The fact that you haven't heard the name of one of Australia's best known 19th century photographers doesn't make him non-notable. As for Greg Bierne, he is an artist, not a casual snapshot photographer. Amandajm ( talk) 12:28, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
You previously voted against a move back to Dragon Boat Festival from an editor's bold move to "Duanwu Festival" because a "more precise, official name is preferred in the case of competing English names" and because "'Dragon Boat Festival' often means a specific dragon boating competition, rather than the festival itself".
With respect, the second of those points is simply untrue, as sourced at the talk page by others and now myself. Part of those sources (just added by me) address your first point: there aren't really "competing" English names (DBF is far and away more common) and DBF is the official English usage of the central government of the PRC, of its branches (even in locales like Beijing where there are no races), and of its English-language media organs.
That may not change your personal distaste for it but, for what it's worth, links to my sources and discussion are here if they might cause you to reconsider your previous vote and establish a better, more accurate consensus over there. — LlywelynII 10:58, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

In this edit you redirected National_Security_Committee to National_Security_Council. The edit summary you used was, sorry, worthless.
I found this a very strange edit, one that really does require a much fuller explanation.
Practically all the instances where an article contained a link to National Security Committee the context is that it was some kind of secret police -- like the Gestapo, not a committee of senior advisors, like the United States National Security Council.
I agree with User:Materialscientist, whose first edit summary said "National Security Committee is too general and should become a disambig page."
If you provide an explanation, please put it on Talk:National Security Committee. Geo Swan ( talk) 13:22, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

A) Announce yourself as such, rather than run afoul of WP:SOCKPUPPET &c. by pretending to be two people. B) review WP:3RR and the editing process.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
St. Ignatius Cathedral into
St. Francis Xavier Church (Shanghai). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at

Hello PalaceGuard008, I want to ask you about the recent article moves to several articles on Chinese warships. While I do not disagree with your edits, many of them were helpful, I can't help but feel the articles are messy and somewhat arbitrary. We now have a big mess of Wade-Giles and Pinyin mixed in together when the Wikipedia policy so far with Chinese warships is to favour pinyin names, for example the Qing era Chinese ironclad Dingyuan and Chinese ironclad Zhenyuan rather than Ting Yuen and Chen Yuen, even if at the time the Wade-Giles spelling was more common. Now though, there is a Chinese cruiser Chao Ho in Wade-Giles but her sister ship, Chinese cruiser Ying Rui in Pinyin. This seems to go against the general Wikipedia consensus and seems clunky and unintuitive. It could be argued that Ying Rui could be changed to the Wade-Giles Ying Swei or Chao Ho back to the Pinyin Zhao He but not both different romanizations at once?

On the current Wikipedia page for "Sheshan Basilica" it seems as if your edit added in some information of particular interest:
On June 12, 2007 you added: "Traditionally, many of the Catholics in the area were fishermen, who would make the pilgrimage by boat. This tradition continues among local Catholics, with the result that the creeks around She Shan are often crowded with boats in May." ( Source)
This phrase persists to current iterations of the page, yet without any citation. Were these facts sourced from your personal experience, or from the anecdotes of someone else? While scholars note that early pilgrims traveled by boat, this is the only online source proposing that boat travel continues to be a part of contemporary pilgrimage to this site. Further citation would be much appreciated!

.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
St. Ignatius Cathedral into
St. Francis Xavier Church (Shanghai). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. —

Hello PalaceGuard008, I want to ask you about the recent article moves to several articles on Chinese warships. While I do not disagree with your edits, many of them were helpful, I can't help but feel the articles are messy and somewhat arbitrary. We now have a big mess of Wade-Giles and Pinyin mixed in together when the Wikipedia policy so far with Chinese warships is to favour pinyin names, for example the Qing era Chinese ironclad Dingyuan and Chinese ironclad Zhenyuan rather than Ting Yuen and Chen Yuen, even if at the time the Wade-Giles spelling was more common. Now though, there is a Chinese cruiser Chao Ho in Wade-Giles but her sister ship, Chinese cruiser Ying Rui in Pinyin. This seems to go against the general Wikipedia consensus and seems clunky and unintuitive. It could be argued that Ying Rui could be changed to the Wade-Giles Ying Swei or Chao Ho back to the Pinyin Zhao He but not both different romanizations at once?

Instead of trolling my talkpage (FYI, you're persona non grata on my userspace, so don't bother posting there again), you have 2 options. Either re-direct your old talkpage to your new talkpage OR stop editing the old talkpage of an account you abandoned. After talking to Bish, I'm no longer gonna bother removing your pathetic personal attack against her from your current talkpage, but you don't get to maintain 2 separate talkpages/userspace (nobody does) and determine who gets to post on them and who doesn't. I'm giving you 24 hours to either re-direct your old talkpage here or voluntarily remove the personal attack from User talk:Sumple.

On the current Wikipedia page for "Sheshan Basilica" it seems as if your edit added in some information of particular interest:
On June 12, 2007 you added: "Traditionally, many of the Catholics in the area were fishermen, who would make the pilgrimage by boat. This tradition continues among local Catholics, with the result that the creeks around She Shan are often crowded with boats in May." ( Source)
This phrase persists to current iterations of the page, yet without any citation. Were these facts sourced from your personal experience, or from the anecdotes of someone else? While scholars note that early pilgrims traveled by boat, this is the only online source proposing that boat travel continues to be a part of contemporary pilgrimage to this site. Further citation would be much appreciated!
