Articles for deletion nomination of 2009 Shishou riot

I have nominated 2009 Shishou riot, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 Shishou riot. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. mhking (talk) 03:23, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi

You have mail at Talk:517 Protest Arilang ^talk 04:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

File:HK1997a.jpg

Your image, File:HK1997a.jpg, was said to be released into public domain by Ken Mentz. But I cannot find any evidence at [1] that he released it into PD. Can you please kindly put the evidence on the image page. Cheers. --Jackl 04:29, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

In 2007 when the photo was uploaded, ibiblio was part of the free media domain. There was nothing wrong with it. It may not be true anymore. Benjwong (talk) 03:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Invite to participate in major issue discussion

I noticed you had contributed in the past to discussions on the Chinese languages/dialects. If you have time, please take a look at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(Chinese)#Language.2FDialect_Names and offer your opinion. Colipon+(T) 23:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hu Haifeng

Hi. At Hu Haifeng you write that he is "Communist Party secretary of Tsinghua Holdings". Can you explain what this means? Do state-run companies have party representatives on the board of directors? What is his official title in Chinese? Mporter (talk) 02:55, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I just took that info from the source. I am not sure this is some official title. I would think every company is different. Benjwong (talk) 18:14, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Consensus change on ROC/TW

I wanted to let you know that apparently there has been a change in the Wikipedia consensus on the use of "Republic of China (Taiwan)". If you recall (or not) from the discussion 2 years ago, the combination use can be applied for "origin". I'm not sure when it happened, but "origin" is now over on the "Taiwan" column, where "birthplace" was and is. There's also someone on the WPCLE talk page asking us to look at locale conventions again. Arsonal (talk) 23:04, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Jianpi Wan

Hi Benjwong, As you are an active Wikipedia contributor, i would appreciate your views on the proposed deletion of Jianpi Wan at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jianpi_Wan. Jianpi Wan is an ancient Chinese herbal formula to strengthen the spleen. It has long existed as an entry under Chinese classic herbal formula. 弟 (talk) 00:39, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Category fixes

I'm not sure that all the foods indicated should have the Chinese cuisine category removed as you have done. While having the category there is redundant when you already have some sub-category of Chinese cuisine (say Cantonese cuisine) many of these dishes exist in other Chinese regional cuisine. As such, these edits actually makes the articles much less accurate and factual. Perhaps some of them should be change back? Sjschen (talk) 04:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

The only part I think I should have done is maybe ask WP:FOOD first. Putting everything in one category is what we did when there were only a few articles. See how Category:Chinese people has the tag to "move to subcategory". Maybe I can put one up here. We have been cutting items into smaller sub categories until people start randomly putting it back into Chinese cuisine. The real case is that no one item appears in all sub chinese cuisines. Not even congee. Benjwong (talk) 02:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

SCMP

Hi Ben, I was told you could e-mail some articles from the South China Morning Post. Do you mind sending me this one? Thanks! Colipon+(Talk) 00:45, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I would use the content for an article. But I cannot distribute the article up like that. I have never emailed anyone any article. Not sure where that rumor started. Benjwong (talk) 02:06, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

There is not much to that article other than being very optimistic about the future. The center of the crackdown is here. And I don't think Beijing is really cracking down on crime to fix the city or public image. Usually when there is a crackdown, someone in the government didn't get their share. And they just get pissed and overthrow everything. Benjwong (talk) 02:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh gee I can't help myself. If there is real desire for corruption crackdowns, they would have taken HK's advice 10 years ago to establish a real ICAC. Benjwong (talk) 02:14, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh thanks anyway. Not a problem. Will try to find other sources. Just that SCMP seems to be the most impartial on China-related issues. Colipon+(Talk) 08:19, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:PrincessKnightManga.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PrincessKnightManga.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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) 11:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of 2009 Barack Obama visit to China at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:17, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of 2009 Barack Obama visit to China

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is 2009 Barack Obama visit to China. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 Barack Obama visit to China. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Benjwong! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 102 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:CreamBun Stu Spivack.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:CreamBun Stu Spivack.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Yan'an rectification

I just looked at that article and felt that it could do with much work. I know about the subject, and have source material here, but I may need more guidance about how to really improve things in terms of correct Wikipedia style. At a minimum, there are almost no sources in that article. That quite undermines the credibility of the report to outsiders. If you have some advice for how I can start there, please notify me.

I think that article is "ok". But you can expand it. Benjwong (talk) 14:06, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it does not have many good sources. I am going to add a lot of independent scholarship to the page soon. Many sources do not use the "three phases" way of conceptualising it. In a few days you could look. Homunculus (strange tales) 05:09, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

文 章提交者：monachus 加帖在 猫眼看人 【凯迪网络】 http://www.kdnet.net

汉语的缺陷 及给中国文化的影响早有定论，为民族自尊的原因而只在学术界小范围内讨论。

1 语言，语法不精确，导致 不能建 立有清晰内涵和外延界定的抽象概念。 而概念的缺乏直接干扰中国文化逻辑学的产生。自然也就没有逻辑思维了。

2 象形文字没有进一步转为字母化的符号体系。缺乏丰富的符号体系来表征抽象概念，符号工具的缺乏使得中国古代数学家已经非常接近微积分，而最终无法创造微积 分的原因， 符号对概念的抽象替代-“算 符”。也是现代量子力学的基石。

3 长期接触图像化的象形文字，使中国人的大脑长于形象思维， 弱于抽象思维。长于艺术，文学，人际关系，弱于自然科学，法律。

文章提交者：monachus 加帖在 猫眼看人 【凯迪网络】 http://www.kdnet.net

符 号不仅可以代表概念，还可以代表概念之间由逻辑关系而形成的一个相对固定的结合体，量子力学中的算符就起这种功能

丰富的符号体系造就现 代科学。

象形文字的汉字让中国人无法形成符号体系。

另外， 音形不联系的汉字难学难记， 没有三年艰苦的学习难以读书看报，中国的文盲数量比例非常高。

而表音体系能说即能读， 儿童可以更早的接触文字信息，智力开发也更早。

汉 字难学 ，使得儿童接触同样数量的文字信息比表音文字教育体系下的儿童有1-2年的迟滞，而这1-2年的迟滞对智力发育带来的危害非常大。 Arilang ^talk 06:48, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
