Do you think you could do a page like that for the english wiki? i haven't had the time Scrugbyhk 02:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just created this article on this very topical subject. The subject matter would make for a good featured article, so I am hoping to enlist your help to get it there qualitatively. Maybe you would be interested in translating it? The most important sources are in Chinese. ;-) Ohconfucius 04:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well I suppose the London Gazette does actually still use them 2008 New Year Honours, but most newspapers no longer do so eg The Guardian style guide, Acronyms and abbreviations Wikipedia isn't really a formal document, but an encyclopaedia after all, so are usage tends toward that of general newspapers. David Underdown (talk) 13:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also meant to say that otherwise there was a mix of usage in the article, not using full stops in his postnominals, but using them in the Honours list. In addition, the London Gazette provides the official record of all British honours, and can be searched (back to the 1660s!) here. Obviously with Chinese names it's worth trying both orderings of personal and family names. The search facility isn't 100% due to the way older additions have been scanned in and automatically converted to text, so I've been building up an index of Honours lists, see User:David Underdown/Honours which may mean you can find the relevant information manually if you already know what year an honour was given. David Underdown (talk) 13:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Gazette did revamp their website in October last year, and the search is now better than it was, I don't know if you've tried again since that time. Bear in mind also that The New Year list is usually published at the end of the previous December - the award of Honours always includes the phrase "graciously pleased", so if you enter that as you search term, and restrict the dates to say 25 December and 3 january of the year you're actually interested in, you should get somewhere. Similary the birthday honours are normally inlate may to Mid June, "raciously pleased" should work there too, but "birthday" is also quite useful.

Well, besides the fact that it should have been put under the 17th rather than the 19th (which the commenter should've just went and fixed themselves for you), there was no inline citation for the hook, which we're trying to make a requirement. It is a very nice article though, try adding in some citations and you could probably get it to GA status rather easily. Wizardman 15:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clithering, it would be useful if you could use the template {{LondonGazette}} for references. It may have settled down now, but there have been some big changes over time in the way they put the urls together, if the templates used, it means all the references can be fixed automatically when that happens, just by updating the template, otherwise it's necessary to find every single article which uses the the gazette and manually edit them, which is a deeply tedious task.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Congratulations on your latest article which I noticed because of DYK and enjoyed very much. I have tried to contribute a more international style of English, I hope it helps.

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/help/privacy#real_name

" Can I make an FOI request using a pseudonym?

Technically, you must use your real name for your request to be a valid Freedom of Information request in law. See this guidance from the Information Commissioner (https://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/freedom_of_information/detailed_specialist_guides/name_of_applicant_fop083_v1.pdf ) (January 2009).

However, the same guidance also says it is good practice for the public authority to still consider a request made using an obvious pseudonym. You should refer to this if a public authority refuses a request because you used a pseudonym.

Be careful though, even if the authority follows this good practice, the pseudonym will probably make it impossible for you to complain to the Information Commissioner later about the handling of your request.

There are several good alternatives to using a pseudonym.

Use a different form of your name. The guidance says that "Mr Arthur Thomas Roberts" can make a valid request as "Arthur Roberts", "A. T. Roberts", or "Mr Roberts", but not as "Arthur" or "A.T.R.".

Women may use their maiden name.

In most cases, you may use any name by which you are "widely known and/or is regularly used".

Use the name of an organisation, the name of a company, the trading name of a company, or the trading name of a sole trader.

Ask someone else to make the request on your behalf.

You may, if you are really stuck, ask us to make the request on your behalf. Please contact us (http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/help/contact/ ) with a good reason why you cannot make the request yourself and cannot ask a friend to. We don't have the resources to do this for everyone.

Please do not try to impersonate someone else. "

I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Edward Tyrer and am uncomfortable with some of the text in the article — not that you included irrelevant information or forgot to mention important topics, but simply that the wording isn't easily understandable. I'd be willing to help with cleanup, but there are some passages that I don't understand, so either you'll need to reword things yourself, or I'll have to ask you to explain certain passages. If we can resolve this issue, the article will be ready for DYK. Nyttend (talk) 22:08, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help! I just now reread the article and found far fewer difficulties, and I decided to change everything else that I could find, which wasn't very much; most of the bits that I changed were cases of going from ’ and ″ characters to ' and ". Could you please review it to ensure that I didn't change the meaning of anything? When you approve my changes or when you correct them, the page will be ready for DYK.

A tag has been placed on Template:Judiciary of Macao requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Green Giant (talk) 02:40, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Dame Rosanna Wong Yick-ming.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Clithering, thanks for creating Derek Cons!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Especially for biographies of living people, references should be WP:INLINECITED and multiple.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Charles K. Kao. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Matthew_hk tc 10:52, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:BNO advertisement.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) 17:26, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Clithering! I saw you stating that you are interested in articles related to Hong Kong literature on your Chinese Wikipedia userpage and your previous edits on Hong Kongese literature articles. I would like to ask if you are interested to join the recently proposed WikiProject Hong Kong literature, a voluntary project which encourages Wikipedians to edit articles related to Hong Kong literature? Cheers. --Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 08:12, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Prince of Erebor, thank you for your invitation and your interest in my work. I appreciate your asking but I don't think I am qualified for the job, having focused mostly on biographies and history, rather than literature. My burdens in real life have prevented me from taking on further responsibilities here as well. I wish you could find the right people you need sooner or later. Feel free to let me know if I can be of other help. --Clithering (talk) 11:52, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Clithering,

I am sorry that I shall type the following message in Cantonese for the sake of convenience. You can definitely choose to delete this message after reading it.

我頭先睇到一啲IP用戶喺中文書面語維基百科嗰度做緊地區詞替換，包括將「女皇」替換成「女王」，「英國皇后」替換成「英國王后」，呢啲好明顯係違規嘅。唔該閣下幫手睇實佢哋。

閣下可以望下218.188.194.170嘅所有編輯，「英國君主配偶列表 」、「英皇按察使 ‎ 」仲有唔少條目都受緊影響。佢仲夾硬要將多倫多華人用開嘅「皇帝街」、「皇帝站」（有《明報》同《星島》作為來源）改成冇來源嘅「國王街」、「國王站」。希望閣下處理一下呢啲破壞同埋不當編輯。唔該晒！ 852hk (talk) 17:31, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
