Naming Conventions

Here, Wikipedia:WikiProject_Three_Kingdoms#Naming_conventions. More specifically, under the section "Provinces, or zhou". _dk (talk) 02:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! But I still don't see why Gansu does not cover Liang Province. --Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 11:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
They are not a one-to-one relation. _dk (talk) 17:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
K, thanks. I'm not from China so I wouldn't know. But I love it's history. --Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 19:25, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Move

Man. Discuss with one of us before you do anything drastic next time. I don't know what to do with the Sun Xiu article any more. _dk (talk) 01:26, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

See Sun Xiu. Sun Xiu (general) and Sun Xiu (emperor) are two different persons. I've nominated the former for deletion. Lonelydarksky (暗無天日) contact me (聯絡) 02:28, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Normally this would be a good idea if we actually have an article for the general. As of now the disambiguation isn't very useful. _dk (talk) 02:44, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
I know. I know. I always get stuck with such menial tasks. I just didn't get why we would put "Sun Xiu (emperor)" when we didn't have any other Sun Xiu pages made.--Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 11:30, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Kongming.net

This website is not reliable. Please refrain from citing it as a reference in articles. I don't care if you read and believe what it says, but don't introduce it on Wikipedia. And I thought the Cao Pi's invasion of Wu could be renamed to something like Wei-Wu Wars (? year-? year). This way we can include more battles under this scope. There were also battles between Wei and Wu after Cao Pi's time . Lonelydarksky (暗無天日) contact me (聯絡) 02:33, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

The article I used was a translation from the Sanguozhi.--Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 15:15, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I know, but these so-called "translations" aren't reliable. It'd be better if you can get a published English translation of Records of the Three Kingdoms, preferably in book form (including details like author, publisher, ISBN etc). I don't know if there are any. You can search the library and bookstores. Back to my point, in future, I don't wish to see any links to kongming.net appearing on Three Kingdoms articles on Wikipedia.

Your images

You'll need to specify where the pictures are actually from other than "thescholarsofshenzhou", which we both know is the name of kongming.net's forum. If they are actually from the Qing Dynasty as you claim, then where is the supporting evidence? What collection of artwork/book are they actually from? Who is the author? If you can't answer these questions then your uploads are just going to get deleted, and you don't want that all that work going to waste. Also, since you seemingly are trying to contribute and clearly need guidance, please go get yourself adopted by a more experienced and willing member who hopefully will have patience than Lonelydarksky and I. _dk (talk) 11:47, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

The source, man, is where I found the images that were uploaded from the Qing Dynasty, I have no idea what book or author it was, all I know is that the same exact images are in my copies of Moss Roberts' book and torn out pictures from a Luo Guanzhong original. Is it possible you have not seen them before? --Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 20:08, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Right. Then you should say the images are from Moss Roberts's book or whatever, not "thescholarsofchenzhou". Still, go get yourself adopted before I gut a kitten. _dk (talk) 20:19, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Alright, but I'm not changing them for one's I uploaded or I will get so mad I will gut a kitten too. I don't need to be adopted since I've been here since '10.
No, go get adopted. We're sick and tired of cleaning up after you. _dk (talk) 20:27, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Do not remove copyright templates from article, as you did to the now-deleted article Battle of Mount Qi. Instructions for constructively helping with these issues is clearly stated in the template itself, which also states, in bold: "Do not restore or edit the blanked content on this page until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk or OTRS agent." Removing the template and restoring the content to publication will not prevent the deletion of such material, but may result in your account being sanctioned. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:05, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm so sorry! When I did so, I thought I accidentally clicked on something. --Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 15:20, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 05:14, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Cao Pi's invasions of Eastern Wu

Cao Pi's invasions of Eastern Wu (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) says you copy-pasted this article. Where did it come from? The attribution history needs to be recorded unless you moved it from your sandbox. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 05:19, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I started with the Battle of Dongkou. The information I put in that article was not copy-pasted but when I made Cao Pi's invasions of Eastern Wu I copy-pasted my own works for the base of the Cao Pi's invasions of Eastern Wu article. I made that one too but it was late and I didn't have to time to expand. Nothing but some minor sentences are currently existent in the article that I originally copy-pasted from my other article (Dongkou). Thanks for your concern though. Feel free to reply.--Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 19:28, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Files listed for deletion

Some of your images or media files have been listed for deletion. Please see Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 April 26 if you are interested in preserving them.

Thank you. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 04:10, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Random change in cited info

I did appreciate it if you don't randomly change cited info, like here at the Compass [1] article. I don't see the point of this, and it's rather disruptive to misrepresent sources like you did. --Cold Season (talk) 01:38, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Oops! Sorry! I forgot to replace the source with one for my edit! Sorry for the misunderstanding!--Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 19:35, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Battle of Ruxukou (213), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vanguard (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your user page

Hi Kamek

Guidelines as to the purpose of, and what is acceptable to have on, user pages can be found at WP:USERPAGE. Put basically, the user page is there to provide other editors with info about your editing at Wikipedia. It is not a personal web page and personla content should only be included where it is directly relevant to your contributions or editing pattern. As I hope you'll have worked out for yourself, the first line (headline) on your user page is not appropriate and should be removed. Certain other features (such as your alleged "girlfriend") likewise. I hope you'll use this opportunity to review your user page; however, please be aware that other editors may remove content that is judged to be unacceptable. Thanks. Plutonium27 (talk) 22:33, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Take a joke dude. It's gone.--Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed 01:16, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Heading on user page removed as per guidelines: see also WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK and Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors. Plutonium27 (talk) 21:04, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
"Am I not aloud to be on Wikipedia if I'm a child?" Did you read the guidelines in those links I'd given you? Or did you just kick off because you felt insulted that someone assumed you to be a minor? Anyway, answer your own question by having a think about what your response there, and to this issue generally, says about your maturity. Plutonium27 (talk) 23:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Boy batting for modified.jpg

 

Thanks for uploading File:Boy batting for modified.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. 19:54, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Zhuge Xu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 03:50, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy tag has been removed as Zhuge Xu is clearly notable. →Bmusician 09:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
