Macau

• Hi? thanks for your great contribution in the article of Macau. I am personally not sure if all references from that article are in correct MoS formats, if not , would you please help me to fix them ASAP? Due to lack of sources in many paragraphs, I will add more citations in different sections in order to make sure this article is fully referenced so that I can re-nominate this good article to FA as soon as possible. In addition, I would like you to reduce the size of the whole article from 72kb to not more than 60kb(more ideal). If you find out any extra & unnecesary information from that article, would you please remove them and put them to the related sub-articles or other articles?? in case you would like to reply me, you can write me over here or on my talk-page. Thanks a lot!!!! Coloane (talk) 23:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

• Hi? I already reduced the size of the article, Macau. Further size reduction is "a must" before putting this article into FA candidate (size below 50kb is situable) for nomination. Please refer to the talk page and check the FA comment (article milestone) and you will see that those people voted: oppose for this article because of the size simply. If you have time, I wish you could reduce more. I will combine the section of "administrative division into the section of "government and politics". Hong Kong was promoted to FA in 2005 and at that time its size was simply 45kb. Coloane (talk) 13:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• I reduced the size of Macau's article from 72kbs to 54kbs at the moment. 4 more kbs are necessary to reduce to make sure it will not over 50kbs. But I need to have a break now. So if you can help, you can reduce more. However, references are required to add more in this article. I will come back later and fix them. Very soon, I will nominate this article one more time until I have this article reached an FA standard. Coloane (talk) 19:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for your efforts. Now I think the size is prefect. The next step is probably to give citations in order to make sure this article is fully referenced. Then I will re-nominate this article again immediately over the FA candidate page. Coloane (talk) 23:05, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• I think that the article needs more references. It is not enough yet (i.e. not yet fully referenced). Grammar should be strictly checked to make sure it has no more run-on sentenses, no mistakes anymore in tenses and subject-verb agreements. British/Am English should be in consistence. And also we have to make sure it has no more tedious and excessive information in that article. Coloane (talk) 13:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

• For the reference from the capital city of Macau (i.e. none), I removed the reference because it may increase the size of that article. And also I removed the table from demography to make sure it is ot over 52kbs. Let's the article pass FA first, then we may add back whatever we what. Coloane (talk) 13:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Nomination

Can you nominate this article on FAC page so that I can vote? Coloane (talk) 11:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

You need to put it on the page of Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates also!! Coloane (talk) 13:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

OK! thanks!! I will vote Support an hout later!! Coloane (talk) 13:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Please address the problem raised by nominator(s) from the FAC page. I re-consider that I will vote Support a bit later after nominating from other people (just couple days later I will vote). I just want to show my vote being more objective. :) Coloane (talk) 23:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Vote

Josuechan, just ignore Miyokan's comment. And please vote "Oppose" to make sure his article Russia fail and leave the page of FAC immediately. His article is almost failed!!!! just give him a last bullet. I will come back and check it tomorrow!! Coloane (talk) 01:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Josuechan, I sincerely hope for your sake that you do not follow Coloane's petty direction as such a dirty tactic will be exposed and get you into trouble.--Miyokan (talk) 01:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Josuechan! don't listen to him. He rudely erased my comment everywhere, and wrote down statement of personal attacks in my talk page. And now he attacked our nomination with groundless reasons. It is very obvious who is dirty. I hope you can make a good choice. Talk to you tomorrow!!! Coloane (talk) 02:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Macau

if you feel interested in maintaining the portal Macau, you can go ahead. The "News" section always need to be updated. You can simply go to Google News and type search: Macau. All news related to Macau from different sources will come out. You can choose one of the most interesting and add it on Portal:Macau. Coloane (talk) 12:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

rogue

Just ignore the comment made by Caniago. Probably 2004 tsunami may affected him somewhat. I donated some for Indonesian when I was in New York, United States.Coloane (talk) 21:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
