Hi Ramtears, I noticed you're adding a Navbox to a number of articles. Instead of pasting in the full Navbox code, it is better to put in the code {{ First PLA Shang Jiang}}, which automatically adds the Navbox to the articles. This keeps the code all in one place (the template); thus, if the template needs to be changed all pages will be instantly updated instead of having to update them all at once. See the code of Gan Siqi for an example of how to do this. Also, don't put categories inside of <noinclude>...</noinclude> tags, as this prevents them from working properly. Thanks, -- CapitalR ( talk) 08:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Ramtears, thanks for your information. I have moved Guanghua Temple to Guanghua Temple (Putian). You may create other Guanghua Temples. Please add categories and, if applicable, interlanguage links when you create articles. For example, there are zh:北京广化寺 and zh:洛阳广化寺 at Chinese Wikipedia. Adding interlanguage links can help readers and editors check articles' different language versions. And If you want to rename a page, you can use the move function (see Help:Moving a page). In order to restore the edit history and respect the contributions of previous editors, Wikipedia does not allow moving a page by cut and paste. For the information on how to create disambiguation page, please see Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Thank you so much for your contributions. By the way, please don't forget to add your signature to your message. A four tilde "~~~~" will automatically add your signature and the time. There is a button for signature at the menu on the top of the page. Thank you. -- Neo-Jay ( talk) 09:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you can move it to Sen-oku Hakuko Kan per its official website. But we may also keep Sen'oku Hakkokan as a redirect. There are 166 hits for Sen'oku Hakkokan by Google Search, even more than Sen-oku Hakuko Kan's 122 hits and Sen'oku Hakukokan's 49 hits. I think that all the other alternative spellings can be created as redirects. Even if Sen'oku Hakkokan is wrong, it's OK to leave it alone. Wikipedian allows some wrong spellings to be redirects, for example, United Kindom. For further information, see Category:Redirects from misspellings. Thank you.-- Neo-Jay ( talk) 03:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you created Zhang Yin (painter) and Zhang Yan (painter). Thanks for your contributions. But please add disambiguation information or create disambiguation page. Otherwise it will be very difficult for other readers to find the articles you created. I have changed Zhang Yin and Zhang Yan to be disambiguation pages. This is a common method for disambiguation. The other method is to create a special disambiguation page with the title "XXX (disambiguation)" if the title XXX has a primary use. For further information, see Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Thank you. -- Neo-Jay ( talk) 12:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't have hard-copy dictionary. According to my personal knowledge, 堡 indeed has a second pronunciation Bǔ, usually used in Northwest China's place names such as Wayaobu (瓦窑堡). But I cannot give you any evidence since you never trust online dictionaries, especially Kingsoft. Then why not follow Wubu County Government's official website? Some Chinese place names have unusual pronunciations. For example, Hongdong County actually should be Hongtong County. 洞 in this case is not pronounced as Dòng, but as Tóng, a very unusual pronunciation. But I am tired of arguing and requesting to move. Hope someone can finally correct it someday. Best regards. -- Neo-Jay ( talk) 17:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Greetings. I see you have created a number of new articles lately. This is great. However, you are creating them without placing them into the appropriate categories, which creates work for other Wikipedia editors who have to re-research each article in order to place it properly. You are also creating articles without proper citing proper references. Without proper references an article can not be considered verifiable and will probably be deleted.
Please go back and fix the articles you have created since you know the about the contents of each. This would include Lin Shusen, Chen Guoling, Fang Fenghui, Jiang Weixin among others.

I had noticed this issue and also found the disambiguation difficult because their career backgrounds are so similar.

Hi, Ramtears, and thanks for your comments on my Talk page. One source I used for the structure of the GPD was a (*ahem*) US "State" Department publication called something like "Directory of Chinese People's Liberation Army Officials," and it dated back to 2000 or 2001. Not classified, but also not available (generally) outside official government sources. To avoid users having trouble overseas, there is no publisher, but people I have spoken with over the years all know who is really behind it (yeah, "The Company"). I believe it to be authoritative, but there is always room for name changes. On your specific points, I've removed the redundant "Cultural Departments. My guess is the 8-1 Film Studio is probably directly under another bureau. As for the rest, you seem to have the sources, so go ahead and make the changes. You might also want to check out some of the other pages I've edited, such as Li Desheng, Xu Shiyou, Chen Xilian, PLA Air Force and the various Military Regions.

Ramtears, thanks for your concern about the copyright issue. Wikipedia permits anyone to duplicate its materials under the GFDL rules. According to the edit history of this Wikia site's article Liu Bocheng, its content was copied and pasted from Wikipedia's article Liu Bocheng on January 21, 2007. So it's clear that Wikipedia does not violate copyright in this case. I agree that determining copyright violation may be difficult sometimes. If we cannot tell which version was posted first, probably we can presume innocence. Anyway it's up to Wikipedians' discussion and consensus. For further information, please see Wikipedia:Copyright violations. Thanks. -- Neo-Jay ( talk) 18:19, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Ramtears, thanks again. It's again my mistake. I simply wanted to use pinyin for this Uyghur politician but used a wrong spelling.

Ramtears, since I saw you have been a heavy contributor to it, I wanted to let you know I've been busy and added just shy of 100 Chinese painter articles for List of Chinese painters, so there's a lot more linked material. Granted most are still in a stub state, but they're there for others to come through and add more to. FYI. Have a nice day. Keithh ( talk) 16:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I've just categorised this article, and was wondering if you could clarify what 'imperial graduate' means ? There's no explanation in the article, and I can't find anything in Wikipedia. Does it mean he graduated from a particular school, or was painter to the Imperial court, or something else ? CultureDrone ( talk) 11:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
It is conventional in mathematics to use the "wrong" Western ordering for Chinese mathematicians. It is also conventional for the English Wikipedia to follow English usage, see WP:UE. We thus use Shing-Tung Yau and Shiing-shen Chern. For politicians, we use Chiang Kai-shek but H. H. Kung, this is consistent with following English usage, not trying to determine what the "correct" names would be. Can you repair the inconsistency you have created and move Tian Gang back to where it is supposed to be? (The "correct name" 田刚 is probably not a good idea in this context). Kusma ( talk) 12:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
[copied from C S's talk page]
Thanks for your message and instructions. I've read very carefully the article Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese). My understanding is generally Chinese name starts with surname, e.g. Tian Gang. The only exception is the person is more familiar to English readers. As for Tian Gang, the Chinese media has a massive coverage on him, and I doubt there are more western readers knowing him than Chinese fellows. More importantly, if we edit it as Gang Tian, how about other prominent Chinese mathematicians, who also enjoyed world recognition? I'm not sure Tian Gang's achievement is comparable to those of Hua Luogeng, Chen Jingrun, Su Buqing or Wu Wenjun. All are famous mathematicians and all their names start with surnames. If we convert them following your example, that's a lot of work.
Now I see Tian Gang also holds a position at Princeton. This may explain the case. Does it mean that as long as a person is hired in a western country, his name should follow English order? Well, let's see the fact. There're hundreds of Chinese scientists existing in Wiki, and their names start with surnames. In future, some of them may be well recognized in the western countries, or be as famous as Dr. Gang Tian, (very likely), or some may be hired overseas and thus gain more popularity. Shall we, at that time, switch the order of their names?
I'm not a mathematician of a biographical writer or something. Either Tian Gang or Gang Tian is none of my interest. But this issue is worth discussing, at least for the uniformity of Wiki style. Regards. Ramtears ( talk) 01:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Ramtears, nice to see you. You are right. As a rule, the article for a Chinese person should place his/her surname first as the article title. But there is also an exception: if the person's Chinese name is familiar with English ordering, then the given name should be placed first. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese)#Order of names. I understand that sometimes it's difficult to determine whether the rule or the exception should be applied to a person, such as Gang Tian. In such difficult cases, I usually let other editors to decide. Thank you. -- Neo-Jay ( talk) 04:36, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
I am categorizing some photos that I've uploaded to wiki commons, and am curious about an architectural element which I've seen on top of some temples in Thailand and China. As you've written a few articles on Buddhist temples in China, I am asking your opinion on it. On top of Thailand's Wat Arun, this thing appears as a 7-spiked trident (really, it looks more like a Jewish menorah to me!); in southern Hubei, it's very common on village temples/shrines, and appears as a trident with an inverted trident under it. Do you think that's the Hindu Trishula, in its Thai Buddhist and Chinese Buddhist variants, respectively? Would you know if it (in either form) has any special meaning other than "this is a Buddhist temple"? (For example, the Christian cross appears in somewhat different forms on Orthodox, Catholic, etc. churches - would Buddhism have similar architecturally expressed divisions)? As far as I remember, it does not seem to appear much on Buddhist temples in other areas I've visited.
My apologies if the question is outside of your area of expertise / interest. Vmenkov ( talk) 11:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Granted most are still in a stub state, but they're there for others to come through and add more to. FYI. Have a nice day. Keithh ( talk) 16:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I've just categorised this article, and was wondering if you could clarify what 'imperial graduate' means ? There's no explanation in the article, and I can't find anything in Wikipedia. Does it mean he graduated from a particular school, or was painter to the Imperial court, or something else ? CultureDrone ( talk) 11:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
It is conventional in mathematics to use the "wrong" Western ordering for Chinese mathematicians. It is also conventional for the English Wikipedia to follow English usage, see WP:UE. We thus use Shing-Tung Yau and Shiing-shen Chern. For politicians, we use Chiang Kai-shek but H. H. Kung, this is consistent with following English usage, not trying to determine what the "correct" names would be. Can you repair the inconsistency you have created and move Tian Gang back to where it is supposed to be? (The "correct name" 田刚 is probably not a good idea in this context).

[copied from C S's talk page]
Thanks for your message and instructions. I've read very carefully the article Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese). My understanding is generally Chinese name starts with surname, e.g. Tian Gang. The only exception is the person is more familiar to English readers. As for Tian Gang, the Chinese media has a massive coverage on him, and I doubt there are more western readers knowing him than Chinese fellows. More importantly, if we edit it as Gang Tian, how about other prominent Chinese mathematicians, who also enjoyed world recognition? I'm not sure Tian Gang's achievement is comparable to those of Hua Luogeng, Chen Jingrun, Su Buqing or Wu Wenjun. All are famous mathematicians and all their names start with surnames. If we convert them following your example, that's a lot of work.
Now I see Tian Gang also holds a position at Princeton. This may explain the case. Does it mean that as long as a person is hired in a western country, his name should follow English order? Well, let's see the fact. There're hundreds of Chinese scientists existing in Wiki, and their names start with surnames. In future, some of them may be well recognized in the western countries, or be as famous as Dr. Gang Tian, (very likely), or some may be hired overseas and thus gain more popularity. Shall we, at that time, switch the order of their names?
I'm not a mathematician of a biographical writer or something. Either Tian Gang or Gang Tian is none of my interest. But this issue is worth discussing, at least for the uniformity of Wiki style. Regards. Ramtears ( talk) 01:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Ramtears, nice to see you. You are right. As a rule, the article for a Chinese person should place his/her surname first as the article title. But there is also an exception: if the person's Chinese name is familiar with English ordering, then the given name should be placed first. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese)#Order of names. I understand that sometimes it's difficult to determine whether the rule or the exception should be applied to a person, such as Gang Tian. In such difficult cases, I usually let other editors to decide. Thank you. -- Neo-Jay ( talk) 04:36, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
I am categorizing some photos that I've uploaded to wiki commons, and am curious about an architectural element which I've seen on top of some temples in Thailand and China. As you've written a few articles on Buddhist temples in China, I am asking your opinion on it. On top of Thailand's Wat Arun, this thing appears as a 7-spiked trident (really, it looks more like a Jewish menorah to me!); in southern Hubei, it's very common on village temples/shrines, and appears as a trident with an inverted trident under it. Do you think that's the Hindu Trishula, in its Thai Buddhist and Chinese Buddhist variants, respectively? Would you know if it (in either form) has any special meaning other than "this is a Buddhist temple"? (For example, the Christian cross appears in somewhat different forms on Orthodox, Catholic, etc. churches - would Buddhism have similar architecturally expressed divisions)? As far as I remember, it does not seem to appear much on Buddhist temples in other areas I've visited.
My apologies if the question is outside of your area of expertise / interest. Vmenkov ( talk) 11:44, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello Ramtears. I have read your articles concerning the descendants of the Hongxian Emperor (Yuan Shikai), but I have been wondering if he ever chose a name for his dynasty, as did the Ming, Qing, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.49.148 ( talk) 02:06, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

An article you recently created,
Zhu Wuhua, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ♠
