Hello and welcome. You can sign your name with ~~~~. IMO, "Zhou Enlai" sounds closer to the acutal pronounciation than "Joe Un-lai". The Zh sound is not pronouced like J. Unless we use complex notation (such as those used in dictionaries), the name will still be mispronouced. Let's discuss this at

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style for China-related articles so others can participate.--Jiang

Mr. Spencer195, you were obviously not at all informed on the entire "Little Black Sambo" issue you wrote for

Chinese family names

Great links to wiki dictionary. Thanks! I didn't know there are dictionary entries for those characters. Are those entried imported from some public domain database? Kowloonese 22:34, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Nanshu filled in the data with a bot, getting the information from the Unihan database (which in turn got their information from CEDICT (http://www.mandarintools.com/cedict.html), which is open-source). ☞spencer195 22:52, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I think the only problem with linking the characters like this is that the underlining can be kind of distracting and the page can get a little harder to edit. I wonder if there is some way to modify the Wikipedia software so that Chinese characters would automatically link to their corresponding Wiktionary page? ☞spencer195 22:55, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I was the one who came up with the shorthand for the "

BTW, it looks like redirects work fine - so Moving the VFD template to vfd allows both to work. That should be fine. -Stevertigo 19:52, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Please look at this and see if the tags that I added are valid. If the case doesnt matter, (due the redirects magically working) then caps can still be used for visibility, eh? I have to run, so if you can follow up, TBG! Thanks. -Stevertigo

Hu Jintao Portrait

Hi Spencer,

I got the Hu Jintao portrait from the website of the CCP-owned newspaper China Daily. I have searched this website and other websites high and low to see if I could find any other good portraits of Jiang Zemin or Deng Xiaoping in the traditional uniform of the Central Military Commission (the green suit), but I can't still find a hi-res portrait of either. It would be great if you could try and search the rest of the site for these types of pictures. Thanks! --Valentino 04:31, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I've found some decent headshots of Jiang Zemin in a business suit (See [1]), but no larger versions or headshots of him in a Mao suit. I'll keep searching. -spencer195 05:05, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Actually, Jiang's Wikipedia entry has a picture of him in the Mao suit, but a face portrait of the same would be better for the entry. I did find a picture of Jiang in a traditional Chinese suit along with George W. Bush, but I don't think it's close enough. I hope you find it; I'll keep looking also. --Valentino 06:47, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

Spencer195, absolutely be involved with editing/contributing to the articles. Part of the experience for the students is to in fact interact with Wikipedians. Treat them as any other newbies (er, that is, well behaving newbies) and hopefully you both will benefit from it. Thanks for asking. Fuzheado | Talk 03:18, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi. Just wondering why you created this category? It duplicates the contents of List of Chinese dissidents, which contains a bunch of additional information. I think the general practice is to have one or the other, but not both. [[User:Noisy|Noisy | Talk]] 18:17, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Re: Expressway maps

Hi Spencer195,

These maps will be coming soon! I've already done one or two for a few expressways (e.g. Jingzhang), these will get them first. Maps take quite some time, but the moment a map for an expwy is done, I'll add it to the article. Thanks again for the encouragement!

Best, --DF08 19:06, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)

PS: Check out the 5th Ring Road article in Chinese -- it's got a map (scroll down), that's a prototype of an earlier map I made. (I wasn't born an artist, so improvements to come...) The new ones will be unified in size (300x300, as the pictures) and be a bit more informative.

Hi again,
Check out

David Latapie

Hello Spencer,

Thank you for your welcoming message,this is much appreciated. Howerver, I'm an old wikipedist (I favour this term over wikipedian), since I first contributed in june 2003. It just happens that I usually edit the French Wikipedia. That is why my English page is not that organised.

I saw you signed a petition for the return of the Old Wikipedia. Do you know if there is any petition or lobbying or whatever to change the rules for hyperlinking? I find it annoying to have a double bracket+pipe rule for internal links and a single bracket+space rule for external links…

recent deletions

I know you're new at this, but some of your recent deletions are a problem. First off, just because the uploader or author requested something be deleted, it is still not within policy to honor that request. The one exception is deletion of User: subpages, because everything becomes "owned" by the entire project, not just the originator. The second thing is that when you delete something, you should leave in a summary of the text, as in "Content was: Foo". -- Netoholic @ 06:34, 2004 Oct 31 (UTC)

"Uploader requested" deletions

I noticed in the deletion log that you have deleted a number of images while leaving the edit summary "Uploader requested deletion" or something similiar. I wanted to clarify to you that just because an uploader requests one of their images be deleted (unless it is a personal image, like a photograph for

Regional notice boards

I notice you left a message on the Category discussion page on moving the notice boards from "X Wikipedians' notice board" to "X-related topics notice board". I think this is important - the current convention discourages the contribution of those who are interested in a particular country/culture but are not residents. Did you have any success/opposition? --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 19:38, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Small cap for surname

I have noticed that you recently made Zhang Ziyi's surname ALL CAPITAL. That was what I proposed two to three years ago. Back then, there were objections because it did not follow some wikipedia naming conventions. My user page talked about that too. I was wondering if your recent action will be shot down by the same group of people who want to stick to an arbituary choice that fails in international usage. I just hope those who objected three years ago are no longer here, then we can do it right. Perhaps your new standard should be updated in the Wikipedia naming convention. Kudos for the starting a revolution. You have my support.  :-) Kowloonese 00:47, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Re: admin

Hi Spencer,

I accept the nomination with pleasure. I'm here for Wikipedia -- be that contributing articles, writing up about the Beijing expressways, or helping out in general. I'm ready for the challenge.

I'm also rather sorry I failed to vote for you when you were about to become an admin yourself. I was always in favour of you being an admin, you can count this as my (rather delayed) vote -- of confidence -- a yes vote.

A personal thank you -- to you -- for your confidence, in me, in my contributions. I now face the consensus on the vote page with pleasure. :-)

All the best, --DF08 04:42, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've

WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000
Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at

Template messages/User namespace
. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the

GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. Ram-Man (comment) (talk
)[[]] 14:12, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

What are your thoughts/reasons for creating this?

File source problem with File:Jiang Ying.gif

Thank you for uploading File:Jiang Ying.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:51, 9 September 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:51, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is

WP:MINOR
). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of

Removal of permissions

In accordance with the process for expedient removal of permissions, administrator permissions of the account Spencer195 (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) are to be removed immediately given concerns that the account may have been compromised and being used to abuse multiple accounts.

This desysop is temporary until the entire Committee has had the opportunity to examine the matter and Spencer195 is given an opportunity to explain his actions.

I don't get it - what looks odd? Please understand that I've been away for six years and my understanding of Wikipedia is a bit rusty. Spencer195 (talk) 00:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll make an unofficial suggestion to you: given that you have spent quite a number of years away from Wikipedia I think it's fair to say that you are no longer as familiar with the community norms and expectations around the admin bit. The Committee only removed those permissions preemptively, and we're still examining the matter and its context, but perhaps the best solution would be to relinquish the bit voluntarily, reacquaint yourself with how things have changed, and request the bit back in a couple of months? (Either to the Committee or directly
to the community as you prefer). — Coren (talk) 00:32, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply

Indefinitely blocked

I have indefinitely blocked you from editing. The reason is given below.

  • Firstly, had I been the checkuser on the SPI case filed against you I almost certainly would have blocked you there and then. Administrators, irrespective of when they gained the admin rights or whatever the policies when they gained the rights, should know that doing things like [3] this on alternative accounts is unacceptable.
  • Secondly, you state that the policy on alternative accounts was different and asked what policy you violated. That is not an adequate defense. Policy is descriptive, not prescriptive; the fact that the policy has changed does not mean that community standards have. I was active around the time you left and I can assure you that this kind of behaviour was also unacceptable back then, regardless of what the policy stated.
  • Thirdly, you also stated that you don't see what you did wrong. This is the most disturbing thing, and one of the main reasons I have blocked you. If you cannot see why these edits were inappropriate, especially since they were on an alternative account, then there is risk of further behaviour like this if you remain unblocked. Additionally, I personally don't believe that you did now know it was inappropriate since you did it on an alternative account, however this does not factor into the blocking reason.
  • Fourthly and finally, the differences in your behaviour from when you stopped editing to when you started again support the hypothesis that your account is compromised.

All four of these reasons are insufficient evidence to block you but when you combine all four it becomes sufficient. I regret it has come to this but your inability to see what you did wrong and your seeming unwillingness to demonstrate that you won't do it again have lead to this block. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 14:51, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As one of the checkusers on the case filed against you, I do support this block. There are too many odd things regarding this situation for me to believe for a moment that you are who you claim to be. The only reason I didn't block you at the time was because I figured the Arbitration Committee would handle that better.
a/c) 15:37, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply

As someone who also was active in the time period mentioned, I can add a second voice to deskana's point relating to that. This was not acceptable back then and this is not how this account used to behave. I believe a compromised account is highly likely. --
 ۩ Mask 21:17, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply
]
No, I'm not going to do it again, and no, this account is not compromised. How can I prove it has not been compromised? Isn't indefinitely blocking me a bit harsh of a punishment for a first-time offense, and given that this account has been around for years incident-free and with over 4000 edits? I would think that de-sysoping me would be enough. And what about the comment by A Quest For Knowledge [4] that blocks are supposed to be preventative rather than punitive? Of course I'm not going to do it again, now that I know what the consequences are. Spencer195 (talk) 07:10, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The blok is quitel clearly preventive - you are saying that you don't even know what you did wrong - that means that your promise not to do it again is rather useless, you may do it again without even knowing it. The only way to prevent further disruption then is by block. Desysopping is not enough since your problems have not been with abuse of admin tools but with lack of commonsense.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 13:06, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
@Maunus I was checking this old case and it struck me as odd. The reported great difference of editing and perspective to the point other editors casting doubt as to the true identity of Spencer195. People change, accounts get hacked, but it made me think of the murder of Irene Silverman by Sante Kimes, who tried to personate her to take over her life.

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
