Central Cross-island highway, Chi-Chi earthquake

[edit]

Hello Chingi. Thanks for linking in your article on the Chi-Chi earthquake to the one I started on the central cross-island highway. Despite using the 921 name for the earthquake I prefer the one you have used and so was glad to see that changed.

I was in a car on the highway just a little east of Tayuling when the earthquake struck in 1999 so both the quake and the highway have personal significance for me. I left Taiwan soon after that and I wanted to write the article to refresh my memory on the details of that night-time trip along a doomed highway.

I see that you have been doing a lot of work on Taiwan related articles. Congratulations for that. I'm really happy to see more information added to Wikipedia about Taiwan. I have very good memories of the time I spent there. By the way, I'm guessing that you are Taiwanese and I'm curious as to where you live in Taiwan. The nine months I spent living in Taiwan were mostly spent in Taichung, a city I became quite fond of.

Thanks for your reply. Good to know that Chi-Chi earthquake is the more official name. I think it's a sensible policy. Monopolising a calendar day for a particular event is not so fair I think. People for whom say, September 11 has had personal significance due to it being their wedding anniversary or whatever must feel somewhat annoyed by how the date is now used almost universally as shorthand in the media for the attacks on the U.S. world trade centre and pentagon.

Article Licensing

[edit]

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Taiwan Notice Board

[edit]

Hello,

Thank you for your modification on the List of Taiwan-related topics (by category). I am comming to advertise the Wikipedia:Taiwan-related topics notice board that I have just created in the hope that contributers on Taiwan related topics can have a place to discuss on different proposals. I wonder would you care for signing in as contributors? :) I hope this would be useful for us. Mababa 06:56, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Empty articles

[edit]

Please don't create article which contain nothing but a category. Such articles are candidates for speedy deletion, as they are considered bad. Such articles make the links change from red to blue, even though there is nothing behind the link, thus the fact that the article remains to be written is lost. The better way would be to create a list of missing articles in the category page - see for example category:Airports of Thailand which contains a list of article to be created. andy 16:44, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Townships and cities in Taiwan

Hello Chingi. I noticed you created some articles on the townships and cities in Taiwan. Would you mind helping relocate them from {{Taiwan-stub}} to {{Taiwan-geo-stub}}? Thanks. — Instantnood 09:15, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

Provincial Highway 63

[edit]

Are you the primary author of the Provinical Highway 63 article?

I did make a significant change in that there is no actual interchange with National Expressway number 3. It crosses it, but you have to go to the surface streets to actually change to National 3 (and vice versa).

The other is its start location. It doesn't quite start at the intersection of Guoguang Road and Zhongming South Road, but about a half kilometer south of it, and it begins about 200 meters south of the Taichung City line in Dali.

Do you mind if I make the changes myself to make the article more accurate? The reason I am so familiar with the road is that I drive it every month to visit my in-laws.

Taichung Line

[edit]

Actually, this should be called Mountain Line as that is the name used in both Mandarin and ENglish. ludahai 魯大海 (talk) 01:09, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Hwa-tung Line

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Hwa-tung Line, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No assertion of notability.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. —Politizer talk/contribs 16:49, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tatung University

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Tatung_University, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.CorrectlyContentious 18:34, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
