:: "Ji Chong'er" is wrong. It does get lots of google page results (so does "Elizabeth Windsor"), but very few google books results. Please read some scholarly works like [[Endymion Wilkinson]]'s ''[[Chinese History, A New Manual]]'': "Although they had clan names (xing), they were not normally referred to by these ... Note that [[Zhou Gong]]'s clan name (xing) was never incorporated in his name (so never Zhou Ji Dan gong or Zhou gong Ji Dan). It was only centuries later, when clan names (xing) and lineage names (shi) had long since become combined ... that people very occasionally anachronistically referred to him as Ji Dan. Unlike elite men, elite women were normally referred to by their clan name (xing)."

Hi, I replied on my talk page. Gunnar Hendrich (talk) 12:04, 3 September 2008 (UTC) It is very important that you read the procedures that have to be taken in order to move an article. I already fixed the movement of Governorate of the Río de la Plata, which you only copied and pasted the hole article into a new one instead of moving it. There are a lot of reasons not to do that, mainly the impossibility of following the article's history. If the article you need to move to already exists, contact an Administrator to delete it. (You can contact me). Good wiking, Mariano(t/c) 16:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
September 2008Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Maté has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. StaticGull Talk 14:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Maté / MateA consensus hasn't been reached on the matter; I suggest you start a discussion in the relevant talk page and await the decision pending on your requested move. You cannot achieve things in Wikipedia by bullying or edit-warring. BTW, maté and yerba-maté refer to the plant, while mate is an article strictly about the beverage.

Merge proposalPlease see WT:Only_make_links_that_are_relevant_to_the_context#Break 1 for the current discussion. I'm letting everyone know who has a comment on the relevant talk pages. Obviously, we're not going to push anything through without a full discussion of every issue, including whether to merge at all. My sense is that there's wide agreement on all the big points, but the devil is in the details. - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 18:26, 3 October 2008 (UTC) Cannon class destroyer escortI noticed your work on this article. Those transfers need to be cited, and the proper way to present ship names is to italicize them ({{USS}} helps out with that). -MBK004 04:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Nubian KingsHello LlywelynII, on the German wiki you asked for updating the English list of Makurian rulers. However, the German list contains all Nubian rulers. The English list is just the list of the kings of Makuria, so I am not sure whether this makes sense. best wishes -- Udimu (talk) 13:01, 22 June 2009 (UTC) CathedralsI read your edit summary that said that it was "important to note early that in English the term is often aapplied to a large church." and the removal of my word "mistakenly", replacing it with "by analogy". I find this problematic, particularly in the article that is not about architecture but about function. When a large church is referred to as a cathedral, it is almost always done erroneously, and it doesn't really happen all that often. Within England a big church is not often mistakenly called a cathedral by anyone who knows anything about churches, because of all the thousands of parish churches in England there are few that could possibly be mistaken for cathedrals. It is a characteristic of English ecclesiastical architecture that the cathedrals tend to be enormous and that parish churches are very much smaller and simpler, so that the one could hardly be mistaken for the other, unless through ignorance. The only exceptions to this are the remaining handful of intact but non-cathedral abbey churches, of which one, Westminster Abbey, served for a time as a cathedral. The error occurs primarily with English speakers referring to buildings in Europe that are well-known and are mistakenly thought of as cathedrals, in particular St Mark's Venice (often mistakenly called St Mark's Cathedral) and St Peter's Basilica, which people (not surprisingly) presume is the pope's cathedral. In the case of St Mark's, the tourist might well ask "Well, if it isn't the cathedral, where is the cathedral of Venice, then?" It is characteristic of Italy that the major pilgrimages/tourist churches are not cathedrals. It is not simply the size that fools English speaking tourists into thinking these churches are cathedrals. It is also their apparent status. One of the few examples that I can think of where there is clearly an analogous (rather than an erroneous) calling of a church a cathedral is at Tideswell where the church is proudly called "the Cathedral of the Peak" and has been given the name not in error but deliberately on account of the beauty of its architecture. This sort of use of the term is uncommon, which is why Tideswell comes immediately to mind. The Shorter Oxford gives the first meaning as the principal church of a diocese, seat of the bishop. - Amandajm (talk) 12:35, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Your adviceI would appreciate your thoughts on something I think you have had some involvement in. There seems to be some confusion about the translations that define the distinction between Captain General of the Church and Gonfalonier of the Church. There are a number of referenced sources (usually translations of original Italian to English) that seem to describe both posts as Commander of the Papal Army. On this basis I tried to fill in some gaps at Gonfalonier of the Church which could be obviously filled using the varying translations (there are corresponding gaps in the list into which variously described Commanders fit). I noticed, though, that Taddeo Barberini is already listed as a Captain General of the Church. Most evidence suggests his appointment was purely nepotistic (thanks to his uncle) and that there was little consideration of military leadership talent. His only real ‘military’ endeavour was the Wars of Castro and the use of the term ‘Wars’ is generous – more accurately neighbourhood spats between families. Given that his role was almost certainly ceremonial, and given the seeming uncertainty over the English translation, is it not more likely he held the ceremonial role rather than the military one? Are you aware of anyone being appointed to both? I'm not sure others would think it particularly important but I think it would be nice to have as close to a complete list of each as possible. Thanks, Stalwart111 (talk) 13:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Stress marksHi there! Just wanted to let you know that if you are experiencing problems with the stress marks in the Russian words, it means a problem with the fonts support on your side. I have restored the marks where they belong—per previous consensus, they should only be removed where an IPA transcription is present. In other cases, where the stress marks are introduced properly, they do not create problems in compliant browsers. Hope this helps.

Chihuahua (state)You wrote at Talk:Chihuahua#The_dog... and mentioned policy appropriateness. Is there any way to enforce the policy other than by voting? If people vote without brining evidence, then the policy is of no value if it cannot be enforced. 2011 Talk:Chihuahua#Requested move - Chihuahua (state) shows two votes claiming primary topic without showing evidence. TopoChecker (talk) 23:55, 17 January 2011 (UTC) I'd ask you to please reconsider your rejection of mediation here. Alinor certainly isn't the only editor who is pushing this issue. Please see the archives here: Talk:List_of_sovereign_states/Discussion_of_criteria/Archive_1, and all subsequent pages up to 6, of the extensive discussion we've had on this issue. We've been discussing this for over a year now, and have yet to find a compromise. Mediation is a good way for us to focus our discussion on finding a solution. As you can see on the current setup of the list, we can't agree on whether "widely recognized" includes states like Palestine and Kosovo or not. Currently they are listed with the widely unrecognized states, so clearly not everyone agrees with your definition of "widely recognized" as "more recognition than a rebel client state". Palestine is recognized by a majority of states and still listed with the widely unrecognized states. This is why we need a more precise definition. I'd ask you to please allow the mediation to go forward so we can discuss these issues in a structured way. Of course, you are welcome to contribute to the process and help us find a compromise! Thanks. TDL (talk) 17:46, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
List of sovereign states - sorting criteriaThe initial MEDCAB mediator got busy and a second mediator is willing to take the case, but we need to re-state our acceptance/decline. Please see the discussion here and indicate whether you consent to mediation or not. Please, even if you don't expect to participate (because of lack of time or other reason) - state your acceptance/non-acceptance of the mediation process - so that we don't have to wait for unaccounted for users.

Just to let you know, you have been pushing your Point of View on the Republic of Macedonia page. You have overriden by reverts twice, and keep in mind that any further edits of the sort may constitute a violation of Wikipedia's 3 revert rule which could get you blocked. The changes you are making to the article are incorrect. The "Republic of Macedonia" is not for domestic use, and "FYROM" is most certainly not for "international" use. The term FYROM is a UN provisional designation, and the Republic of Macedonia is not obliged to call itself FYROM. I suggest before making such edits again you read the Interim Accord in its entirety. If you are stil interested in making the change, please discuss it on the article's talk page first. Thanks --Philly boy92 (talk) 14:38, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Nationalism and ethnocentrismEquating Sinocentrism with Chinese nationalism is factually wrong. Chinese nationalism is called Chinese nationalism, and is located at Chinese nationalism. Sinocentrism =/= Chinese nationalism, and refers specifically to Han Chinese ethnocentrism, and is used in that sense in most English sources on the subject. Western sources don't distinguish between "Han chauvinism" and Sinocentrism, and having two articles on the same topic is redundant. Let's continue the discussion on the talk page.--Ross Monroe (talk) 06:24, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
More on "dynasty" vs. "Dynasty"Hi. I'm contacting all the editors who have commented on whether we should un-capitalize "dynasty" in wiki titles.

Chinese names in EnglishHi LlywelynnII! I took notice of this edit. I am reverting it immediately. Keeping the entire section in the Chinese name article is necessary and vital.

Speedy deletion nomination of FEDIMAHello LlywelynII, I wanted to let you know that I just tagged FEDIMA for deletion, because it seems to be an promotion, rather than an encyclopedia article.

Maelgwn, Merfyn et. al.Hello LlywelynII, I've recently returned from a long break and I noticed some of your improvements to several Welsh history-related articles. They are certainly to the good, at Maelgwn Gwynedd and Merfyn Frych, for example. I support your efforts to improve/correct anything I once wrote, but also please don't be too hasty in some conclusions as to the origins of their current state, which is a result of multiple editors and the contentions of several years ago, in addition to any shortcomings that I may have introduced. Your comments on Maelgwn's name apply to an article prior to my involvement, and I later added Rhys' etymology because I couldn't stand the same "popular" etymology about which you complain (I'm not Welsh-speaking, and in the absence of anyone else's correction of the text, I picked a respected individual who was); the literary "misinformation" and "record" sections were in reaction to then-common efforts to present traditions as historical facts. Your improved "focus" at Merfyn Frych certainly improved my update of that article, but I was not the origin of much that you changed. Maps are useful if referenced with the same rigor as article text (eg, a map of Roman-era civitates rather than a list), though they also seem to give weight of authority when that should not be the case; and they can be misued (the OR map I removed from Cunedda was stolen from my workspace without my knowledge or permission; I've since erased it from wikipedia, so that cannot happen again). Esthetics vary (this map of Gwynedd is crowded and needs improvement, else it can be erased, in my own opinion). Again, you recent efforts are a great improvement, and most welcome to see! For myself, please assume that if I wrote it, it bears improvement and should probably be shortened with better focus. That applies to maps as well as article text, and your critique and criticism and complaint will be well received. Best Regards, Notuncurious (talk) 21:35, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

You deleted a statement on this page which was supported by a source. You shouldn't do that; if you disagree with what it says, open a discussion on the talk page. Or find a source that agrees with your point of view and re-write it as controversial. But your opinion on the matter, by itself, carries no weight. Moonraker12 (talk) 16:44, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Welsh princesHi LlywelynII, some of your recent edits have included changing the names of Welsh princes to “son of” from “ap” e.g. Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, Llywelyn ap Seisyl etc. All the sources I've read refer to them by their Welsh name. These changes are a major departure from the accepted precedent on Wikipedia and should be discussed at a central point to gain consensus before embarking on wholesale changes. Please take this somewhere like Wikiproject Wales for discussion before making any similar changes. Many thanks, Daicaregos (talk) 13:58, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Hallo, It appears that you moved the page previously at this title to Owain ap Hywel Dda, and then created the dab page at this title. There are a lot of incoming links which were intended for the moved page and now lead to a dab page: it is your responsibility to fix them, as is explained on the message you got on screen when you made the Move. Please fix them. Thanks.

Spelling: Theatre District, New YorkThe move discussion was closed without alerting editors at the relevant Wikiprojects to join in. It has long been the consensus at WP:THEATRE and WP:MUSICALS to spell the word "theatre", in part because theatre professionals prefer this spelling throughout the English-speaking world, and because this spelling it is not wrong anywhere, while "theater" is wrong in many places,such as the UK. BTW, I am an American from New York City. Note that nearly all of the Broadway theatres are called "X Theatre". I have re-opened the discussion on the talk page to see if we can get a wider consensus on this issue.

Dream Focus 14:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC) Hasmonean dynastyPlease notice that your edits at Hasmonean dynasty regarding WP:ERA might not come in line with the Wikipedia policy on WP:NPOV. While the standard you used is implementing Christian symbols (AD, BC); it is a common practice implement secular symbolism (BCE and CE) for non-Christian articles in order not to offend the readers of another culture/religion. Hasmonean dynasty is obviously a Jewish history article, hence it would better be using non-Christian standard (BCE, CE). WP:ERA policy states you should use the same standard throughout the article, but the standard form to be decided by editors, hence i think it should be returned to BCE, CE form.Greyshark09 (talk) 19:03, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I have scans of the ancient articles I used still, I don't think I can link to them in the article for copyright reasons, but here is the the scan of the article for the stuff about the leaflets and people's objections. The attitude might not make a lot of sense nowadays, I was trying to just copy it into the Wikipedia article and not apply any editorializing. It might be useful if you want to work on the article more. Indian Hills was kind of a clear illustration of the suburbs vs. Louisville culture clash of the mid-20th century, not wanting bus lines into Indian Hills meant keeping out the riff raff, or something like that. --Runame (talk) 02:32, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Chinese CuisineHi LlywelynII -- I very much agree with the recent edits you've made at Chinese Cuisine, and hope you keep them up. The article has a long way to go, and, as I am not surprised to see, you are taking it in the right direction. One minor point: we should keep the list of Further Reading, for reasons that I've explained on the Talk Page there. Basically, it's "half a loaf is better than none." And besides, it's in line with WP:FURTHER and WIKIPEDIA:Further Reading. Cheers, ch (talk) 03:00, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Is Mary better described as 'Judean' or 'Judean-born'?On 8 July 2013, in Three Secrets of Fátima, you changed my wording 'Palestine-born Mary' to 'Judean Mary', with the explanation 'Miriam mother of Josh was from Hasmonean Judea, not "Palestine"'. I don't have a problem with getting rid of 'Palestine-born', and it's an irrelevant triviality that I think she was born in Herodian Judea rather than Hasmonean Judea, since that doesn't change the text of the article. However for much of her life she can arguably be more accurately described as Galilean, since the Tetrarchy of Galilee ceased to be part of Judea after Herod's death. So it seems to me that 'Judean-born' might well be better than 'Judean'. However, I don't think it's worth risking getting into a row over the matter. So I've decided to simply bring the matter to your attention, and let you make the change if you think it's a good idea, and to forget about it if you don't.

Languages of Italy vs Italian DialectsHi. I saw your edits (Languages of Italy and Italian Dialects) and I agree with you. There is too much confusion among these two articles. As you suggest, Italian dialects should include all the idioms that are spoken in Italy and that are closely related to and not officially recognised (Venetian, Sicilian, Neapolitan...). In fact these languages are deeply influenced by Italian and today they are not so different . While the Language of Italy should include only those languages recognised (Sardinian, German ...). But in order to do it we have to start a deep edit of the article Languages of Italy because there are a lot of languages not recognised and part of the Italian dialect indeed. --Walter J.

Submitting an RMHi LlywelynII, please don't convert another user's comments into an RM as you did at Talk:Baekdu Mountain. This is not an acceptable reason for reformatting others' comments, and may be considered disruptive. It also throws a wrench into the RM process; in this case, it made it look like the request had been open for a month (and thus was ready for a close). In the future, it's fine to start an RM in an existing section if you want to work off of their comments, but the request needs to go at the bottom of the section, signed by you. In many ways, it's preferable to start a new section, in which you can still refer to previous comments on the talk page. Understand? --BDD (talk) 20:37, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

(I don't have the words verbatim in front of me but that is the gist of it.) I agree with the sentiment in theory, but it's not clear to me what you meant. Also your spelling of Llywelyn is curious; it's not the most commonly spelled/orthodox version of the Welsh name (i.e. Llewellyn, Llewelyn) but how Irish author/writer Morgan Llywelyn spells her own surname, although what name she was born under is anyone's guess.

Memorials / Official CommunicationsHi LlywelynII -- Just saw your excellent work on Memorial to the throne, which has both important content and well chosen references. But there is considerable overlap with Official Communications of the Chinese Empire -- in fact some of the same sources and the same topics. How would you feel about merging the two? At least the Official Communications article could be the main article, since it is more general, with sections marked "see also."

Now we can debate about what established means, but it doesn't mean the first mention.

DianxinHi there. I noticed a recent edit of yours which translated "dim sum"/"dianxin" as an "a la carte item". I am assuming that you derived this translation from dian, the verb, which can mean "to order, as from a menu". This is not the correct etymology for "dianxin" - if followed literally, this etymology would yield the literal translation "to order, as from the menu, a heart", which is not what the phrase means. The phrase means literally "to touch lightly on the heart", which refers to its role to lightly line one's belly, without filling it up. "Snack" is a more apt translation than "a la carte item". --62.189.73.197 (talk) 12:22, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Duanwu / Dragon Boat FestivalI have changed my mind on this as far as mainland China is concerned. While I think the official usage reflects the longstanding usage in English language reference tools, it is clear that the Chinese government is using "Dragon Boat Festival" primarily and "Duanwu" or "Duan Wu" secondarily in English language sources. The most convincing source for me was the 2011 UNESCO report submitted by the Chinese government, where "Dragon Boat" is used throughout. The same is true of Taiwan. My only reservation is for Hong Kong, where the official name is Tuen Ng Festival. As a result, I do not feel sufficiently convinced to vote for a move to Dragon Boat Festival, but I probably will not vote against it.

Your edit summaries said "since template seems hinky", but that's not correct; the templates were fine, but you didn't take the right steps for the promotions. The instructions for the steps required to approve nominations are at T:TDYK#How to promote an accepted hook; basically, you neglected to add the "subst:" before the "DYKsubpage" template name, which causes a number of changes that close the template. You also added your name in the "2" parameter, which is not necessary: the template substitution automatically takes care of that. Another problem is that you didn't not copy the DYKmake templates from the nomination template to the prep page from the Pettakere cave nomination (there were four); instead, you created your own single DYKmake in prep, and it was formatted incorrectly. (You had two users in a single DYKmake, which is not allowed, instead of duplicating the four DYKmake templates that were in the nomination.) I have cleaned up the promoted template so it's formatted correctly (basically, I went back to before the promotion and redid the proper promotion steps, subsequently replacing your sig over mine). Finally, you may have noticed that one of the two promotions you did, Template:Did you know nominations/Evolution of snake venom, has been reversed. Although there is no specific rule against it, reviewers are strongly discouraged from promoting nominations they've reviewed, and especially if they proposed one of the hooks—there's an element of conflict of interest involved, and also the basic idea of getting another, independent set of eyes to cast their eye over things. Most of us take this as an effective prohibition, even with years of experience. As someone who is new to promoting nominations to prep, and who missed the fact that the ALT3 hook wasn't really reviewed but just liked, I'd advise promoting only nominations that you haven't reviewed or proposed a hook for.

Recruitment for Wikipedian InterviewHello LlywelynII, We’d like to invite you to participate in a study that aims to explore how WikiProject members coordinate activities of distributed group members to complete project goals. We are specifically seeking to talk to people who have been active in at least one WikiProject in their time in Wikipedia. Compensation will be provided to each participant in the form of a $10 Amazon gift card. The purpose of this study is to better understanding the coordination practices of Wikipedians active within WikiProjects, and to explore the potential for tool-mediated coordination to improve those practices. Interviews will be semi-structured, and should last between 45-60 minutes. If you decide to participate, we will schedule an appointment for the online chat session. During the appointment you will be asked some basic questions about your experience interacting in WikiProjects, how that process has worked for you in the past and what ideas you might have to improve the future. You must be over 18 years old, speak English, and you must currently be or have been at one time an active member of a WikiProject. The interview can be conducted over an audio chatting channel such as Skype or Google Hangouts, or via an instant messaging client. If you have questions about the research or are interested in participating, please contact Michael Gilbert at (206) 354-3741 or by email at mdg@uw.edu.

Your GA nomination of Charles BertramThe article Charles Bertram you nominated as a good article has failed Charles BertramSomeone should at least thank you for drawing attention to the fraudulent work of Charles Bertram. The degree to which outright fraud, myth, romance and nationalism have become embedded in Scottish history is a fascinating subject which I've been investigating over the last three or four years. Defenders of the status quo have deleted my supportive comment on Wiki's Scottish History talk page. You may however find my own investigation and deconstruction of the supposed history of the Scots Language, posted on my own Wiki page, to be of some small interest. You may also find the personal attacks by M Lunker, evidenced on the talk page, to be astonishingly virulent. Cassandra Cassandrathesceptic (talk) 08:54, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Cut-and-paste movesThey're not OK, please stop doing them. When there is a consensus that Annuity (finance theory) is the primary topic, then an admin will move the dab page (via the move function and not by cutting-and-pasting) to Annuity (disambiguation). When you make cut-and-paste moves like this you are breaking the attribution and effectively violating the copyright of everyone who has contributed to the dab page since Jan 2006.

The problem is that "ton" is ambiguous—the cure is to use LT (long ton = 2240 pounds) or ST (short ton = 2000 pounds). It is also possible to use shton (short ton), and some others seen here. The system is very weird as each of these default to "t" for the output which is a metric ton (1000 kg). Using "sp=us" has no effect on these units. Possibly converting to kg would be more helpful; examples:

There is a discussion over at the talk page about the move you performed and subsequent DAB page. From a quick overview it seems that the author, while not very popular is the only on-wiki article that uses that as a COMMONNAME. The pope clearly is not since the Peter of Spain (pope) redirects to his common name, and Petrus Ferrandi Hispanus is clearly his CN, while Peter of Spain may also be an alias. As such, my recommendation on this is to restore the author as the PRIMARY TOPIC and then use WP:TWODABS to direct people to their the pope or Ferrandi...

- Inclusion in the references section is attribution. Creating a subsection of the references section for superreferences is needless and counterproductive. — LlywelynII 04:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
- It is not a subsection it is to make it very clear that the text is copied from another source, the line is in bold not a section header.
- Your opinion is not the opinion of many editors who contributed to the talk page of Wikipedia talk:Plagiarism or the guidance given in Wikipedia:Plagiarism. Many editors do not agree with copying text from a PD source, the compromise reached over this issue was to highlight such text with explicit attribution. If you do not think it necessary then please raise the issue on Wikipedia talk:Plagiarism-- PBS (talk) 20:49, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
- It's peachy you have your own understanding of what they've said but even if a LOCALCONSENSUS has formed it doesn't actually trump the actual core policies. Now, that said, it'd probably help if you reread your own cite which explicitly says that other appropriate forms of attribution (such as inclusion in the page's bibliography) are fine and your malformatted templates (I can't count the number of pages I've seen where well-meaning editors have attributed articles personally to Hugh Chisholm because of EB’s shitty default template) are not required. — LlywelynII 12:37, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Ritenbenk
Hi LlywelynII, it's been a few years, but where did you find the information that Ritenbenk was on Appat Island in Uummannaq Fjord? On this map you see that Ritenbenk (Agpat) was almost 80 miles further south, on a tiny island (possibly in modern spelling also called Appat Island, immediately west off much larger Alluttoq Island). The coordinates in the article also would place it there. Possibly, the error arose from two islands both called Appat. In this case, the article Appat Island also needs to be corrected. BTW, Ritenbenk used to be a municipality until 1950, and then became part of Jakobshavn. I have started to work on the original sixty-so municipalities of Greenland that existed before 18 Nov 1950, when 16 new municipalities were created in West Greeland (if interested read here.

Apologies. I certainly did not mean to be rude or combative. As you will have seen, I did replace the link with a more appropriate one to the Office of Works immediately afterwards. Paul W (talk) 17:09, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Review DYK red-billed quelea
Thank you very much for reviewing the quelea article. I did not know about the copyvio detector, very useful. Some of the indicated word groups will be easy to paraphrase. In some others however, the result would be convoluted, or are the result of links to existing wiki pages. One phrase indicated as copyvio is "The red-billed quelea (Quelea quelea) ...", which is in fact the way almost any species article begins, and I think it would be strange to have to change it, or "the cardinal quelea Q. cardinalis", where it would be odd to not give the common name followed by the scientific name at the first mentioning of a species. Another example where I would suggest giving dispensation would be for other names that consist of several words, such as "southern Democratic Republic of Congo" and "the Lake Chad basin". I've made many changes and hope these suffice. Regards, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 15:03, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
- You're welcome and absolutely right: the lead should start the same way and I'm not about to bother you over that. Ditto obvious expressions like those you gave: although it really is easy enough to come up with "the southern areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo", "the Democratic Republic of Congo's southern reaches", "the Lake Chad watershed", "the drainage basin of Lake Chad", &c., all of those are wordier and may not fit the sentence. It was the other stuff that could be easily rephrased that should be, particularly full sentences where the verb is easy enough to change.
- Again, thanks for creating such an interesting article on such a major part of our world most people don't know about. — LlywelynII 22:42, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Gonçalo Teixeira Correa
Thanks for writing Gonçalo Teixeira Correa! Definitely one of the most fascinating figures of the late Ming period, and I had been hoping someone would tackle the subject. --diff (talk) 23:35, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- You're quite welcome and the story overall is interesting, but it was very hard to find information on the man himself. If you have anything in any language, go ahead and add it to the article's talk page and I'll see if I can add it some time. — LlywelynII 07:59, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- Ditto that. Great job again LlywelynII! -Zanhe (talk) 03:09, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

The Hum
Hi LlywelynII. Sorry about the revert - I thought it was an infrasound add. However, having looked at the Schumann resonances page, I can see that's not necessarily the case, and they may be audible. I don't suppose you have an article that specifically mentions the Schumann resonances and the Hum? Cheers, Bromley86 (talk) 23:55, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

The xing surname
Hi LlywelynII, thanks for your new articles in ancient Chinese history! One thing I noticed is that you kept appending the xing surname such as Ji and Ying to the names of noble men. Please note that in the Zhou dynasty the xing surname was only used by women: Li Ji, Huai Ying, Mu Ji, Wen Jiang, etc. Men only used the shi surname, such as Hu Yan, Zhao Cui, etc. And rulers usually did not use surnames at all (officially the name of their state is their shi surname), similar to modern European royalty. So Chong'er, Prince Chong'er, or (rarely) Jin Chong'er is correct. But Ji Chong'er would be akin to calling Queen Elizabeth "Elizabeth Windsor". Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 18:16, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Also, please don't add your own gloss to personal names without an RS. That's not even done for modern names (we don't interpret Deng Xiaoping as "little flat" or Xi Jinping as "near flat"), and it's even more treacherous for ancient names, when the same words could have vastly different meanings from their modern usage. You wouldn't gloss Hu Mao 狐毛 as "fox fur", would you? -Zanhe (talk) 20:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- That's very interesting but (as with your earlier misunderstanding of raw Google results) you seem misinformed or in need of some editing elsewhere. Our sourced article on Chinese surnames—linked at your own edit—disagrees with what you wrote above, stating that the men carried the surnames as well; every article linked to a royal figure includes their xing; and I am not remotely the only one to call the guy 'Ji Chong'er'. (We just discussed the problems with Google searches, but fwiw it's more common than 'Prince Chong'er'.) You may very well be right about the usage ('Prince Chong'er' is more common at Google Scholar) and I think you mean well (I appreciate your articles on Chinese figures as well) but you need to tidy that surname article up, with better sourcing about how you think the usage worked, rather than just re-editing my pages without sourcing to reflect what you think is appropriate, lest we start having WP:HOUND issues.
- Courtesy and posthumous names are always meaningful and that meaning should be noted on the page, rather than continuing the misunderstanding that they were proper names. (You're right I should find sourcing. I hadn't added it yet, but it's in Nienhauser Jr's translation of Sima Qian.) There is certainly an argument that, e.g., "Duke Mu" is the much more common English name for the guy but it's so substantively wrong that I do think we should push back and highlight the posthumous and descriptive nature of that title (not name) more strongly. That's a discussion for WP:MOS-ZH, though, and not my talk page.
- "Ji Chong'er" is wrong. It does get lots of google page results (so does "Elizabeth Windsor"), but very few google books results. Please read some scholarly works like Endymion Wilkinson's Chinese History, A New Manual: "Although they had clan names (xing), they were not normally referred to by these ... Note that Zhou Gong's clan name (xing) was never incorporated in his name (so never Zhou Ji Dan gong or Zhou gong Ji Dan). It was only centuries later, when clan names (xing) and lineage names (shi) had long since become combined ... that people very occasionally anachronistically referred to him as Ji Dan. Unlike elite men, elite women were normally referred to by their clan name (xing)." (pp. 114-5, unfortunately not on Google books). -Zanhe (talk) 01:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- While you're here, though, what you should absolutely not do is change content that is already sourced and leave the source as though it agrees with what your change turned it into. The guy with a job as a sinologist at the University of Tübingen might very well be wrong (or, same as, out of date with current theories) but he still has more credibility than random internet helpers like us, which is why we have WP:RS in the first place. — LlywelynII 00:15, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- Ulrich Theobald is pretty good in general, but his website is not a peer-reviewed publication and does make mistakes (I've seen quite a few over the years), such as misreading Juancheng 鄄城 as Zhencheng. 鄄 Juan and 甄 Zhen are similar characters that are easily confused. -Zanhe (talk) 01:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
