Fan Zhi

Are you planning further expansion on it? You've done a pretty good job at the article so far, but it is not complete. Do you wish to complete it, or do you want me to try to take a stab at it? --Nlu (talk) 19:39, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

User:Nlu please go ahead and work on it. Thanks for asking, but you didn't have to. Happy editing. Timmyshin (talk) 03:14, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Gender categories

Please read through Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality, especially the section on "Special subcategories". Thanks! Kaldari (talk) 05:05, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Also, can you undo your last several hundred edits or do you need help with that? Kaldari (talk) 05:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

I've read it a long time ago, and no I won't undo any of my edits. Timmyshin (talk) 05:10, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

That's fine, just please do not create any more categories like Category:Belizean male short story writers or assign any more articles to them. Kaldari (talk) 05:17, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Kaldari (talk) 05:32, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Timmy, only warning. You have been informed your high-speed edits are controversial. Pause now, and start discussing, or you will be blocked. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:36, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

It looks like you are continuing to create categories such as Category:20th-century Sierra Leonean male actors and Category:21st-century Burkinabé male actors that are against the guidelines at Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality. Please stop. If you feel like the guidelines need to be changed, please discuss that at Wikipedia talk:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality. Kaldari (talk) 21:17, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Excuse me, Sierra Leone and Burkina Faso are countries, not ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality. Timmyshin (talk) 21:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Male is a gender. Kaldari (talk) 21:22, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

And the guideline says "Category:Male actors and Category:Actresses... are also divided by gender." There are over a hundred subcategories in Category:21st-century male actors, what's your problem? Timmyshin (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

You're right, it looks like actors are an exception to the guidelines. My mistake. Carry on :) Kaldari (talk) 21:28, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Wang Dan

You moved Wang Dan to Wang Dan (dissident) with no discussion. A previous discussion concluded that he was the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I am having the page and the dab page restored to how they were before your move. If you still think they need to be moved, open a requested move first and get consensus. Thanks. — Gorthian (talk) 02:20, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

I have responded there. If I'm reverted I will open a RM. Thanks. Timmyshin (talk) 02:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Happy Lunar New Year!

	Happy Lunar New Year!
	Hello Timmyshin, May you have success, prosperity, peace, love and good health on this Chinese New Year. Here's to another year of productive editing. Sending you a heartfelt and warm greetings for this new year. Kind regards, Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:55, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for all your help regarding China/Taiwan/Hong Kong topics! --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:55, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

He Lin listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect He Lin. Since you had some involvement with the He Lin redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Tatewaki (talk) 22:02, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Please stop moving Hong Kong TV articles

Timmyshin, please stop moving Hong Kong TV articles – as per WP:NCTV, the full country name, in this case "Hong Kong", is supposed to be spelled out. Nobody is going to know what "HK" is supposed to be, and doing this is contrary to WP:NCTV. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:03, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

User:IJBall Nevermind that HK is not a country, everybody reading those articles will know what "HK" is supposed to be, and finally please stop claiming things that aren't found in guidelines. WP:NCTV says nothing about "full country name", and UK and U.S. are listed as examples—these are not "full country name"s. Timmyshin (talk) 13:08, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

You have no authority to make these moves – WP:NCTV is quite clear on this matter – U.S. and UK are the only exceptions to spelling out the country name (see the "Canadian" example). Your moves are disruptive. Please stop. I have already requested Administrator intervention on this matter. If you want to change WP:NCTV, then please make your proposal at WT:NCTV (I don't think it will be receptively received, but I could be wrong.) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:10, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

At the very least, these changes are controversial, and they needed to be discussed first before these page moves were made. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Il Nome!

Is your name a pun on Genghis Khan's birth name? My title is one of the last lines from the famous opera, Pagliacci—a very angry, cuckolded husband demanding the name of his wife's lover. Tapered (talk) 08:16, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Now that you mention it—maybe... :) Timmyshin (talk) 16:02, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

WikiBullying

There is currently a discussion at WP:ANI regarding WikiBullying. The thread is I am feeling under WikiBullying from User:Timmyshin. The discussion is about the topic Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tony Chang.--Shujen Chang (talk) 05:54, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Golden Broom Awards

Hello, seeing that as you are the creator of the page, I just wanted to ask, if this award is an actual valid one in China. There have been edit wars going on, in Kris Wu's page about the addition of the award as it is considered to be a malicious one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.48.0.203 (talk) 11:04, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes. Timmyshin (talk) 06:57, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, Timmyshin. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

Wikipedia:Requested moves
Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! — xaosflux ^Talk 13:17, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

move of Zheng Yanfen

When I moved the article currently located at Zheng Yanfen, I stated in my edit summary "WP:D at standard pinyin." I moved the article to Zeng Yanfen (politician) after reading the giudance at WP:PINYIN, which states a preference for Hanyu Pinyin for Chinese subjects. Because Zeng (surname) redirects to Zeng, I believe that that the standard pinyin spelling should be Zeng Yanfen, with disambiguator politician. The subject of the article was active in Taiwan, so Wade–Giles spelling Cheng Yen-feng could be used (per WP:ZHNAME), but Zeng did contribute to the Second Sino Japanese War while based in mainland China, which is why I moved to Zeng Yanfen. Thoughts? Vycl1994 (talk) 01:14, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

I don't disagree with your reasoning, but the pinyin for his surname is Zheng not Zeng. Timmyshin (talk) 06:43, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Sockpuppet tagging

Hi there, thanks for your help rooting out sockpuppets at SPI. I'm coming by to ask you not to "tag" any more user pages with the {{sockpuppet}} template, and to leave this to the SPI clerks. I've just deleted a number of user pages that you added the tag to for users which didn't exist, and for users who were never listed in an SPI case. I also wanted to let you know directly that the cases at Ren Yifan and Mokezhilao have been merged to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/123Aristotle, and all future reports should go under the merged case. Thanks again. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:08, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
