On "Chu (state) Linguistic influences" edit

Hi, while I appreciate your recent edit of the linguistic influence on the language of Chu, the change has clearly deviated from the source material being referenced for three reasons.

  1. The source mentioned that Chu differed from Yayan (雅言) but it did not mention if it did with the "other Chinese speeches" as there were no written records that compared Chu with, let's say, the dialect of Yan. Also, the regional varieties of Old Chinese spoken in the Central Plain is generally assumed to be largely mutually intelligible with each other so it would be unnecessary to add "other Chinese speeches." (Old Chinese then had yet diverged into the many branches we see today).
  2. Changing the phrasing from "southern migration" (南迁) to "southern conquest" (南征) paints a different picture of the nature of the Chu migration. Not only would it be an oversimplification to characterize the movement as a conquest but also, more importantly, the linguistic influence had actually begun with the first southern migration, which took place before the Chu expanded further south (as mentioned in source).
  3. Some of the changes seemed rather awkwardly phrased, such as the superfluous, repeated use of the adjective "Chinese" before every noun. Similarly, the replacement of "language" with "speech" also has a different meaning in linguistics, the latter of which has more to do with speech sounds such as phonemes.

Disambiguation link notification edit

Hi. When you recently edited Winter's Bone, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Denby (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.

"Official" template edit

Hi, I see that in a number of cases you are removing "website" from the "official" template. Just so you know: that's a Sisyphus task, because there are automated bots gong around adding that to those templates... --Randykitty (talk) 10:01, 5 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I see in many cases this is not necessary. However, in some articles, such as this Neonatology (journal), add "website" would allow the link to disappear [1].--Thomasettaei (talk) 10:04, 5 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I see now. You just have to keep the the "1" and the link stays intact.--Thomasettaei (talk) 10:11, 5 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Exactly, I just changed it. The problem was that when you added "website", you also removed the "1=" before the URL, which is needed here to display the link correctly. You should have a look at the template documentation to see when the "1=" is necessary and when not, because I see you have also been adding it where it is absolutely not necessary. As far as I can see, all those templates were fine and didn't need any changes, I fear you're just wasting your valuable editing time on unnecessary edits. --Randykitty (talk) 10:15, 5 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
I went back and fixed the links according to your suggestions. Thanks!--Thomasettaei (talk) 10:20, 5 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Faye Wong edit

Hi, I am not gonna remove "Chinese" since Hong Kong is a part of China. But Faye Wong is definitely a Hong Kong artist,

1) Faye moved to Hong Kong at the age of 17, she moved back to Beijing because she married a mainland man Li Yapeng(after 2005), but throughout her carrer the majority time (1989-2005)she was stay in Hong Kong, not Beijing. And she is a Hong Kong citizen, not Beijing.

2) Her first 6 albums are all cantonese albums, Faye released her 1st mandarin album in 1994, which is her 7th album "Mistery"(迷). And that was firstly released in Taiwan, not in mainland China.

3) Her was named 7 times of "Most Popular Hong Kong Female Artist" (亞太區最受歡迎香港女歌星)and several times of "IFPI Hong Kong best selling local singer" (IFPI香港最高銷量本地歌手獎)awards.

4) In all music/movie award ceremonies she is classified to "Hong Kong-Taiwan Artists"(港台地區) from she released her first album till now. She was never been named an award about mainland china part(內地).

5) Faye's first concert was held in Hong Kong (1994), as well as her second concert (1998). All of the live CDs (最精彩,唱遊大世界,菲比尋常) she's released are all pick form Hong Kong concerts, that's what all HK artists normally do.

I just wanna say Faye is a HK artist that is common sense in Chinese people including Hong Kong and Taiwan people.

Have a good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.174.184.191 (talk) 01:29, 6 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

removing cranial data edit

I'm removing the cranial data because the sources are outdated studies and possibly pseudo-science characterization unless there is more new update study. Just like anthropological study where Indian anthropologists claimed the skulls and skeletons of indus valley were Mongoloid, Australoid, Alpine, Mediterranean is now removed from the Harappan civilization wikipedia and that study is even younger than the source you referenced.--Spiritclaymore (talk) 22:08, 25 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

I didn't put that section (Craniofacial analysis) on that article or cite these sources in that section. I was just wondering why you changed these information. You didn't explain it when you edited it.--Thomasettaei (talk) 12:58, 26 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Putonghua edit

Not sure what you're objecting to, since in your edit summary you appear to agree with what you're deleting. 10% of 70% would be 7%. "articulately and fluently" would be included under "fluently", though we can use the whole phrase if you like. L2 speakers are assumed to be fluent, or else the language wouldn't count as L2. I have "some skills" with Putonghua too, but I certainly would not claim it as a L2. And "has skills" is effectively meaningless, since it could mean riding a bicycle. Also, when the Chinese version of the article was covered at Language Log, it was the 7% that was considered noteworthy. — kwami (talk) 20:58, 5 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Discussions about Chinese religion edit

You have frequently assisted me editing articles about Chinese religions, so I ask you to read and give an opinion about the recent accusations that user CWH has made against me (Talk:Chinese folk religion), specifically of misusing sources. I think this derives from the very different interpretation that we give to sentences and words. I have few time to dedicate to Wikipedia and I don't want to spend it in long discussions.--Aethelwolf Emsworth (talk) 21:37, 19 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
