Re: Beijing Subway

Thanks for your message. 1st, I did not remove Daxing Line from {{commonscat|Daxing Line, Beijing Subway}}. I just removed {{commonscat|Daxing Line, Beijing Subway}} from Beijing Subway. 2nd, "Category:Daxing Line, Beijing Subway" does not exist in Wikimedia Commons. Why did you include such a non-existing commons category in this article? 3rd, even if it exists, it should be included in Daxing Line, Beijing Subway, not in Beijing Subway. Thanks for your contributions. --Neo-Jay (talk) 23:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Genghis Khan has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. While edit summaries don't have to include every single detail, non-minor changes in addition to the main point of the edit should be mentioned. Thank you.

Railways (and Expressways) of Mainland China

Feel free to begin a discussion at WT:NC-ZH on railways (and expressways, since they generally follow the same convention, too). I only reverted your move based on what the current policy is; I am not strongly opposed to your proposal. --HXL's Roundtable and Record 21:28, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi there ContinentalAve, I just wanted to say thanks for signing my guestbook and I'm glad you got that policy changed. The new way of titling the railway articles are much more clearer to the readers. Hopefully we can get the world's largest national rail system up to top standards on Wikipedia.  –Nav  ^{talk to me or sign my guestbook} 06:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Chinese for High-Speed Railways

Please do not ever use the form "西安至成都高速铁路" in the Chinese translation of the full English name of an HSR. I would, in fact, rather that each HSR article has only the abbreviated forms in Chinese (i.e. for Xi'an–Chengdu 西成). Thanks –HXL's Roundtable and Record 22:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

When the high-speed railway between Xian and Chengdu was first proposed, no shorthand name had been given and the Chinese press called it 西安至成都高速铁路 to be precise, see [1] and hence the usage in the Wikipedia article. There was no indication as to how this HSR would be named -- i.e. would Chengdu be referred to as "Rong" as its shorthand name? I used the description used in the Chinese press coverage expecting a shorthand name to be developed, and am fine with your change. But I would note that until such a shorthand name is developed, there is nothing wrong with using the longer name, when the alternative is to use no Chinese name or to guess.

Your contributed article, Beijing (name)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Beijing (name). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Beijing#Etymology_and_names. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Beijing#Etymology_and_names - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 19:54, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok - sorry about that - I've returned it to its original title. Best wishes. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 20:47, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Hainan

Here is how Britannica describes this incident: "Hainan reverted to Chinese Nationalist control in 1945 and was one of the last places to be taken by the communists." They don't seem to worry that readers won't know who the Nationalists are. If you look at secondary sources -- histories, journalistic accounts and so forth -- the don't use "ROC" and "PRC" to refer to separate entities that struggle with each other. Any reader who isn't hip to Wiki-jargon will assume that the Republic of China is, you know, the government of China. The great huha (talk) 12:07, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia guidelines recommend using the WP:COMMONNAME, following The Chicago Manual of Style, and using a name that the corresponds the the relevant article title. All three of these considerations would suggest using "Taiwan" rather than ROC, as I explain on the article's talk page. If you say the communists took Hainan from the Nationalists in the Civil War, the reader can figure out that the Nationalists were a faction of Chinese who were fighting the communists at this time. Try googling "Republic of China" -wikipedia. Eight of the top ten results refer the mainland Chinese government. In other words, the vast majority of readers have no idea that this phrase refers to Taiwan or to the Nationalists.

I do not follow your point about the 1974 incident. The article currently says that the "PRC" took the islands from "South Vietnam." I styled it this way on May 19 and no one has changed it since. The great huha (talk) 09:24, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Rail track length of CHINA

Hi ContinentalAve,

I have a question regarding your Network length table, because CIA World Factbook has much different numbers: Is the length of all railway lines or the length of all tracks counted? Means track length, that double-track railway would be counted double?

Cheers, Sascha GPD (talk) 11:17, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

You're right Sascha, there is a big discrepancy between China's National Statistics Bureau and the CIA Factbook and both report total rail route length (not track length such that a double-tracked route of 50 km is counted as 50 km, not 100 km). The CIA Factbook figure of 191,270 km for 2014 is based on "the total length of the railway network and of its component parts."[2] The Statistics Bureau's figure of 121,000 km [3] includes only rail route in operation for passenger and/or commercial transportation, and measures the actual route distance between the midpoints of railway stations. Any double-tracked route or route with a return track of shorter distance is counted using the length of the original route. Excluded from the Statistics Bureau figure are the lengths of return tracks, other tracks within stations, maintenance and service tracks (such as those used to turn trains around), tracks of fork lines, special purpose lines and non-revenue connecting lines.[4] Because the Statistics Bureau provides provincial breakdowns of railway length[5] and cross-year comparisons, its figures are deemed more useful to readers and included in this article.

High-speed rail in China

Hi ContinentalAve, thanks for all the great work you've done for High-speed rail in China! I just saw that User:Shwangtianyuan had split most of the detailed track information to the separate List of high-speed railway lines in China last year. However, it seems that you recently re-added most of the info back into the main article, and now we have two lists of duplicate information, and slightly out of sync of each other. I feel that the main article is getting way too long and unwieldy, and it'd be good to keep the detailed info to the list, what are your thoughts? Best regards, -Zanhe (talk) 17:25, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Zanhe thank you for reaching out. See my explanation in the talk section of High-speed rail in China [6] User:Shwangtianyuan left only a list of 16 HSR passageways in the main HSR article, which in my opinion, severely under-informs the reader. In the list article, Shwangtianyuan listed the constituent lines for each of the passageways but made no attempt to integrate the detailed HSR tables into the list or present basic information about the passageway such as whether the constituent lines are in operation. Readers have very limited ability to appreciate what the network entails and how it has grown by looking at the list of 16 passageway names in the main article and a table of 16 passageways in the list article. In fact the reader does not even see the links to the main HSR lines such as Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Guangzhou in the main article. What is needed in the list article, in my opinion, is the breakdown of each passageway into its constituent lines with details for each line -- in effect, absorbing the 4+4 grid table, the other regional HSR lines table, the upgraded conventional lines table, and possibly the intercity lines table into 16 separate passageway tables. When there is more supporting information for the passageways in the list, the main article can have a summary table of the passageways including details such as how long, how fast, whether fully completed, etc. It is a big task and one that might not be possible to complete right now as there isn't enough information about the passageways. Until then, the 4+4 grid tables can continue to serve their function informing readers of the extent of the national network. Since I set the 4+4 grid tables to be hidden, they took up eight lines, which does not take too much space. The HSR network is the centerpiece of HSR in China; readership spikes whenever a new line opens as readers come to check on the updated tables (another row is made green). After the tables were moved to the list article and demoted under the passageways and dubbed "defunct", they were no longer updated. To the extent the article is deemed too long, there are other sections that can be reduced or moved -- notably, the history section. The HSR service section also needs to be revamped. ContinentalAve (talk) 18:52, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the detailed response. I respect your opinion as the main contributor to the article. My main concern is the duplication of the highly complex info in two articles, which will become a mess in the long run if not maintained properly (they're already somewhat out of sync just a year later). As you said, it's a big task just to keep one set of tables updated and referenced. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 20:48, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
