[编辑] 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)

[编辑] Where is the Chinese Reference Desk?

Chinese language question: is it "跟人有仇" or "对人有仇"? Did I use the correct "仇" character?—以上未簽名的意見是由218.186.9.4（對話 • 貢獻）在2007年8月20日 (一) 10:42 (UTC)所加入的。

Welcome. The Reference Desk of Chinese Wikipedia is Wikipedia:詢問處. I have forwarded your question there.—Charlotte1125 2007年8月20日 (一) 11:54 (UTC)

• "跟人有仇" sounds informal. "对人有仇" is wrong, incorrect use. In Chinese, people say "Someone AND someone else have hatred", not "Someone has hatred against someone else." So, 对, which is like to or against, is not correct. 跟 can be used as "and" in daily usage, so it's fine. The proper way would be 和人有仇 or 与人有仇, while 和 and 与 means "and". You used the correct "仇" character, if you meant hatred or feud. --蒙人 ->敖包相会 2007年8月28日 (二) 22:29 (UTC)

[编辑] Suggestion

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

[编辑] Name meaning

I am sorry that I am posting something so trivial, but I was wondering what the name 苏曼柯 means in Chinese.

• It's just a name, which does not really mean much. Nothing special in this name, except that it sounds like a foreigner's name. If you have to know the meaning of those three characters one by one: 苏 may mean awake, revive, crunchy, Soviet, and it's a well known family name, probably ranked around 100th by population with each family name, and it's often used to translate a foreigner's name with pronunciation "su". 曼 may mean long, far, expanding slowly, etc., and it's often used to translate a foreigner's name with pronunciation "man". 柯 means wood handle, and it's often used to translate a foreigner's name with pronunciation "k". So, you see, it's just a name. Nothing bad. Sounds like a non-Chinese male's name. (Can be a Chinese's name also.) That's it. --蒙人 ->敖包相会 2007年8月28日 (二) 22:21 (UTC)

[编辑] please, an information

Hi there! Please, I'd like to know if Chinese Wikipedia is blocked now, this week, in China. I just found controversial or old information about it on the web... Can I count on you?

I'll wait for your reply. Thank you a lot!

[编辑] Information required about Chinese written language for Wikimedia error message

Hello. I'm updating the multilingual Wikimedia Error Message, which presently features both Simplified and Traditional Chinese on the one page. On the new version, I am splitting them out to have their own pages. To help in making this change, I would like answers to the following questions:

• What is Simplified Chinese for "Simplified Chinese" (for use in a link to show it)?
• What is Traditional Chinese for "Traditional Chinese" (for use in a link to show it)?
• For visitors to zh.wikipedia.org, what should be the default to display automatically? Traditional or Simplified? There is no way to access a user's Wikipedia preferences. The answer to this, I guess, is which one is used/understood by the most visitors to Wikipedia.
• Is Chinese a right-to-left language, or left-to-right?
• Are there any special formatting requirements for Chinese text? E.g. no boldening, because it makes the characters difficult to read? What about underlining on links?
• Is using the language codes "zh-Hans" and "zh-Hant" appropriate for Traditional and Simplified Chinese? Or should I be using something else?
• Finally, could people competent in Traditional and Simplified Chinese take the time to fill in the Simplified and Traditional Chinese rows in the table at the bottom of this page with the correct translations?

Thank you for for attention. - Mark 2007年9月1日 (六) 09:38 (UTC)

• "Simplified Chinese": 简体中文
• "Traditional Chinese": 繁體中文
• Wikipedia is blocked in China, so I think Traditional Chinese is most used/understood on Chinese Wikipedia. But I think checking the user language preferences in the HTTP request header is the better way if possible.
• Default Chinese fonts on Windows display italic type badly. So no italic type, boldening and underlining are OK.
• As the last letter in the language codes, "zh-Hans" stands for Simplified and "zh-Hant" for Traditional. More common codes in Chinese-language browsers are "zh-tw" (Taiwan) or "zh-hk" (Hong Kong) for Tradtional , "zh-cn" (China) or "zh-sg" (Singapore) for simplified.
• I will try it and post the message on Village pump (assistance) on this wiki.

--笨笨的小B | 20巷 2007年9月1日 (六) 12:29 (UTC)

Tectically, "zh-CN" means the Chinese language used in Mainland China; "zh-TW" means the Chinese language used in Taiwan; "zh-HK" means the Chinese language used in Hong Kong; and "zh-SG" means the Chinese language used in Singapore respectively. Actually, the "zh-MO" is the language tag that are used in Macau. Shinjiman ⇔ ♨ 2007年9月1日 (六) 15:16 (UTC)

[编辑] updated images

I uploaded some images for 南湖大山，中央尖，in the english pages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Range_Point , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanhu_Mountain. If you want to link the pics to the chinese version, welcome...

I think that uploading your images on Wikimedia Commons might be a better way, images can be used on any Wikimedia project wikis including Chinese and English Wikipedia ;) --笨笨的小B | 20巷 2007年9月2日 (日) 17:35 (UTC)

[编辑] what does 醒 mean as a name?

My friend got this name from his Chinese teacher--it's the second part. We already know what the first part means, but we can't find this one. Thank you all for helping.

• 醒 means awake. When it's used in a name, it's just a name. --蒙人 ->敖包相会 2007年9月14日 (五) 00:59 (UTC)
  • when 醒 in one's name,it usually refer to the onwer of the name can keep awake when others are sleeping.--一葉知秋→切磋 2007年9月14日 (五) 14:06 (UTC)

It was not regulated before 1978, but they adopted the Mainland Chinese standard in 1980s. Non-standard simplified characters will be included in Unihan Ext-C. Check 二簡字 as well. The only one I remembered is: 要 --> 又 + 女。--石添小草 (talk to me) 2007年10月11日 (四) 06:01 (UTC)

探花第已有數百年的歷史，當事人已不存在，能精確對其描述，僅能依據所存之史料。 "懷甯清真敦悅堂馬氏宗譜"，是目前存在對"敦悅堂"與"探花第"之來龍去脈描述最完整之史料， 網站上有介紹"探花第"者，其內容皆相差無幾，其一可能，皆參考同一史料來源。

廣讀史料，小心求證，僅欲提供世人對"探花第"的相關故事一個完整正確的資訊。

已再提供 "探花第/Temp"，期您明查。

[编辑] Question about the ancient name of India

Hi! I would like to ask if someone could translate the article 天竺. There are just few phrases, but they have information that is not known in other Wikipedias about the initial Chinese names for India. I have a limited knowledge of Chinese, if I understand well the name 天竺 became used during the Tang dynasty, but previously there were used also other names, one derived from Sindhu. However, I don't know if there is written in the article the etymology for 天竺, why these characters? Is there a connection with the meaning of bamboo for 竺 or is it used just for the sound (and if this would be the case, then what is the origin for the pronounciation tianzhu)? Thank you, 天竺 (留言) 2007年12月18日 (二) 04:56 (UTC)

[编辑] 集團軍

[编辑] Hello

I have a question. Is it possible to write an article about a German city and leave the name of the city unchanged or do I have to use the Chinese alphabet. If so, would you be so kind and translate the word Breinigerberg which means "hill of Breinig" to me in Chinese. You would be a great help. Thank you! --BBKurt (留言) 2007年12月24日 (一) 13:12 (UTC)

In Chinese Wikipedia, all articles should be in Chinese, including titles. There is no alphabetic in Chinese, but characters. All German locations are translated based on pronunciation. Breinigerberg is thus 贝瑞宁格堡 (bei rui ning ge bao, in en:pinyin). What it means does not matter. --蒙人 ->敖包相会 2007年12月25日 (二) 04:59 (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)

[编辑] 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)

• 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)

[编辑] 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.

[编辑] 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

[编辑] 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. ～～～～

[编辑] Wikipedia Logo

Hello. Japanese Wikipedians are now correcting the wrong character on the Wikipedia logo, more precisely ワィ to ウィ. It's a good chance for you Chinese Wikipedians to change 袓 to 維.

[编辑] 桴獩愠灰挠湡戠敲歡 <--- Translation in English?

Thanks in advance--151.74.193.211 (留言) 2008年6月19日 (四) 16:09 (UTC)

• 桴 = crossbeam
• 獩 = monster
• 慍 = hate
• 灰 = grey / ash
• 撓 = disturb / bend
• 湡 = water
• 戠 = sword
• 敲 = knock
• 歡 = happy

It is not a meaningful sentence, but just a combination of some random Chinese characters. -- 202.40.137.198 (留言) 2008年7月2日 (三) 08:13 (UTC)

[编辑] Account Usurpation

Hello,

Can someone tell me who I have to contact to usurp an account on this Wikipedia ? This account has only one edit, and avoid me to merge my global account.

Thank you.

PS : My home wiki is here : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Vincen

Vincen

EDIT : Found it. :)

Vincen, if you are not planning to use zh.Wikipedia, this one account does not prevent you from creating a global account. It merely prevents you from getting an account on zh.Wiki. --haha169 (留言) 2008年7月10日 (四) 22:46 (UTC)

[编辑] 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)

I'm not familiar with the system either, but as far I know this page may help you.[5] You may download the file and think about it. 悠长假期 踩踩 2008年7月20日 (日) 02:28 (UTC)

[编辑] Sentence translation request

你好, Could somebody please translate the sentence "The United Nations Portal" into Simplified Chinese for me. It's portal as in Wikipedia portal. I would try to do it myself but I want to be absolutely sure. Many thanks --Joowwww (留言) 2008年7月16日 (三) 09:45 (UTC)

It can be "联合国主题", literally, "The United Nations Theme", or "联合国主题首页", "The theme homepage of the United Nations". A portal is translated as a theme or a theme homepage in Chinese Wikipedia. --蒙人 ->敖包相会 2008年7月16日 (三) 16:30 (UTC)
