- Baby Gender Mentor - this article was named today as a Featured Article on the English Wikipedia. The article has a connection to China. Therefore, I wonder if anyone here would like to translate it into any other langugages. - Johntex\talk 07:15, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, I'd definetly take the challenge when I have time (to translate it into Chinese). AQu01rius (User • Talk) 17:15, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have a userspace article I'm working on which refers to this source in one of its references. The headline, "百变小胖将拍电影演刘禅 或与刘德华搭档", has been Google-fied to "Variety film gets to his LIU Chan and Andy Lau or partner", which ain't right. Would it be possible for someone to offer a proper English translation, so that the citation looks a liitle more readable? Many thanks in advance. --DeLarge 22:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hi DeLarge I'm having difficulty accessing the weblink you provided so I'm unable to determine the context of the article. However I would assume 小胖 to be the stage name of an artist: "百变小胖将拍电影演刘禅 或与刘德华搭档" --> Versatile Little Fatty will star in the movie Liu Chan or partner with Andy Lau. 百变=ever-changing (literal translation=hundred change) - Mineowyn (talk) 13:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- The so called 百变小胖 is actually named 钱志君. He became famous after his face got photoshopped into hundreds of characters, thus dubbed 100 changing. He is currently called The Famous Fat Boy according to this website. For his "official" site, himself uses Xiao Pang, standing for little fatty. The phrase 演刘禅 或与刘德华搭档, noticing the space, means he will star as 刘禅 Liu Chan AND MAYBE partner with Andy Liu 刘德华.
- This is the movie.
- I would really love to translate 绿坝娘 into English. I find the topic quite fascinating, but I'm terrible at all the formatting stuff. Is there anyone out there who might be willing to team up? Tooironic (talk) 08:22, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- we already have a Chinese page herezh:中国人民解放军第16集团军, we need the english edition. I suggest the english page should be 16th Army (People's Republic of China).
- Is there an editor who has a reasonable skill in reading chinese who could help out for a short while with an article? I want to clean up the China Dragon article, but since the ownership changed hands, they haven't made an english website again. So I'm kind of stuck with awful google translations and its getting me nowhere. I'm just hoping someone might be able to help me with the Chinese ice hockey association [1] website and give it a quick skim and tell me if there is anything there that looks remotely useful (like say a subsection of the site dedicated to the team) or anything else before I go much further.--Crossmr (talk) 02:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Jintang Island- I searched a bit for maps of the island so I could draw one to better illustrate the article, and I found something that made me curious. This image, and this one too show a road(?) leading to the island. However, google maps (you can also try accessing several map sources simultaneously with flashearth) doesn't show any kind of linking between the island and the continental shore. What do those lines mean in the maps? Also, I'd like to ask you what this page says. Maybe we can integrate information from there into the article, or the map I intend to do. Thanks, Waldir talk 12:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)- Done, thanks to Mineowyn. See Talk:Jintang Island#Jintang Bridge.
Wo Hing Society Hall- Anyone can help me translate the main altar at the place? The Historic Society says it's dedicated to Guan Ti, but as you can see, it develops a red link. I don't want it to link to the wrong article, so any help would be appreciated.--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 21:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)- Done. Guan Ti is Guan Yu. The Ti is Cantonese pronunciation for Di, meaning Emperor Guan.
