你好朋友!

I recently started the article for my hometown in California >> 里士满 (加利福尼亚州) but I don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin at all and I'm using a dictionary and my friend Lei Jing Yee is helping me but she isn't fluent in Cantonese and could only help me a little bit. Someone added a will be deleted in 30 days tag if sources weren't added but i added sources. Could anyone tell me if I have done a good job? Is there a tag that I can add to request a translation? I think people who edit 舟山市 might be interested because its the sister city of 里士满/Richmond. How did I do? Would anybody help? Thank you!谢谢!Cholga 2007年8月5日 (日) 06:23 (UTC) Also if you respond would you tell me so and give me a link to this page on my talk page its very hard for me to navigate.Cholga 2007年8月5日 (日) 06:24 (UTC)

That's an example to show that one can write a lot of Chinese that totally does not make sense. :) --蒙人 ->敖包相会 2007年8月28日 (二) 23:05 (UTC)

Suggestion

Please do not mix traditional and simplified Chinese scripts on the same page.

Please click "简体" or "繁体" on the top of the page if you'd like to read simplified or traditional texts.125.33.217.66 (留言) 2008年11月8日 (六) 05:49 (UTC)

I have to find the meaning of the surname liow,can you help me.

Do you mean, a Chinese surname, spelled as "Liow"? A surname does not mean anything, like "Lincoln" does mean anything.--蒙人 ->敖包相会 2008年1月3日 (四) 23:45 (UTC)

Why aren't my preferences working?

Under my preferences, I have "介面語言" set to "en - English", but the interface language is still Chinese. Any ideas how I can fix that? Angr (留言) 2008年1月5日 (六) 09:47 (UTC)

On further investigation, I don't think it's my preferences that are the problem. I see that even if I add "?uselang=en" to the URL of a page here, it still doesn't convert the interface language to English. Weird. Angr (留言) 2008年1月5日 (六) 09:50 (UTC)

"?uselang=en" only works on Commons and Metawiki, because those are multi-lingual projects. Single language projects like zh.wikipedia only uses Simplified and Traditional versions. You can swap between those. --Haha169 (留言) 2008年6月30日 (一) 23:07 (UTC)

Actually, upon further investigation (ignore my copying), I found out that it does work. Try your preferences again. --haha169 (留言) 2008年7月1日 (二) 04:13 (UTC)

Cost of air freight from Hangzhou, China to Sydney, Australia

How much does it cost to send something 100kg (50cm x 40cm x 30cm) from HANGZHOU,310013,CHINA to SYDNEY AUSTRALIA. (The Chinese Post website is not English-friendly, and I can't translate using Google Translate). Thanks for your help! 124.188.66.94 (留言) 2008年1月7日 (一) 18:42 (UTC)

Is User:Bobabobabo allowed on ZH?

I found that User:Bobabobabo, banned on EN (see en:User:Bobabobabo), JA (see ja:User:Bobabobabo), and other Wikimedia domains, has an account here. I marked his account with the notice that he was banned from EN and JA. He had not edited recently, so I thought he wouldn't come back.

Well, he came back. As seen from his contributions [1], he edited out my comments and then edited [2] [3] the Chinese Yu-Gi-Oh! GX page. WhisperToMe (留言) 2008年1月24日 (四) 05:09 (UTC)

How long do I have to wait to usurpate an account?

Hello,

How long do I have to wait before claim for an usurpation of registered account?

I am registered as Hercule in quite every wikis where I created an account (details), but here a user is registered as User:Hercule since the 21th of january 2008. He made 1 edit, has no registered mail, and doesn't seem to come back (I let him a message, but think I will have no answer).

I can't read your rules for usurpation :p

Thanks for your answers

—Hercule bzh (留言) 2008年2月11日 (一) 12:00 (UTC)

I don't see why you have multiple Hercule accounts makes Hercule in Chinese belong to you. I also have several user ids as "Mongol", but that one was used in the Spanish version already, so my id there is "MongolChino". The usurpation policy is not finalized here yet. Thus if the owner of that account agrees to pass that id to you, great. Otherwise, we cannot force him/her. --蒙人 ->敖包相会 2008年2月12日 (二) 17:31 (UTC)

In the spanish wiki you can usurpate the name Mongol because he has made no edits (es:http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cambiar_el_nombre_de_usuario

Chinese Wikipedia for Palm Handheld

Hello.

I have the English Wikipedia encyclopedia on my Palm Treo 650 since April 2006, using TombRaider3 software to read. It was very useful.

Now, I have upgraded to Palm Centro with CJKOS, Chinese operating system. I would like to ask if there is a Chinese Wikipedia encyclopedia for Palm handdeld too?

My email address: yuncheng.woo@gmail.com

Thank you.

Google toolbar like web portal for intermediate learners of Chinese

Hi there,

Please excuse my English.

How many of you use the Chinese Wikipedia to brush up on that high school Chinese, but need to constantly lookup Chinese words for English meanings. The Google translation toolbar only translates from English to Chinese, not from Chinese to English. (Their whole web page translation is not what I want, I want to read the Chinese).

I have prepared a webpage portal that allows the Chinese Wikipedia to be viewed. From there, a right click on a word in the zh.wikipedia.org will pop up the English meaning. The portal with explanation of how to use it is at:

http://www.securecottage.com/cgi-bin/dictionary.cgi

There are other languages involved. French to English is the default translation, but there is a combo box that allows Chinese to English. I am wondering if there is a need or wish for a utility like this. For the intermediate Chinese learner who can get the sense of a sentence but still needs to lookup a lot of words to understand the whole meaning.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Paul Cheffers

Question about airport data

Hello, I have a question about airport data.

Some time ago I found a list with all passenger data (and I believe also freight data) of all Chinese airports. The list was published, I believe, by the CAAC and was in Chinese (which was not a problem). I am now in need of that list again, but I cannot find the link to it. Can someone help me find the list. It contained a lot of data and I am in need of that data. Thanks in advance!

Can nobody help me? Waerth (留言) 2008年5月22日 (四) 09:11 (UTC)

If you can read Chinese you may consult this article: 中國大陸機場列表 (corresponding English article is List of airports in the People's Republic of China, but without passenger data), although the data provided is not dated and unreferenced so its validity is questionable. Unfortunately this is currently the best provided by both Wikipedias. Thanks for your call.—Computor (留言) 2008年5月24日 (六) 01:48 (UTC)

Well I finally found it myself :) I knew it was out there. Now all I have to do is translate it to English! Here it is, so you can use it as a source for articles on the zh.wikipedia .... [4] (warning the link opens an xls file!) The xls file contains the data of all of the Chinese airports. ～～～～

About your variant tabs

Hi. I've noticed the Chinese Wikipedia have extra tabs, which as far as I think are useful to switch between the Chinese variants of the language. I'm really keen on knowing how could I do that for the Nahuatl Wikipedia as we're under a dialects problem. Is there a MediaWiki page where I can do that or is it somewhere else? Thanks. My user page is here: Fluence, 12:39 13 July 2008 (UTC-5)

I've found this: MediaWiki:Zhconv which I think may lead to something, but please, someone help me!!--Fluence, 16:54 16 July 2008 (UTC-5)

Typing Chinese

I'm about to ask a question which, I think, most of you have already heard while browsing Internet. How do you write your language? I know you need something like 6000 marks just to read newspaper and approximately (over) 10'000 after you've done with schools. So, how in heck do you type Chinese with computers and mobile phones since including thousands and thousand of marks into the keyboard doesn't really sound like a good (neither working) solution (that would make helluva large keyboard)? Only link to the last discussion about this topic is enough. I'm asking mostly because of my curiosity. :-) --Chrattac (留言) 2008年9月5日 (五) 16:19 (UTC)

Absolutely not, we won't use a "large keyboard". I think the keyboard we used is as large as yours, no different. The difference is only on the input methods. For details, if you can read Chinese, you may take it for refers; if you do not, you may refer to en:Chinese input methods for computers.—J.Wong 2008年9月6日 (六) 02:40 (UTC)

Betawiki: better support for your language in MediaWiki

Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called Betawiki. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here to use your language in the interface, but if you would log in to for example the Japanese language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. In fact, of 1,736 messages in the core of MediaWiki. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages for 126 extensions, with 2,174 messages. Many of them are used in WMF projects and they are vital for understanding the wiki. Translators for over 100 languages contribute their work to MediaWiki this way every month.

If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit Betawiki, create an account and request translator privileges. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on MediaWiki.org and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be working on your language on Betawiki.

If you have any further questions, please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by importing all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.

You can also find us on the Freenode IRC network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we will be happy to help you get started.

Hello Chinese Wikipedians,

I plan to do some statistics about the use of wiki features (precisely: wiki language features) by the editors. To do this, I need to download the content of lots of articles from several wikipedias. Additionally, I would be really interested in seeing if linguistic or cultural factors have a major influence on the results, and what kind of influence. This is the reason why I wish to get raw material from very different cultural areas, including the chinese one. The other planned languages are : bambara, catalan, czech, dutch, gaelic, quechua -- maybe more. As this is a big works, it will be done using a 'bot' (an software automat; or robot), which would access each wiki site, get page names or identities, chose random ones and save their content. Ordinarily, using a software bot for accessing wiki content requires a permission of the local communauty. This is the aim of the present message. This bot would probably use 'spirbot' as user name. Note that it would not edit anything on your wiki, nore change the content in any way. You could restrict its right so that it has no edit permission. Still, this data collect may not happen before several weeks, as I have some more job to do. I simply wished to talk about it in advance.

Thank you for your attention.

Worldwide survey Wikipedia

Hi, I am responsible for the worldwide survey of the WIKIPEDIA users & contributors.

A few hours ago you posted a link to our survey, however, the URLs are wrong. Could someone please change the hyperlinks to http://survey.wikipediastudy.org/intro.php?lang=zhhant (traditional chinese) & http://survey.wikipediastudy.org/intro.php?lang=zhhans (simplified chinese) a.s.a.p. All internet traffic is now routed to one server.

Thanks in advance!

Quick translation

I'm more into helping with the technical implementation of the Wiki, but I thought it may be fitting to have my user page at least bilingual. Does anyone feel like translating the following for me: "Hello! If you wish to leave me a message, it would probably reach me sooner if you left it at my English Wikipedia talk page."? Reply here, and 谢谢 in advance. Hexagon1 (留言) 2008年11月3日 (一) 08:27 (UTC)

 您好，为了能及时得到回复，欢迎到我的英文维基百科对话页留言，谢谢！

Is there a Simple Chinese Wikipedia? If not, should there be?

Is there a Simple Chinese Wikipedia? (I mean simple language, like the Simple English Wikipedia, not simplified characters (简体汉字).) If this doesn't exist, I'd like to suggest it as a project, to help the millions of people who are studying Chinese all over the world. I don't know enough Chinese to help start it, but I would like to urge the idea forward. Thank you, MCB (留言) 2008年11月18日 (二) 21:40 (UTC)

No, there is not such a thing. But other than Simple English version, is there another language that has a simple version? I don't think Chinese deserves to be the second, as its Wikipedia volume is only around the 10th. --蒙人 ->敖包相会 2008年11月18日 (二) 21:55 (UTC)

Thank you. Perhaps it can be a project for the future, when the Chinese Wikipedia is larger. Best, MCB (留言) 2008年11月19日 (三) 07:15 (UTC)

Well there are plenty of other versions in Chinese I've seen, including zh-classical. The one we're one right now has more than one way to be viewed! I think the next Wikipedia that should be simplified should be Spanish, since it's a poplual lanugague. Or how about French? I'd LOVE to see a Chinese Wikipedia written in Pinying! (Or however you spell it). OR wait! I know! How about Simple Japanese?! Oh that'd be great! BTW, there's a page that needs to be translated, [6] (Charlotte's Web. Anyone wanna take a crack at tranlating? I did a little bit. Also there's another one, [7] (Charlotte's Web (1973 film). When that's done, we need a page for 夏洛特的网 (2006年电影) (Charlotte's Web (2006 film) and 夏洛特的网 2：韦伯历险记(Charlotte's Web 2：Wilbur's Great Adventure. I'm glad we can work as a team!

Why do you keep changing my content? 为何一直更改我的页？

An article does not belong to anyone. See en:Five Pillars.

Why?

你好！I have a question: why do titles appear in traditional characters? I don't know if it always happens but I think it's a technical disadvantage. For example: 纳瓦特尔语 goes to 納瓦特爾語 automatically; title reads 納瓦特爾語 but description within the article says 纳瓦特尔语. Why? 谢谢--Fluence (留言) 2008年12月28日 (日) 04:30 (UTC)

An article is always edited by both Traditional Chinese users and Simplified Chinese users. So sometimes both traditional and simplified characters are present in the source. Up at the top you can see some tags like this:不转换、简体、繁體、大陆简体、港澳繁體、马新简体 and 台灣正體。They will convert the characters to the ones that you are familiar with. 不转换 means not to convert, 简体 and 繁體 are Simplified Chinese(zh-hans) and Traditional Chinese (zh-hant), 大陆简体、港澳繁體、马新简体 and 台灣正體 are zh-cn, zh-hk, zh-sg and zh-tw.

I hope this would help. -- Ben.MQ_{（留言-貢獻）} 2008年12月28日 (日) 04:51 (UTC)

谢谢， it does help :) --Fluence (留言) 2008年12月28日 (日) 05:11 (UTC)
