Thank you very much for contacting me, Tar-ba-gan. I have been watching much of the Olympics this time around and may be able to help you out - though I may not be able to expand many of the articles on archery competitors. I will try, though. Bobo. 17:18, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bobo thanks a lot for your help! I mostly observe Olympics thru Wikipedia publications these days so your help as a witness is very much appreciated, also! I am not seeking to expand these articles (except for the sports person's card templates maybe), I was more concerned about my English in an area that is new to me even in my native Russian, which right now, due to the attention people pay to the Olympics, may be directly harmful. --Tar-ba-gan (talk) 11:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On 22 October, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hu Sihui, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page .

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

Привет.
Я увидела, что ты тоже из России, поэтому обращаюсь к тебе с просьбой о помощи. Дело касается статьи The Breaker (manhwa). У меня есть материалы, ссылки, готовые шаблон и план статьи. Но нет достаточной осведомленности в правилах этой Вики. Из-за этого постоянно возникают проблемы. Если ты хорошо ознакомлен со здешними требованиями и правилами, то предлагаю совместный проект. С меня - материал, с тебя - контроль на соответствие правилам и доработка текста до читабельного варианта. Больно видеть, что эта статья удаляется. Ведь есть очень много людей, интересующихся этой темой, готовых вносить в неё правки, но берущих самоотвод из-за постоянных проблем со статьей. С надеждой на твою помощь, Амель (talk) 02:08, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noted your interest in Evariste Huc and Joseph Gabet. I have just created an article for Gabet, primarily using material translated from the French Wikipedia article. On the talk page there's a link to the page for the British Library Dunhuang Project editathon which includes both of them as article editing targets.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cheng Duanli, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yuanshi. 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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Twentieth_Century_Impressions&curid=50520292&diff=733668520&oldid=730452125 - there does not seem to be a very adequate edit summary to say why a footnote is being removed to be replaced with a very general say nothing comment. JarrahTree 10:26, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I accidentally removed a footnote? Sorry, will try to undo my edit then. --Tar-ba-gan (talk) 10:43, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No big deal, the whole series are weird at the best of perspectives, very imperial/colonial/ snapshots, but there seems an extraordinary paucity of details about the people involved in the venture, and the note about the people involved was intentional in the hope that a following editor might avctually be able to trace info about the obscure british imperial colonial writers interested in the innards of colonies and other far flung places from London. cheers and np JarrahTree 10:51, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I found I had not removed the footnote but moved it to next paragraph, but anyway. As for content, a lot of details and a lot of locals that we do not find otherwise. The scope of British journalism on actual people (locals as well as colonial administrators, with pictures) is adorable. In the particular book about HK and late Qing China, there are dozens of Chinese people, as well as Germans, Russians etc. I do not really know any other tradition that tells you about businessmen, every other journalism is crazy about supreme leader, aristocracy and soldiers, and then they just switch to pop celebrities. Actually, you can see that the book of the series, about Ceylon, is a major source about history and family history for people of today's Shri Lanka. --Tar-ba-gan (talk) 12:17, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My apology for misreading your edit history (not the first time unfortunately). You are right about details otherwise unknown, there were very weird details in the australian context which was not otherwise found in local books of similar sort until trove came along instead with newspaper items from the era JarrahTree 13:53, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is OK. I really appreciate your help. For years I have been starting too many items on ws and it is always a surprise and a pleasure when someone else appreciates them. -Tar-ba-gan (talk) 18:35, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
