Lede

Add the information to the main body of the article, not to the lede. We spent a long time making the lede as neutral as possible. Avaya1 (talk) 22:14, 1 June 2012 (UTC) thanks i responded to you. i didnt mean to upset ne1Happy monsoon day (talk)

Reverting

WP:HUGGLE It's an anti-vandalism tool (not that what you did was vandalism) and it scours all of the potentially problematic edits to the English Wikipedia. Take a look at WP:CITE for how to give proper citations and please let me know if you have any questions. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:36, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

thanks. thats pretty intense. why does some bs vandalism stay around for a long time then? i knew how to make a citation but this article was already referred to once on the page and wasnt sure how strict it was some articles have absolutely no citations and they seem fine other times people demand it to be cited to the teeth. a bit contradictory Happy monsoon day (talk) 00:38, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome Anything that stays on Wikipedia is just because someone else doesn't find it--that's precisely why I was using Huggle and why you might want to consider using it yourself someday. Anything that is added to any article which isn't common knowledge needs a source. There are many unsourced statements on Wikipedia, but I can't possibly spot all of them. What I can do is stop new unsourced claims from being added, so that's what I was trying to do here. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

uhuh i see. where do i get huggle (cute name)??? so can i confirm that basically i can delete anything in an article that doesnt have a reference?Happy monsoon day (talk)

Sources WP:HUGGLE for the tool--you have to have minimum editing standards before you use it, so you should take a look at that page and understand it. If you have questions, I might be able to answer them. As for unverified information, see WP:SOURCE and in particular Wikipedia:SOURCE#Further_reading. Everything needs to be sourced because Wikipedia doesn't publish original research. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:28, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, don't delete anything that doesn't have a reference. Wikipedia requires that quotations, as well as anything "challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation." If you find material that you believe needs a reference but lacks one, consider adding a tag to it, rather than deleting it (unless it's obviously problematic).

ok those tags look good. this is like playing diablo or something where you keep getting new weapons and tools to interact with the virtual world. im learning huggle power, tag attack, and will soon have talkback teleportation abilities.watch out to all rogues who add unsourced material to the encylcopedia!Happy monsoon day (talk)

huggle is impossible because im on mac so ill just stick with twinkle. cute names. sounds like the creator of pokemon decided to apply his talents to wikipedia vandalism tools ...Happy monsoon day

Hi monsoon day,

I'm glad you've taken an interest in China-related topics, but wanted to point out a couple things. First, please, please start signing your talk page comments. It takes while to get used to this—even I forget sometimes—but you'll get the hang of it. Secondly, as I mentioned in a thread above, please don't just delete every sentence that has a source. You can ask for a source. Or put a tag (and then wait a reasonable time). Third, umm....I assume that when you edit articles, you will adopt encyclopedic prose? Best of luck. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Homunculus (duihua) 02:28, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

thanks. yes, i know how write i just cba doing so when talking in a casual context but dw i basically read and write half my day atm. do you know anything about chinese fraudulent rtos? i want to make an article on the topic but not exactly sure how to proceed. Happy monsoon day

RTOs? Qu'est-ce que c'est? Homunculus (duihua) 02:51, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

it means "reverse take over" it's a way of accessing capital markets without all the trouble of an initial public offering. makes use of shell companies and investment banks like Rodman and Renshaw to underwrite the deals.there has been a variety of frauds in these institutions over the last several years with a big stack of media coverage but nothing in wikipedia. never heard of muddy waters, for example? look for example:

http://china.fixyou.co.uk/2011/03/chinese-fraud-is-widespread.html

http://www.thestreet.com/topic/45401/china-rtos.html

http://reversemergerschina.com/

look at all the coverage in the third link. also i want to do an article about SOEs in china do u have any idea why no such article exists??? im not sure what i need to do to start articles and who i could get to help?Happy monsoon day

for your information i already posed a question to the project china group which i discovered the other day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_China#New_article_series Happy monsoon day

Can't say I know very much about the subject or the companies you're referring to, but if there is enough reliably sourced information about them (ie. if they pass the Wikipedia:Notability test), you can create articles about the companies involved. As to SOEs, you're referring to state-owned enterprises, right? Are you thinking of creating an article called "State-owned enterprises of China", or do you mean to create individual pages about notable or major Chinese SOEs? I think either could work. There is an article called State-owned enterprises of New Zealand, so you could potentially look at that as an example of how something could be structured. Also think about contributing to the page Economy of the People's Republic of China. Hope that helps. Homunculus (duihua) 04:47, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

ok thanks [for nuthin']Happy monsoon day 15:43, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

/* Merger proposal*/ Asma al-Assad

I saw your discussion about the Vogue piece on Asma al-Assad's talk page while contemplating moving a very heavy section in Joan Juliet Buck into Asma al-Assad. Please see my proposal and lend your support when you have time. thank you--Aichikawa (talk) 18:36, 13 June 2012 (UTC) sorry couldnt check in for a while because internet access and school. hope it's not too late i agree the article should be merged Happy monsoon day 18:03, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

hahaha im glad you like it. blr rocks doesn't it. "And they got my cooler and they took my spider-jars into prison, and I said: I'm going to let you do this!'" bwahaha Happy monsoon day 15:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

by the way i built a table of all his pop works - did you see? any ideas for improvement? later ill do one on the political blrsHappy monsoon day 15:44, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Yep, I saw. :) Looks okay to me; a separate discography page would probably be excessive at this point. Acalamari 17:03, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

for now perhaps but i believe the day will comeHappy monsoon day 01:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Recommend

Please do not create talkpages for non-existent articles. If you wish to create a new article, either use the Articles for Creation process, or create a draft in your own sandbox. Note that before you create any article, it must be about a notable topic and meet the very stringent requirements for reliable sources (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:23, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

i know, dude. i wanted to explain why the page is notable. should i just go ahead and write it? Happy monsoon day 16:26, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Like I said: create a WP:USERSPACEDRAFT, or use WP:AFC ... do NOT create a live article, yet. None of your "references" were at all reliable. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:29, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

thanks. i am a bit new so i will have to look at the policy closely to see why those sources are not acceptable. i obviously thought they were fine or i wouldnt have suggested them. i will use afc and thank you. Happy monsoon day 16:33, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

The capitals are for important emphasis: the article was deleted via AFD ... that means if you were to recreate it, it could be instantly deleted and then locked to prevent if from being re-created in the future - I don't think you wanted that. WP:MUSIC is very clear about the notability requirements for musicians/bands. Nothing in the original met those. The reliable source noticeboard can help you determine how reliable a source is. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

you are right i did not want that. thank you. i will look at the policy there carefully and be sure to follow it in future. Happy monsoon day 16:45, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

No issues - another useful policy/guideline is WP:CRYSTAL ... it talks about "about to be big..." situations. Good luck (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:48, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

ok i really appreciate that. im glad i found this out before wasting time writing a bunch of band articles that people would just delete. i might userfy them in defiance of wp:crystal and bide my time, hey?!Happy monsoon day 01:09, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
