Yunnan Template

Hey, I'm sorry if I stepped on your feet at Template:Yunnan3. I and another user are currently making templates like this for all Chinese provinces. You can see our progress at Wikipedia:WikiProject China/County-division templates. Since we seemed to be working on the same thing, I thought that I would change the template a bit so that the colors matched the others and move it to a title similar to the others. I should have asked you first, though, I'm sorry. I won't change your template again, and I hope that we can work together to get all of these templates done (not to mention creating all of the articles still missing for county-level divisions in China).--Danaman5 (talk) 03:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

In October, I created all the Yunnan Prefecture templates. I've changed the main Yunnan template as I want to model the organization of administrative divisions on the chinese and japanese wikipedias. What do you think? --40fifw0 (talk) 03:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Looks good to me. If we have this new template, do we still need the prefecture templates? They show some of the same information.--Danaman5 (talk) 07:36, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am in the current process of replacing them. I've done Xishuangbanna and Wenshan so far. Can I ask you a question, how were you able to delete the history of Template:Yunnan3 when you merged it into the other template?--40fifw0 (talk) 11:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

The history of Yunnan3 is not actually gone, it is now the history of the other template. Moves are weird like this.--Danaman5 (talk) 16:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, how can I delete Yunnan3, now that I've transferd its content to Template:Yunnan? I've finished with it now.--40fifw0 (talk) 16:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

I am an administrator and can delete articles within Wikipedia guidelines. I went ahead and deleted the template as a non-controversial cleanup action.--Danaman5 (talk) 20:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Im trying to finish off Yunnan with things such as navbox and complete infoboxes, including geocoordinates and maps. Im also considering recategorizing all these Yunnan counties by prefecture, as currently they are all in one category.

Also are not all the counties for other provinces created yet? You said (above) you want to get them done. How so? With just us two. --40fifw0 (talk) 01:01, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Yup, there are still hundreds of counties left to be done. I have been translating them from the Chinese Wikipedia (which has all of them). I would prefer this, instead of making a one sentence stub. I think it might be just us two. Don't know what to tell you, I guess it will just take a while.--Danaman5 (talk) 06:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

From my experience adding interlanguage links between Chinese counties it seems to me that the French and Vietnamese wikipedia (as well as zh.wiki of course) have all counties done, the Japanese and German wikipedias have the vast majority created, and Norwegian wikipedia is about the same level as en.wiki. I know this may sound kind of abstract but is it possible we could get more people to join us to get them done. To be honest I don't think I can do even one province by myself, unless I stay here for several years.--40fifw0 (talk) 06:35, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Ungrammatical?

Please enlighten me on how is my edit ungrammatical. I did not change any of the syntax or grammar of the sentence but merely rearranged nominal rank before PPP rank - which is the most commonly accepted way or ranking economies. 130.113.81.33 (talk) 02:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I left out "is" - you could probably have told that it was a simple omission. Regardless, my point on stating nominal rank before PPP rank still holds true. 130.113.81.33 (talk) 02:20, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
