Keyblade

Actually, I warned Keyblade before he made his fourth revert. In an edit summary. He just brushed it off. Rau's Speak Page 22:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Yo. I didn't use the "undo" thing for that- I edited the page like normal. Isn't that warning only for if you do undo? Not if you just do it normally? Keyblade Mage (talk) 23:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Keyblade Mage

Ah, to the letter. Even though I'm certain thats against policy. It's in the lead. Rau's Speak Page 23:05, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

List of Avatar episodes Season 1

Hey, I just went and copyedited the summaries in the Season 1 list, as I am hoping to bring that up to FL as well. However, since I am absolutely useless at coloring syntaxes, would you mind re-coloring the DVD volume sales to match with the style used in the main "List of episodes" article? I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks! --haha169 (talk) 19:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh, would you also do the same with Season 2 and Season 3? I'm working on copyediting those lists as well. --haha169 (talk) 19:08, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks anyway. Rau J fixed the coloring syntax. :) Would you mind fixing up random tidbits on the season articles? I think that they are soon to be ready for FLC, especially in comparison with this. --haha169 (talk) 17:31, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

91.0.246.65

This person is quite beligerant. None the less, he does seem to have a point, the image he provided does not mention the CNSO, or any other orchestra. It does mention the London choir, so maybe he is onto something there. Have you taken any action against him yet? What should we do in regards to the article? --Simpsons fan 66 08:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I responded on the talk page. Note that I merely moved the part to the bottom, and did not remove it altogether. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 12:31, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Lau Gar

Whilst I understand you've edited some of the Lau gar page, I think you've been overly brutal in your edits. If you look at the sources on it compared to others, you'll see that alot of the more esoteric arts are scant on proper published sources - for obvious reasons. Just look at the choy gar page for example.

Do you have alot of experience in chinese martial arts? as I'm a little confused of your choices in what to remove. The section about the "lau gar" forms in hung gar is a very widely regonised fact, and is also VERY helpful for disambiguity between lau gar in hung gar, and lau gar proper. also you've left things that now don't make sense as you've removed sections but not changed the preceding paragraph so it reads "There are three different styles of Kung Fu that use the name Lau Gar:" but only two are listed. You've also removed the link to the newspaper article about Xiao Yong Ding which is an extremely useful source of info - though sadly in chinese... (what is the procedure for foreign language links?)

The list of forms in UK lau gar is quite handy too. Not sure why it's been removed, yes it's an uncited source but then so are the list of forms on other pages.

As for the controvsery section - i feel it IS important. whilst forums might not be reliable, they are useful for commentry. It's quite clear that the lack of evidence for jeremy yau claim has not gone unnoticed. Nor has the similarities between the second form in lau gar (jurn sau) and the first form in wing chun. If you are unhappy with forums, can we at least keep the bey logan comment?

Finally - Perhaps if we can't use forum/youtube links as source (though in the latter, it's quite clear from the comentry that it is Xiao Yong Ding perfomring) we can link them as external links? It seems a shame to not show footage of the art itself.

Fair use rationale for Image:301964.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:301964.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Pk 071n.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Pk 071n.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:301964.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:301964.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Chaquan

The article on Muslim Chinese martial arts attributes this martial art to a Muslim named Zhamir, and this form being exclusively most Muslim style, other sources including Changquan#Subtypes_of_Long_Fist, http://www.northernshaolinmontreal.com/en/system.html , http://www.atlantamartialarts.com/styles/chaquan.htm say otherwise, since this information is not sourced, would be ok to delete Zhaquan off of the Muslim Chinese martial arts article as original research?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:S1487657.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:S1487657.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Cotton

Now that you mention it, I have included some information about cotton in one of my articles:

• Tang Dynasty#Tea, food, and necessities

Using this source:

• Adshead, S.A.M. (2004). T'ang China: The Rise of the East in World History. New York: Palgrave Macmillan. ISBN 1403934568 (hardback).

Although he did not have much to say about the topic. I'll check indexes shortly; right now at this moment, I'm compiling notes from:

• Sun, Xiaochun and Jacob Kistemaker. (1997). The Chinese Sky During the Han: Constellating Stars and Society. Leiden, New York, Köln: Koninklijke Brill. ISBN 9004107371.

...at one of my sandboxes, User:PericlesofAthens/Sandbox5, for rewriting the Han Dynasty article.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 20:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Great, and it's good to hear your work is coming along. Although I'm busy with real life concerns, all my Wiki energies are now consumed by the Han Dynasty project, which I had aimed to complete by the end of the summer but things just got in the way. My goal is to finish the Han Dynasty completely before 2008 is done.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 22:45, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I did see that question, but I couldn't answer it so I didn't say anything...I don't know where to look or who to ask. I searched the library for something appropriate and came up with "Studies on the Levantine trade in the Middle Ages", a Variorum collection of articles by Eliyahu Ashtor, which contains "The Venetian cotton trade in Syria in the later Middle Ages." Venice of course would have been trading with the Muslims. It's a little old (1978) but hopefully it's a start. Adam Bishop (talk) 03:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Aang and Katara

Hey there. I was hoping to start up a discussion on the edits which you've labeled as "shipping" and removed. Can you post here a little more detail why you feel my additions were "Shipping"? NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 20:10, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey there. I had responded to your post on my talk page, but you still reverted my edits :( Can you please respond to them? NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 19:37, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Explanation

You wrote [this is an edit comment recently. "Why don't you make an effort to find a better source than just to delete the thing altogether next time. It took me all of one second to find one"

I didn't "just delete the thing altogether" -- I deleted the part that HAD to be deleted and left a tag so people would know to look for it. You might as well say why does anyone just tag anything when they could do it themselves... There are multiple steps involved in making any improvements, and it's odd to complain when someone doesn't do all of them. In this case that site was listed on a ton of articles and I made the effort to remove it from all the places it was. That's more than a little effort. Was I supposed to take the effort to redo sources on all the articles for all the topics? If you didn't know about that end of it, that's understandable, but leaving an odd edit comment isn't particularly helpful. DreamGuy (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

re: looking for info for an essay

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't know of an English translation of Tang Hao's work or of the Yi Jin Jing itself.

As for Brian Kennedy, his Chinese Martial Arts Training Manuals touches on Tang Hao's work on the Yi Jin Jing and is widely available. (I've seen it in Barnes & Noble and Borders.)

Kennedy seems to publish regularly in Classical Fighting Arts and has also had several articles published in the Journal of Asian Martial Arts.

Also, the dubious nature of the Yi Jin Jing was suspected as early as the 18th century by Ling Tingkan (Shahar, p. 168).

Best of luck!

Hey bromosexual. Hah! What's going on man? Take a look at this shit:

• Economy of the Han Dynasty
• Government of the Han Dynasty
• History of the Han Dynasty
• Science and technology of the Han Dynasty
• Society and culture of the Han Dynasty

I'm having a hard time deciding which one I like the most. In the end, once I rewrite the main Han Dynasty article, that one may very well be the best, since it will be the most comprehensive and incorporate the best aspects of all these articles.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 08:37, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of which, do you think it should replace the synagogue picture already positioned inside that article section?

Perhaps there's another article I could use this image instead...--Pericles of Athens^Talk 23:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough; I'll switch pictures. I like both of them, but I have to agree, the arc one is less cluttered in appearance.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 01:00, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
