Huh? I cleared it because it was getting too long to read and was filled with clutter like disambiguation notices and stuff from years ago. I don't even know who you are. Qiushufang (talk) 03:12, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Qiu, just looking at Military history of the Song dynasty and wanted to leave a comment on your Talk Page and I noticed this comment. Since Wikipedia is a group effort, a user's Talk Page can often be a place for other voices in the community to weigh in (sometimes very helpfully, sometimes not so much!). You have a chance to leave your responses, leaving a record of the discussion that might be helpul in future discussions. So it's an indvidual choice, of course, how much to keep, but it's very easy to clean things up by archiving the page: WP:ARCHIVE. ch (talk) 18:45, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

  Hello, I'm Ashleyyoursmile. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Battle of Sacheon (1598) have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Ashleyyoursmile! 08:01, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

September 2021

 

Your recent editing history at Meng Wanzhou shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Citobun (talk) 02:43, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Meng Wanzhou, you may be blocked from editing. SimonWan00 (talk) 01:51, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Tenplate for CHOC

Quickly, here's a refence template that comes in handy:

 :{{The Cambridge History of China|volume=11 | last1 = Liu |first1 = Kwang-Ching | last2 = Smith | first2 = Richard J. | chapter = The Military Challenge: The North-west and the Coast | pages = 202–273 |url= |ref=none}}

which produces

Liu, Kwang-Ching; Smith, Richard J. (1980). "The Military Challenge: The North-west and the Coast". In Fairbank, John K.; Liu, Kwang-Ching (eds.). The Cambridge History of China, Volume 11: Late Ch'ing 1800–1911, Part 2. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. pp. 202–273. ISBN 978-0-521-22029-3.

It might be easier to see in "Edit." Obviously, you can add more fields (author-link, etc.)

Cheers. ch (talk) 23:01, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Apologies -- I gave the wrong one. I should have tested it, because it only works for the Fairbank edited volumes. Here is a better one:
{{encyclopedia|title=The Cambridge History of China|volume= 5.2 | editor1-last = Chaffee|editor1-first = John | editor2-last = Twitchett | editor2-first = Denis |author1-last=McDermott|author1-first=Joseph P. |author2-first= Shiba| author2-last= Yoshinobu | chapter = Economic change in China, 960-1279 |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Cambridge_History_of_China_Volume_5/PpMSBwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1 | pages = |ref=none }}
which produces:
McDermott, Joseph P.; Yoshinobu, Shiba. "Economic change in China, 960-1279". In Chaffee, John; Twitchett, Denis (eds.). The Cambridge History of China. Vol. 5.2.
You may be able to improve it. It should have the subtitle -- "Song China." Cheers, ch (talk) 15:04, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

War of edits Balhae

I very much ask you to stop attacking me and delete all my edits using the fact that I do not know where and how to complain about your behavior because I’m recently in the project. This behavior is not enceclopedic and simply not ethical. We must first discuss on the talk page and come to a conclusion. And you just delete everything that I wrote without explaining the reasons.Ulianurlanova (talk) 00:03, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the deletions. Please re-add them since I've improved on the grammar to your material as well as my own citations. Qiushufang (talk) 00:04, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (3rd request)

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from History of the Song dynasty into Battle of Như Nguyệt River (1077). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 18:11, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your help in Artillery

Hi Quishufang,

I noticed you reverted my edit on Artillery, but added the source I couldn't find. Thank you! I did a quick search and came up with nothing, so I salute your superior research skills! Thank you for finding what I could not. Cheers! EducatedRedneck (talk) 22:46, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

How white supremacists manipulate Wikipedia and other forums for anti Chinese and anti East Asian propaganda

Hello Qiushufang, please see the recent dispute at Genetic history of Europe. Large amount of well sourced content got removed because of personal reasons and revenge rather than constructive work. Users posing as "Asian" but working for a white supremacist narrative. See:[1]. This Eurocentric cabal must be stopped harming Asian people and nations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4BC9:924:F597:3CF5:7A5E:841B:71F9 (talk) 20:08, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
