Battle of Triangle Hill

Have you considered submitting this for GA review? It might help to iron out some issues on the way to FA. Cheers Socrates2008 (Talk) 10:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

article Triangle Hill

Per this statement I found on the Chinese sources:

• 所以战斗开始后被称为597.9和537.7高地战斗。这两个高地后面的山洼里有个才十几户人家的小村庄，叫上甘岭。

Rough translation: In the valley behind Triangle Hill and Sniper Ridge, there is a hamlet with 10 families that is called Shangganling.

So Shangganling is not Triangle Hill, it is a hamlet that is behind the Triangle Hill.

I took the liberty to move the page to the name Shanganling.

Ok, as you wish. May be you can check if there is any corresponding Korean text. I cannot type Korean until I installed the corresponding scim component. --Tomchiukc (talk) 06:58, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Urumqi riots -- images

There's a new idiot here, I would appreciate your input if you have time. Thanks, rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 21:58, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The Ürümqi Barn"star"
		Thanks for all your work maintaining the article July 2009 Ürümqi riots during its time on the main page. This has been a difficult and thankless task, working at a frenetic pace for 4 days straight so far (I, for one, have been getting very little sleep), and it's only been thanks to coordinated efforts and discussion from numerous editors that the article has been kept as neutral and informative as possible. This is the most collaboration I've done, with the largest number of editors at once, since I have joined Wikipedia, and I think the results are showing; while it's not perfect, when my friends and family ask me about what's going on in Urumqi, I have been more comfortable recommending this article than any other source. The work is far from over, but now that this article is off the main page I think it's finally time to thank the editors Seb az86556, Colipon, Jim101, Ohconfucius, Benlisquare, Simonm223, and Jinhuili for all their contributions; while we had disagreements, I think each of these editors has been particularly active and has made real efforts to improve the article.rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 20:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Re this edit: just for clarification, I believe there were protests on 7 July (most of the sources coming out then talk about women starting to protest the arrests of their husbands/sons/brothers/fathers, and a lot of the photos that have been published are from this time). That being said, the sources talking about the "Han mobs" seem to imply they were going after Uyghurs in general, not just trying to clash with protesters, so your removal was a good idea; just wanted to clarify the 'protest' thing in case it comes up again. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Dang and blast! Overnight, you leapfrogged me in the edit count. I have some catching up to do now... ;-) Ohconfucius (talk) 04:07, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh I did? Well then I suggest you to start some copy editings...mine is horrible. Jim101 (talk) 04:11, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Translation request

Thank you very much for your prompt response. I have one question. There is another article I found that seems to have more translation. It is located here. It includes a translated passage that reads The production of material goods is continually decreasing; while the amount of fictitious capital is increasing. The physical economy and the fictitious monetary expansion are placed on two curves, one heading upward and one heading downward. As the growth in the fictitious element more and more exceeds the physical production, then the calamity strikes. Could you check this, and other material in this longer article, against the Chinese original? Thanks very much for your efforts. --Coleacanth (talk) 21:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Jim, but it is specifically the jargon about curves and models that I wanted to know about. LaRouche has a model called the "triple curve" diagram that one editor is trying to delete because he says it's not notable. I would like to use the China Youth Daily as a source for its notability, if you can confirm the curves part. --Coleacanth (talk) 23:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks very much, Jim. --Coleacanth (talk) 00:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
