- @ 波斯波莉斯: hello! You are very welcome and thank you for praising my work here on English Wikipedia. I am honored. To address your first question about citations from Wikipedia:Reliable sources, I would stick mostly to modern scholarly works published by academic institutions (universities, museums, libraries, research centers, etc.). Although we prioritize sources in the English language, they don't have to be from Western countries, and can simply be works from anywhere, including East Asia or China in particular. There's certainly nothing wrong with that, aside from the rare instance where Chinese academics and those from other countries disagree strongly on a controversial or sensitive political topic in history. You certainly won't run into any problems there with the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as most modern academic disagreements dealing with territories like Tibet or Taiwan stem from either Ming or Qing dynasty history. Pericles of Athens Talk 04:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- @ 波斯波莉斯: As for which dynasty represents the "golden age", that was one of the few things in the WP:Lead section of the Tang dynasty article that I didn't actually write, as some other editor added it. However, I don't object to the claim or label of a golden age, as it is also frequently applied to the Han dynasty. I personally think China under the Song dynasty was culturally, intellectually, technologically and socially more advanced than either the Han or Tang empires, but most people don't refer to it as a golden age simply because of the fragmented political history of northern parts of China being ruled over by the Khitan Liao dynasty, Tangut Western Xia dynasty, Jurchen Jin dynasty, and of course the Mongols who eventually formed the Yuan dynasty. I think this is a wrong approach to judging the Song dynasty, but unfortunately most others don't see it my way and I've never seen an academic describe the Song dynasty as a golden age. A shame, because in my humble opinion I consider figures like Shen Kuo (沈括) to be the very best of what pre-modern China had to offer. Pericles of Athens Talk 04:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- @ 波斯波莉斯: I know some Irish history and I even lived in Northern Ireland (part of the UK) as a postgraduate student for several years, but it is actually not my area of expertise. I still know a bit of Mandarin Chinese from college, but I am very rusty. Believe it or not, Chinese language and history are also not my areas of expertise. I just happen to love Chinese history and view Imperial China as a sort of equivalent to the Roman Empire in East Asia that managed to regroup and outlive the Roman Empire by surviving into the 20th century with the Guangxu and Xuantong emperors of the late Qing dynasty. I would be happy to help you hunt down sources for the Northern and Southern dynasties, though! Pericles of Athens Talk 04:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- @ 波斯波莉斯: Google Books is helpful but usually has too many pages missing from previews of books. I would strongly advise searching for free online academic sources in addition to any books you might have on the topic. For instance, simply Googling "Southern and Northern Dynasties, site:edu", as the "site:edu" specification added to the end will lead you to purely academic websites, not social media blogs or pop news articles. For instance, I was able to find these interesting sources from the Michael Schwartz Library talking about calligraphy during the Northern and Southern dynasties period, or this site from the University of Southern California China Institute discussing artwork during the long period of the Six Dynasties. Best of luck to you finding what you need! Pericles of Athens Talk 04:54, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

An article you recently created,
Ono Rikka, does not have enough sources and citations 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

Hello 波斯波莉斯! Your additions to
History of opium in China have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the
public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a
suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid
copyright and
plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 13:30, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello 波斯波莉斯! Thank you for your edits to the Longzhou Uprising page. I read your user page and noticed that you want to write some English Wikipedia articles. Would you be interested in collaborating with me? I think socialists everywhere would benefit from more accurate information about the Chinese Communist Revolution. I've been trying to improve the quality of the articles about it, but I don't speak Chinese and don't live in China. If we worked together, we would be able to have access to both English-language and Chinese-language sources, which could result in much better quality articles.
If you're not interested, no worries. Just thought I'd drop you a line! Happy editing. SilverStar54 ( talk) 05:34, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- @ SilverStar54:Hello, SilverStar54! First, thanks for your invitation. It is my pleasure to assist or collaborate with you on some articles pertaining to CCP and its various organizations. Nevertheless, my major interest in the East Bloc is in some may sense more "nugatory" and "unremarkable" countries, such as North Vietnam and Democratic Kampuchea instead of China. Compared to the former, I occasionally pore certain articles about Chinese Communist Revolution (more specifically, before reform and opening-up) if they are involved in or have some implications for articles I have been reading or editing. Given the above conditions, I think I can help you interpret some Chinese sources, but please do not expect me to do considerable deep assessments for you. I am a new-comer to this domain, too.
