Shang Dynasty
The finds at Anyang are well known, and there is a source listed, Keightley's Sources of Shang History which talks about the finds and inscriptions found on the oracle bones there. The nine rulers, principly Wuding to DiXin are found in the inscriptions by various ritualised names for the deceased rulers. In the inscriptions, the Shang warred with numerous opponents, took slaves for sacrifice and other mundane things. Shang inscriptions also mention the Zhou, a peoples which then took over Shang. Before the 1899 finds at Anyang, all we knew about the Shang mainly came from Shiji, the Historical Records, some of which are plainly mythical in origin (e.g. the time of Huangdi etc). The Shang royal house after conquest wasn't destroyed utterly, but during the beginning of the Zhou dynasty, the lands of the Shang were given over to Weizi Qi, the brother of the last Shang King, and made the State of Song. The state continued in existence until 286 BC when it was conquered by its neighbours. Other sources of information include some of the oldest Chinese literature including Shijing, The Books of Poetry, in which some of the poems/songs praise the ancestors of the Shang.
If you are editing an area with which you are unfamiliar, you may wish to use the 'citation needed' boilerplate, before cutting away huge swathes of text. Otherwise, your use of 'original research' as justification for cutting away stuff may be taken as vandalism. Dylanwhs 07:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Guqin
Absolutely the information you added back into the guqin article is very relevant, and should be there. I don't know how or why it got removed in the first place. Badagnani 01:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
template:country
Why do you keep adding and removing an empty line to template:country? [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. This causes all transcluding pages to be cache-purged. --Ligulem 19:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Editorial assistance
I apologize for not recognizing you earlier. I am just getting familiar with this type of userbox. You may want to place the following on your user page:

WHS Template
I believe the name of the sites should be listed as given in the UNESCO WHS website. Linking it to the correct pages is not an issue (I'd already done it in the change). Using different names creates ambiguity and I feel is simply not correct. I suggest we change it back to the 'full name' format. Your thoughts... --Natrajdr 10:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Etiquette
It probably wasn't necessary to append the comment "Show some demonstration of academic knowledge" when removing previously-added material from the List of monarchs of Korea article, per Wikipedia:Etiquette. Omnedon 17:26, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- This user was adding materials that has never appeared on the article before and if you look at the contents he added, most likely you won't find it on any reference works. I probably should've just said the contents wasn't academic material though.--TheLeopard 18:42, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I have indeed read the article before. However, I've been too busy to do anything about it. I'm going to ask that members of Wikipedia:Wikiproject China take a look it it. I'm sure they will find it interesting. --Ghostexorcist 07:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
You seem to be interested in Chinese history. Although you may have seen it on the main page this past Sunday, I thought you would like to read an article I wrote on the military teacher of famous Song Dynasty General Yue Fei. --Ghostexorcist 22:05, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Reply
In fact, User:TheLeopard, I would be glad next time if you at least attempt a discussion with me before calling for the complete revert of my "massive new edits." I happened on this post only by chance and I percieve it as bad faith. I wrote the original "mainland China", and I agreed with the change to "China proper" by another user, so I don't see the dispute here. I don't see why "newly added materials" seem to equal to "unreliable materials" in your mind, but I'm pretty sure they are well-explained and referenced themselves, and if you really need further explanation, you could put it on my user talk page. Aran|heru|nar 09:04, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- China proper, I believe, is a geographic term. If it applied to the Qing dynasty, I don't see how it couldn't apply to the PRC or the ROC. I think it states that clearly in the China proper article.
- I admit parts of the article China is not referenced well enough, and I would be glad if you could find one suitable for me because most of mine are in Chinese. However, I believe I have explained my edits well enough such that there is no dispute, and thus no need for citations. For example, my quote of the Records of the Grand Historian - I don't see the dispute for that. Since the China article is important and thus the etymology section could not be too long, I don't think we should focus too much on it. I have made a much larger edit to the Names of China article, and if there is any problem, I believe a reader could go to that article. Anyway, if you find any dispute, please state it and not just call for the revert of my edits simply because you see no reference. Aran|heru|nar 12:25, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- mainland China and China proper are two different things, and if you still have a problem with its usage, go ask the user who added it. It's frankly none of my business.
- Please point out why it is messy and how I could improve it, with a few practical examples instead of just pointing fingers at my changes.
- I don't feel my translations make it "more difficult" to read for English readers, and I don't see any problem with the prose. Again, please give me a few practical examples on how to improve it. Aran|heru|nar 06:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've posted all of my responses to your comments and questions on your talk page. However since you are currently being blocked from editing (and your user talk page being protected), that prevents me from commenting furthur.--TheLeopard (talk) 07:50, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Tibet and South Asia
When editing Tibet you stated that you have dispute that it can be considered South Asian. There is a dispute over this in Talk:South Asia. The debate was instigated by an ip vandal 210.0.212.59, claiming the view is ultranationalistic propaganda providing no explanation why. So anyways, if you have the time can you please join this debate. Thank you. Sincerely, Thegreyanomaly (talk) 04:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
A little request
Hi!
I haved deleted all Islamic related articles in some articles of Chinese dynasties and Religion in China. I think Editingman (and look at his contributions) weren't a vandal but he could be an extremely Muslim because he was added his Islamic articles which all were superfluous and un-needed; it's just like promotion or advertising for his Islam!And I appreciate your neutral revisions!
Could you send a warning for his vandalism because you are one of the professional contributors in Chinese ralated articles!Thank so much and best wishes to you in 2008!!

Pollution in PRC
Hey,
How can you say Scientific American is a most trustworthy source than the world bank? I mean c'mon. The world bank is one of the few global institutions which has worldwide recognition. Cnn, Time, The Guardian, have all reported on the report by the world bank about the fact that 16 of the most polluted cities are in prc. I am not saying that scientific american is wrong about the top 10, but the report from the world bank is more credible and broader.[1] Nikkul (talk) 20:26, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, just wanted to let you know that I'm impressed with your patience and your diplomacy. If only all wiki editors were like you... Nikkul (talk) 22:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Revert or not?
Hi! I want to hear your judgment to select whose revision of Religion in China; Angelo or Saimdusan:
Thank you so much!
Angelo De La Paz (talk) 09:41, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
You can see that saimdusan has deleted over 10 sources. I can not stand his perverse edits. He don't hear anyone because I were still keep his citation given! His contributions in Religion in China was very unrespectful!
Angelo De La Paz (talk) 10:10, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment TheLeopard! I've requested admin to block that article (edit war); I've only reverted to the neutral version (as you can see)! I think you could edit it after 2 weeks (it will be soon). Don't worry! I will always appreciate your contributions! Thank you so much! Have a nice day! Angelo De La Paz (talk) 09:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Religion in China
Thanks for your message [8] on my talk page. I am willing to make very general fixes to Religion in China while it is protected, however any changes to the content need to be brought up at Talk:Religion in China first for consensus building. Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 13:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Vandal fighting
Hi, TheLeopard. Thank you for fighting vandalism on the English Wikipedia. I want to take this opportunity to kindly remind you to always assume good faith when talking to other editors. Many editors are unaware of the wiki process and get easily frustrated. One particular editor that I'm dealing with now is User:FACT NEEDED. While replying to his comments on User talk:FACT NEEDED, I noticed one of your comments you used the word 'deplorable' to describe his contributions. While the newly added comment may have been that in your eyes, we encourage all skill sets of writers to contribute to Wikipedia. Please keep this in mind in the future and possibly look to offer solutions to these types of problems. You may give warnings to users you feel are vandalising the system or misusing it, but please proceed in a 'professional' manor. Thanks for your time, and see you around the counter-vandalism network! Mkdwtalk 10:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
@TheLeopard, here is the link about Marco polo. http://books.google.com/books?id=xJsv-bJe27kC&pg=PA100&dq=The+Travels+of+Marco+Polo+turkistan&lr=&ei=7vDJR4muI4eqtgPd8ujRAw&sig=Sa28QpYYhX-adESnMDCEwuY4dDk FACT NEEDED (talk) 00:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
I want to hear your opinions!
Dear TheLeopard! Nice to see you again!
I know that you are contribtuting in many articles related to Chinese culture, Chinese history, etc...and I appreciate your contributions. In last days, in Religion in China has had controversies between me and Saimdusan (strong anti-Buddhism and Chinese religions). Please give us your opinions and let people know more about the truth of Asian culture. It's really needed!
Thank you so much!
