Hi,
I am actually General Le Nguyen Khang's grand daughter and am very well aware that he passed away in California. I'm not quite sure where I can find a correct source for this but here is a book that also supports this (Although he did not pass away in Hope, California but under the care of the City of Hope Medical Center.) https://books.google.com/books?id=qh5lffww-KsC&pg=PA648&lpg=PA648&dq=le+nguyen+khang+death&source=bl&ots=jCDTC3ywUx&sig=_ZITEXoWiPNsNscMS_-dPkzQYYM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=HJtOVamPENb8oQS3zIDgCQ&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=le%20nguyen%20khang%20death&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.230.218 ( talk) 23:44, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Okay, here is what I found out: [4] [5] [6]
So, we have articles on everything but the South Port, as it is officially called. But, I guess we don't need one, as the Guangdong–Hainan Ferry only has two ports, and the South Port is only used (as far as I know) for that ferry service.
I hope what I've added to those three articles makes sense. I have 68 images in the process of being uploaded. Do you think the railway station passenger notices are copyvios?

I'm trying to figure out where Qiongzhou Strait Train Ferry.jpg is. It is obviously an image of inside a ferry showing where the exiting trains go. I just took South Port (Hainan) - 05.JPG which shows the ferry where the train comes out. They do not match. So, it seems that Qiongzhou Strait Train Ferry.jpg is not an image of South Port. It is also probably not the Guangdong port. However, the logo and colour of the train in Qiongzhou Strait Train Ferry.jpg matches the South Port engine train that brings the train cars out of the ferry ( File:Railway between Haikou Railway Station and South Port - 04.JPG). I'm stumped. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 23:03, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, one teensy thing more: The ferry service is called the Guangdong–Hainan Ferry. I see the raiway continue up into Guangdong. So, what's the railway called? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 06:05, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Final question: Should Guangdong–Hainan Ferry be moved to Guangdong–Hainan Railway? The commons cat used to be called the latter, but I changed it to match the enwp article. If the article is Guangdong–Hainan Railway, then it could have a section about the ferry and be expanded to include info about where it goes up north in Guangdong, including maybe the northern terminus, wherever that is.
Final final question: The 1km of track between the Haikou Railway Station and South Port, that is part of which railway? Ahhhhhh, this is the sort of deep question that keeps philosophers up at night. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 22:42, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

The infobox is allowed to contain two or more native names as it does for many cities such as Lahore, Faizabad, and Moradabad as most cities have more than one spoken and official language. The native language of Lucknow is in fact Urdu, and Urdu is also the official language of Lucknow. "Lucknow has Urdu as its official language while Hindi is another of it's major languages".

Ok, I know that nothing Wiki can be regarded as reliable sources, but... Tinkering with Jean Paul Gaultier I came across a red link to a Swedish museum so I translated the article and fixed it up a bit. When I looked through its Commons category, I saw that the museum was involved with the WP something I thought could be worth mentioning. But that would mean using the Swe Wikimedia as source [10], [11]. Can I do that? In this case. Or... ? Also 'ping' Peter Isotalo (should he take a break from his Wikibreak) while I'm at it, since there are indications that he was at the event, and perhaps would like to add something to the article.

The Copyeditor's Barnstar |
For your especially good copyediting of the Bulverket. This will be one of the texts I'll go back to look at when I want to check for the right use of words in future articles. Thank You! w.carter -Talk 08:42, 15 June 2015 (UTC) |
Hello! Hope you have had a pleasant weekend. :) The Bulverket is the latest in my series of articles about "Crazy and Strange Things the Vikings did on Gotland". Do you think you could give it a once-over c/e? I'm going to DYK it later. I would love to have that hilarious photo of the partially very sunburned Dr. von Post on the main page! :D Best, w.carter -Talk 21:24, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Phil -- I have been following an important article that I think needs major reworking. I want to summon the help of many editors by nominating it for Good Article and offering a large number of specific suggestions, so many, in fact, that they would swamp the TalkPAge. Would it be the best thing to make a userspace sandbox and post the link on the TalkPage? Or is swamping the TalkPage not a problem?
I do not want to be critical of the editor who has taken over the article, for there has been a great amount of energy put into it and the editor should be applauded and encouraged to keep up the good work but to follow Wikipedia guidelines.
Maybe I should create a userspace article with a neutral name for you and a few others to give advice on. Not sure the best way to proceed.
My larger purpose is to argue that Wikipedia has now reached the stage where there are many major articles that need basic work but that editors (such as me) are more tempted to create new articles than to work on old ones. So rather than simply jump in and get into disputes, I want to raise the issue and start a process (of course, the immediate purpose is to make the article acceptable).
Any thoughts? Thanks once again in any case. ch ( talk) 16:51, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Redtigerxyz posted an Uncontroversial Move for Uchchaihshravas, but it was not uncontroversial.

Hi sir, you are looking to me from my culture? Pakhtun? Am i right. if not its okay. The actual and authentic map of languages of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ( file link ) is under constant attack from the vandals of either punjab descent or Hinkown dirts, who replace it by a biased version of poor design and shape. Plz, if you have the power of restriction imposition,please retrain these vandals under your supervision in order to protect real information from biasness and corruption.

Hello - the comma RfC concluded with a result that commas are allowed. Would you please restore the comma to the Jr. and Sr. titles in your Archive 40? I'd appreciate it - thanks. Dohn joe ( talk) 01:22, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Philg88. On 04:58, 10 June 2015, admin Anthony Appleyard restored John Romita Jr. to this longtime common name after an editor's undiscussed, unilateral move to a version with comma. The reason is that neither he nor his father, John Romita Sr., uses a comma in his name. John Romita Jr.'s own website spells his name without a comma, as do reference sources. I'm not sure why it was moved to a spelling that the subject himself does not use. Nor do references sources. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 21:32, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) User:Tenebrae: the problem here stems from dozens of undiscussed moves that one editor made and requested from the form "John Doe, Jr." to "John Doe Jr." It has since been determined that the use of commas in Jr. titles is optional. I (and apparently other editors) have been trying to put things back at the previous status quo for the affected articles. If you think that a particular name should or should not include a comma, it's probably best at this point to raise it at the talkpage. Dohn joe ( talk) 23:51, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

I have just started Furillen (not done yet). I'm not asking for a ce (the article is small, boring and unimportant), but I do have concerns about some wordings in the text.

Can you check the reference of government gazette and this newspaper article of master plan. There is IP edits in more number in both city and region articles.-- Vin09 ( talk) 04:03, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Ok, I know that nothing Wiki can be regarded as reliable sources, but... Tinkering with Jean Paul Gaultier I came across a red link to a Swedish museum so I translated the article and fixed it up a bit. When I looked through its Commons category, I saw that the museum was involved with the WP something I thought could be worth mentioning. But that would mean using the Swe Wikimedia as source [10], [11]. Can I do that? In this case. Or... ? Also 'ping' Peter Isotalo (should he take a break from his Wikibreak) while I'm at it, since there are indications that he was at the event, and perhaps would like to add something to the article. Cheers, w.carter -Talk 23:57, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

ok fine.-- Vin09 ( talk) 05:04, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

I noticed you edited {{ ISP}} and wondered if you would be interested in fixing its use of the now dead toolserver - someone posted on the talk page about other templates using functioning tools. Sorry if this is inappropriate to mention on your talk page. Slivicon ( talk) 20:57, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Sir,
Please see the edit history http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Kashmir_conflict&action=history how WP neutrality is being violated by Human3015 and co using different tactics. Your justice will be required. Thanks 39.47.121.0 ( talk) 16:41, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi again Philg88 -- as an administrator do you have (or could you tell me about) a magic wand to change "Boxer Rebellion Indemnity Scholarship Program" to "Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Program" in a slew of articles? They didn't get changed when the article and the category were corrected to Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Program?
The articles are listed here: Boxer Rebellion Indemnity Scholarship.
Cheers and many thanks in any case... ch ( talk) 16:57, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
I read a warning message. I want to understand why it has been left. I did not put any spam links or anything irrelevant on any page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isloors ( talk • contribs) 16:59, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

The Copyeditor's Barnstar |
For your especially good copyediting of the Bulverket. This will be one of the texts I'll go back to look at when I want to check for the right use of words in future articles. Thank You! w.carter -Talk 08:42, 15 June 2015 (UTC) |
Hello! Hope you have had a pleasant weekend. :) The Bulverket is the latest in my series of articles about "Crazy and Strange Things the Vikings did on Gotland". Do you think you could give it a once-over c/e? I'm going to DYK it later. I would love to have that hilarious photo of the partially very sunburned Dr. von Post on the main page! :D Best, w.carter -Talk 21:24, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Phil -- I have been following an important article that I think needs major reworking. I want to summon the help of many editors by nominating it for Good Article and offering a large number of specific suggestions, so many, in fact, that they would swamp the TalkPAge. Would it be the best thing to make a userspace sandbox and post the link on the TalkPage? Or is swamping the TalkPage not a problem?
I do not want to be critical of the editor who has taken over the article, for there has been a great amount of energy put into it and the editor should be applauded and encouraged to keep up the good work but to follow Wikipedia guidelines.
Maybe I should create a userspace article with a neutral name for you and a few others to give advice on. Not sure the best way to proceed.
My larger purpose is to argue that Wikipedia has now reached the stage where there are many major articles that need basic work but that editors (such as me) are more tempted to create new articles than to work on old ones. So rather than simply jump in and get into disputes, I want to raise the issue and start a process (of course, the immediate purpose is to make the article acceptable).
Any thoughts? Thanks once again in any case. ch ( talk) 16:51, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Redtigerxyz posted an Uncontroversial Move for Uchchaihshravas, but it was not uncontroversial. I would request it be undone as it needs to be discussed at the Talk page; that was not the appropriate tag as I had moved the page due to Wikipedia guidelines on the romanisation of Sanskrit. Ogress smash! 21:30, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi sir, you are looking to me from my culture? Pakhtun? Am i right. if not its okay. The actual and authentic map of languages of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ( file link ) is under constant attack from the vandals of either punjab descent or Hinkown dirts, who replace it by a biased version of poor design and shape. Plz, if you have the power of restriction imposition,please retrain these vandals under your supervision in order to protect real information from biasness and corruption.

Hello - the comma RfC concluded with a result that commas are allowed. Would you please restore the comma to the Jr. and Sr. titles in your Archive 40? I'd appreciate it - thanks. Dohn joe ( talk) 01:22, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Philg88. On 04:58, 10 June 2015, admin Anthony Appleyard restored John Romita Jr. to this longtime common name after an editor's undiscussed, unilateral move to a version with comma. The reason is that neither he nor his father, John Romita Sr., uses a comma in his name. John Romita Jr.'s own website spells his name without a comma, as do reference sources. I'm not sure why it was moved to a spelling that the subject himself does not use. Nor do references sources. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 21:32, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) User:Tenebrae: the problem here stems from dozens of undiscussed moves that one editor made and requested from the form "John Doe, Jr." to "John Doe Jr." It has since been determined that the use of commas in Jr. titles is optional. I (and apparently other editors) have been trying to put things back at the previous status quo for the affected articles. If you think that a particular name should or should not include a comma, it's probably best at this point to raise it at the talkpage. Dohn joe ( talk) 23:51, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Request to mail me the details I had uploaded regarding Khanij Pradesh.

I have just started Furillen (not done yet). I'm not asking for a ce (the article is small, boring and unimportant), but I do have concerns about some wordings in the text. How do I correctly describe this island which is an island on the coast of another island? In some parts of the text I have to treat the larger island Gotland as a "mainland" beside the smaller island Furillen. Could you just check if I got it right or if I messed up horribly? Best, w.carter -Talk 09:09, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Hey there! The Co-op has been on a hiatus for a bit, but we are planning on opening up shop again soon. When you're able, please read over and respond to this update on our talk page. We have favorable results from our final report regarding the pilot, and we are interested in seeing who is available to mentor when we reopen our space and begin to send out invites again. Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 23:16, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
You gave me a message about an edit to Vernon BC page, I haven't made any edits, nor do I intend to.
I don't even have an account with wiki. So I'm a little confused.
Thanks

![]() | On 26 June 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bulverket, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that thousands of logs that were the 12th-century wooden fort Bulverket, built in the middle of Sweden's Lake Tingstäde, can still be seen through the ice in winter? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bulverket. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

I'm fine with an immediate topic ban too. As I've been away for a while (though the problems seem to stay the same with these topics!) I've become far more lenient than I ought to with WP:GS/Caste restrictions. cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 14:15, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
