Hey, Zanhe. I'm working on an unfinished draft article in my userspace and I'd like your opinion on what it should be called. There is no generally agreed-upon English language name for the subject. I have been considering Autumn Hunt (the current name in the draft, translated from the Chinese name), Qiuxian (the Chinese name), Imperial hunt of the Qing dynasty (a descriptive name), Imperial hunt (Qing dynasty) (a variant of the previous name), just Imperial hunt (since the name is not currently being used), and Mulan hunt (after the name of the hunting site). What do you think is the best name? Feel free to suggest alternatives I haven't thought of. Thanks! --Difference engine (talk) 03:09, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation; I've deleted it as a hoax. A11 is virtually impossible to prove, unless it's something like "The Later Sui Empire was founded by Billy in his back yard yesterday".

Hi Zanhe,
you made this article a redirect, with the rationale that it was not a well defined concept.
Most of the statements there did not depend on definition, however. What can be done?

Thanks (once again) for the knowledgeable input on Gansu Flying Horse. I actually wanted to reference the horse for a section I'm drafting on urban folklore/ legends concerning Zhou Enlai (one legend was that Nixon saw the horse and put it in his pocket & Zhou got it back). I was surprised to find that there was no article on it and got sucked in.
But I wonder if we want to keep the info on the ban on showing it abroad without checking how long it lasted and whether it's still in force. I originally thought not to include this info because there is a headnote at List of Chinese cultural relics forbidden to be exhibited abroad which says that it's out of date, and the two references are indeed from 2003. What's your thought?
Also, is there an info box for works of art? There is on the French Wikipedia. Cheers. ch (talk) 22:03, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Lol, except it's the truth, those sources clearly state that the US only has a GDP per capita of around $40 thousand and not $55 thousand, you must be a typical American.

Also, when the word "Turkey" was changed to "Turkgay" on the Turkish Armed Forces article how come you didn't do anything about it? I find it very offensive that you only correct articles to do with America, I know you Americans can't really comprehend the World outside of US borders because of your poor education system but at least put up an effort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imthemanofdoom (talk • contribs) 17:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
but I don't even think we disagree generally. In that instance, you weren't wrong: you were just following along with a counterproductive misinterpretation of one of the rules. But from the reaction of other editors when I brought it to their attention—"hey, yeah, we should just change the guideline, thx, ok, 88"—it's obvious that they're just ratcheting up standards as a kludge to deal with the backlog. Didn't seem to be any support for just keeping the rule as it existed, so I'll go back around and source/delete some of the sections til it works. — LlywelynII 23:23, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Zanhe -- thanks again for all your help and attention. I apologise that I did a "hit and run" job at James Whitford Bashford, only adding some basic references without using them to make a respectable article. So I wonder if it wouldn't be better to leave the "stub" tag in order to keep it on the "stub" lists and (perhaps!) attract someone with more time or knowledge. The article is certainly short enough to deserve the stub tag and doesn't mention major parts of his life, his presidency of Ohio Wesleyan and the mission work in China.

Hi, can I interest you and page stalkers in this project? For starting missing articles from other wikis. All about addressing systematic bias. You could use it to list lots of missing Chinese articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/Chinese, ones which are priority for starting. If so, put your name down on the project talk page and add a tick by your name. Even if not, at some point we'll do some Chinese stub of the week (see further down project page what I've started) drives and will need your input on what is missing! I'm aware that other wikis the quality isn't always great for translation, but the idea really is to identify notable missing articles and aim to start a lot of them with improved sourcing/content.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:58, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, can you do me a favour and get rid of the nasty sourcing on this?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:03, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. I am trying my best to be unbiased in filling in the holes in East Asian and Southeast Asian history and prehistory. I am noticing that the development of early China, according to the latest research, was much more diverse than was previously thought. I can see how this would be an uncomfortable subject for some, but that doesn't mean it should be ignored or silenced. I was also going to post new evidence supporting the Aryan Invasion of India but am now hesitant because of all the "poltics" that seem to be involved. --Easy772 (talk) 04:36, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
I am not a linguist either, just a history and anthropology enthusiast. I'm also new to editing wiki. According to the reliable sourcing article both majority and minority views must be taken into account. I am not so much trying to show Shang language was surely Austro-Asiatic but rather educate readers and other enthusiasts to the different views of respected scholars. Also a scholarly consensus must be cited not that I doubt you. I think the rules are quite clear here. I am confident my sources meet the criteria for Wikipedia and will compromise on the tone of my edits, but I feel like these new findings definitely deserve to be on the Shang page and much more questionable material has been Overlooked articles by users criticizing my sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Easy772 (talk • contribs) 07:07, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Zanhe, I created an article for a bizarre case of a suicide of a mid-level academic official in China named Chen Gang. I got a GNG tag slapped onto the article shortly after I created it, and then I attempted to improve it through more reliable sources. In any case, I was wondering if you could give it a quick readthrough and give me some advice as to what else I need to do to establish GNG or just about the article in general. For what it's worth this article will unquestionably meet GNG requirements at the Chinese Wikipedia. I do plan to nominate it for DYK! Colipon+(Talk) 03:15, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Zanhe - where do you find these photos for the Chinese politicians? I was thinking of digging up some photos for the people at this list. Colipon+(Talk) 21:02, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Zanhe -- I have been following an important article that I think needs major reworking. I want to summon the help of many editors by nominating it for Good Article and offering a large number of specific suggestions, so many, in fact, that they would swamp the TalkPAge. Would it be the best thing to make a userspace sandbox and post the link on the TalkPage? Or is swamping the TalkPage not a problem?
I do not want to be or seem critical of the editor who has taken over the article, for there has been a great amount of energy put into it and the editor should be applauded and encouraged to keep up the good work but to follow Wikipedia guidelines.
Maybe I should create a userspace article with a neutral name for you and a few others to give advice on. Not sure the best way to proceed.
My larger purpose is to argue that Wikipedia has now reached the stage where there are many major articles that need basic work but that editors (such as me) are more tempted to create new articles than to work on old ones. So rather than simply jump in and get into disputes, I want to raise the issue and start a process (of course, the immediate purpose is to make the article acceptable).
Any thoughts? Thanks once again in any case. ch (talk) 16:58, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi. For a long period, the infoboxes for the different Chinese dynasties simply had (what I see as) the proper/official dynasty name at the top (e.g. "Jin", "Qin", "Great Yuan", "Great Qing", etc.). However, I have become involved in a dispute that began with a disagreement between myself and Cartakes over what should be placed at the top of the infobox. His viewpoint is that it should be "<dynastyname> dynasty" (e.g. "Jin dynasty", "Yuan dynasty", "Qing dynasty", etc.) whereas I supported the old format as infoboxes for countries generally have the official state name (in this case, dynasty name) at the top which I see as the dynasty name alone, without the word "dynasty". He and I conducted a number of consecutive reverting edits before I placed it on the talk page of WikiProject China for general discussion. Philg88 pinged you a while ago, but you may have missed it. I am asking for your opinion on this issue which can be found here. Thanks. Nick Mitchell 98 (talk) 10:49, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

I think I've corrected all issues. The hook is 199 characters, so that may be an issue, but I couldn't figure a way of cutting it down any smaller. Would appreciate input. Thanks again.

Hi Zanhe, i appreciated your reply. This topic is debated all the time. I agree Hong Kong SAR is not a sovereign state, in fact it is clearly stated in on the Hong Kong Basic Law Article 1- "The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China". I agree this should be kept consistent. I just wanted to point out that on the ACI (Airport Council International)page [1] where the statistics are from, the list is written like this-
The 2 letter abbreviation after the city refers to the country it is in. Notice in Beijing it is CN and in Hong Kong it is HK. If Hong Kong uses China's flag than the list should be written as "HONG KONG, CN (HKG)". In order to make sure the information given to the reader is correct, we should keep what is stated on the source (ACI), unless there is another reliable source that puts CN as the country Hong Kong is in. In that case it will be appropriate to use the Flag of the PRC. Please let me know what you think! -Carsonhk (talk) 12:21, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, you seem like a person that has some insight into Chinese history. I have seen this article Cho La incident and I find it very biased and it seems unauthentic. The sources are largely Indian, and I could not find any neutral sources for this article. The casualty count and results also seems very odd. Do you have any insight into this matter?

Hi Zanhe! I'm Kevin, one of the organizers of the English Wikipedia Asian Month. Thanks for participating, and awesome work so far. I've reviewed your submitted articles and accepted all but one of them: Wang Huayong is too short, as it currently sits at less than 150 words. I know it's short notice, but if you wish to expand the article by December to bring to to the 300 word count, you can do so (and simply remove the "(N)" next to the entry to re-submit).

Hello Zanhe. I recently created a template called Template:Provincial leaders of the Chinese Soviet Republic. It is an english translation from the zh:Template:中华苏维埃共和国省级行政长官 on the Chinese wikipedia. There are a lot of red links in the original and some of the people who do have articles in the Chinese wikipedia do not have one in the English wikipedia. Because of this, the English version will be a brief summary of the original. This template will be a great help to WikiProject China. Zee money (talk) 01:46, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm more than happy to nominate Zanhe. What an excellent editor she is, with over 43K edits and an incredible 84% to mainspace!

Incredibly calm and sensible editor with lots of clue for almost everything. I've never seen her in any sort of conflicts with fellow editors.
