Current events in Hong Kong and Macao edit

Hello Hei Chon~! Thanks for your contributions to some Macao-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. You may also be interested to set up a notice board for Macao. Happy editing! — Instantnood 08:20, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Give a try.. and let me know if you need any assistance. :-) I did not know there were so many Hong Kong wikipedians until the list of participants on the notice board was growing. It does help keeping wikipedians together and provide them with a place to talk with each other. — Instantnood 10:21, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

About the map of Macao edit

Hi, .

I have already correct the name of the "Governor Norbe de Carvalho Bridge" on the map of Macao that I made recently. Thanks for your reminder.

By the way, can you please look up how to say "Guangdong Province", "Zhuhai City", "Drawn by Alan Mak for Wikipedia", "Lotus Bridge" in Portugese, so that I can make a Portugese version for the map? Thank you.

Alanmak 22:05, 3 August 2005 (UTC)Reply


Thank youn for your Portugese translations. By the way, are your cousin studying in Portugal or something?

Also, would you like to tell me your ICQ / MSN, so that we can discuss about collaborating on some Macao-related articles some time?

Bridges in Macau edit

Sure. I'll let you know when it's done. It's gonna take some time probably. :-) — Instantnood 17:32, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Done... and I've created category:bridges in Macao. Do you have any picture of them by the way? :-D — Instantnood 18:28, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
Remember to upload to the Wikimedia Commons if possible, so every user of Wikipedia of different languages could enjoy your masterpiece. :-) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 18:39, 4 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
Go to commons:special:upload, then link the picture with the gallery at commons:Macao or commons:category:Macao. By the way can you write an article on O Centro Histórico de Macau? Information is available from http://www.macauheritage.net . :-D — Instantnood 19:03, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
Ah yes. Don't forget to add the new articles to the list of Macao-related topics. You can keep an eye on the changes to Macao-related articles by this page. — Instantnood 19:11, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
It really depends on which licence you'd prefer. If you want to release it into the public domain, you can use {{PD-self}}. You may also be interested to take a look at Wikipedia:image copyright tags. :-D — Instantnood 08:18, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Interested to start an article on the East Asian Games? :-D — Instantnood 11:42, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
No wonder. Anyways start the article at any time you like. If you prefer to start it in Chinese I can do the translation. :-) — Instantnood 18:32, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

Translator edit

If you need a Chinese-English translator, you may find User:K.C._Tang. I'm sure he's willing to help you. :-D -- Jerry Crimson Mann 17:39, 4 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

總督大橋可以叫做Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge,不過通常叫做Macau-Taipa Bridge;友誼大橋叫做China-Portugal Friendship Bridge,又稱New Macau-Taipa Bridge。--K.C. Tang 18:04, 4 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
Hey K.C. help expand them when you've time. :-) — Instantnood 18:28, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
My pleasure, but where're the created pages? :P --K.C. Tang 04:04, 5 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

北區 edit

May I know what is 北區 known in Portuguese? Has it got any English name? Thanks. :-D — Instantnood 17:32, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Try translate more Macau-related articles into English Wikipedia. :-) — Instantnood 06:44, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

Õ==Bem-vindo== Welcome to Wikipedia. It's great to have you on board--especially wonderful to have people from a such a wide range of backgrounds add to the richness/divesity of Wiki. Particularly the small gem of Macau, which Anglophones would benefit from learning more about!

>I am a Wikipedian coming from Macau.
You could probably say "I am a Wikipedian from Macau"--much simple and more natural.


Neither Portuguese Romanization, Jyutping, nor Pinyin are languages, only writing conventions. Canontese, Mandarin are languages/dialects. Therefore you may wish to say, "My name is Cheong Hei Chon pronounced in Cantonese--written as Zoeng Hei Zeon or Cheung Hei Chun in Jyutping or other romanizations, and Zhang Xijun pronounced in Mandarin and written in pinyin. (By the way the typical English usage is Hanyu pinyin not Chinese pinyin.) I realize you know all this but I guess I'm saying it for the benefit of other Wikipedians who may not be familiar with Chinese languages and cultures.

Finally, fala português? I'm really trying to figure out the role of Portuguese in Macau in the 21st century. Is it doomed to a slow, quiet death, and nearly in the last stages already, almost as bad in Spanish in the Philippines? Any hope left? (Also, I invite you to contribute to Patuá if you've got some information to share.)

Hello Hei Chon! edit

Thanks for your message. I'm interested in writing more in English version coz as far as I know, many westerners know little or even nothing about Macao, so I prefer English.

Anyway, which aspects are you interested in?? Cheers.. Carrel

Hi HeiChon edit

Yes, I'm the person you've talked about... Who are you? why you know me?? Do I know you in advance??

Cheers

Thank you for your warm advice. When I first read the article, someone mistakenly put Sexten as Sinner's last name. I just wanted to make a minor edit. But maybe at the mean time someone added some details and maybe I didn't notice and messed it up. HeiChon (talk) 12:22, 5 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
