JalenFolf is currently feeling discouraged about Wikipedia and is taking an off-and-on wikibreak due to loss of motivation. Your help in cheering this user up would be appreciated. They will return when their wikistress has dissipated and their confidence in the wikicommunity has been restored.

Older warnings and/or other comments on this page have been removed, but are still viewable in the page history.

If you cannot leave a message on this Talk page as a result of the protection, please ping me on your own Talk page using ((reply to|JalenFolf)) with your message and I will reply there if needed. I do not watch others' User talk pages.

Thank you to everyone who recommended I try out the New Page Reviewer right, however, I have opted not to make it permanent nor do I intend on returning to it for as long as this message is up. New page reviewing doesn't seem to make sense to me given all I've ever used it for (mostly) was page reviewing redirects following bad article attempts. Even that part of Wikipedia has given me a small amount of stress, and I've had to back away from disputes to avoid making that stress worse.

In short, it doesn't make sense to me to keep a user right if I know I'm not going to use it as frequently, especially given I might leave Wikipedia within the next few years. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I was coming here to leave a message to you regarding NPP, and saw this. Too bad, we could use quality folks over there, but I definitely understand about the stress. Thanks for all you do. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:21, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the interracial marriage article because the text I struck out was not an example of interracial marriage.

Mongols and Chinese are both the same Asiatic Mongoloid raice, that's interethnic marriage. Someone mistakenly wrote that the law made Hui intermarry with Han when that's not true.

I added a reliable source (Kenneth M. Swope book) saying that Kipchaks and Hui were excluded from the marriage law, with the Ming code explicitly saying that's because of their different racial features like blonde hair.

The Ming law is actually not promoting interracial marriage but only inter-ethnic marriage within one race.

If you're not happy about striking out, I can fix the text without hiding it.Dasfanda (talk) 19:51, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Diff - Happy to make updates if you can specify what's out of date. Rcsprinter123 (cackle) 18:58, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only the South Route. Everything else is fine. Jalen Folf (talk) 19:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Made an updated version with South now extending to Liverpool, which I think is the only change? Rcsprinter123 (banter) 17:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
