Hello. I doubt that the etymology of the island in Hong Kong is from Mandarin. The earliest British maps usually referred to it as Mah-wan, and the form Ma Wan first appeared in a 1904 map (and is the modern spelling, hence should be the main form); judging by the date it is very likely this name is from Cantonese, the dominant language in the region at the time. Also, please try to properly cite the form without the space (the last two quotes support Ma Wan not Mawan), or else I might have to send it to RFV. – Wpi31 (talk) 09:16, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed that you added many cites to Shau Kei Wan. Official and common place names like these don't need to be cited IMO given the amount of news articles that mention them probably goes into the thousands. I'm generally more concerned on citing less common alt forms and names of minor features (hills, villages, creeks…), since these are way more likely to be challenged at an RFV/RFD. Of course, any sort of contribution is always appreciated. – Wpi31 (talk) 16:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Generally speaking the place names follow the Hong Kong Government Cantonese Romanisation, which is a incoherent system based on the Eitel and Dyer Ball systems. There's quite a number of exceptions and I don't really bother distinguishing them apart. – Wpi31 (talk) 01:59, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
May I log your citation collection at Citations:transgender in the campaign at en:Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride/2023? I think a broader audience would like to see this. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:26, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
I am a native of this area. The old US Army map you have added in May 2020 is incomplete. Namely, in that map, only the county-level subdivision "Tieling" and the district subdivision "Yinzhou" of the prefecture-level city "Tieling" is in that map. Both county-level subdivision "Kaiyuan", county-level subdivision "Xifeng" and district subdivision "Qinghe" is missing. The missing area accounts for more than half of the total area of the modern-day Tieling City. This is a reflection of the fact that this particular map produced by the US Army is directly based on the data provided by Japanese-fascist-militarist invaders.

Don't know why we "click" but I sometimes think you're the closest person to me in terms of actual project operation. Now don't get too happy. Poor Equinox will never learn Chinese. Equinox ◑ 10:33, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, following your comments at User_talk:JMGN#user_name, would you be able to kindly point me to "the rules and policies of WMF" that may relate to signatures? In short, is it just a matter of, say, not defaming and not using obscenities? Or perhaps also not masquerading as someone else? —DIV (49.186.112.234 06:57, 6 December 2023 (UTC))

Hey Joggy! Did you know about Appendix:Largest cities in China? Could be useful for new entries... SpAway (talk) 23:59, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Ahom term 𑜏𑜦𑜂𑜫 seems to be Cognate with Chinese term 神 , the meaning of the word is Deity or God in both languages. Can I add it in the Etymology of 𑜏𑜦𑜂𑜫 as a cognate?? KhiLanTzi (talk) 09:30, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for categorizing books.
I uploaded a spreadsheet for categorizing books. The spreadsheet contains additional information within it. It has sheets for NDL books, zh and jp book categories.
Download the spreadsheet: You'll find the spreadsheet link here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VesiHBbjQD8D2b4_5qnYw_59J08rsjPF/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114690240001680834038&rtpof=true&sd=true
Add categories: There are designated columns named "CAT_1", "CAT_2", and "CAT_3" where you can add new categories for the books. Be sure to only add new categories that don't already existing ones.
Share it back: Once you've added your categories, share the updated spreadsheet back with me. I will add by bot.
Important Note: I will assume you've double-checked your additions and won't be reviewing them for errors.
To avoid duplicate works, please leave a message about what you will be adding to avoid duplicate works: c:Commons_talk:Library_back_up_project#Add_category_using_spreadsheet. 維基小霸王 (talk) 12:32, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
