Ways to improve China White PaperHello, CWH, Thanks for creating China White Paper! I edit here too, under the username Boleyn and it's nice to meet you :-) I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer. Boleyn (talk) 17:30, 30 June 2019 (UTC) Backlog BanzaiIn the month of September, Wikiproject Military history is running a project-wide edit-a-thon, Backlog Banzai. There are heaps of different areas you can work on, for which you claim points, and at the end of the month all sorts of whiz-bang awards will be handed out. Every player wins a prize! There is even a bit of friendly competition built in for those that like that sort of thing. Sign up now at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/September 2019 Backlog Banzai to take part. For the coordinators, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:18, 22 August 2019 (UTC) Hi CWH, thanks for another much needed article for a well known scholar. I've nominated it for DYK, please see nomination page. Always enjoy reading your articles! -Zanhe (talk) 04:42, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
DYK nomination of Susan L. Mann
Let's avoid an edit warI think its fair to discuss your radical changes before you make them I might actually have some points to make. Let's not get into an edit war regarding fully sourced scholarly material that I added. The rule on Wikipedia is not to remove fully sourced material even if you should disagree with the importance of missionary activities in Chinese history. If you have alternative sources aren't alternative interpretations based on solid scholarship, please add them. Rjensen (talk) 05:37, 7 October 2019 (UTC) DYK for Susan L. MannOn 10 October 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Susan L. Mann, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that American historian Susan L. Mann won the Fairbank Prize for exploring the roles of elite women and same-sex social relationships in Chinese history? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Susan L. Mann. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Susan L. Mann), 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.

Niv Horesh (help requested)Hello, excuse me for bothering you, but around over half a year ago this paper was freely available online, but currently I am not able to access this academic paper and need it for the expansion and creation of several articles on Wikipedia.

Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:19, 29 February 2020 (UTC) for the coord team Article on War between Chiang Kai-shek and Li ZongrenHello, CWH. I have created an article on the Chiang-Gui War, which covers of the 1st 3 months of the 8 month long 1st phase of the Central Plains War. It is significant enough to have articles in the Chinese, Korean and Japanese wikipedias. Please talk to Winertai, the creator of the original articles in Chinese. Many places in China experienced multiple battles throughout the 1st half of the 20th century, which makes the situation very confusing.Jackson767 (talk) 04:11, 31 March 2020 (UTC) request for re-assessment of articles on Chinese generalsHello, CWH. Can you do a re-assessment of the articles Zhao Chengshou, Shangguan Yunxiang and Li Yannian (general)? They are currently marked as stubs. I expanded Zhao and Shangguan and Li was expanded in 2009 by another user. If Zhao and Shangguan are de-stubbed, I like to have it added to Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge. Jackson767 (talk) 02:45, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
1912 incidentHey- I saw you are a historian who is interested in China, so I thought I might bring up something with you- today I read that Chiang Kai-shek may have shot somebody in 1912 (or at least taken the blame?). Anyway, Wikipedia's coverage of the incident is pitiful, and I would like to find someone who has a historian background to check on this incident if you are interested or know someone who might be interested.

An interview with members of the Random Page Patrol. Please stop removing content directly related to the articleYou have been removing content on Economy of the Song dynasty directly related to the relevant material without proper explanation and facetious reasoning. For example here [2] you deleted a cited quotation directly related to the section about joint trade operation with the reason "remove quote that is hard to understand and whose reference is unlcear", yet in your next edit here [3] you deleted an image along with a cited quote based on the reason "remove interesting quote not related to this section". I am not sure what is hard to understand about either the quote or why you deleted a relevant image on the production of goods, which the section and article relate to in their content. You are either facetious or/and engaged in biased editing. If you can't even understand the quote then you have no business editing the article. Qiushufang (talk) 20:59, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Pre-science and pseudoscienceThanks for your calm and clear comments on the pseudoscience issue at the Feng Shui talk page. I was wondering whether you agree with comments by others afterwards that suggest that Astrology is a different matter and shouldn’t be considered in the same way. To my mind, the extraordinarily varied and enduring significance of Astrology in so many pre-scientific cultures (not just China of course), makes the pseudoscience definition even more inappropriate.
