I noticed your coming work on that article and was wondering whether you would be interested in producing articles on the other township-level divisions (towns, townships, subdistricts, and more) in mainland China. If you wish to join, sign your name here. Thanks much—Xiaoyu: 聊天 (T) 和 贡献 (C) 03:42, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi XiaoYu, I've never edited a talk page before so hopefully this is the right way to do it and you'll receive a notification that I replied to your message. I'm currently based in Beijing. I'll tell you what I know and what I don't know about the towns I've been to.
What I know about them: 1) I know their English and Chinese names 2) I could place them on the map 3) I've seen their main landmarks 4) I took lots of photos 5) I know how you get there
What I don't know: 1) I don't have GPS readings for most of the places I've been to 2) I don't know how to get suitable references for anything that I say in the article.
I've read the guidelines and I'm still not sure whether what I know is actually enough to create these articles.

- Coordinates can be found when typing in the address of the place in a programme like Google Earth. Best use Chinese, though. —Xiaoyu: 聊天 (T) 和 贡献 (C) 15:21, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
- ah ok so not having at least one reference is not a problem then? because i read the guidelines and it says you need at least one reference. i didn't know that rule wasn't strict. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azylber (talk • contribs)
- Use xzqh.org, the county-level government website (many give introductions to the towns, townships, etc.), or some other source. —Xiaoyu: 聊天 (T) 和 贡献 (C) 18:42, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

You should consider getting this. It would help us new page patrollers out a lot :P "Pepper" @ 16:00, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Pepper, ok, I will request it. Thanks! Azylber (talk) 16:04, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- I'd be careful about using the coords from the sites you're using. I've been through a handful and some are way off. I've been replacing them with one's I've found using Google Maps. Quiché Airport, Neil Armstrong Airport, Gualaco Airport, Jurien Bay Airport. "Pepper" @ 19:02, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. But what should we do when various sources agree on the coords and google says they're all wrong? What is the standard way to find a final answer to the question? Azylber (talk) 19:06, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
- I'll bring something up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. We'll see what they think. "Pepper" @ 19:10, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

By the way, as regards getting Autopatrolled, I tried, but the admin didn't like the idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Autopatrolled
New Airport articles

Thanks for your run of new airport articles on Wikipedia. Your contributions to improve the encyclopedia are appreciated! Northamerica1000(talk) 21:28, 21 February 2012 (UTC) |
Thank you!!! Azylber (talk) 14:18, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
The article Moose Lake Airport has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- The only source I can find is a passing mention on Google News, so I don't think this airport passes the general notability guideline.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 12:54, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hangul
Hi,
Thank you for your recent comment on my revision! I appreciate how you provided "Moscow" as an example to support your argument.
This is something that I found: According to bridgetomoscow.com, the actual name of the city in Russian is "Moscva." The name of the city used to be "Moscov" when it was first found in 1147 and "Moscow" was used because 'Moscov" sound closer to the present-day English pronunciation.
I think this is the key part right here.
Like I mentioned earlier, "hangeul" sounds closer to the present-day English pronunciation than "hangul." Thus, it's more appropriate to use "hangeul" than "hangul." You are right that the official Korean romanization rules give us "Han'gŭl" or "hangeul," and my suggestion is to follow these rules. Why can't we use "hangeul" as an English variant? Is it because "hangul" is more western friendly? I would really appreciate it if someone can provide me with a concrete reason/evidence that why we cannot use "hangeul" as an English variant like "hangul."
Although I understand that romanizing any language can be very difficult one needs to acknowledge that Korean language has been proven to be one of the difficult languages for romanization compared to other Asian languages (Korean government used three different systems of romanization in the past). In 2000, the Korean government officially replaced this McCune–Reischauer system ("hangul") with Revised Romanization of Korean (hangeul), and I believe that it's respectful to follow their struggles for perfection of romanization not for just Koreans, but also for non-Koreans as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maymklee (talk • contribs) 00:23, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Stress in Russian
Hi, Azylber! Thanks for your note. However, this subject was previously discussed, and several people who cared at the time agreed that showing stresses is not necessary at all as long as IPA transcription is present; the rationale being that the stress marks are confusing to people who are not that familiar with Russian—i.e., the audience which is somewhat opposite of the audience you described under b). Additionally, the stressed spellings are routinely copy-pasted by folks who can't read Russian (or Cyrillic) at all, and they end up in most strange places, such as, and I kid you not, interwiki links. That most certainly counts as damage, albeit minor (and easily fixable) one.
Consensus, of course, may change over time, so my recommendation would be to post your comment on, say WT:RUSSIA or a talk page of other applicable WikiProjects. The reason I reverted is pretty much due to previous consensus—I myself don't really care whether stress is indicated using the stress marks or IPA.
