Indeed I've been thinking of creating a template for this ref work for some time, as I quote that as a ref quite frequently. I might do that later, so as to give the citation of the work a consistent format. Anyway, I guess we should say something like "volume of fine art", not "art edition". Also, I think linking to commercial or payment-requiring sites should be avoided: I always remove those links linked to Amazon or Encyclopædia Britannica when I see them. Other may have different opinions, of course. Happy editing. Cheers.--K.C. Tang 03:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

先生太客气了。我对国学所知甚浅，但相信您也看到，这里写中国（以至东亚、中亚）东西的人实在太少，所以才不揣謭陋，东涂西抹，有甚么不对头的地方，还请斧请。祝编安。--K.C. Tang 01:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

避免冲突，这样做当然最好。老实说，大家都只是觉得维基百科有意思，才工余偷空来到这里来贡献一点点。日常生活已经够烦人的了，若在维基上还要生气，那太犯不着了。我也看到您跟别的用户的一些意见分歧，似乎往住跟资料来源有关。少数外国人全盘否定中文资料来源，这样的态度当然不对，但考虑到当代中国学术界良莠不齐的状况，对于国外人士的不信任，我们也只能体谅。没办法，只得尽量找可靠的资料来源，以理服人，若真的无法达成共识，那由它去吧，人生在世要做的事可多着呢！祝好。--K.C. Tang 01:31, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to thank you for your many quality edits to the article on the

Hi, one more thing, please. You are usually good at finding Chinese character names for articles; I've been expanding Su Shi's article, and was wondering if you could you find the character name for Su Mai, Su Shi's eldest son. He's mentioned twice in Su Shi's article, once in the Life section and the other in the Travel Literature sub-section.--PericlesofAthens 16:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take care, hope you provide some valuable input.--PericlesofAthens 19:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question: how could An Lushan be unsuccessful in military campaigns against the Khitans since the year 736 if he did not become a military commander until 744? I am confused.--PericlesofAthens 09:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I knew about his rise to fame because of Yang Guifei, but was unsure about his career before 744.--PericlesofAthens 09:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't jump the gun, Eiorgiomugini. The pic that is said to be attributed to Milemete is "De Secretis Secretorum", the black and white image below, while the colored image on top is said to be actually by him, the one that actually appears in the history of gunpowder article (notice in the link that your provided there is an extra split image at the bottom half of the first pic that is described). As for Bacon, I am not sure, I am not an expert on him. Also, there is no copyright problem with the picture found in the history of gunpowder article, as it has already been placed in wiki commons.--PericlesofAthens 14:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those are all really good questions, I just don't know the answer to any of them. I've already exhausted my part in helping and defending the Chinese section of the history of gunpowder article. If you look at the talk page for gunpowder, you'll see what I'm saying (although the page was not created by me, most of the written work on China in history of gunpowder is my doing, even some writing for the Islamic world, India, and Europe).--PericlesofAthens 02:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have recently created new articles for the

Also, I just created the article for Lingxiao Pagoda, and that will need Chinese character names accompanying its English-spelled name as well. Thanks!--PericlesofAthens 11:39, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An Lushan was Persian? That's news to me. I always thought he was Sogdian-Turkish. Britannica says his family name "An" is derived from the area of Bukhara (Sogdiana), while his personal name is from the Iranian "rowshan," or "light." What to make of this, I do not know. I will most likely scour the online scholarly journal sources at JSTOR for a clearer answer.--PericlesofAthens 12:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First off, thanks for adding those character names to the articles! Very cool. Second of all, my book East Asia: A Cultural, Social, and Political History, says that An Lushan was Sogdian and Turkish. Another book by Charles Benn, China's Golden Age: Everyday Life in the Tang Dynasty, also says that he is Sogdian and Turkish. I don't have many other books talking about him or his rebellion in depth. JSTOR wasn't much of a help.--PericlesofAthens 19:05, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although he was not from Persia directly, you do realize though that the Sogdians were an Iranian people?--PericlesofAthens 19:07, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is the debate still going on? I haven't checked the page in a while. It's sort of pointless to argue whether An Lushan was Persian or Sogdians, because Sogdians were a Persian people who spoke the

Middle Iranian languages), yet they were set apart from Persians in what is now Iran because they lived in Sogdiana (Bukhara) and spoke a different dialect, hence we call them Sogdians, not Persians. Anyways, I just created a new article on the Liaodi Pagoda, the tallest pre-modern Chinese pagoda tower in China's history. I was wondering if you could be so kind as to apply the Chinese character names for the pagoda. Thanks for doing that by the way, you have really helped out on a lot of articles I've created.--PericlesofAthens 14:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply

Thanks!--PericlesofAthens 16:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion, I created a scroll bar for the notes section in the Tang Dynasty article. Have a look!--PericlesofAthens 03:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
