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. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 27, 2010; 14:02 (UTC)

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. Thanks. Alinor (talk) 18:34, 17 February 2011 (UTC) Do you think any official cites about TL "use" the pound sign? As from Turkey, WE DON'T USE IT! OnurT 00:38, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Reopening a discussionI want to reopen the discussion Naming_conventions_(Cyrillic)#Example_convention regarding bibliographic references because I think Unicode changes the game somewhat. Since you have participated in the same talk page, I hope you will visit the discussion and give me your opinions. Thanks! LADave (talk) 23:23, 17 June 2011 (UTC) Republic of MacedoniaHi. 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)

A tag has been placed on River Odysses requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

According to this article Darendeli Topal İzzet Mehmed Paşa was Grand Vizier between 1828-1829 and 1841-1842. According to this article Topal İzzet Paşa is a completly another person. He was Kapudan Pasha between 1827-1829. I hope this helps you. Regards.--Rapsar (talk) 06:26, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Question about etymology of word "Kongo" in Kongo PeopleI put a response to your question concerning the etymology of the word on the talk page of that article.Beepsie (talk) 22:16, 7 October 2011 (UTC) Hi LlywelynII, I see that you added the sentence "Shanghai fell to the Taiping Rebellion in 1851 but was recovered by the Qing in February 1853" to Shanghai#History. As far as I know Shanghai never fell to the Taiping, and I couldn't find it in the source you provided, or other sources about the Taiping Rebellion. Are you sure about this? Zanhe (talk) 18:58, 19 October 2011 (UTC) It just occurred to me: were you referring to the Small Swords Society instead? They occupied Shanghai's old town, but not the foreign concessions.

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. I have just proposed a new and simple way to make a final decision on this issue. Could you go to this new section to say whether you support my proposal? Thank you!

Help with Texan/Texian consensusHello.

Mootros (talk) 06:19, 12 March 2012 (UTC) GuocunMy work at List of township-level divisions of ____ comes entirely from ZH-wiki, which, as you point out, is not 100% correct in this regard. As tedious translating and disambiguating may already be, confirming at XZQH, which has many holes, or local gov't pages is unbelievably time-consuming. If you could (even occasionally) verify the entries, the strength of this partnership will be undeniable. GotR Talk 23:00, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
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. You said "needless editorializing & japan bashing, without adding any information not contained elsewhere in the article" That is an incorrect summary of the section.
The Chinese names in English section is the equivalent of this section in the article about Japanese names. Thank you for your understanding, WhisperToMe (talk) 03:01, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Dispute resolution survey
RequestHello LlywelynII, I noticed you are active in creating Greenland related articles. I am wondering if you have access to a publication about Greenland I would like to obtain. I am, from time to time, working on creating lists of Lepidoptera species by country. A lot are done (see my sandbox User:Ruigeroeland/Sandbox3 if you are interested). To make a list for Greenland, I am looking for access to a publication from "Meddelelser om Grønland". I thought you might be able to get your hands on it for me? I would only need the names of the species (including the species authority):
It would be great if you could help me out! Cheers Ruigeroeland (talk) 07:20, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

List of English monarchsI am posting this notice here to advise that on the talk page of an article to which you have made substantial edits I have asked a question concerning the validity of the article. The question has been there for some time but received no replies so I am giving my question wider distribution by notifying selected editors who have been involved with the article and giving them an opportunity to respond. Please do not reply here on your talk page or on my talk page but on the talk page of the article where other editors can easily see your comments so that hopefully we can have a constructive debate. The article is List of English monarchs. Thank you. Cottonshirtτ 07:30, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
I found Cocomes which is new and was sourced to Lewis Spence, not an RS. Searching for sources I found that Cocomes has more than Cocom, esp when you look at Google scholar. I sources Cocomes with one reliable sources, and redirected your article. Then I thought - rather late - that maybe I should have discussed this with you first. Apologies. I was really only interested in finding better sources than Spence for articles - didn't plan to do this, sorry! Dougweller (talk) 16:33, 14 August 2012 (UTC) Common and uncommon titlesHi LlywelynII.

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. If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, atnair (talk) 11:22, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Hebrew calendar Era stylingI reverted only those portions of your edits that explicitly changed era styling from BCE/CE to BC/AD.

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)
Hi, this afternoon I noticed you copied my Buellt material from my userspace to the mainspace. I certainly don't mind it being used, but copy-pasting broke the edit history necessary for attribution.

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. PamD 23:09, 26 February 2013 (UTC) Also, when you create a disambiguation page, please add a disambiguation template {{dab}} or {{hndis}} (human name disambiguation), rather than adding Category:Disambiguation pages. Various bots expect to see a template to recognise dab pages, and it adds a useful message to the bottom of the article. See WP:MOSDAB for more about dab pages. 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".

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)
Yangtze RiverIt's always good to see some solid content creation on Wikipedia. From patrolling recent changes, sometimes it seems like three-quarters of the edits are vandalism, bot edits, or updates of football goals scored. Have you stumbled across Listen to Wikipedia?

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)
KosciuszkoHi LlywelynII, Just wanted to say thanks for your contribution on the Kosciuszko page in the Memorials and tributes section, however you apparently forgot to add the citation. As the article is currently undergoing an FA review, and unless someone can source this information, the edit will no doubt be reverted in short order. If you could, would you please provide the source? Regards. -- Gwillhickers 05:16, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

RE: Comments on Ten Little Indians talkpageAs per [3], I was wondering what you meant and to whom you were referring specifically (if you were in fact specifically referring to anyone or any group in particular) with your comment that there is nothing wrong with showing how others are uncivilised. (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.

Article titles for Chinese kingsHi LlywelynII, please do not rename articles for Chinese kings without discussion. The situation for Chinese kings is very different from other countries, due to complications with personal name versus posthumous name. -Zanhe (talk) 01:22, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
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." I'd be happy to have you make the revisions and decide which topics go where, though I would also be happy to do the shuffling around my self.

Regarding the use of foreign language footnotesSince using Chinese footnotes is not fine, why does the Chinese Wikipedia allow so many articles with English footnotes? There are many Chinese Wikipedia users who do not understand English or did not have proper English education.

WP:ERAI've seen a number of editors make your mistake. WP:ERA says "Do not change the established era style in an article unless there are reasons specific to its content." Now we can debate about what established means, but it doesn't mean the first mention. That would leave us in the ludicrous situation where the first edit to an article 10 years ago is BC, the 2nd edit is BCE, and then after it's been stable all that time someone comes along and reverts to BC. Or vice versa. Dougweller (talk) 16:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

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)

The post on my talk page, for example, seems to assume that I am a Chinese English teacher or speak Chinglish, or somesuch. I am not. I learned to speak English in an English-speaking country and I learned to speak Chinese in China, and I speak both at a native or bilingual level, so quite apart from civility, you are in no position to challenge my grasp of either language based on what I have seen of your grasp of the two languages. Taking a different approach in your social interactions both on Wikipedia and in life generally will no doubt make you a more likeable person. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 16:39, 31 October 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. I am posting these thoughts on your talk page because you posted on my talk page, but I feel my thoughts are not sufficiently crystallised for the article talk page just yet. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 17:28, 31 October 2014 (UTC) I've tagged it allAll the redirects have been tagged for the rubbish bin.

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.

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.

Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:19, 25 August 2015 (UTC) BaalbekPlease search Baalbek for "convert:" to see four {{convert}} errors. 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...

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.

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)

The xing surnameHi 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)

I saw you did a lot of good work for Dai County. Just wanted to mention that I started an article for the Guangwu section of the Great Wall which is in the adjacent county to the west: Shanyin County. I thought you might have come across some of the history of the section while writing about Dai County. Also it is interesting to note that the present day villages of New Guangwu and Old Guangwu are located in Shanyin County. I've also created a disambiguation page for Guangwu to try to clear up any confusion about the many places named Guangwu present and past.

GanjaHi LlywelynII. Thank you for your edit at Battle of Ganja (1826).[5] While its true that Tsitsianov ordered for the ban on the usage of the original name "Ganja" after the 1804 conquest, it seems to have been only accepted by the Russian administration at the time, for not a single modern WP:RS source refers to the 1826 clash as the "Battle of Elisabethpol". At least, I wasn't able to find anything. Perhaps you were more successful? Also... Ganja was garrisoned by the Iranian forces at the time of the 1826 battle. This is well-sourced within the article. So your addition "Elisabethpol, Russia" at the "location" parameter was not a correct one (either). Best, - LouisAragon (talk) 12:45, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
I'm also somewhat concerned about the edit you made at this article, Battle of Ganja (1804).[6] Ganja was renamed Elisabethpol by the Russian administration after its conquest in 1804, not during, not before. You also added Armenian language to the lede; why exactly? Thanks, - LouisAragon (talk) 12:50, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

However, this seems inconsistent with postal romanisation being based on local pronunciations – I would expect that the entire pronunciation is from Cantonese since 山 is historically known to have a "shan" sound in Cantonese, only disappearing in the late 19th century. Since you have cited Encyclopaedia Britannica, I would like to confirm whether this is explicitly mentioned in this source. — Zywxn | 15:31, 17 August 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zywxn (talk • contribs) "Etymology of Georgia" listed at Redirects for discussion

Madaba mapHi, You are adding many things sourced directly to the Madaba map. Interpretation of that map is a specialist subject with many disagreements between scholars. According to the policy WP:PRIMARY, "Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation" and "Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so." Clearly you are not obeying that rule. Perhaps you are working from a secondary source, in which case you should cite it even if you cite the map as well. If you have no secondary source for your interpretations, you can't add them. Zerotalk 05:54, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
ARBPIAThis is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

Top-importance articles
Please don't set the priority for all WikiProjects to "top", like you did here and here and here and here and here and here and many other times. You need to stop doing this, and you should go revert all of those importance/priority ratings to the original settings. I can't imagine why you thought any person from the 17th century would be of equal importance to WikiProject Medicine as articles like Health, Medicine, and Cancer, but that subject obviously isn't, and you shouldn't do things like that. It's generally considered okay to add tags for relevant WikiProjects, but please don't ever set the importance rating to "top". That's a decision to be made by the WikiProject itself. In your case, I advise never setting a priority rating at all. Nobody will yell at you for leaving it blank. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:33, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- If a member of the relevant project disagrees, they're free to set it to their preferred values. Some of your opinions—like imagining that the main Chinese covid vaccine article, which we had allowed to linger unupdated for months because it was regarded as low/mid importance—are just as blatantly wrong as whatever your problem with the 17th century is. If the edits drew your attention and got an extra editors involved in working on those pages, yeah, that's exactly what should've happened. That said, thanks for your work on these various projects and sorry this obviously effective behavior irks you quite as much as it does. No, I have no problem at all with a considered evaluation of the topics leading to reassigning them to lower levels of importance. — LlywelynII 08:55, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- How do you imagine that these ratings work? WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:18, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- We need to be conservative when assigning higher importance levels to articles. Even if we get just 40% articles into the top-importance category, it loses the point of separating extremely important articles from others. It is not possible for an editor to look through all your contributions, manually check them and reassign a lower rating. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 09:27, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not nearly active enough that I'm moving 40% of any category's articles anywhere. — LlywelynII 06:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

ANI notice
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
Thread is Treaty of tordesilla. Schazjmd (talk) 00:26, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Thread's been closed with the OP directed to open a discussion at the article's talk page. Schazjmd (talk) 00:33, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- No idea what this is going on about. I assume you've misspelled something? — LlywelynII 16:09, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Link. Schazjmd (talk) 16:16, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- There's no discussion added. The person obviously doesn't speak English regularly and didn't understand what you were trying to say about handling things on the talk page.
- Link. Schazjmd (talk) 16:16, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Regardless, they're wrong. The Treaty of Tordesillas provided for an official voyage which never happened—at least in part because Ferd & Isabella wanted Columbus involved and he was in Trumpian denial over any agreement that diminished the range of his notional admiralty—and, as a result, the exact delineation proposed by the treaty was never hammered out and remained a vague band of values. The article actually extensively details (and sources) the vagueness and range of values but it does become a little confusing since it still does include images that (completely incorrectly) just draw a single line on a map and say 'that was it'. — LlywelynII 16:36, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- No idea what the forum would be to get a large enough concensus to knock out images like this that are spread across dozens of major articles across dozens of different languages. — LlywelynII 16:39, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Notice of noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding the same stuff already brought up earlier at ANI. The thread is likely to boomerang with or without your input but now at least you're aware of its existance. The thread is fraud. Thank you. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 20:33, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- @74.73.224.126: Did I miss it? — LlywelynII 11:05, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- That is correct. Thread now archived at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive349#fraud. Additionally, notifications do not work for unregistered users, so you have to use {{talkback}} or one of it's related templates instead. Now in my case that still may not work since this IP is semi-public, and given I often deliberately stay away, chances are decent someone else sees the OBOD, but for other unregistered uses on staticish IPs it's probably your best bet. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 01:28, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
Criteria for speedy deletion
The policy on speedy deletion allows administrators to delete pages without discussion only if they satisfy one or more of a specific list of criteria. An editor thinking that an article title is "useless" is not one of those criteria. JBW (talk) 09:22, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Nice of you to write. The specific criteria were already listed. Go back and read them. Also see the talk page for the page itself and justify it. — LlywelynII 13:28, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- A vague handwave "if you need codes, G1, G6, &c" is not specific criteria. It is not patent nonsense (G1), nor is this a technical deletion (G6). If you think this redirect is useless, then nominate it for deletion at RFD. Edit-warring to add the speedy deletion tag bac is not acceptable. See also WP:NOTCSD item 15. -- Whpq (talk) 14:05, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Whpq: On the assumption you aren't just a sockpuppet (apologies but you are both just random series of letters xD), I get it that you like to support other admins.
- A vague handwave "if you need codes, G1, G6, &c" is not specific criteria. It is not patent nonsense (G1), nor is this a technical deletion (G6).

See also WP:NOTCSD item 15. -- Whpq (talk) 14:05, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- That title is patent nonsense and it's not a handwave. Those are specific criteria and the only edit warring is ignoring that, coming from the other side and for no apparent reason in defense of an obviously halfassed college assignment. Absolutely nothing else on this project is titled "Author, Image, Title of Work" with no formatting and you can just admit that without accepting that I'm a good person. There's a box to contest speedy deletions: Use it. There's a discussion on the talk page no one is replying to: Use that. (Seriously, the edit warring is coming from JBW's end and sorry for the needless drama pulling you in and wasting everyone's time. If everyone is confused that there are still incoming links and it might be useful, look at them. They're only housecleaning links about the move and edits. No one will ever use or need this title again.)
- I'm an editor in good standing for multiple decades and am not just making any of this up. The other admin was simply mistaken in this one instance and should use any of the appropriate methods to deal with it apart from trying to sweep it under the rug with this inappropriate revert edit warring and handwaving of the valid reasons being provided without any argument to the contrary in any appropriate forum. I'm sure they're generally useful and don't need anyone coming in to notice this abuse of their authority.
- Fwiw, you must've meant a different code. There's nothing wrong with the TARGET for the redirect that I created. The redirect it's coming from is patent nonsense, but that isn't what the thing you're pointing me to is talking about. — LlywelynII 01:17, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- As an editor who is also just a random series of letters, please see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 February 18. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:45, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- Please do not attempt to speedy that again; it will be declined again, and if you persist, you will be blocked from editing. Instead, please participate in the RfD that Sdrqaz has linked to. OhNoitsJamie Talk 02:00, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- Any editor, not just admins, can challenge a speedy deletion by simply removing the tag. And I will reiterate that G1 is not met. G1 is for unintelligible text or gibberish. The title may be useless as you claim, but having the author, image, title of work is intelligible. -- Whpq (talk) 02:01, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
- Ah. Fair enough but—fwiw—if that's the new consensus that should probably be expressed more clearly on the gloss page. Not all editors are as pigheaded as I am but enough are that it would save some bother. — LlywelynII 07:31, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Vandals: Dmhw, Ylogm
Hi, I noticed that recently User:Dmhw and User:Freeman6000 have vandalized and blanked several pages regarding the Ming dynasty of China. They have been warned numerous times to stop blanking and removing content from pages, yet they continue to do so.
Also, their editing habits appear similar to User:Ylogm who was blocked here: [13]. For example, Ylogm and Dmhw have similar usernames (string of random letters). They also edit similar articles within a close time interval that few other users edit such as [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], any many other articles.
These similar editing habits suggest that Ylogm, Dmhw are the same user. After Ylogm was blocked on March 3, 2023, the account Dmhw was created on March 8 to evade the block [22].
Do you know how Dmhw can be stopped?

Scientific racism
I noticed you commented previously on the Scientific racism page and so I was hoping you might look at a change I've proposed, and on the feedback I'm getting from other editors. I'm proposing to add an entry on Thomas Malthus. You can see my proposed text in my sandbox, and feedback from other editors on Talk:Scientific racism#Thomas Malthus. It's a bit noisy, maybe clearer towards the end.
A general concern I have about the Scientific racism page is that it expends a lot of space on decontextualized racist quotes from 17th and 18th century individuals that while deeply offensive had questionable impact, as their racism was casual and incoherent, representing immature science and ordinary beliefs in their era. Meanwhile the page totally ignores individuals like Malthus, Spencer, Shockley and Terman whose racism is overt and strategic, and who were major figures in Social Darwinism and Eugenics, recognized precursors to fascism and genocide. JBradleyChen (talk) 04:34, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Eh, thanks for the heads up. My own concern was the WP:UNDUE Anglo-American focus inevitably produced by the WP:BIAS of—especially lazy or poorly informed—English contributors who have trouble properly contextualizing things and thinking their own open and multicultural societies that overcame fascism are the sole font of all modern evils around the world. My own thought was that there should be more from earlier in the scientific revolution and more on continental sources. Piling in additional English thinkers doesn't improve any of that.
- That said, yeah, my understanding is that Malthus's terrible economics and disaster scenarios were pretty influential. I don't believe any racism of his was terribly important—although you could prove me wrong with your sourcing—but he'd be worth mentioning (with cites) as an influence in Continental and Anglo-American concerns over "waste" of "limited resources" by "lesser races" in actually influential works on public policy and theory. I'd be amazed if there were none. — LlywelynII 08:45, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- I totally agree that the article is very euro-centric. I don't see sound, objective criteria for deciding who is included or not included. Your suggestion of including Oscar Peschel makes sense to me.
- Regarding Malthus, I don't understand what is wrong with the citations I've provided. Chase 1977 and the six others I discussed yesterday all seem valid to me. I don't see any objectivity in the refusal of the other editors to consider them.
- I am pretty new here, and am trying to figure out how to navigate the policies and culture of Wikipedia to fix pages like this. I'm not reluctant to challenge the positions of the prevailing editors, but I want to be smart about it and use the system properly.
- That said, I'm less certain of your position regarding "the beginning of civilization." There surely has been violence between various cultural groups and class discrimination for millennia, but I would argue that "science" didn't really exist before Bacon's development of the scientific method. Also, I find Muller-Wille argument convincing the concept of "race" didn't exist as such until the 18th century (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4326670/pdf/emss-61956.pdf).
- Regardless I would appreciate your point of view in the Scientific_racism page so am hoping you might take an interest. JBradleyChen (talk) 13:34, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Eh, science is "Eurocentric" during the early years. There's just an UNDUE focus on the Anglo-American bit vs what I'm certain were similar currents in France and Germany. — LlywelynII 09:14, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- I assume you are thinking 17th century and earlier? Who did you have in mind? The article mentions Bernier, Buffon, Blumenbach, Pruner, Schopenhaur, Cuvier, Meiners, and also Linneaus (swedish). It doesn't mention Voltaire although I understand he argued for polygenism. Which early scholars do you think had the largest impact? JBradleyChen (talk) 02:16, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

- Edit: @JBradleyChen: Oh, I just finished the rest of your comment. If you are new here, I guess I'm just sorry you had the bad luck to pick that article as one of the places to get your feet wet. Anything tangentially related to America's culture wars right now—somehow inclusive of Covid and global warming—is essentially locked down by religious zealots who are rapidly approaching parity with discussions of borders and ethnic history in the Balkans, articles in Arabic about the history of Israel, or articles in Chinese about the status of Greater China. I made my points on the talk page and then planned to leave that entire mess alone. It'll approach something objective and reasonable a few centuries from now, if then.
- One amusing solution would be to make your arguments somewhere slightly less nuts, like the French, German, Chinese, &c. articles on the same topic. If your points are valid and are well received by tens of other communities, it makes the Americans look a little bit nuttier to continue trying to maintain their walled garden. Almost none of them will be involved in multiple projects in other languages.
- More seriously, if you really have an issue with one guy or a cohort of like-minded ideologues who have WP:OWNERSHIP issues over the page and you really want to push upstream against them, the actual solution is (a) pay attention to their legitimate concerns with your ideas and address those concerns by improving your content and its sourcing, not by arguing back and forth; (b) stay civil, polite, and calm during the discussions that help you improve your content, always assuming the good faith of even objectively unhelpful editors; imagine they're being unhelpful because they really don't see your point yet and will be able to in the end, but don't argue back and forth in the hope they'll see the light on their own; and (c) bring your improved version to a larger audience than the people who continuously monitor that page and its talk. Don't do anything counterproductive like getting a random group on a different website to brigade the discussion but you can always try emailing the actual professors or their assistants and seeing if they might pop by. Within Wikipedia, you can go to the different community portals for people who hang out a lot around here, things like the Help Desk or Teahouse; you can post open requests for feedback on the talk pages of the WikiProjects who might have intelligent editors interested in the topic, here like WT:HISTORY, WT:USHIST, WT:ANTHROPOLOGY, WT:EUROPE, WT:RACISM &c. &c. &c.; or, most often, you can follow the WP:RFC procedure to just get anyone who might be involved to pop by. You'll need to create a new section with a fair summary of both sides of the disagreement, though, since absolutely no one is going to read through what's already there. — LlywelynII 09:54, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- Your (a) (b) (c) approach makes sense, and is kind-of what I'm trying to do, although I worry about (b). Regarding (c), I may want to do that, but I figure I ought to try to work with the current editors first, assuming good faith and the friction is just my inexperience. That said it's easy for me to imagine people might want to bury or protect a character like Malthus.

- I'm glad you mentioned "a fair summary"; I tried to summarize the situation (on the Talk page, 16:55, 12 May 2023). One of the editors kind-of flipped out. I didn't think my summary was that bad. He left me imagining it was against the Wikipedia culture to summarize.
- One thing I'm wondering about is to what degree the editors I'm dealing with have an agenda and to what degree it is just me being a noob. Obviously nobody has admitted to having any sort of agenda, although I've tried to be transparent about my concerns about the page. JBradleyChen (talk) 03:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- @JBradleyChen: It's 130% them and the only noobish part of it is trying to talk only to them after the first 130k characters didn't budge anyone and they "kind-of flipped out" at a neutral attempt at a summary, which they presumably took as you attempting to "control" their "narrative".

- I'm sure they're mostly sane people with their friends and family. That article is a lightning rod for American secular-religious zealotry, though, and that's what you're running into... assuming you're responding to their legitimate complaints and looking for broader secondary coverage and good examples of primary shout-outs to Malthus's influence. (If you haven't, y'know, do that too.)
- Do keep being fair minded, do broaden the discussion in fair and open ways like I described, and kindly don't hold this bad experience against the project as a whole. Altogether, the guys being so strident do mean well and presumably are putting their best foot forward as far as addressing the evils of their own culture's history. Trump & co. have fried a lot of nerves in the native English-speaking world. Don't take it personally but do try your best to move the project as a whole forward, not just arguing in circles. — LlywelynII 12:06, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Unblock Request on Behalf of User:Geographyinitiative
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Appointment_red.svg/48px-Appointment_red.svg.png)
LlywelynII (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
1. Apologies if this is the wrong format or venue. No, I don't have a double secret block on my account. (I think.) I'm just making a request on behalf of User:Geographyinitiative to undo their permanent suspension. Checking their global edit total, I accidentally noticed they have a permanent block here which was stunning to me.
2. I see now that there were extremely good reasons for the ban and they didn't help the issue with the way they handled their own appeals 2 or 3 years ago. I assume any new attempt on their own part to lift the ban now gets eyerolls and a "not this guy again" treatment.
3. If it helps, I just want to be a character witness.
1st, apparently GI is pretty young and 2–3 years ago would've been even younger. The lead of their Wiktionary user page is still complaining about colleges not giving enough credit for AP tests. They were disruptive and unhelpful then, treating even a mention of the more common way of writing Chinese characters as a political issue instead of an accessibility one and ignoring very clear messages from the community and admins. They have grown since then.
2nd, the 68k helpful edits they've built up since then at Chinese and English-from-Chinese entries on Wiktionary speak to the fact they're extremely productive, increasingly better informed on these topics, and helpful. If possible, you don't want to keep them away from all the help they could provide with Chinese places, bios, and info... or wherever else their next passion project goes.
Most importantly, 3rd, during those edits they really have taken it to heart not to push their understanding—as good as it usually is—without first WP:AGF and trying to see where the other people are coming from. They've learned to work within the process and won't be doing a repeat of the mess that set this off in the first place.
4. Of course, User:Geographyinitiative would need to come by and tell you in person that they really do understand now. I'm just someone who can point out they really do mean it when they say they've changed and shown edit after edit, month after month that they've learned that lesson.
...and, yeah, if this is completely the wrong venue, just point in the right direction or let me know that GI can start the unblock process themself and this message will help skip the "no, just go away and get gud" stage of the process. — LlywelynII 02:15, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
If you wish to initiate an unblock request for Geographyinitiative, that discussion would take place at User_talk:Geographyinitiative or WP:AN. Ideally, this request would be initiated by Geographyinitiative, and would be a request consistent with the guide to appealing blocks.
I am closing this request primarily as LlywelynII isn't blocked. The best venue, if you need to request an unblock on the behalf of another user that is capable of posting thier own unblock request would be WP:AN. Otherwise, the editor in question can make thier own request at thier talkpage after reading the guide to appealing blocks. SQLQuery Me! 05:23, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Categories
Articles are not allowed to be left sitting in redlinked categories, and you are not entitled to go around putting non-existent categories back onto articles with demands that other people create them for you — for one thing, not every category that people could conceivably want to add articles to is justifiable for creation, and for another, anybody else can only create the category for you if they already have enough prior background knowledge about the topic to know where it belongs in the tree (which is necessary because categories have to have other parent categories) and what other items belong in the category (which is necessary because a category isn't generally justifiable for creation until it has at least five things in it.)
So no, you don't get to go around adding redlinked categories and then demanding that they sit there until somebody gets around to creating them on your behalf — the use of redlinked categories is strictly forbidden, so your only options are either you create the category yourself or you don't use it at all. Bearcat (talk) 16:58, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- And you don't get to bite newbies or blank valid content. See also WP:POINT.
- Kindly find something more productive to do with your time. Creating the categories you already know are missing would be a start. — LlywelynII 16:59, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
Jian'an (Eastern Han) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Jian'an (Eastern Han), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. SBD091 (talk) 12:12, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- Not remotely how this should've been handled—months of use, months of other editors tinkering, no discussion, no fact tags from you or anyone else, no question from you or anyone else re: actual content—for any page, let alone one that is necessary for its year chart and has no actual problems like this one. Anyway, rather than jumping through hoops to try to figure out what the actual problem was imagined to be, I'll just try to get this mistake fixed. It helps no one at all to remove entirely valid information like this article (which is standard or even an improvement vs the other era articles it copied its format from), even if it's of course better to have more cites eventually.
- In the future, whether an admin decides Wikipedia's actually better off blanking this article or not, the correct way to handle an article like this is to actually talk to people and point out actual problems with the information... at minimum, where something seems like it might be problematic. No, no one will ever respond well to "I'm deleting your helpful work for no reason except misapplication of policy unless you drop everything you're doing and go hunt sources for points no one is questioning". For newer users, you're bound to turn some off the project entirely. — LlywelynII 13:23, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Category redirects
Hello, LlywelynII,
You can't create a category redirect like an article redirect. There is a different code/template used. Look at Category:Agriculture in ancient Rome for an example. Please go back and fix all of the inaccurate category redirects you created so they conform to the proper formatting. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 07:19, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for keeping an eye on things but I obviously can. It's what you're unhappy with. Moreover, italicized notes of the category (which are created by the redirects I created) seem vastly preferable to soft redirects where those aren't specifically called for.
- If you've got a policy to poke people about, kindly remember to link it if you or others get pulled into discussions like this semioften. Not saying it's a duty on you (like you were trying to do with me) but you and others who police this might also find it would be a vastly better use of everyone's time to have the code get annoyed if this is an actual problem for the project. Don't actually do it, but go see what happens when you try to redirect a page to itself for something like what I'm talking about. Something like that would actually point out that people can't do this if there's a new policy the admins prefer. Similarly, if this is an identifiable and generally agreed on problem, talk to the bot team about running cleanup. If there's a policy you can link to, I'll get around to doing it eventually, sure, but it's not going to be a major priority and seems (from your example) to be worse on its merits. Add my vote to Oppose wherever that discussion happened, if it did. — LlywelynII 07:27, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Wu people?
In the talk page of this page, you said you wanted to move that page name to « Wu people », a move I agree with, but when will it happen? Or does it need special permission from certain people to make such a move, uniformizing the page as well with other similar peoples like the Waxiang, Zhuang and Cantonese? 166.62.226.9 (talk) 00:13, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @166.62.226.9: It doesn't need any special permission, although it may require a formal move request. The main issue is being willing to take the time for the necessary adjustments and to fight any silly people who come along who (mistakenly) like where it is now. You're welcome to do it and can cite me for support, but it'll be easier for you if you have a registered username. Anonymous IP addresses mucking around with page location tend to be reverted on general principle, so you'd just be creating extra work for yourself trying to do it from an anonymous number. — LlywelynII 00:17, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, LlywelynII,
Category redirects are created differently than article redirects. If you just use the standard code then they show up to be tagged for CSD C1 deletion on the Empty Categories list. If you look at the code/template on this page, maybe you could use it as an example for any category redirects you want to create in the future. Once you see it, it's easy to remember it's just that few editors have cause to create category redirects so it's not widely known. Any way, thank you for all of the work you do on the project.
