I note that you are trying to specifically link the move to Hong Kong and the Japanese invasion. If the source I gave is true (which you see somehow fit to remove), then the move cannot be caused by the Japanese invasion since it happened in early 1937 before the invasion. The Shaw official site actually does not specifically gave it as the reason for the move, which leave two opposing sources, and it is possible one is mistaken (since Zhang also say they moved before the invasion, he probably also made a mistake in interpretation). We have a number of sources that say the move happened before Japanese invasion -
[1]
[2], and I have other books and they don't specifically indicate a causal link between the the destruction in Shanghai and the move to Hong Kong. We also know that there had been two fires in the Tianyi studio in 1936
[3]
[4] although it is unclear whether it is the Hong Kong or Shanghai studio, but destruction of the studio is not something unique, it would not be wise to specifically link two event which may not directly linked. If the sequence of events are reverse (i.e. the move to Hong Kong happened before the destruction of the studio) then the way the sentences are written would be highly misleading. When there is doubt, don't write it to suggest that it is a fact.

Hu was a leading reformer, and wrote in his thesis "Observe economic laws, speed up the Four Modernizations" (published in 1978) that the planned economy was not observing the economic laws of society, and supported private initiative in the economy.. Hu Qiaomu was on par with Chen Yun, a reformer, but a reformer more obsessed with saving "key socialist features", such as preserving some elements of the planned economy. However, he was a reformer, and did not oppose Reform and Opening Up, being one of its leading advocates at the beginning... You can easily find this in Google Books, also, its referenced in the Ideology section of the Communist Party of China article (which I've written)... Calling him a conservative reformer yes, calling him a hardliner, no. A hardliner in the sense that he opposed liberal freedoms yes, but then everyone with the exception of Zhao and Hua were hardliners.. -- TIAYN ( talk) 12:00, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Yo, the reason I used uppercase for "General" is that it's a proper noun. (No cap intended) "general" is an adjective and is potentially confusing for those who don't know Chinese stuff i.e those who have no idea whether it's a name, a place or a small flowering shrub with extremely sharp leaves :). Based on that, I think it should move back. Best ► Philg88 ◄ talk 14:32, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Zanhe, thanks for responding to my revision. I was looking for some experienced wiki editors who are still active on this topic. Yet obviously there is opinion difference between us, I appreciate your related changes recently on pages like Shanghai, Shanghainese_people, Demonym, etc. In my opinion, "Shanghainese" is a word passed on due to the effect of "Chinglish", which might be invented in the early '80s by some arrogant local English learners in high-school level or lower (Another example, "Black New New", assume you know what it is. But this one is cute, btw). However, it is neither formalized nor "standard" (as you referred to in the revision history). Times have changed, and Wikipedia is a site that people around the world refer to when they don't know about some subject. I think it is very import to make names, concepts and ideas appearing on wiki pages clear and unbiased, as you know this wiki-editing business much better than I do. Even though someone would argue that "Shanghainese got more hits on Goolge", "Shanghaian" is NOT out of play. "Shanghainese" may have been accepted by some expats in Shanghai, but "Shanghaian" definitely makes better sense to foreigners who have never been to China (please ignore the word "Shanghaier"). so it will be much appreciated if you could consider making it a widely known issue among your wiki friends and bringing senior editors and domain experts to fix this problem. Thanks. -- MakeItFair Hopefully ( talk) 20:04, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Always happy to help out a fellow Wikipedian, especially you :), and my apologies in advance if you already know about Chinese numerology. Per your request, you don't really want a number with a "4" in it ( Rincewind42 excepted because 42 is special); it's a number associated with death in China and best avoided. The most auspicious is "8" (sounds like father, sons = cash) followed by "6" (sounds like flow, flow = prosperity). So "86" is perfect for you (and it's no coincidence that it's the dialing code for the PRC, although they're probably still pissed that Taiwan trumps them with "886"). Funny how it all comes down to money. Cheers, ► Philg88 ◄ ♦ talk 06:15, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Zanhe, I wanted to run this by you before moving ahead. A user with a very low edit count moved a number of related pages from Dzungar -> Zunghar (for example Zunghar people and Zunghar Khanate). According to this ngram, "Dzungar" is the WP:COMMONNAME and it's certainly the one used for Dzungaria, from which it derives. Having these two names in related topics is confusing for readers and I want to switch it back again. The question arises as to whether it can be done as a WP:BOLD move or requires a move discussion.

Yes, I had a similar reaction to yours regarding
hatnotes are for articles with similar names, but I draw to your attention that "similar" might have a MUCH wider definition than you have considered. For example, in the sense that they are all "archipelagos in the South China Sea", there are about 5 names that satisfy this, of which the Paracels and the Spratlys are but two.
In principal, I agree with your edit. In practice, I fear that it's not that easily defined, and hence, before I express a further opinion, I'd like to read what you have to say on the matter (of non-similar names referring to possibly "similar" (whatever that might mean) circumstance.

You have already reverted 4 times.
Your recent editing history at Neville Maxwell shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself as a fellow editor interested in China-related topics. I noticed you have made some wonderful contributions to this area, and have been copy-editing some recent article creations related to the corruption cases since 2013. Keep up the good work! I have been browsing around the template {{CPCCorruption2013}} to do some copy-editing and it is great to have help. These articles were mostly created by a single user, Huangdan2060. I have left some tips for this user to make these articles more in line with ordinarily accepted Wiki-standards. I'd much appreciate if you could lend a helping hand with cleaning up these articles and creating new ones, including articles about those officials who are of similar rank but have not been investigated (currently it seems we just have a large number of corrupt sub-provincial level officials with full articles but many national level officials who have very little coverage).

Might I suggest while we are on this topic that we unify the way by which we write titles of Shengwei Shuji on Wikipedia. Currently there have been many variations - Communist Party Chief, party chief, party boss, party head, Party Secretary, Communist Party Secretary, Secretary of CPC Committee, and so forth. We should pick one and stick with it. What do you think? I personally prefer "Communist Party Secretary of [X]" in the introduction of an article and infoboxes, and "party chief" thereafter.

See my response at his talk page; I removed part of what I'd told him (I'd messed up, having misread the ANI discussion), but I'm strongly leaning against making any other changes. Nyttend ( talk) 23:40, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Thanks (once again!) for the work on Lady Meng Jiang, but I wanted to clarify on your comment on removing the "Chinese name" template: "actually, her name follows the pre-Qin convention for Chinese women: Meng means eldest, and Jiang is her ancestral surname)."
The story, as I understand it, up to at least the Han and more likely the Tang, concerned Qi Liang's Wife, not Meng. Don't later versions treat Meng as her family name? I'm wondering if we shouldn't mention this at some point, but I don't have a reference to either the pre-Qin usage or to a way of adding that "Meng" as a family name came only later (if indeed it did). If you have to spend more than 2 minutes on this, then let's just let things stand the way they are, since it doesn't affect anything important one way or the other. Cheers, ch ( talk) 19:53, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the response at the Discoverer's talk, but I'd rather not have a conversation between us at his talk page. Before writing my note to him, I attempted to read the USMC publication that you linked, but for whatever reason, the site wouldn't let me view it, so I'm treating it as an offline source, just like the Maxwell book that's not online. [Note that this next sentence sounds really offensive. I'm really sorry; I don't know how better to put it!] With all of the offline sources, I'm trying to start off by not assuming that either of you is telling the truth about the sources: I want to investigate for myself and make a decision, influenced by you and by him but not relying on your or his assessments of what's going on when I can't see for myself, since both of you are parties to the decision; I want to treat both of you equally, and I can't simply assume good faith because it's clearly not possible for both of you to be doing the right thing. That's why I've relied on viewing the Maxwell book that's online via scribd; I'm inclined to believe you because your statements of his behavior with other sources matches what I can see of his behavior with that source. However, I still don't want to take any actions based solely on your perspective; I'm going to wait until I can see things for myself or until your perspective is supported by someone who's not been involved in here at all. I wish I were more familiar with the topic, but modern India is very far from my expertise. Nyttend ( talk) 01:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, good to see you continue the article creation drive! I think we should talk about how to unify the formatting of pinyin and Chinese characters at the beginning of articles, namely, would you prefer that they appear in the opening line using template {{zh|c=}}... or would you prefer relegating everything to the infobox {{Chinese}}? Personally, I like having at least the original Chinese name in the opening line, but we can exclude the pinyin and other romanizations (exceptions can be made). The reason I don't like having everything in an infobox (such as what user Huangdan has been doing) is because the subjects of some of these articles is only really known within the Chinese-speaking community, or in some cases, almost everything that has been written about them is in the Chinese language. As such it should be immediately apparent to the reader what the subject's Chinese name is. For example in the article on Zhao Hongzhu, I would be in favour of keeping the infobox, but retaining at least a Simplified Chinese name in parentheses in the opening line; the traditional Chinese and pinyin can go in the infobox.

Ji was the ancestral name of the kings of Zhou and Wu. This book was written during the song dynasty. The descendants of Zhou changed their surname from Ji to Zhou during the Qin dynasty.

They changed their surnames to honor their respective states/country. Tell me, since Gugong Danfu's (pre dynastic Zhou's leader) oldest son, TAIBO is the starter of WU, and JILI(Danfu's youngest son)was the heir and his grandson started the Zhou dynasty...you really can't see the significance of the surnames "Zhou" and "Wu" being one of the first names of the poem? If it is so unimportant and insignificant as you claim, then please explain why it is up there with the other "elite" surnames. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.172.46.132 ( talk) 06:12, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Do you think this should be placed back from being automatic archived? Because I think it will once again go like last time with no decision, which is very detrimental. It needs a decision. And frankly, the user has once again propped-up his/her centric views while not giving due weight to all information as cited in sources at Gojoseon, removing them even. Too bad it's a busy time at the moment for me. And even though the RFC is against the user, I think that the little input of other users will just leave the article with one thing: the user pushing his/her views once again against sources and consensus. -- Cold Season ( talk) 21:53, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

I note that you are trying to specifically link the move to Hong Kong and the Japanese invasion. If the source I gave is true (which you see somehow fit to remove), then the move cannot be caused by the Japanese invasion since it happened in early 1937 before the invasion. The Shaw official site actually does not specifically gave it as the reason for the move, which leave two opposing sources, and it is possible one is mistaken (since Zhang also say they moved before the invasion, he probably also made a mistake in interpretation). We have a number of sources that say the move happened before Japanese invasion -
[1]
[2], and I have other books and they don't specifically indicate a causal link between the the destruction in Shanghai and the move to Hong Kong. We also know that there had been two fires in the Tianyi studio in 1936
[3]
[4] although it is unclear whether it is the Hong Kong or Shanghai studio, but destruction of the studio is not something unique, it would not be wise to specifically link two event which may not directly linked. If the sequence of events are reverse (i.e. the move to Hong Kong happened before the destruction of the studio) then the way the sentences are written would be highly misleading. When there is doubt, don't write it to suggest that it is a fact.

Hu was a leading reformer, and wrote in his thesis "Observe economic laws, speed up the Four Modernizations" (published in 1978) that the planned economy was not observing the economic laws of society, and supported private initiative in the economy.. Hu Qiaomu was on par with Chen Yun, a reformer, but a reformer more obsessed with saving "key socialist features", such as preserving some elements of the planned economy. However, he was a reformer, and did not oppose Reform and Opening Up, being one of its leading advocates at the beginning... You can easily find this in Google Books, also, its referenced in the Ideology section of the Communist Party of China article (which I've written)... Calling him a conservative reformer yes, calling him a hardliner, no. A hardliner in the sense that he opposed liberal freedoms yes, but then everyone with the exception of Zhao and Hua were hardliners.. -- TIAYN ( talk) 12:00, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Yo, the reason I used uppercase for "General" is that it's a proper noun. (No cap intended) "general" is an adjective and is potentially confusing for those who don't know Chinese stuff i.e those who have no idea whether it's a name, a place or a small flowering shrub with extremely sharp leaves :).

Hi Zanhe, thanks for responding to my revision. I was looking for some experienced wiki editors who are still active on this topic. Yet obviously there is opinion difference between us, I appreciate your related changes recently on pages like Shanghai, Shanghainese_people, Demonym, etc. In my opinion, "Shanghainese" is a word passed on due to the effect of "Chinglish", which might be invented in the early '80s by some arrogant local English learners in high-school level or lower (Another example, "Black New New", assume you know what it is. But this one is cute, btw). However, it is neither formalized nor "standard" (as you referred to in the revision history). Times have changed, and Wikipedia is a site that people around the world refer to when they don't know about some subject. I think it is very import to make names, concepts and ideas appearing on wiki pages clear and unbiased, as you know this wiki-editing business much better than I do. Even though someone would argue that "Shanghainese got more hits on Goolge", "Shanghaian" is NOT out of play. "Shanghainese" may have been accepted by some expats in Shanghai, but "Shanghaian" definitely makes better sense to foreigners who have never been to China (please ignore the word "Shanghaier"). so it will be much appreciated if you could consider making it a widely known issue among your wiki friends and bringing senior editors and domain experts to fix this problem. Thanks. -- MakeItFair Hopefully ( talk) 20:04, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Always happy to help out a fellow Wikipedian, especially you :), and my apologies in advance if you already know about Chinese numerology. Per your request, you don't really want a number with a "4" in it ( Rincewind42 excepted because 42 is special); it's a number associated with death in China and best avoided. The most auspicious is "8" (sounds like father, sons = cash) followed by "6" (sounds like flow, flow = prosperity). So "86" is perfect for you (and it's no coincidence that it's the dialing code for the PRC, although they're probably still pissed that Taiwan trumps them with "886"). Funny how it all comes down to money. Cheers, ► Philg88 ◄ ♦ talk 06:15, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Zanhe, I wanted to run this by you before moving ahead. A user with a very low edit count moved a number of related pages from Dzungar -> Zunghar (for example Zunghar people and Zunghar Khanate). According to this ngram, "Dzungar" is the WP:COMMONNAME and it's certainly the one used for Dzungaria, from which it derives. Having these two names in related topics is confusing for readers and I want to switch it back again. The question arises as to whether it can be done as a WP:BOLD move or requires a move discussion. Thoughts? Philg88 ♦ talk 06:17, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I had a similar reaction to yours regarding
hatnotes are for articles with similar names, but I draw to your attention that "similar" might have a MUCH wider definition than you have considered. For example, in the sense that they are all "archipelagos in the South China Sea", there are about 5 names that satisfy this, of which the Paracels and the Spratlys are but two.
In principal, I agree with your edit. In practice, I fear that it's not that easily defined, and hence, before I express a further opinion, I'd like to read what you have to say on the matter (of non-similar names referring to possibly "similar" (whatever that might mean) circumstance.

You have already reverted 4 times.
Your recent editing history at Neville Maxwell shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself as a fellow editor interested in China-related topics. I noticed you have made some wonderful contributions to this area, and have been copy-editing some recent article creations related to the corruption cases since 2013. Keep up the good work! I have been browsing around the template {{CPCCorruption2013}} to do some copy-editing and it is great to have help. These articles were mostly created by a single user, Huangdan2060. I have left some tips for this user to make these articles more in line with ordinarily accepted Wiki-standards. I'd much appreciate if you could lend a helping hand with cleaning up these articles and creating new ones, including articles about those officials who are of similar rank but have not been investigated (currently it seems we just have a large number of corrupt sub-provincial level officials with full articles but many national level officials who have very little coverage).

Might I suggest while we are on this topic that we unify the way by which we write titles of Shengwei Shuji on Wikipedia. Currently there have been many variations - Communist Party Chief, party chief, party boss, party head, Party Secretary, Communist Party Secretary, Secretary of CPC Committee, and so forth. We should pick one and stick with it. What do you think? I personally prefer "Communist Party Secretary of [X]" in the introduction of an article and infoboxes, and "party chief" thereafter.

Thanks (once again!) for the work on Lady Meng Jiang, but I wanted to clarify on your comment on removing the "Chinese name" template: "actually, her name follows the pre-Qin convention for Chinese women: Meng means eldest, and Jiang is her ancestral surname)."
The story, as I understand it, up to at least the Han and more likely the Tang, concerned Qi Liang's Wife, not Meng. Don't later versions treat Meng as her family name? I'm wondering if we shouldn't mention this at some point, but I don't have a reference to either the pre-Qin usage or to a way of adding that "Meng" as a family name came only later (if indeed it did). If you have to spend more than 2 minutes on this, then let's just let things stand the way they are, since it doesn't affect anything important one way or the other. Cheers, ch ( talk) 19:53, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the response at the Discoverer's talk, but I'd rather not have a conversation between us at his talk page. Before writing my note to him, I attempted to read the USMC publication that you linked, but for whatever reason, the site wouldn't let me view it, so I'm treating it as an offline source, just like the Maxwell book that's not online. [Note that this next sentence sounds really offensive. I'm really sorry; I don't know how better to put it!] With all of the offline sources, I'm trying to start off by not assuming that either of you is telling the truth about the sources: I want to investigate for myself and make a decision, influenced by you and by him but not relying on your or his assessments of what's going on when I can't see for myself, since both of you are parties to the decision; I want to treat both of you equally, and I can't simply assume good faith because it's clearly not possible for both of you to be doing the right thing. That's why I've relied on viewing the Maxwell book that's online via scribd; I'm inclined to believe you because your statements of his behavior with other sources matches what I can see of his behavior with that source. However, I still don't want to take any actions based solely on your perspective; I'm going to wait until I can see things for myself or until your perspective is supported by someone who's not been involved in here at all. I wish I were more familiar with the topic, but modern India is very far from my expertise. Nyttend ( talk) 01:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, good to see you continue the article creation drive! I think we should talk about how to unify the formatting of pinyin and Chinese characters at the beginning of articles, namely, would you prefer that they appear in the opening line using template {{zh|c=}}... or would you prefer relegating everything to the infobox {{Chinese}}? Personally, I like having at least the original Chinese name in the opening line, but we can exclude the pinyin and other romanizations (exceptions can be made). The reason I don't like having everything in an infobox (such as what user Huangdan has been doing) is because the subjects of some of these articles is only really known within the Chinese-speaking community, or in some cases, almost everything that has been written about them is in the Chinese language. As such it should be immediately apparent to the reader what the subject's Chinese name is. For example in the article on Zhao Hongzhu, I would be in favour of keeping the infobox, but retaining at least a Simplified Chinese name in parentheses in the opening line; the traditional Chinese and pinyin can go in the infobox.

Ji was the ancestral name of the kings of Zhou and Wu. This book was written during the song dynasty. The descendants of Zhou changed their surname from Ji to Zhou during the Qin dynasty.

They changed their surnames to honor their respective states/country. Tell me, since Gugong Danfu's (pre dynastic Zhou's leader) oldest son, TAIBO is the starter of WU, and JILI(Danfu's youngest son)was the heir and his grandson started the Zhou dynasty...you really can't see the significance of the surnames "Zhou" and "Wu" being one of the first names of the poem? If it is so unimportant and insignificant as you claim, then please explain why it is up there with the other "elite" surnames. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.172.46.132 ( talk) 06:12, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Do you think this should be placed back from being automatic archived? Because I think it will once again go like last time with no decision, which is very detrimental. It needs a decision. And frankly, the user has once again propped-up his/her centric views while not giving due weight to all information as cited in sources at Gojoseon, removing them even. Too bad it's a busy time at the moment for me. And even though the RFC is against the user, I think that the little input of other users will just leave the article with one thing: the user pushing his/her views once again against sources and consensus. -- Cold Season ( talk) 21:53, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
