Hi CorrectlyContentious, and thanks for your message! I've also seen Arilang's nice additions. Let me try to integrate them better into the page. Madalibi (talk) 13:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, done! Madalibi (talk) 14:05, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My point was that the Han, Tang, and Ming dynasties were relatively better than many other countries. Their expansion(if it happened at all) was usually not very bloody or violent. For the British Empire, I counted the deaths in India(20 million in mutiny, 20-30 million in conquests, at least 50 million during Raj through Bengal famines and the like), as well as deaths in Maori Australia and South Africa(Boer War, Mau Mau Rebellion, etc...). If you add it up its a lot of people. For the Romans, the only event i found that was pretty barbaric was the burning of carthage, but it is a fact that Romans did enslave populations of conquered areas.Teeninvestor (talk) 20:26, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aldwych tube station

What was your basis for identifying the edit you reverted to this page as vandalism? Nick Cooper (talk) 20:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to your claim, it seems the film undoubtedly exists. Nick Cooper (talk) 14:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's too obscure to include on the page, even if the station was used, but that's an entirely separate issue from you labelling what was in all probability a good-faith addition as "vandalism" simply because you erroneously thought the programme didn't exist. I would suggest you should be more careful in your accusations in future. Nick Cooper (talk) 07:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:30, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
