where...thanks for the reminder. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosabibi (talk • contribs) 12:51, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
