Hello. I saw an abundancy of Chinese names had been speard out in the articles after your editing. Tsing Yi is a very good example. The way you add the Chinese names in paratheses, however, is sometimes tedious to readers. I suggest you should:

• Use an English tranliteration or pinyin instead of a Chinese name:

e.g. Chinese name was changed to 嶺南學堂 ===> Chinese name was changed to Lingnan Xuetang (嶺南學堂)

• Hide up X's Chinese name if this is not the MAIN ARTICLE of X.

Though Chinese names are sometimes necessary to show previous phrases are sheer translation.

e.g. :The motto of Sun Yat-sen University is "Study extensively; Enquire accurately; Reflect carefully; Discriminate clearly; Practise earnestly" (博學、審問、慎思、明辨、篤行).

I hope this brief guideline would help you in your further editing. :-D -- Jerry Crimson Mann 5 July 2005 13:37 (UTC)

Certainly you can. Another way to make the article to look neater, though, is to add: < ! - - - - XXXX - - - - -> -- Jerry Crimson Mann 5 July 2005 14:16 (UTC)

When others are dealing with unwikified articles, they still can see those Chinese names in the editing page. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 5 July 2005 14:16 (UTC)

Hi! Seen you have used lit. like this in several times:

CHINESENAME, lit. CHINESELIT.

lit. is an abbreviation, and the way you use it in declarative sentences is undesirable. Here're two ways I sugget you follow:

• CHINESENAME (lit. CHINESELIT).
• CHINESENAME, which literally means CHINESELIT.

Find me if you have a question or disagreement. :-) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 9 July 2005 16:00 (UTC)

Henry Li -

I appreciate the addition of my Great Gt Gt Gt grandfathers names to his son Sir Henry Pottinger, but what you have done is incorrect. His name is Henry Pottinger - without any additional names. If you have information to the contrary I am always willing to discuss it.

I have been researching my family for over 30 years and evidence such as you are suggesting has never come to light.

Hi, I saw your edit in Hong Kong Government Cantonese Romanisation.

As far as I can remember, when pronounced in English (e.g., in MTR station announcements), they are aspirated and released—I certainly remember they being pronounced released (not unreleased as in real Cantonese). But since I am no longer living in Hong Kong, I cannot easily double-check this part. (Or perhaps I can tune in to RTHK on the 'net and listen to the news for a few hours to verify.)

I wonder if you really mean that right now they are pronounced unreleased when pronounced in English, or you just changed it by accident.—Gniw (Wing) 04:33, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Replied

Hi. I think if you are referring to the 粵音韻彙, you are thinking about the real Cantonese sounds. (In real Cantonese, the final stops are unaspirated and unreleased.) However, in English (when spoken by an English person, not a Chinese person), I doubt very much that they are unaspirated. Please remember that when speaking in English the words are not pronounced like Cantonese, and I am referring to the standard English, non-Cantonese pronunciation.

I have underestimated the time needed for the RTHK test. I think if I try to verify this myself I will have to listen to RTHK Radio 3 for several days or maybe even a few weeks.

I think a quicker way to verify this is for someone in Hong Kong (perhaps you can do it) to listen to the MTR station annouoncements carefully when the train goes to such stations as Mong Kok, Lai Chi Kok, Lok Fu, Ngau Tau Kok, or Shek Kip Mei; basically, if you can hear “k” and “p” without thinking and you haven't learnt French (or some other non-English foreign language), then it is very likely that they are actually pronounced aspirated.

(Note: Thanks for the pointer, but I already know what aspiration is :-)—Gniw (Wing) 06:52, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I have not tested the final stop by checking whether it gives my hand a strong flow of air because

1. it is unnecessary, as if it is aspirated you will be able to hear the difference without the test;
2. it is irrelevant, as it would only test whether in my accent whether the final stop is aspirated or not.

I still stand by my statement that, as far as I can remember, what I actually heard had aspirated final stops. This has nothing to do with how I (or you) speak it, unless either of us claim to be a native English speaker, and then claim that we are speaking these words in the official accent in MTR/RTHK/the government etc.

However, I accept the point pointed by the articles you mention, that in some dialects these stops may be unaspirated, unreleased, and/or glottalized. I will change the paragraph in question.

I don't know why I am editing these articles. I should be out of here. Bye.—Gniw (Wing) 15:31, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is there reason why you alter the look of Geographic references pages? The reason why I'm asking is that you got rid of the <sup id="#">#</sup> tags which were used by many Wikipedia articles. For instance, if you go to the Boston article and go down to the "Demographics" section and click on the "GR2" next to the word census, then you will just go to Geographic references page but that is it. Prior to your change, the browser would would have stop at 2 The United States Census Bureau's 2000 census data. Much of the geographic and demographic information for the U.S. states.... --J.

Re: [2]

I'm not familiar with the place, so I was just making a guess as to what you meant. The sentence is still not clear and grammatical; do you mean:

• it starts at the top of the hill, or
• it starts halfway down the side of a hill (divide the hill into top and bottom portions), or
• it starts halfway across the hill (divide the hill into left and right portions), or

"Middle of the hill", to me, sounds as if the road is underground and begins in the ground, which I don't think you mean. Let me know what you think. enochlau (talk) 15:36, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to point out that Ping Shek Est and Shun Lee Est are belonged to Kwun Tong District, Ngau Tau Kok is the general name of these places in there. Also, the place where Shun Lee Estate located is also namely Jordon Valley, but not Ngau Chi Wan. Ngau Chi Wan should be referred to the place such as Choi Wan and Ngau Chi Wan Village also Ngau Chi Wan is in Wong Tai Sin District.

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Modotcom (talk • contribs) 9:37, 21 April 2006

Thanks very much for your explaination. Some points of view of mine might contradict with yours. I guess the definition of district boundary not just only in dividing the place for ease the election but also to eliminate the arguments of the naming of the place. I am agree with you that sometimes some boundaries are little bit nonsense, but the division methods that the government used can minimize the arguments as well as make the administration much easiler. Furthermore, the history is the good reference to determine the names of the places but it is not the only way to do so. For example, the MTR renamed part of the places, but it doesn't mean that the rename by the MTR company is wrong. Similar situation in district boundaries given by the government.

Finally, sorry for any inconvenient caused and your great efforts in Wikipedia should be appreciated. Please keep it up. =)

I have not found a single reference online that refers to Brook Bernacchi as Brook Antony Bernacchi. While I do not doubt that this is his real middle name, I think it is more important to have the main article under the name for which he became known. This is quite common as you can see here, for example, in the article on George W. Bush. What do you think? My suggestion is to call the article Brook Bernacchi but keep his middle name in the article, similar to the article on President Bush. --Ghormax 20:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brook Bernacchi's real name is Brook Antony Bernacchi but in the press he became known without the middle-name. This is the same as George W. Bush, whose name is George Walker Bush, or even people like John Wayne, whose real name was Marion Mitchell Morrison. I just think his main entry should be under the name for which he became known, but the article can also mention his middle-name. I suggest moving the article back to Brook Bernacchi but leaving the text unchanged. What do you think? --Ghormax 08:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry... it looks like I clobbered some of the changes you made while I was converting everything into table format here. I noticed you removed 蚊 and converted the pronunciation to IPA. Concerning the former, it is accepted that 蚊 is indeed derived from the first syllable of money. It's listed at this site plus I remember seeing it in another source I can't recall at the moment. Concerning the latter, I don't have a strong preference what type of transcription is used for the pronunciation though most pages on Wikipedia appear to transcribe Cantonese in either Jyutping or Yale anyway (plus it seems most people interested in Cantonese don't read IPA as well as the other romanization schemes). —Umofomia 07:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replied User talk:Umofomia#Standard Cantonese. — HenryLi (Talk) 15:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I couldn't find the source on 蚊 either so we can leave it out. The list already has several examples anyway. I agree with you on the IPA; the only concern is that especially for the loanwords section, it's hard to see how the Cantonese pronunciation maps to the word being exported or imported. To make this clearer, IPA should be used for the exported/imported language as well. —Umofomia 06:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My two cents. I'd say IPA and Yale would be the most useful on the English-language version of Wikipedia. Jyutping could be preferable since it's the most easy to input. A modified version of IPA is used by scholars like Richard Ho and his colleagues at CUHK for teaching. The schemes used by Chinese dictionaries published in Hong Kong greatly vary, even if they claim they're using more or less the same scheme. — Instantnood 13:03, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

算了吧，我用中文打吧，元朗原本是寫左圓塱，因為在元朗舊墟望過去，你會見到一座座山以半圓圍繞著一塊開朗的平地，而這塊平地包括天水圍、十八鄉、大棠等總面積達144平方公里的地方。所以才會叫作圓塱，之後就簡化作元朗這個名字。(這段資料可以在[4]找到)--AP71 15:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

元朗 often refers to Yuen Long Town (元朗市 or 元朗墟). The broader area that you're referring to, which includes places like Shap Pat Heung, is often known in modern times as Yuen Long Plain (元朗平原). The modern Yuen Long District covers Ha Tsuen, Kam Tin, Pat Heung, Ngau Tam Mei, Shek Kong, San Tin, Lau Fau Shan, Ngau Hom Shek, etc. — Instantnood 16:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To Instantnood,| In nowadays, most Hong Kong people have mix Yuen Long Town or Yuen Long up--AP71 17:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned, 元朗 often refers to 元朗市. When people says 元朗 they're probably referring to 元朗市, which Long Ping Estate, Yuen Long Industrial Estate, Tung Tau Industrial Area, etc., aren't part of. Less often they may mean the entire Yuen Long District (元朗區). — Instantnood 19:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I see you've done some work on the article Sheng Kung Hui and I had a question (or two). First of all, while I was researching for Province 8 of ECUSA, I found that in Taiwan, the Episcopal diocese there is also known as Taiwan Sheng Kung Hui. Would it therefore make sense to move the current SKH article to Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui? There could then be a brief page at SKH which could provide a translation and point to HKSKH and TSKH.

Speaking of translation, what is the best translation of Sheng Kung Hui? I've seen "Anglican Church" and "Episcopal Church", but I really don't know what is accurate. Also, could you confirm that Taiwan Sheng Kung Hui = 臺灣聖公會. Many thanks. --Wine Guy Talk 01:19, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that you have created some articles, and are also removing some of the {prod} tags which I placed. For your information, a proposer is not obliged to notify the creator of an article's deletion, and lack of notification is not a valid reason for contesting a prod.

You may be aware that housing estates are not generally regarded as notable in wikipedia as failing WP:N, and they are easily deleted for the reason that there are usually few "multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works" - in particular, news or research items available (other than government sources). I feel the vast majority of stubs you created will eventually be deleted because there will never be sufficient material of real encyclopaedic interest to fill an article.

Kindly take a look at the changes I have made to List of public housing estates in Hong Kong and List of Home Ownership Scheme Courts in Hong Kong. I have incorporated much of the information which you have in the stubs you are interested in, and I hope this will be more useful to people who look up here. I have also moved the links to many of the photographs of public housing estate to a gallery on the main article, and hope you will not continue to oppose deletion of the pages of housing estates nominated.

I think that you should delete the category that you just created because there are only two lighthouses in Bermuda. It's not much of a category. I am changing the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse to be under Category:Lighthouses again. SeanMD80^{talk | contribs} 18:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch that. Never mind. SeanMD80^{talk | contribs} 18:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you mind moving the category to Category:Lighthouses in China instead of Category:Lighthouses by country? Hong Kong is just one part of China but not a country. Shrimp wong 03:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Refer to this edit: [8]. Did your AWB have a bug that made it unable to identify currently existent WPHK or WikiProjectHongKong templates? --Deryck C. 11:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow I wished I were not an HKBN user. HKBN rotates its IP and therefore many a time I am blocked due to collateral damage even when I've logged in. I need to use proxies to solve this problem. As a result, I cannot use AWB. --Deryck C. 13:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW what software and what base map did you use to draw the Tsing Yi map? --Deryck C. 13:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How often? Irregular. Sometimes I can hold an IP for a month. Sometimes I get rotated twice a day. The collateral damages is that, since there are so many people using the same computer, many a vandal work behind them, many HKBN IPs are blocked as open proxies or zombies. --Deryck C. 13:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You mean the PDF map from the District Council website? --Deryck C. 13:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling. --Deryck C. 14:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article cash (unit) should move to Chinese wen. Are you ok with that? Benjwong 22:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on International Christian School, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because International Christian School seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting International Christian School, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 20:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry for the misunderstanding, but I did not nominate this article for speedy deletion nor did I delete it. My bot only notifies article creator's of speedy deletion nominations. Since it is already deleted there isn't anything I can do unfourtunately. If such a thing happens again, try to place the hangon template on the article in question as soon as possible to avoid an admin deleting it. --Android Mouse 22:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article James Dyer Ball, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.129.6.177 15:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:AsiaWorld-Expo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on 2the Max, by Kww (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

I can't undelete the article because I didn't delete it. I simply added a tag because the article didn't provide any reason to believe that 2theMax is notable. An admin (that does have the power to delete articles) looked over a list of tagged articles, and agreed with me. There were no references to newspaper articles about it, or any other indication that any reliable source of information had ever noticed them. Find those articles, reference them, add them to the article, and then submit it. Kww 11:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do follow process quite strictly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedy_deletion documents it. Basically, you have to meet minimum article standards for your article to be kept. I didn't think yours did, so I tagged it with "db-bio", because not only had you not demonstrated notability, you hadn't even provided a single reason to guess that it might be notable. An administrator agreed. Nothing prevents you from recreating the article after you have addressed the problem. Kww 15:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just posted a response to HenryLi on the administrator's page that deleted this article User:Ginkgo100 advising him what he needs to do and that the page will probably be tagged for deletion when it is undeleted.Balloonman 16:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why you are raising such a fuss. Can't you find a single reference to these people anywhere? If you can't, then they aren't notable. If you can, it would be easier and faster to just recreate the article and add the reference.Kww 17:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re-creating 2the Max, while it is being diecussed on Deletion review, a discussion in which you participated, is IMO a very poor idea. Please don't do such a thing in future. DES ^(talk) 04:49, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My error, i didn't see that the deleting admin had undeleted. My apologies. DES ^(talk) 04:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Henry, I reviewed your article. I reviewed it again after you got it recreated, I reviewed again after you have edited it. Now, it only marginally good enough to keep. If you had put half the effort into correcting the article that you have into whining about its deletion, it might be a good article. Right now, it isn't. Stop accusing me of doing bad things, and just fix your article until it is worthy of inclusion. Next time you create an article, worry about its quality before you create it, and you won't have these difficulties.Kww 01:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replied. User talk:Kww#Re:Let me make this perfectly clear. — HenryLi (Talk) 05:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try one more time. There is nothing wrong with speedy deletion. Speedy deletion is essential. I mark articles for it properly. I mark them often. Of course I get in disputes, because people that write bad articles don't like to admit that they have written bad articles. Kww 10:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good day. This is unrelated to wikipedia. I was looking for some quote (?) in English, but I couldn't find it with google.

If you know it's not the same thing, clearly you do know enough to begin a short article (and I think you're able to search in Google in the Chinese language to find sources). Removing it (and not making a discussion posting noting that an article needs to be made) wasn't the right thing to do. Lack of time isn't a good answer either, as it would probably take about 15 minutes to make a basic article. Badagnani (talk) 04:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Telecommunications industry in Hong Kong, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Article seems to consists largely or unverified original research and relies on a single source for reference that is somewhat difficult to fact check. Article also fails WP:NPOV and little effort has been made to rectify this.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. magnius (talk) 15:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

you changed the changes I made to article "B", which is wrong. i don't know if you are an elitist who doesn't like slang in wikipedia or mistakenly thought the entry was racist because of the words ethnic roots. there is a note on the chat section of the page by someone saying "my friends always ask me what this means", so people have heard this slang and are using wikipedia to find a definition, which they won't find if you remove it, so please leave it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thatguyzilla (talk • contribs) 18:31, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article Robinson Road, Michigan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

completely unreferenced, doesn't assert notability beyond it's history as a purely local road

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, long ago you moved Convention of Chuanbi from the pinyin spelling ("Chuanbi") to the "historical term". The British originally spelt 穿鼻 as "Chuenpee", but I moved it back to the pinyin because I thought it was pronounced like that at the time, but now I have doubts. Do you know if the Cantonese and Mandarin accent pronounces the word 穿鼻 in the same way or is one closer to the British spelling than the other? I've read that much of the early romanisation was based on the Cantonese dialect and I'm wondering if this is the case here. Spellcast (talk) 07:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
