Harry's Legend

Hey - Do you want to see if Harry's Legend is mentioned in any Chinese publications?

The difference between that and the SDK pirate is that Harry's Legend was mentioned in notable publications (I.E. Electronic Gaming Monthly: [1] ) - Also, I tried using Wiktionary and I cannot determine which Chinese readings are used for Harry's Legend) WhisperToMe 16:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Super Donkey Kong NES Game

I got up to Level 6 (One of the water worlds) - the beaver boss is impossible - We may need for someone who knows hacking to make the boss able to kill.

Anyway, I can help you with Level 2 (Mushroom), since I was able to get past it. WhisperToMe 20:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, sorry, I got tired of the game, it's very crude by any commercial standard. --Voidvector 18:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

流氓

Hi, I think we need 流氓 at Mandarin slang. I just ran across this term and don't see it in the article. Badagnani 16:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

咪咪

Hi, can you add 咪咪 (breasts)? (Are these the right hanzi?) I don't think we have this one. There may be a few other missing terms for this as well. Badagnani 17:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Sri Lankan Civil War

Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Sri Lankan Civil War

I was holding off further discussion in this mediation until the outcome of the deletion debate on Commons. Given that the image that was the subject of the dispute has now been deleted due to copyright issues, is there any reason to keep this mediation open? If none of the parties express a wish to continue with the process, I will close the mediation in a few days. WjBscribe 01:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Response to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann

Hi, I have removed the MWWS See also because MWWS is already linked from that section in context. That is enough because it is doubtful if MWWS is applicable and this is presently being discussed on the MWWS talk page. TerriersFan 23:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Blizzard Entertainment wrong?

I don't understand how I was wrong about Blizzard Entertainment publishing the original Command & Conquer for mac (not the pc version). I got that information from IGN Entertainment as well as this one guy on Brood War USA-2 (because too many damn trivia bots are in Brood War USA-1 to even have a discussion). I believe the person's username was rev_israjor or something like that.

SC novel merge

I think it's a good idea to merge the novels together. As far as notability of StarCraft subjects go, establishing notability for each individual novel is a massive and probably futile task. I support the idea of merging into a single article, but I don't agree merging into a collective Blizzard novels article. Other than obvious filesize issues, in a collective Blizzard novel article it would become difficult to provide commentary (for instance, Metzen's influence overall on the StarCraft novels) towards any particular series, especially as they are most disconnected. I think it is a good idea to go for a StarCraft novels article, with the other series dealing with their own. It's also easier for editting: I know nothing about the Warcraft or Diablo novels, I'd only work on the StarCraft ones, meaning that I will have to neglect the others. It becomes much easier overall to deal with each series individually than lumping them together. Oh, and having "list of" in the title is misleading, its best not to do that when the contents will not be a list. -- Sabre 15:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:US Federal Holidays

Hello! I saw you reformated this template. Is there a Wikipedia policy about using default colors? Because I use colors all the time – I think it makes it look more interesting. You could always change it to a different color though. What do you think? () 01:43, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't think so. It just that the dark blue caused the view/discuss/edit links hard to see. --Voidvector 09:52, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Yichang bridges

Hello Voidvector. I'm wondering if you could help me sort out the bridges in Yichang, China. There are two suspension bridges near Yichang. Both are listed in the list of longest suspension bridge spans. The shorter one is upstream near the 3 Gorges Dam, and the larger one is downstream from Yichang. You moved the article for Yichang Bridge to Yichang Xiling Bridge. The picture in that article is of the bridge downstream. I've confirmed this by looking at pictures linked to both bridges at Google Earth. However, the Xiling Bridge according to Structurae.de is the bridge upstream near the Dam, which I've also confirmed by matching the pictures. When you moved the article, you mentioned a list in the Chinese version of Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I don't read Chinese, so I can not determine the names of these two bridges. It is certainly possible that Structurea does not have the names correct. If the bridge downstream is the Xiling Bridge, what is the name of the bridge near the dam? If you can clear up the naming problem for these two bridges, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks. -- ☑ Sam 07:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

From the looks of the chart you put on my talk page, it looks like it was correct before you moved the article, which also agrees with the original references I used. I'm going to move Yichang Xiling back to Yichang. Thanks for the translation. -- ☑ Sam 11:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

story of 250

Good luck trying to find a verifiable source for this, but:

… Long, long ago during the Waring States Period (475-221 BCE) there was a well-respected, and rather wealthy ambassador named SuQin (苏秦) who travelled throughout the kingdoms of China delivering messages between emperors and such. Though generally liked, he had some enemies, and upon entering the Qi kingdom (modern day Shandong) some thugs killed him.

The Emperor of Qi was really pissed off, as SuQin was a friend of his court. He laboured to find a way he could discover the killer and then had an idea that I’m sure made him feel royally proud of himself. He cut off SuQin’s head and placed it on the capitol’s main gate with a sign that said: “One Thousand Gold To The Killer Of This Enemy of Qi!”

A greedy bunch the Qi, and four guys, instead of one, showed up to claim the reward. With a dilemma of who to hold responsible, the Emperor asked the men how he should divide the reward. They all agreed it should be split four ways - 250 each. So, the Emperor decreed (c’mon, how often do you get to write that word?) that the punishment be given to all four and informed his guards to:

“Ba zhe sige erbaiwu tui chuqu zhanshou! / 把这四个二百五推出去斩首! / Take these four 250s out and remove their heads!”
