Encyclopedia of China

Indeed I've been thinking of creating a template for this ref work for some time, as I quote that as a ref quite frequently. I might do that later, so as to give the citation of the work a consistent format. Anyway, I guess we should say something like "volume of fine art", not "art edition". Also, I think linking to commercial or payment-requiring sites should be avoided: I always remove those links linked to Amazon or Encyclopædia Britannica when I see them. Other may have different opinions, of course. Happy editing. Cheers.--K.C. Tang 03:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

先生太客气了。我对国学所知甚浅，但相信您也看到，这里写中国（以至东亚、中亚）东西的人实在太少，所以才不揣謭陋，东涂西抹，有甚么不对头的地方，还请斧请。祝编安。--K.C. Tang 01:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

避免冲突，这样做当然最好。老实说，大家都只是觉得维基百科有意思，才工余偷空来到这里来贡献一点点。日常生活已经够烦人的了，若在维基上还要生气，那太犯不着了。我也看到您跟别的用户的一些意见分歧，似乎往住跟资料来源有关。少数外国人全盘否定中文资料来源，这样的态度当然不对，但考虑到当代中国学术界良莠不齐的状况，对于国外人士的不信任，我们也只能体谅。没办法，只得尽量找可靠的资料来源，以理服人，若真的无法达成共识，那由它去吧，人生在世要做的事可多着呢！祝好。--K.C. Tang 01:31, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eiorgiomugini

I just want to thank you for your many quality edits to the article on the Tang Dynasty (and other articles) that I've worked on. I'm trying to get Tang Dynasty up to GA status at the moment, and I'm shooting for Featured. One question though, do you think the article is a bit too long? Or just right?--PericlesofAthens 20:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, one more thing, please. You are usually good at finding Chinese character names for articles; I've been expanding Su Shi's article, and was wondering if you could you find the character name for Su Mai, Su Shi's eldest son. He's mentioned twice in Su Shi's article, once in the Life section and the other in the Travel Literature sub-section.--PericlesofAthens 16:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!--PericlesofAthens 02:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Back onto the subject of the Tang Dynasty, I have updated its talk page with the section "FA status, perhaps?" and I'd like you to comment (since you've put a lot of effort into the article). I'm really trying to get the article up to FA status, since the two articles that I've been able to raise to Featured Article status, Shen Kuo and Technology of the Song Dynasty, are, well, having to do with the Song Dynasty (and I don't want to seem like some big Song Dynasty fan freak. Lol).

Take care, hope you provide some valuable input.--PericlesofAthens 19:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question: how could An Lushan be unsuccessful in military campaigns against the Khitans since the year 736 if he did not become a military commander until 744? I am confused.--PericlesofAthens 09:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I knew about his rise to fame because of Yang Guifei, but was unsure about his career before 744.--PericlesofAthens 09:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gunpowder

Don't jump the gun, Eiorgiomugini. The pic that is said to be attributed to Milemete is "De Secretis Secretorum", the black and white image below, while the colored image on top is said to be actually by him, the one that actually appears in the history of gunpowder article (notice in the link that your provided there is an extra split image at the bottom half of the first pic that is described). As for Bacon, I am not sure, I am not an expert on him. Also, there is no copyright problem with the picture found in the history of gunpowder article, as it has already been placed in wiki commons.--PericlesofAthens 14:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those are all really good questions, I just don't know the answer to any of them. I've already exhausted my part in helping and defending the Chinese section of the history of gunpowder article. If you look at the talk page for gunpowder, you'll see what I'm saying (although the page was not created by me, most of the written work on China in history of gunpowder is my doing, even some writing for the Islamic world, India, and Europe).--PericlesofAthens 02:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Written Chinese characters needed for new pagoda articles

I have recently created new articles for the Xumi Pagoda and Beisi Pagoda of the Tang and Song dynasties, respectively. As of now their articles lack the proper Chinese character names alongside their English names, and I was wondering if you could take some time to add them. Thanks Eiorgiomugini.--PericlesofAthens 09:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I just created the article for Lingxiao Pagoda, and that will need Chinese character names accompanying its English-spelled name as well. Thanks!--PericlesofAthens 11:39, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An Lushan was Persian? That's news to me. I always thought he was Sogdian-Turkish. Britannica says his family name "An" is derived from the area of Bukhara (Sogdiana), while his personal name is from the Iranian "rowshan," or "light." What to make of this, I do not know. I will most likely scour the online scholarly journal sources at JSTOR for a clearer answer.--PericlesofAthens 12:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First off, thanks for adding those character names to the articles! Very cool. Second of all, my book East Asia: A Cultural, Social, and Political History, says that An Lushan was Sogdian and Turkish. Another book by Charles Benn, China's Golden Age: Everyday Life in the Tang Dynasty, also says that he is Sogdian and Turkish. I don't have many other books talking about him or his rebellion in depth. JSTOR wasn't much of a help.--PericlesofAthens 19:05, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although he was not from Persia directly, you do realize though that the Sogdians were an Iranian people?--PericlesofAthens 19:07, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is the debate still going on? I haven't checked the page in a while. It's sort of pointless to argue whether An Lushan was Persian or Sogdians, because Sogdians were a Persian people who spoke the Sogdian language (one of the extinct Middle Iranian languages), yet they were set apart from Persians in what is now Iran because they lived in Sogdiana (Bukhara) and spoke a different dialect, hence we call them Sogdians, not Persians. Anyways, I just created a new article on the Liaodi Pagoda, the tallest pre-modern Chinese pagoda tower in China's history. I was wondering if you could be so kind as to apply the Chinese character names for the pagoda. Thanks for doing that by the way, you have really helped out on a lot of articles I've created.--PericlesofAthens 14:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!--PericlesofAthens 16:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tang Dynasty

Good suggestion, I created a scroll bar for the notes section in the Tang Dynasty article. Have a look!--PericlesofAthens 03:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. I have blocked both you and 71.107.171.45 (talk · contribs) for 24 hours for violating the three-revert rule. In future, please refrain from this sort of edit warring. —David Eppstein 06:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What User:David Eppstein had been doing is an admin's abuse, that guy had been disscussing personalities rather than context itself, he should be blocked and certainly not me. Eiorgiomugini 06:29, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did block him. You were both violating the 3RR rule, both on Heron's formula and on Qin Jiushao. As WP:3RR states, "In the cases where multiple editors violate the rule, administrators should treat all sides equally." —David Eppstein 06:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are no doubt the worst admin I had seen, I save my beneath on you. Eiorgiomugini 07:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"where multiple editors" It said multiple editors, do you consider an ip anon. as editor? What are you doing anyway? "where multiple editors violate the rule" I did not violated the rule, so this rule doesn't work on me. This ip anon. should had been blocked for infinity, since he had been making personal attack and making 3rr reverts. Eiorgiomugini 07:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're a abusing by using your admin competence, go srcoll over the history of Heron's formula and on Qin_Jiushao and see if I had violated any 3rr. Eiorgiomugini 06:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Admin David Eppstein blocking is totally unjustified, this is nonesene, you blocked an ANON. IP, who could come back with another revert, but you blocked an account who never violated the 3rr rules, what kind of crap was that. Eiorgiomugini 06:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"You were both violating the 3RR rule" No, he did it, and I did not, thus not both in any sense. Infact all revert today was started out by him on Qin Jiushao [8] and Heron's formula [9]. Eiorgiomugini 06:59, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors" This ip anon. was unwilling to discuss nor work over to the issue on the content, instead he had been making personal attack over me. Eiorgiomugini 07:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule." Get that straight, this guy had been using different ip address while doing reverts, and he had perform a large number of reversions over the past few days, so even his ip is blocked he would be back in another ip. Eiorgiomugini 06:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And no, I did not exceed the amount of 3rr, this is totally nonsense, he was a sock puppet of User:JarlaxleArtemis, go take a look at his user page and get a clue. This article Ch'in Chiu-Shao was initially created by him [10], which is the main reason why is back on reverting the redirect. Eiorgiomugini 06:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
