Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Raymon Harry Anning

Greetings!

I am recently reading and improving articles regarding the Commissioners of Police. I would like to raise your attention to Tang King Shing and Lee Ming-Kwai and see if they can be model pages for articles like Li Kwan Ha, Hui Ki On and Tsang Yam Pui.

Also, I would like to inform you that I will start writing Raymon Anning (顏理國), the last British Commissioner of the RHKP and the predecessor of Li Kwan Ha. I will invite you to peer review soon. Nxn 0405 chl 17:34, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Lee Ming-Kwai definitely needs a lot more sources. Plus, I think generally biographical articles do not title sections as "Biography", because technically the entire article is a biography. But I don't think there's a policy against it. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 18:18, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I am working on Raymon Anning now and I have a problem on copyright. Please help think of the fair-use rationale of this photo of Ray Anning. It is from Offbeat, the magazine of HKP. Thank you! Nxn 0405 chl 11:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

I worked on Tang King Shing a little bit awhile ago when I tried to fix everyone on the precedence list. I can help out with fixing the s-box in the pages mentioned. I found that the Chinese version of Wikipedia has a lot more information that could be translated over to the English side, but the main problem seems to be citing the information and finding reliable sources.

Cantonese

Cantonese is up for renaming again. This time, the request is to move Canton dialect to Cantonese and move the dab page that is sitting there now to Cantonese (disambiguation). (A few months ago, the issue was the unrequested move of Cantonese to Yue, which now sits at Cantonese (Yue)... so this move would replace one kind of Cantonese (moved away earlier this year) with another kind of Cantonese (the current request), both linguistically based, and not the same concept).

The discussion is occurring at Talk:Canton dialect

This is obviously an issue of some interest to many involved in Hong Kong issues. The question is, why hasn't user 76.66.197.2 been contributing to the extensive debate at that talk page? Posting "alerts" on this page are fine, but not if the purpose is to sit back until the discussion is virtually over and then go in and disrupt the final vote. Editors, even anonymous editors, should be expected to contribute a bit more to the formation of Wikipedia articles than sudden opposing votes. Bathrobe (talk) 10:20, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I have been contributing, to Cantonese (Yue), which is what the title Cantonese used to contain. I paritcipated in various debates, the recent RfC, several of the renaming debates over SEVERAL YEARS on the issue. You should remember that most IP users have rotating IP addresses. 76.66.197.2 (talk) 04:44, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

So you have contributed in the past and are using rotating IP addresses. Your most recent comment at Canton dialect indicates that you have come in without reading recent discussions. Perhaps you should consider getting a handle. Discussion is a reciprocal process and becomes rather difficult if one participant is a shifting shape.Bathrobe (talk) 05:45, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I thought this issue got resolved when we renamed Yue Chinese to Cantonese (Yue)... Tavatar (talk) 22:16, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
