Porcelain

Hi - your additions re. 'true' and 'artifical' are not correct. These terms are obscure and archaic at best, and are based on a very limited understanding of the subject. I appreciate you have added a reference, [1], but not only is one non-authoritative but it's for different material: such boxes are not made of porcelain, rather they are made of enamelled metal. Where the confusion may have arisen is that in the USA enamelled metal is called porcelain enamel: see [2], and the removal of mention of these at [3] and the associated comment at [4]. Also the reference from Google Books, Syracuse China, makes no mention of 'artificial porcelains'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.126.226.123 (talk) 17:43, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Lacquerware. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Trafford09 (talk) 16:53, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Attribution?

I don't understand what you meant when you said "attribution to former contributors is still needed". Could you clarify? Quigley (talk) 18:52, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Refering to WP:COPYWITHIN... Since so much got moved/copied, I think it's proper to leave a notice at the talkpage. Although, now, on closer look to the edit summaries in the "view history", it does seem to give proper credit. So do as you will, I don't feel strongly about it. Have a good day, Cold Season (talk) 19:49, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Liu Yan article thanks

Thank you very much for your swift response to my Project:China article request for Liu Yan (dancer). It was written far more excellently and thoroughly than if I had attempted it. As I was quite taken with her story after reading about it, I appreciate that it now has a place here. Good job again. SamuelRiv (talk) 01:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

please STOP WarriorsPride6565. He is removing words again, from every single article he is editing. Many of them are not being fixed, such as this one which I only reverted recently. Fixkihitter (talk) 07:21, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

I think I will go to WP:ANI for input soon, depending on my spare time to follow up on this issue. It really needs attention, I will notify you when I do. -- Cold Season (talk) 07:49, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

They just disappear by themselves, I've asked people this problem before and they said I may have an bug in my browser. Those random words and phrases that keep getting removed are always highlighted in blue, I really don't know how it happened. Maybe I should change to an different account, I know how to change my Ip address as-well, maybe that would help HERE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS: http://i40.tinypic.com/2dlvfr.jpg

This is the reason why random words keep disapearing and I have too keep editing over and over again. (This is the zoomed version of wikipedia, that I copy and pasted. See the word "Flight" highligted and underlined in blue?) WarriorsPride6565 (talk) 4:08, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

A draft article for the history of the Great Wall of China

Hi Cold Season, I see you've been working on the Sino-Xiongnu War and have been patrolling the Great Wall of China article, so I venture to ask: would you be interested in helping me write an ambitious article covering the whole history of the Great Wall of China? I have a draft up in User:Deadkid dk/History of the Great Wall of China, and while I have made some progress, I have come to realize that I will not have the time and resources to complete this endeavour within a reasonable amount of time (years) - especially when real life commitments started to take its toll on my personal research time. I'd hate to abandon the draft, and the topic is one that the English Wikipedia sorely needs. So if you have time to spare, I'd be glad if someone as knowledgeable as you would be willing to help out :) _dk (talk) 03:42, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, too much credit though. I'm just a layperson on such historical and cultural things; it just peaks my interest. When finishing that article, I was planning to go somewhat idle and just do small edits awhile until the next thing. Most of the used resources for that article were available online for me to compare and built on (my university library is like the opposite of this area of expertise). I'm interested though, if I can convince myself to properly work on it due to time constraints. Cheers, Cold Season (talk) 21:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

No worries, we're all laypeople here on Wikipedia, editing because of our interests :) Thank you for your interest! _dk (talk) 01:35, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Cold Season, the History of the Great Wall of China article is up (after like 2 years). If you're still interested, maybe you can take a look at it :) _dk (talk) 02:48, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

I definitely will. It's a beautiful article and I can see the effort put into it. Nicely done! --Cold Season (talk) 19:52, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Tocharians and Tarim Basin related articles

Hi, can you look at the two articles. User:94.175.118.39 continuously keep re-adding information that have been previous removed to articles such as Tocharians and Tarim Basin. I noticed you and several other editors have reverted this anonymous user's edit in the revision history, but the anonymous user keeps coming back to the articles. This time, the user for example has added a reference [5] (the user copied it word for word from the source material, i.e. "The documents date..."), but the reference only supported the first sentence, and several other claims in the paragraph are not supported by any references.--Sevilledade (talk) 16:51, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Sevilledade. Yes, I have both those articles in my watchlist. Quite a deal of synthesis, unconstructive POV pushing and other things too, I see someone else has reverted it already (otherwise I would have done so too). He does remind me of another user, the edit styles, persistence, and the topics in where they edit just reminds me a lot of it. --Cold Season (talk) 18:10, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

How is this personal analysis ?

How is it you're trying to saying I'm disrupting the page WHEN I HAVE CITATIONS + CLEAR EVIDENCE. Seriously...what more do you want? only takes commonsense to understand those interpretions.I don't understand why you think my sources are not worthy.

http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/21/12/2265.full

" Although our samples were from the same geographic location, a decreasing tendency of the western Eurasian-specific haplogroup frequency was observed, with the highest frequency present in Uygur (42.6%) "

http://www.khazaria.com/genetics/uygurs.html

" Table 1 on page 2434, titled "Haplogroup frequencies in East Asian populations", presents the following Y-DNA haplogroup frequencies for the Uygurs living in Urumqi:

3.2% had Y*(xA, C, DE, J, K) 3.2% had C*(xC1, C3) 6.5% had E 25.8% had J (the most frequent haplogroup in these samples, found in 8 of the men) 3.2% had N1*-LLY22g(xN1a, N1b, N1c) 6.5% had N1b 3.2% had O1a 3.2% had O3a3c*-M134(xO3a3c1-M117) 3.2% had O3a3c1-M117 19.4% had P*(xR1a) 22.6% had R1a

The Uygurs of Yili have the following Y-DNA haplogroup frequencies:

20.5% had Y*(xA, C, DE, J, K) 2.6% had C*(xC1, C3) 7.7% had C3c 2.6% had DE(xE) 12.8% had K*(xNO, P) 2.6% had N1*-LLY22g(xN1a, N1b, N1c) 5.1% had N1c1 5.1% had O3* 5.1% had O3a3c*-M134(xO3a3c1-M117) 5.1% had O3a3c1-M117 15.4% had P*(xR1a) 15.4% had R1a "

94.175.118.39 (talk)) 1;12, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

No mention of the article topics in said sources. You posted that in the articles Tocharian, Tarim Basin, and Tarim mummies, thus making original research, trying to imply a connection uncited, and thus misrepresenting sources. Also, take it to the article talk page as I will ignore this private conversation, since several editors have reverted you, warned you, and raised the issue but you refuse to adress it and persisted with it for the past weeks. --Cold Season (talk) 17:23, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Genocide

Hi. I think it's a bit inappropriate to include as a "source" a quote that only refers to the Nanking Massacre in passing as "genocide". I think you need to find a source that makes it more clear that it was a genocide (or widely believed to be one), otherwise it's strictly POV. I mean, seriously, if all it takes is throwing in a random quote like that, then it would be easy to load up the article with all the books and papers by people who claim the Massacre never even happened. Wouldn't that be a fun game to play?

Think of it this way: if it is widely believed to be a genocide, then there should be no problem rustling up an army of books and articles that clearly support that view. It's not like you find a lot of denialists outside of Japan, right? CüRlyTüRkey^Talk_Contribs 06:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I guess someone went ahead and did so before me, while restoring my source [7] and added several others. --Cold Season (talk) 16:13, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Actually, Harryzilber just put back your ref, and then added four more---one of which was a dead link, the other three of which didn't even mention the word "genocide". CüRlyTüRkey^Talk_Contribs 23:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

The source that I provided from a peer-reviewed journal does describe it as "genocide", which you removed. I will now point this discussion to the article's talkpage—if you wish not to accept my edits—and not reply here, because it's quite clear where this is headed. --Cold Season (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

I do not want to do that, I find the process a nuisance, and have not done so as of now. There is a reason, since you socked before on that article and now again as IP making similar edits, while you have stated in a previous report that you want a clean start with a new account. Well, move on and make a clean start with your new acc. I see you going back to old issues that got you temp ban in the past as sock, now editting as IP to avoid scrutiny. --Cold Season (talk) 23:01, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

About your "restore"

Well, that's not the only information I removed, but apparently you are only interested in that "dick sucking" part of information. It simply tells that you are a racist. So what's your problem, hater? Stop being destructive! It is not difficult at all to find some weird thing in your culture, too. No such an article which talks about race on Wikipedia is gonna like this. --Šolon (talk) 00:36, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

That is all ad hominem and you plainly blanked info that is properly and reliably cited without a reason. Anyway, see User_talk:Cold_Season#About_the_deletion_in_Manchu_people, which contains your comment that is contradictory to your actual actions (notwithstanding your misleading edit summary). Also, it would be best to avoid your personal attacks, meaning commenting about me, lest be blocked for it. Take your issue to the article talk page if you please, I know I did and you did not. --Cold Season (talk) 00:55, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey Cold Season,

Why did you delete my links posted on the Ming Ancestor Mausoleum page?

I happen to be a qualified historian and respected expert on the Ming Ancestor Tomb. I have been there three times and have published a scholarly article about it in a jouranl published by Australia National University that is listed in the Wikipedia article's bibliography.

Please do not blindly and stupidly delete any of my postings again you FOOL!

"Thanks" for casually calling me a fool; didn't know we were on that footing of "familiarity". That won't incline me to cooperate though. Spam is spam; your whole contribution history consists of you adding external links to your site. You obviously have a conflict of interest to promote your site. I could just report the spam, which is reason enough for a block or possibly blacklist. That would make sure that it won't happen again. Very well, keep your links.

Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 21:12, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Some comments

Firstly: Han–Nanyue War. Should it be renamed it to Han–Triệu War because of various reasons as China doesn't consider Nam Việt and the Triệu Dynasty as part of their own history. They only treat them as vassals. Furthermore, Nam Việt and the Triệu Dnasty are somewhat considered to be a Vietnamese nation and part of Vietnamese history; similar to the title Ming–Hồ War and not Ming–Đại Ngu War.

Secondly: Deep looking into history, the 111 BC conflict is not the only war. The Triệu Dynasty had already fought a war against the Han dynasty between 183 BC and 180 BC. In 180 BC, as the result of Empress Dowager Lu's blockade of trade, Triệu army attacked Changsha country and the war lasted until 180 BC after the death of Empress Dowager Lu. Apparently, there were 2 wars between the Triệu and the Han dynasties. So how should we treat the 183 - 180 BC war? ༆ (talk) 05:22, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

(1) I disagree with that point or reasoning for it, but you could make a move request if you wish. (2) If there's ever a similar-named article created, then there's a need to disambiguate but I don't think there's a nessecity for it now. --Cold Season (talk) 12:18, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Tirgil34 again?

There's this new user, Antonio von Horde, who is obsessed[8][9] with proving that Genghis Khan was a Tatar Turk, alleging that proofs of Genghis's Mongolian ancestry are "pro-Chinese and Persian falsifications". There's the classic racist attribution of a "golden bushy beard" to the man, Jin "aggressive"ness, rant about "Uyghurstan", and associated amateur etymology. He's probably related to Timerching, but I'm wondering if you see a link to User:Tirgil34. Shrigley (talk) 19:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

That is Tirgil34, alright, by the mannerism alone. However, I could not find anything concrete. He has resorted to hit-and-run accounts to avoid scrutiny, which makes it difficult. So it's hoping that he slips up to give us adequate reason to request a clerk to check for other hidden accounts. I did reported one of his accounts this week, but the case was bureaucratically closed as outdated (less spare time for me to follow articles and his new tactic...). --Cold Season (talk) 12:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Rock-paper-scissors

Hi Cold Season, I see you edited the Rock-Paper-Scissors article to read that the game was definitely mentioned in ‘Wuzazu’. Is this right? The earliest edits don’t make this clear, e.g. “The history of games using shapes formed by the hand can be found in the Chinese Ming Dynasty writer Xie Zhaozhi's (谢肇淛) book Wuzazu (五杂组), which contains the first known mention of such games, though the rules are described as "unknown".” (Article as of August 2012)

Does ‘Wuzazu’ refer just to hand games in general, or specifically one involving three competing signs for rock, paper and scissors? RLamb (talk) 19:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

The secondary source refers specifically to "rock, paper, scissors" (as in the game) and mentions that it was known as hand command (in wuzazu). The source doesn't say that the rules are unknown, but it does not give further details about the signs. I can't conclusively say that it is the former or latter since it hasn't be stated. Cheers, Cold Season (talk) 19:57, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

At present the section is saying both that R-P-S began in Han China (Moore and Sward) and also that it originated in Edo period Japan (Dr Linhart). But it can't be both. Either the game began in Han China, survived unchanged into Edo Japan and then spread from Japan to the west in the 1920s: or it reached the west long after it was invented in Japan as part of an evolving tradition of handgames traceable back to Han China. Know anyone with a copy of 'Wuzazu'? RLamb (talk) 23:05, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't. --Cold Season (talk) 15:53, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Cuju

The FIFA ref you provided in which Cuju is presented a forbearer of association football is "misleading". Cuju does not have any connection with any code of football.

The root of this was the World Cup in 2002 in which China first entered a team. FIFA were keen to promote their football product in an opening Chinese market so rebranded association footballs origins. This however does not make their marketing work historically correct. In an encyclopedia this should be the case.

Other codes of football such as Rugby, Gridiron, Australian rules football and Gaelic football all have the same origins as association football. None of the governing bodies in any of these sports supports FIFA's rewriting of football world history.

The reality is football can be traced back to a variety of very similar medieval ball games played at Shrovetide, Eater and Christmas in many European countries. The influences for these games were Celtic, Roman and Ancient Greek. There games are also older than Cuju. It is now a part of football history that FIFA tried to rewrite the history of association football and inadvertently the history of all other codes.

How about you post this on the more-public talkpage of the article? Also, first, you're the one who made that interpretation of cuju with association football. The text only states that cuju is the earliest form of football, nothing else. Second, the cited text does not state anything about "association football" or its origins. Simply said, you're just making fantasy tales between your ears about what is stated in that wikipedia article.

Chinese Gardens

I wrote a stub article for each of the Chinese Gardens in Shaoxing and now they are deleted. Where did they go? and why? is it possible to recover them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.246.240.62 (talk) 04:05, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm not aware of those articles. I can't find them. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Although, you would be able to find it when renamed and moved, since you would be automatically be redirected from the original title. If deleted, you can recover them at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion if you still have the article titles. --Cold Season (talk) 08:34, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Ly–Sui War

All other articles about the wars between China and Vietnam are exclusively using the naming style of putting Chinese words before Vietnamese ones on the title such as Han-Nanyue, Ming-Ho, and Sino-Vietnamese. Maybe it is more appropriate to rename the article to Sui-Ly instead. I would prefer to add Vietnamese diacritics too. Cheer. ༆ (talk) 02:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

If you wish to do so, you may move it or make a technical request to move it (since I've already created few redirects). I'm neutral to the order or inclusion of Vietnamese diacretics. I don't prefer the latter myself. --Cold Season (talk) 09:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

• Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
• Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
• If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

TemplateData is here

Hey Cold Season

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Need help moving article with "Dynasty" in their titles

Hi Cold Season! I've been moving lots of articles on Chinese history to their new titles with uncapitalized "dynasty". I'm mostly done with the Ming and Qing, and I've done several on the Han, but there are a few pages I can't move. Economy of the Han Dynasty is move-protected. The other ones (presumably with an edited redirect) are Chen Cheng (Ming Dynasty), Economy of the Ming Dynasty, History of the Han Dynasty, History of the Ming Dynasty, Islam during the Ming Dynasty, Tibet during the Ming Dynasty. I'd be very grateful if you could use your superior powers to move them to where they belong! Otherwise keep up the good work! All the best, Madalibi (talk) 08:28, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Remind Me More Politely About Citing Information

Hello, Cold Season, I know that it was my mistake for not citing information but can you PLEASE remind me next time more politely? Thanks! Dustinliu76 (talk)Dustinliu75

You interacted with me with along the lines of "U mad bro? or just jealous?" (that was one of your socks that I quoted) and you ask me to be more politely in speech. Now that's some sanctimonious fluff right there. I do not have to be anything more than straightforward to you, which is not impolite and more than you've given me. Anyway, I haven't talked to you for months. --Cold Season (talk) 00:21, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Ok, I am very sorry that I talked to you in this way. But your tone was kind of impolite. Anyways, this was two years ago so can we put this behind our backs so we can move on? Please reply, thanks. Dustinliu76 (talk)

(1) My tone.... or my manner of speech has been quite consistently straightforward; maybe it's the content that you find negative. I don't know. (2) I responded to the matter at hand, because you decided to bring "this" up after we haven't interacted for many months. I can assure you that I haven't thought about this at all, but sure. --Cold Season (talk) 16:31, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I brought this up because I felt bad about the things I said to you.Dustinliu76 (talk)

There's nothing to feel bad about, since I do not particularly care or have interest about people's minor mannerisms (those not attacking and malicious). My point was that one should also reciprocate what he or she expects from others, otherwise it's hypocritical. Anyway... I find straightforwardness more appropriate than feigned formality. --Cold Season (talk) 19:21, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Works cited

The short and long citations are two parts of the references supporting the content of the article, and some editors prefer to put them in the same "References" section. Both styles are in use in a large number of articles. Please don't edit war to force your preference of style. Kanguole 09:00, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

• Firstly, I did one (partly) revert [10], which is not edit warring; you did two [11][12]. So just don't even go there.
• Secondly, you explicitly stated that "these are references" when I changed the header from Works cited to Bibliography. I pointed out that a Bibliography is not the same as Further reading. This is a simple matter. There's no mention that you didn't preferred the "style", so don't tiptoe around next time.
• Thirdly, you know very well what the original style of citations was (long form citations) when the article was beyond a stub, namely not your preference of style. You can have your way, but don't be a hypocrite. --Cold Season (talk) 09:58, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

You started it.

I have always found it predictable that exposed sock puppet users (like yourself) often retort with the useless "no you" reply when feeling cornered. Considering that User:Balthazarduju and I have a long-standing, differentiated, and considerable contribution history, I will just say... feel free to report as I feel no concern for your "counter" accusation. There's nothing to "bring on", since this is not a battle but you being disruptive. And just so you know, your swearing and cussing (rather than engagement in civil discussion) in your talkpage has been duly noted and added to the edit warring report about you. --Cold Season (talk) 11:52, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Figures

I think the best thing to do is just combine both figures. "Presumed dead" and "killed" is the same thing anyway. None of it is contradicting the other. Just a suggestion. Supersaiyen312 (talk) 23:53, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Presumed dead and killed are not the same. Anyway, see the article talkpage. --Cold Season (talk) 00:12, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Alright then, "presumed killed" and "killed" are the same then. Happy? Supersaiyen312 (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

It's already over, at least hopefully for now. Saying "Vietnamese report" is fine, you don't have to remove it.[13] However, they are all "still" saying the same thing, so it does not matter who says it. I only removed it because you said, "since when is a figure from chinese newspaper an vietnamese figure".[14] Again, it does not matter "who" says it. (For example, if the actual "ships had sunk" then there is no denying that the ships had sunk then, as it's most likely true.) And "dead" and "presumed dead" are the same thing. This wasn't supposed to be some big thing.

And I said I don't care about your conflict of interest defending China, because I defend China too. So if we're both defending China, then I don't care. Only I also go for both sides. That's why it said it does not matter about your conflict of interest (if we both like China) and I like both sides. If the conversation is over, then there is no need to unnecessarily go off-topic. Again, that's why I said your COI doesn't matter. Even though it's clear what your main area of interest is, if you're still angry about the "conflict of interest" thing, then I think it's best if we remove our conversation, avoid each other, and act like we never crossed paths. (and this whole thing was probably a mis-understanding anyway.) It's over, so leave it alone. And lets try to shake hands now and walk away. Supersaiyen312 (talk) 20:44, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes, my point was that the sources state that it is a Vietnamese figure and you shouldn't have removed it, and I only unwillingly made that compromise because you kept removing that it was a Vietnamese figure.

You state that you defend whatever, but I care about what reliable sources explicitly state. I do not give you my consent to remove the talkpage discussion, even if you're throwing accusations without evidence at me rather than comment strictly on content, since I have nothing to hide. You may strike your comments as warranted by the Wikipedia guidelines, but I will not enforce your habit of removing or refracting talkpage comments, which has been in place since your sock puppetry period, your post-sock puppetry period, and even this dispute (without permission). I will not actively look for you. I hope that was your final say, so yeah... "let's". --Cold Season (talk) 23:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Here we go in circles again... First of all, I was only blocked for sockpuppetry, not "refracting talkpage comments" when I was new. And don't comment on something you don't know the situation of. And again, I was allowed to remove your off topic harassment. And now it looks like you still want to drag this out after all. And no, I didn't keep removing it.[15][16][17] We've already gone over this again and again now, and it looks like it is not going to end afterall. Supersaiyen312 (talk) 23:33, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Mentioning someone's sockpuppetry history is not harassment. Anyway, you know what's particularly striking; you quoted diffs that show you adding uncited information in front of references (the last diff even showing you stating that I "admitted" that your added bit was supported by the ref, while I admitted to no such thing). Like I said, I care about sources. You did remove it [18][19]. --Cold Season (talk) 23:54, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

It is harassment in this case if it has nothing to do with the discussion, and you are only resorting to it because you have nothing else to say and ignoring the rest of the conversation. Supersaiyen312 (talk) 00:10, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

I was referring to you, but I'll wait for you to back up that I didn't substantiate it [21] rather than throw it around. And don't post on my talk page until you do. --Cold Season (talk) 05:16, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Since we already came to agreement, I had no plans to, but now I need to make sure you're aware that this page is not "yours." It belongs to the community, and you are not entitled to prevent me from posting here. betafive 05:21, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

You have no plans to, because you talk nonsense that you can't back up and not because we came to an agreement. And yes, I am aware, let me rephrase it: don't bother me on my talk page with this nonsense. --Cold Season (talk) 05:37, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

How bout this: you keep yours out of article talkspace and off ANI, and I'll give the community's User talk:Cold Season page wide berth. Deal? betafive 05:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Filial piety

Hi Cold Season, thanks for your continued contributions. I've noticed that you removed the entire section about filial cannibalism from Filial piety. While the section did probably have WP:UNDUE weight and should be summarized, I don't feel removing the entire section is warranted. Filial cannibalism is well documented and was often praised in Chinese history, and I think it deserves a section in the article. -Zanhe (talk) 23:26, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Ancient humans

Regarding your undo: "It's not 60; And this is worded worse, since it now seems that Euro/E.Asian have 20% of the total INTROGRESSED seq. The text talks about the population and not individuals anyway". You are correct in numbers, I meant 600 (broadly) and apologise for the error. The researchers may have extrapolated to the population level but the study was based on individuals - a future broader study may find an even higher percentage so it is not definitive. The current wording indicates that in any one Eurasian you will find 20% Neanderthal genome, and that conflicts with a DNA figure of 1-4% given earlier in the article. However this is written, it will need to reconcile or explain this difference. My understanding is that the researchers were able to recover 20% of the Neanderthal genome after "pooling" the results of the human sequences. Over to you. Regards, William Harris • (talk) • 23:46, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

"The current wording indicates that in any one Eurasian you will find 20% Neanderthal genome, and that conflicts with a DNA figure of 1-4% given earlier in the article."

(1) I do not see how the wording indicates that though, so... that would be on me. If it does indicate that, it would indeed be wrong. I don't not oppose a re-wording anyway. What do you suggest? (2) I do think the your new wording also raises confusion, which is the reason to revert.

"My understanding is that the researchers were able to recover 20% of the Neanderthal genome after "pooling" the results of the human sequences."

Your understanding is correct. --Cold Season (talk) 00:10, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Weaver Girl and the Cowherd

@Cold Season: "The stories of Manora/Manohara told in Southeast Asia are related to the stories of the Cowherd and the Celestial Weaver Girl, popular in China, Japan and Korea" and another quote, "It is generally accepted that the tale of Manora (Manohara) told in Southeast Asia has become conflated with the story of the Cowherd and the Celestial Weaver Girl, popular in China, Korea, and Japan." Here are the two quotes that you were asking for. (120.144.19.54 (talk) 10:04, 23 September 2017 (UTC))

Sure. Related and conflation isn't really just a differing variation, so that could be worded more precise. --Cold Season (talk) 11:06, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I will make that change. (120.144.19.54 (talk) 11:52, 23 September 2017 (UTC))

Thanks for the images!

Hi Cold Season, thank you so much for uploading the pictures of the disciples of Confucius! I've seen them a lot and thought of uploading them, but was unsure of their provenance. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 19:55, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

No problem. There's like 106 more portraits in the museum database, but the files are of much lower quality, so I'm kind putting off uploading those for now (especially since the files need cropping). The 14 files uploaded were available high quality, only because the museum used them for the website of the Confucius exhibition earlier in this year. --Cold Season (talk) 20:50, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Disgust and Public display of affection

I don't know what problem you have for the Manchus, but I think we had this conversation before. If you don't mind, we can do this over and over again.

Quotes are optional. I have provided pages for each reference which matches the content very well. These are all reliable source. However, you are actually the one that is specifically targeting Manchu people. You have been doing this for many years by misstating the reference. Your quote and reference are meaningless because it does not matter how many reference you are citing, it all came from Shirokogorov's research in 1924. The book has already mentioned that his research is based on his visit to Amur River in Northern Manchuria in the 1900s, that is far away from giving a conclusion for a culture. You can't play WP:I just don't like it for your own interests.--Šolon (talk) 23:07, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm not WP:I just don't like it. You are. You write with a sole MANCHU WP:POV by willing trying to curb any info about Manchu people's cultural practices that isn't to your liking. And even now you are arguing in that way here. It is well cited to several researchers, such as Barre, Henderson, and others.

Secondly, info about cultural practices for HEALTH or others does not belong in an article about AFFECTION.

Thirdly, info about disgust need to be about disgust, as explicitly mentioned in the sources and not from own biases of what's disgusting.

Fourthly, a quote is needed, as you need to establish that your info is in fact factual and relevant by providing a quote when it is contested. If you refuse to do so, it means that you show explicit unwillingness to resolve an issue (and that's on you).

Fifthly, do what over again? Fixing you trying to remove well cited info (about Manchu cultural practices) that you don't like, and fixing you trying to misconstrue sources in places that are not related to the topic?

--Cold Season (talk) 23:18, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

I have reproduced the discussion at Talk:Public_display_of_affection#Disgust_and_Public_display_of_affection. --Cold Season (talk) 23:35, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

First, I am trying to reach a consensus instead of arguing.It doesn't matter how many researchers you have. They all came from Shirokogorov's research, Barre, Henderson, and others are just citing the reference. Why don't you post their bibliography? Because you know that'd absolutely against your favor.

Secondly, my source is about affection of Chinese parents towards different situation.

Thirdly, your quotos have nothing to do with disgust. My source even mentioned that Chinese and Vietnamese consume human placenta, which is done by psychologist Rachel Sarah Herz. It is obviously not from "own biases of what's disgusting."

Fourthly, Quote is not required as you can see in so many Featured and Good Articles. Pages number is good enough.--Šolon (talk) 23:42, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Fifthly, you are overly dedicated on posting these stuff in many articles. You are obviously WP:I just like it. Like what I told you, the research was done in a visit in Northern Manchuria, but you are focusing on playing WP:I just like it and wouldn't listen.

Orphaned non-free image File:Reggie Long, Rorschach, no mask - Doomsday Clock 3.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Reggie Long, Rorschach, no mask - Doomsday Clock 3.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 22:36, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hello, please have a look at WP:ES, which says that "According to the consensus policy, all edits should be explained". It appears that the vast majority of your edits are not.

When present, at least one of your recent summaries is vague (no errors specified), even though the guidelines suggest to "Avoid vagueness". Another of your summaries does not actually summarize the edit (i.e. it adds a new reference but the summary omits that), even though the same guidelines say "Avoid misleading summaries". Daisy Blue (talk) 02:04, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

If you have issues with the edits, go bring it up on the article and not here. Secondly, if I say that references do not contain a specific info and I add new references in their place, it would be common sense that the new ref does (?). --Cold Season (talk) 02:55, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

I will kindly ask you to remember WP:NPA

Claiming that I am acting "fraudulently" in edit summaries is a clear violation of WP:NPA please kindly cease such behaviour and focus on the matter of the article content. Simonm223 (talk) 13:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
