Talk:2015–16 Chinese stock market crash

Now that the previous RM resulted in no consensus, can you do another RM instead? You came up the idea of "turbulence", so I think I'll leave the proposal to you. --George Ho (talk) 01:07, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Hans-Joachim Lang article in progress

Thanks for explaining my errors on my first try at DYK. Submitted too early and my name in a place that wanted the name of the creator of the article -- I was not claiming that status, just misunderstood the boxes. I will watch for when the article is in what you call the main space, and try again with a new form, correctly completed, which I hope is the correct next step re DYK. The Lang article grew out of edits to Natzweiler-Struthof (the only WWII concentration camp in modern day France) and Jewish skeleton collection, both with many references to Lang's recent work, with several editors updating and improving the two related articles. N0TABENE put Lang's article together, to be sure. --Prairieplant (talk) 11:07, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Actually, Prairieplant and I worked on the article together, but I submitted the draft. It was based on translations of existing articles on the French and German Misplaced Pages, with additional sources. It was submitted for review 10 days ago (March 23). Most of the other articles I've written were reviewed within several hours - how can we get this article reviewed and uploaded to the mainspace?? Thanks. NotaBene 鹰百利 23:24, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Prairieplant and N0TABENE: Thanks for the explanation. I'll give the draft some extra time to be reviewed. However, next time please submit articles for DYK after they're already accepted for the mainspace. -Zanhe (talk) 00:42, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Zanhe N0TABENE modified the article for a stronger focus on Lang and not just his most major work, The Names of the Numbers. The topics related to The Names of the Numbers are now subsections under that heading and Lang's other works are in a separate section, not just the list of his bibliography. We have both searched on line for more biography on him (he must have a mother and father and do more than his journalism and faculty work, as busy as that might keep him) and found just a little to add. It was not put there are at first because it seemed not so important. We keep searching, know this is a start. I found an interview with Lang, but it talks about how he faced the various turning points in his research for The Names of the Numbers (when he first met a relative of one of those people -- how would they react to what he had learned, what drove him to do the difficult research to turn the numbers into names, and is he satisfied now. In short, all about his work, adding nothing to biography. I keep thinking, there must be more interviews with a publication written in several languages now, and of importance immediately to both Germany and France, as well as to the relatives of the people named and the lesson for all of us in the world, but those interviews are not popping up yet. Please take a look to see if that is more the shape of an article you were expecting. I appreciate your comments, so clear and so quickly made. I write here, because I do not think there is a place for me to say more at the DYK nomination page. Like taking that 70 years ago phrase out of one alternate, though Hirt has been infamous for 70 years, I see it is one phrase too many in the "hook". But the alternate is there and more concise. Reviews by others are informative and instructive in this process. --Prairieplant (talk) 22:39, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Weng Songma

A tag has been placed on Weng Songma requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Misplaced Pages, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 10:44, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

@Stefan2: The redirect was automatically created when I moved an invalid article back to the author's userspace, and I agree it should be deleted. @MSGJ: I see that you've replaced the speedy tag with a redirect to Wang Dongma, but I don't think that's a valid redirect. Weng Songma is not a plausible typo for Wang Dongma. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 16:52, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Actually the artist Wang Dongma does not appear to be notable either, so I've initiated an AfD here. -Zanhe (talk) 16:57, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diligence

Hi Zahne: This is to acknowledge your behind-the-scenes work in patrolling the DYK nominations page for nominations that fail eligibility requirements, or that have been withdrawn/rejected and need to be removed from the page. Your unheralded work is actually very much appreciated by prep builders like myself, as it lets us skip over ineligible hooks while we wade through the page. Thank you! Yoninah (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Yoninah, it's always been a pleasure working with you. You've done lots of behind-the-scenes DYK work yourself, and are certainly more deserving of a barnstar! -Zanhe (talk) 19:30, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Bodybuilding in China

Yo, it's been a while. Have been busy irl, so rate of activity has slowed. (Wonder if I can get the Weiqi Devil fixed in time) Anyway, quite pleasantly surprised that Bodybuilding in China netted that many views. Do the 23000+ views for 13 April count towards views for DYKSTATS? In any case, having garnered some 27,554 views on 12 April, it has become the April DYK leader :D Kingoflettuce (talk) 15:13, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

@Kingoflettuce: Wow 50K views, that's really impressive! You can add it the DYKSTATS all-time leaders list, and it'll be among the all-time top 10 for non-lead hooks. I don't see why the 13 April views shouldn't be added to the total: the traffic spike obviously resulted from the DYK hook. -Zanhe (talk) 17:05, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your appreciation on a revision I made to Kong Anguo.

This is part of an exercise which could really do with more help.

Help with chinese political templates and articles

Hello, Zanhe. I accept your apology, it was clearly a computer glitch. The mistake was corrected within a span of 3 minutes, so please do not be frustrated over this. I am now creating English-language articles for articles in other wikipedias (currently I am creating them for the Spanish wikipedia). I was going to ask you to fill in the templates for the Jilin and Heilongjiang regional leaders. They are currently incomplete. Some of the politicians who have been leaders of the people's congresses and cppcc committees do not have English language articles. The articles Politics of Jilin, Politics of Fujian and Politics of Qinghai need to be expanded with lists of People's Congress Chairmen and CPPCC Committee Chairmen.

@Underbar dk and CWH: Sorry for dropping out without a notice. I only meant to take a short travel break in May, but found the the extra free time liberating, so I decided to leave Misplaced Pages for a while and resume my long-postponed goal of finishing The Cambridge History of China. I'm aiming to finish reading all the remaining volumes by the end of the year, and hopefully resume my normal editing early next year. Cheers! -Zanhe (talk) 05:24, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Good to hear! I've long waited in vain for my library to get the new volume 5 part 2 on the Song, perhaps you can tell me if there are any explosive revelations. Cheers! _dk (talk) 08:39, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Just don't then decide to finish off Needham's Science and Civilisation!

As you go along, you might think about the question raised at The Cambridge History of China of whether to include the TOCs of each volume. I agree that this would be cumbersome, but it would be useful to readers if there were some way of doing it. Just a thought.ch (talk) 16:07, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

10,000 Asia Challenge

Hi, I wondered if you'd be interested in joining Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge based on Misplaced Pages:The 10,000 Challenge and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge? The idea is to showcase the work being done on wikipedia across the continent, and inspire more people to create and work on countries which might not usually get much attention and then possibly running some contests to bring in new editors. I know it's very existence will definitely make me more likely to contribute more on China and other countries. Could be a way to highlight work needing doing for China and draw in new editors! Or perhaps set up a 1000 Challenge for China feeding into it? Not sure, but if interested add your name to the participants and I'll consider setting something up later in the month.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:29, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Yue Yi-chin

Hello, Zanhe! I have just created a new Chinese history article, though in this case I ventured into modern times and wrote about Yue Yi-chin, a a flying ace of the Republic of China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. As you can see, the article currently has just one source, as I have found no other English material on him. I just wanted to ask if you perhaps know of other material about him in Chinese (for example from the Chinese wikipedia article, which seems to exist), and if you could add these additional infos about him to the article (of course only if you have the time to do so; I don't want to pressure you). ^^ Applodion (talk) 22:20, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

@Applodion: Sorry I was away from Misplaced Pages for a while, but saw the article on the main page yesterday, congratulations! Luckily Med Nyin was able to add more sources to the article. I've also found some which I'll add shortly. Thanks for writing the article! -Zanhe (talk) 23:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Dear Zanhe, the migrated provinces, commanderies and counties I wrote is so terrible, so I hope that you could rewrite the article. Thanks for the great contributions you have made. Zanhe兄台，僑州郡縣乃魏晉南北朝史重要一環，奈何余力有所不逮，希冀君能重新編纂，感激不盡。 Med Nyin (talk) 04:15, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

@Med Nyin: You're too modest. You've done a good job starting this complex topic, and I don't think I can write it better than you. I do have a book (History of Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties 魏晉南北朝史 by Wang Zhongluo 王仲荦) which has quite a bit of detail on the subject, but I've been unexpectedly busy lately and will probably not be able to make substantial contributions to Misplaced Pages for at least several more months. Thanks for the great work you've done! -Zanhe (talk) 19:27, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

@Zanhe: Thank for your reply. It's all right, I would be busy, at least before May, too. As far as I'm concerned, Tian Yuqing (田余慶) 's works about Wei, Jin , Northern and Southern dynasties are rewarding reads. I am familiar with gazetteers (方志) and chorographies (地方誌), so it would be my pleasure if I could provide any tiny information for you in the future.Med Nyin (talk) 04:26, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
