April 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Shanghai Railway Station. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted.

I have repaired your cut and paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Daming temple a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Daming Temple. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:59, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of township-level divisions of Shanghai, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Huangpu. 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.

Thanks for creating Line 3, Kunming Rail Transit, Opacitatic!

Wikipedia editor NearEMPTiness just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

This is a good start. However, the article is still a bit too short to be meaningful. A diagram with clickable links to all 17 stations of that line would be helpful.

Disambiguation link notification for July 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Shanghai Metro stations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 宝山区.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 11:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese surname page moves

When requesting the move of multiple pages with the same rationale as you did at Talk:Lu (surname 陆) et al., please consider using the WP:RM § Requesting multiple page moves process to combine the discussion in one place. Thanks. — AjaxSmack 14:31, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate

Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

Shanghainese romanization

I saw you added Shanghainese romanizations to the article List of township-level divisions of Shanghai (I hope it was you, if not, my apologies). Could you elaborate a bit on how you got those? Do you have knowledge of Shanghainese romanization systems and can come up with them on the fly or are you using some dictionary? Is this romanization system based on the Shanghainese long-short romanization, or Wiktionary's romanization, or some other romanization system? The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to add Shanghainese romanizations to articles for stations of the Shanghai Metro, but I have no idea where to start or how to obtain proper romanizations. Thanks. Heights^{(Want to talk?)} 01:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
