China fine arts
Great work! | |
Keep up the great work on the Chinese fine art article - I'm seeing really thoughtful selection of images and some text with citations. Good job! Keep up the great work! CaroleHenson (talk) 20:04, 29 August 2012 (UTC) |
Thank you very much Carole, I felt like idiot that I made the wrong selection and had to make you work through them again. But I'm picking up slowly. :D -- RexRowan Talk 20:07, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, you are!--CaroleHenson (talk) 20:08, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
What was that?
What was all that about me being a barrister on Swifty's talk page?!
- I thought his guy could be your Gruffalo :D -- RexRowan Talk 09:52, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
Dumplings
I made dumplings with my mum yesterday and they came out great. The dough recipe we used is: 2 cups of flour 1 egg a cup of lukewarm water (use as necessary, slowly adding, don't expect to add all of it, usually about half)
We made them as 'ruskie pierogi', I think it's translated as Rutherniann pierogi. It's a stuffing we made with mash potato, fried onions (til they're brown) and curd cheese (best to get from a Polish/Eastern food shop).
Tell me if you want any more info, Adam Mugliston Talk 14:33, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- Wow, nice! I normally use cold water. Oh, maybe you can write this in the dumpling section on Wiki? -- RexRowan Talk 14:37, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- I found a page: Pierogi. :D -- RexRowan Talk 14:38, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- I make Jiaozi, Baozi. When I win the lotto, I will invite you and Worm to my own restaurant to eat for free! :D -- RexRowan Talk 14:41, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oh thank you. If Royal Mail ever gets faster, I'll post you some of our dumplings. Adam Mugliston Talk 14:46, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
About the hamster: Haven't got it yet, we're delaying buying it for now with all these exams I have this year. Adam Mugliston Talk 14:47, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
Finding sources...
Hi, in our workpage can you give me about 15 minutes? I'd like to sort out where we have legitimate sources of info. I'm going to do a little cleanup. In the meantime - do you mind finding the link for the big block of info you cut and pasted in? If it's a reliable source, it looks like it will be good information!--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:35, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- I know the link, it also has some pictures but I can not post it here as Wiki has listed it as a bad link. What should I do? -- RexRowan Talk 18:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- If wiki says it's a bad link - then it's not going to be something we can source. You were on the right track, though! I bet however you searched to find that - you can find something else that will be a reliable, usable source.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- Going to web pages is going to generate a lot of things that we cannot use - but books are likely to provide better results. How about if you search http://books.google.co.uk/ on: Chinese moon paintings? And, give me the title and ISBN of books that seem to have good content in them for our purposes?--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, in the mean time, look through some of these: 1. [1] 2. [2] 3.[3] 4.[4] 5.[5] -- RexRowan Talk 18:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- Nope: Shopping site - not a reliable source
- Nope: Article about fiction - not night paintings
- Yes: Would be a source for:One Hundred Aspects of the Moon
- Maybe: The page doesn't talk about "night paintings". Is there anything on this site that describes night paintings?
- Nope: It looks like a shopping site - not a reliable source. There will be tons of information in books about this subject. Why not use something that will be quite reliable?
- Ok, in the mean time, look through some of these: 1. [1] 2. [2] 3.[3] 4.[4] 5.[5] -- RexRowan Talk 18:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
You're getting on the right track! We just need to get reliable sources--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:12, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

- Rowan, I thought you would've known better than that. Adam Mugliston Talk 21:45, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, my fingers have Tourettes Syndrome, the electrical firings involuntarily curse through the peripheral nervous system as a reflex. -- RexRowan Talk 13:28, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- I couldn't quickly find a source - but I know that Rex has been looking into this for the article we're working on together Night in paintings (Eastern art).
- I wonder if the best solution is to add a section "Witches" in the Chinese mythology article. (Bonnefoy, Yves (compiled) and Wendy Doniger (translator). (1993). Asian Mythologies. University of Chicago Press. ISBN 0-226-06456-5. could be one source).
- I'm going to propose a merge to Chinese mythology - once a reliable source is identified. How does that sound?--CaroleHenson (talk) 23:32, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
AWB
Hi Rex, There's this really cool function, called AWB (Automated Wiki Browser), that allows approved people to run automated edits against a group of articles. I know how it is to be starting out and learning the ropes, so I thought I'd run the automated editor which does 2 things: 1) fixes what it can (punctuation, ordering of things, spelling, etc.) and 2) points out where there are some items to be worked on to meet Wikipedia article guidelines.
I just started on a few articles, but I made what changes I could for you - and removed tags where I could for the initial set of articles.
There were a few articles, though, were there was a direct copy and paste of material from a website, which is a copyright violation and can result in the article being deleted if it's not fixed. You may want to read: WP:Copyright violations and WP:Close paraphrasing for a bit of guidance about how to rewrite sourced material so that it's not a copyright issue.
Later on I'll go through a couple more articles - and if you have any questions about why I did something the way I did - let me know. I'm never sure how much to provide the guideline links, because that in and of itself can be overwhelming.
Oh, and there's two merge recommendations.
I am happy to help you sort this out - it's probably a lot to take in. Good news, too, the Chinese fine art article is looking really good! Today I made some progress on the Night in paintings, so that's coming along, too.--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:57, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- I personally don't suggest AWB. I was never able to get on with it and only found it a teeny bit faster than doing manually and a lot harder. After I switched to Mac, I stopped using it because I had trouble installing it. I also couldn't install Huggle. Adam Mugliston Talk 07:58, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, it took me a bit to get the settings so that it would work right - but it's been marvelous now that I get what I need to do. It works very well for me - and although it misses things - it catches a lot of things that I otherwise miss. Any time I'm doing major editing now, I send it through AWB to do a final clean-up.--CaroleHenson (talk) 08:46, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- I've heard a lot of praise for AWB, but when I had it I had no idea how to use it and I never could make it do anything by itself. Adam Mugliston Talk 08:49, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Chinese lanterns for you!
The Chinese lantern award | |
Went through the article on Chinese fine art. Awesome! Keep up the great work, WikiLoves! Netha (talk) 11:34, 31 August 2012 (UTC) |
- Wow, thank you so much! You are very kind and generous! I am glad you liked it. I also wrote Night in paintings (Eastern art), it would be great if you can add a few Indian night paintings if you can find any, thanks a million! :D -- RexRowan Talk 11:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Happy to meet you

Night in paintings (Eastern art) - finding sources
It looks like it's difficult to find sources for this article. I'm finding plenty - so I'll just keep moving ahead. It would be good if you could look over the sections as I finish them (3 finished sections are in the table you created) - but I'm happy to continue finding sources and doing the writing. That's ok.--CaroleHenson (talk) 14:54, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Chinese
Just out of interest, do you speak Chinese? I've seen you've had some contributions to the chinese Wikipedia. Adam Mugliston Talk 12:47, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- I do. You got anything for me to translate? :D -- RexRowan Talk 13:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- No, not currently, I was just curious. Do you also write? And which Chinese do you speak ( I mean Mandarin, Cantonese...)? I've been teaching myself Japanese. Adam Mugliston Talk 13:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- I speak and write Mandarin although understand all Chinese written languages, including the classical version. A good sources for quotes. :D -- RexRowan Talk 13:26, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Blimey. How long did it take you to learn that? I'm learning the Japanese Kanji characters which derive from Chinese characters. Tell me what these mean if you recognise them, I'd like to see if it's the same: 山 川 日 金 Adam Mugliston Talk 13:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- I am Chinese, this is one of my ancesters Qin Shi Huang. The four letters in Chinese means:

Oh, you're Chinese! How come you live in Wales? It's the same! Adam Mugliston Talk 13:36, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- My husband's mother is from Wales so we moved here years ago. My sons both were born in England but speak Welsh in school. -- RexRowan Talk 13:38, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oh right, do you have a Chinese name? Adam Mugliston Talk 13:42, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes :D -- RexRowan Talk 13:44, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Ohh what is it? You can e-mail it if you prefer. Adam Mugliston Talk 13:45, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- I prefer not to say, I'm not famous anyway. You won't find me on Google. I am a mentally handicapped person. -- RexRowan Talk 13:48, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Alright then. I wouldn't even know what to search for. You said you were autistic, but it doesn't seem a big handicap. Adam Mugliston Talk 13:50, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Not IQ wise, my IQ is 148 but my EQ is about 5 years old, which means I haven't got much clue why people behave in certain ways, social strategies such as lying, sexism and racism are mind buffing to me, so I hide in my room and chat to you. -- RexRowan Talk 13:56, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- How did you measure your IQ? I'd like to. My friend has Asperger's Syndrome, a mild autism and he has similar issues, but not very severely. Adam Mugliston Talk 13:59, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- I took an IQ test at Mensa, but I don't think they mean anything on a CV. In America they seem to take it more seriously. -- RexRowan Talk 14:02, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Oh did you get it posted or did you go to Mensa? Did it cost you? I'd just like to know for knowing really. Talking about Chinese, we are having a Chinese-come-Polish soup for dinner today, my grandma and step-grandad are coming. Adam Mugliston Talk 14:04, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- It cost me 10 quid about 10 years ago I think. I got it posted. But I did not join their club as it seems to cost extra membership fee. You can Google IQ tests online and take some free ones. Btw, on the Chinese Wiki, they actually have a food menu section listed all the dishes on there. :D -- RexRowan Talk 14:07, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oh that's cool, but I wouldn't understand it. I love Chinese food, one of my favourites is lemon chicken. Yum. We have an excellent chinese takeaway nearby. We've only had it once though. Before we sometimes went to the Golden Dragon in Ipswich. I like Chinese buffets. Adam Mugliston Talk 14:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Me too. I was a usual at the Chinese buffet in Dunstable and all the stuff knew me and my son. If you want a recipe, I can look around for you. Yesterday I had Mexico chicken wraps, it was delicious. The tortillas were soft, taste better than tacos :D -- RexRowan Talk 14:19, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oh thanks, that'd be great. You mean fajitas! We have them a lot too, yummy. I also love Japanese food. You know YO! Sushi? I don't like the fish ones, but cucumber maki is my favourite, and the chicken katsu, chicken gyoza and chicken teriyaki. Mmmmm. I also like Indian, we have it a lot. And of course Italian - pizza, pasta (carbonara.... mmmmmm) and Mexican as I said. Adam Mugliston Talk 14:25, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I found the box, it says Quesadillas. The brand is Old El Paso, we ate them with chicken and toasted cheese. hey maybe you can join the food project! :D -- RexRowan Talk 14:43, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- And tonight, brought to you by the same brand, we will have Enchiladas. :D -- RexRowan Talk 14:46, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

By the way, shall I upload the photos of the boxes on commons? Would there be any copyright violations? -- RexRowan Talk 14:48, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oh Enchiladas! Love those too. Old El Paso? Yes, I think there may be a copy vio there. Adam Mugliston Talk 14:52, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- I know Yo Sushi, never eaten in them before but I love the little Japanese dolls on their website. Went to a Japanese restaurant called Wagamama in St Albans though. There's a small Chinese buffet on Oxford Road in London called Chopsticks, I use to eat there. :D -- RexRowan Talk 14:58, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- So did you live in Hertfordshire (or is it Buckinghamshire...)? Do you mean Oxford Street in London? Never heard of Oxford Road... Adam Mugliston Talk 15:15, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, Oxford Street. I used to live in the South East but I like here better. I like quite places because I get very overwhelmed in noisy places and if people shout at me, I sometimes lash out then they'd accuse me antisocial and give me a very hard time. -- RexRowan Talk 15:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, unlike you, I don't feel well in quite places, sometimes almost a bit depressed. I love the city and I miss it greatly. Adam Mugliston Talk 15:21, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Brand new Doctor Who is on in couple of hours, you like Doctor Who? -- RexRowan Talk 15:56, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- No, I don't like. I generally don't enjoy science-fiction. Plus, as I said my grandma and her husband are arriving in less than an hour, they're due for 6. Adam Mugliston Talk 16:08, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I'm watching James Bond movie 'Never Say Never Again' on ITV. Off now, talk later! -- RexRowan Talk 16:11, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Art articles
Hi, how are your art articles going? By the way, have you noticed MiszaBots aren't working? (except II) Adam Mugliston Talk 19:10, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- They look ok. I filled out a research paper for autism today. I read some stories and answered questions. No, I didn't notice anything. What you doing? -- RexRowan Talk 19:53, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oh right, what was it for? I'm not doing much, haven't got much homework yet. Adam Mugliston Talk 15:58, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
- Cool. Basically, autistic people get confused when a sentence like what do you think that your mom think that your grandma's sister's husband think of this dog. You can take this test too, you don't have to be autistic to take it, you can be a control and your name will not be mentioned in their publication. This is the link, send her a message, she replies pretty fast: [6] -- RexRowan Talk 16:12, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
- I had a look for the link, but I don't fit the requirements, I'm afraid. Adam Mugliston Talk 16:49, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

- Ok, it's a translator for the socially blind. It offers suggestion on language terms and idioms that autistic find very confusing and it offers action suggestions too according to the message received. If the idea fits all the criteria which is already in the middle of the article then you can put it in a certain category which is on the bottom of the article. You can support it and endorse it and offer further comment and suggestions too! :D -- RexRowan Talk 18:13, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
- I had a look, I just corrected a spelling mistake, but otherwise it looks pretty good. I think it would be very hard to make though. Adam Mugliston Talk 18:19, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for checking it for me, so far the reaction is very positive. I think the development should take some time but it's doable. The idea doesn't have to come true, anyone can write an idea :D -- RexRowan Talk 18:33, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

- Thank you very much Carole! I listen to calm music in the evening sometimes and it helps a lot! I often wake up in early morning to check if it's time to get up even the alarm is on, I normally stay awake for two hours before the alarm goes off just to make sure my sons don't miss school. After they get up, I pass out. :D -- RexRowan Talk 08:05, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

VWBot (talk) 17:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC) == Speedy deletion nomination of Roger Crossland ==
A tag has been placed on Roger Crossland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Valenciano (talk) 17:45, 7 September 2012 (UTC) == Removing Speedy at Roger Crossland == Hi RexRowan, you recently removed a deletion tag from Roger Crossland. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 18:37, 7 September 2012 (UTC) == Proposed deletion of Jade Rooster == The article Jade Rooster has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Wales Autism Research Centre (WARC), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://psych.cf.ac.uk/warc/.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

- I have gone in and rewritten the initial sentence so it should not be a copyright issue. I've also added a bit more information from a secondary source. The two issues here were: WP:copyright violation and needing WP:Secondary sources. If you'd like to expand the article after you work with Worm a bit, let me know. I'd be happy to help, taking it slow step-by-step.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:47, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, thank you so much! :D --RexRowan (talk) 17:53, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
The article Shou Mian has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unsourced and no indication of WP:notability
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 19:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Do you really want to speedy delete this article? It seems to be that it can be integrated in one of the many great Chinese cuisine articles.
- I actually copied the article info into a temporary file on my hard drive. If it's a common food - why lose the info? We could get this in shape very easily.--CaroleHenson (talk) 15:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Ok, merge it into Chinese noodles? It was mentioned in the Chinese cuisine article. --RexRowan (talk) 15:41, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, you put a db-author tag on the article, so I wasn't going to touch it. I did, though, save the information to a "potential (something, I forgot)" section at the bottom of your user page. If you want to merge it into the Chinese noodles article, I'd be happy to help.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:51, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

== Speedy deletion nomination of Research Autism ==
A tag has been placed on Research Autism requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. noq (talk) 19:58, 7 September 2012 (UTC) |

==Disambiguation link notification for September 10== Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited King Zhuangxiang of Qin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Clan name (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject. It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:09, 10 September 2012 (UTC) ==Your contributed article, Autosomal set==
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Autosomal set. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Autosome. 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 Autosome – 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 nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. George Ponderevo (talk) 12:39, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
==Speedy deletion nomination of V gene==
A tag has been placed on V gene requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.
