"unhelpful to the progress of this discussion"

BS. The only thing unhelpful to he progress of the discussion is Thom-293's complete lack of knowledge of how the project works.—Ryulong (琉竜) 19:44, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HOly cow you even added in the HTML formatting instead of the Wikipedia formatting. How far did you go back?—Ryulong (琉竜) 19:48, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion now revolves around Tokyogirl79's analysis, so it'll be helpful to preserve the state of the article when she assessed it. I had a good laugh when I read "HOly cow". I reverted as far back as the edit which added the AfD nomination to the article. Der yck C. 20:02, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You could have at least just reverted back to the last version before I edited. But now I had to get rid of the unnecessary bolding of people's names in the events section.—Ryulong (琉竜) 20:50, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fresher's fair

Hi Deryck. I'd certainly like to help out at the fresher's fair stall but will only be able to do a few hours, probably in the mornings. Let me know when you have more details. What kind of things are you planning for the society? the wub "?!" 20:55, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Geonotice (again)

Hi Deryck,

Glad to hear the fair's going well - I'm actually working in Cambridge today and tomorrow, but as I'm staying home due to an unsightly injury, I think it's best I don't come down to help out! I'd scare everyone off...

I've recently listed another BL event at Wikipedia:Geonotice - would you be able to put this through for me? (As always, I'd prefer to avoid doing it myself).

Hey! It was nice to meet you today at the Freshers' fair; let me know of any upcoming events for the society. Though I am quite busy this term (4th year project & applying for jobs!)

Nina Power

I have counted 13 wikipedia pages where Nina Power is mentioned: her newspaper reviews, authored books, political campaigning. I did not weigh into the debates leading up to her page's deletion. I also see a French wikipedia page devoted to her, largely based on notable references in English. Obviously this is a matter for French wikipedia. But it seems to me there is case for rewriting a page. I feel I need hardly cite some of the many pages which fail the appropriate criteria far more decisively than her page did.Rachel0898 (talk) 21:28, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Forthcoming"

There's no tone of voice to tell me, so I'm not sure if your comment was congratulatory or sarcastic. Either way, it wasn't a big deal - I went to remove the out of date event, and in passing noted the Americanism. To be honest, I considered also changing "meetup", but left it in case that's standard WMUK language. --Dweller (talk) 10:27, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2012 in UFC events (4th nomination)

2012 in UFC was deleted as a result of this AfD, I believe that the reason for the original article's nomination is not one for which deletion is a sutiable fix, the article can be fixed by editing. Can you please review the AfD and the two articles and see if you are willing to overturn the result and restore 2012 in UFC events and by extension 2012 in UFC.

Zhu Jiang Delta

Hi, I've noticed you changed all the instances of Zhu Jiang Delta in Manufacturing in Hong Kong to 'Pearl River Delta' 'to conform with common usage' (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manufacturing_in_Hong_Kong&diff=469897549&oldid=469419630), but I'd like to dispute that. I'm not sure how the names were put when you were in school, but all modern geography textbooks use pinyin for geographical names in China (except districts of Hong Kong, of course). The curriculum and assessment guide for geography also primarily uses 'Zhujiang', though 'Pearl River' is put in brackets. Do you think it would be better to change it back? Kayau (talk · contribs) 05:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

City vs. territory

[1] [2] I'm afraid the intro is supposed to be for the international audience. In common usage the word city may refer only to a built-up or a downtown area, instead of a whole metro or conurbation. And after all HK isn't a densely populated city if we are talking about the whole territory. 119.237.227.224 (talk) 14:27, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned, Hong Kong shouldn't be referred to be a city. It should be referred to as a territory. Further, English law specifically, namely, not other British law such as Scot law or old Welsh law, is in place in Hong Kong. Hong Kong wasn't just one village when the island was ceded by the Manchu Empire to the UK: Shau Kei Wan was its own village; Wong Chuk Hang was another, for instance. There were also many villages scattered all around other parts of the territory apart from the Hong Kong Island itself, such as, Tsim Sha Tsui, Lyemoon, Ng Tsin Wai, Ma Tau Wai, etc. Please don't undo all my edits in one go without any good reason. Comments like 'weird perspective' and 'make little sense' are simply meaningless and ridiculous. 116.49.147.176 (talk) 19:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deryck could you identify what were problematic, if there's any, in that edit? 116.49.147.176 (talk) 17:53, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please specify which edit. The diff you posted above is a broken link. You may also want to look at the rewritten sentence about population density ranking which was done immediately after your first post here on 24 January. Der yck C. 17:59, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why you'd want to link to my latest edit. Okay :) Der yck C. 18:08, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The links have been fixed. As mentioned, the word 'city' is confusing to refer to the entirety of Hong Kong. Further, the area that constitutes modern HK (i.e., post-1898 HK) contained more than one village when British rule was established. The English legal system specifically, and not other British legal systems, is in place. 116.49.147.176 (talk) 15:10, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

哋 deih as an associative plural

Hi! I noticed you removed an edit of mine to the article on Cantonese grammar, which said that 哋 could be used as a suffix for proper nouns: On the other hand, 哋 dei6 may be added to a proper noun, meaning "X and their group/friends/family/company".

I took that from Virginia Yip and Stephen Matthews' books on Cantonese grammar. For example, in Cantonese: A Comprehensive Grammar (2nd ed.) they give the example Bóulòuh-deih (that is, Paul-哋) in page 97 meaning 'Paul and his family', 'Paul and his friends', 'Paul and his colleagues', 'etc.'.

I find it very interesting that you said this is simply not true. Is this perhaps because it's not used among relatively young people age anymore? (The authors are admittedly in their 50s or something...)--Serafín33 (talk) 06:41, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Questions about adding "Garnet Capital Advisors" article

Hi,

I am trying to figure out the best way to go about having an organization, in this case Garnet Capital Advisors (which is mentioned in other Wikipedia articles such as "Loan Sale", "Mission Capital Advisors", etc. I feel as though it would be a great addition to Wikipedia and would like some advice as to best go about it because it seems as though doing it myself might create conflict of interest issues.

Pan Changyao

You might be able to help me here. Pan Changyao was a hong merchant around 1800 in Guangzhou, and is well known under his trading name Consequa or Conseequa. He has come up for me in Charles Hampden Turner, in connection with wisteria. It seems that most of the wisteria we see in the West comes from a specimen he gave from his own garden. It would be therefore be good to get his name in characters: they are here. He is certainly also notable in his own right. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:39, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not convinced we can win the situation back. Unfortunately Wikipedia operates by the wisdom of crowds. Where the crowds prefer to misunderstand things, those who are correct can but snub from the sidelines. Also notice the trend that Chinese speakers tend to argue China != PRC whereas non-speakers tend to argue China == PRC. Der yck C. 00:01, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Britelite Technologies

The article Britelite Technologies has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, unref'd, and surely promo-only.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 14:33, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Britelite Technologies

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 Britelite Technologies, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:13, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
