Fu Shiren

Your assertion that Fu Shiren's family name is actually Shi is incorrect. Please see, for example, http://ef.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/ccw/02/3k4.htm. (I know, not conclusive, but apparently Sima Guang considered it reliable enough to put the name into Zizhi Tongjian, which is fairly authoritative when it comes to these matters. http://www.chinakyl.com/rbbook/big5/sjcy/001_099/068.htm.) --Nlu 17:26, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've used San Guo Zhi as my source, which, being closer to the time period, would hopefully be more likely to be correct. In Fu Shiren's short biographical section there, no mention is made of the surname Fu. I don't really mind going either way though, since he was a pretty unimportant guy. --Omdal 00:29, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, but the commentaries to Sanguo Zhi (made not long after) made it clear that the commentators are unanimous in believing that Chen Shou got it wrong -- that Fu was the family name. Sima had no doubt whatsoever, and I think he's correct. --Nlu 00:39, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. We'll stick with Fu Shiren then. --Omdal 01:22, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Australian rules football

Hi mate, just wondering if you'd be interested in helping out with WikiProject AFL, a new project which has come a long way in the short time it's been running. Look forward to your contributions, add your name to the list if you like. Rogerthat 03:14, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Omdal, you mention on your user page that you are interested in cricket. Similarly to the AFL project there is WikiProject Cricket. It will be greatly appreciated if you join and help very much needed. Thanks. Da Gizza ^{Chat (c)} 22:27, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject NBL

Hey

I am wondering if you would like to join WikiProject NBL. I believe that this is something that you might be able to help me with, by creating user boxes and player boxes for it or even adding articles about Players

Cheers

AFL season article naming convention

As a participant of WikiProject AFL I thought you might be interested in this. I have started a vote to get a consensus on the naming convention for AFL season articles. You can participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject AFL#AFL season article naming convention. Cheers. Remy B 13:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
