About "Uncle Bus" Article

[edit]

Please do not change the name of the article any more, the article was created by me and I have already explained why it should be called "Uncle Bus" in Wikipedia in the article "Bus Uncle". --- CMB Transit, May 26, 2006, 16:01 (BST)

If you really feel that the title of the topic should change, you are always welcomed to have an arguement with me off the Wiki system. DO NOT modify it yourself before we have discussed about it and have come up with a final decision, I've reverted your changes just because you didn't ask my permission as the creator/starter of the topic. By the way, the topic has already established its fame so I think it is more imappropriate to change the title now. --- CMB Transit, May 26, 2006, 17:31 (BST)

Xiangqi image

[edit]

Hello! Thank you for adding very nice pictures to Xiangqi! They significantly improved the article. One image still is not yet Ok, this is which was intended to show checkmate situation. However it is not checkmate, black can capture red pawn with his advisor. After that the red cannon doesn't attack the black king anymore. You can fix this e.g. by replacing this red pawn with a black advisor. Andreas Kaufmann 13:31, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is checkmate. Nomatter whose turn it is, the black side loses. If it's the red side's turn, the player can do a cannon jumpover and capture the king. At the same time, if it's the black's turn, nomatter what the player does, the cannon is still in the checking place. Nothing can be avoided. Deryck C. 07:22, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

About the Locator Maps for the 18 Districts of Hong Kong

[edit]

Hi, Jerry. Several weeks ago, we have been talking about a project for making the maps of the position of a particular district within the territory of the Hong Kong SAR (the so-called "highlight map"). Actually, I have been making a new version for the highlight maps that I uploaded before, as you said that the old version was not very good. :-P After replacing the old versions with the new versions, I started to make the map for some more districts. But as I was about to upload my map for Central and Western District, I saw that you have made another version too, and you have made a template. The template is super great! (I modified it for a little bit) Thank you for your contribution! But I think your highlight is not clear enough (because of the colour combinations). I tried to put the one that I made into the template, and see whether it looks good. You may go to the page and see whether it is good. (I have made the maps for Sha Tin, Tai Po, Sai Kung, Tuen Mun and Central already.)

Map of Hong Kong

[edit]

Great map! Immense effort appreciated! However, some minor errors. I'm sure that Ap Lei Chau, Green Island and some other islands around Hong Kong Island are administered by the district councils on the island, not "Outlying Islands". Dragons Bay

Right... in fact not many islands are part of the Islands District. Only Lamma, Hei Ling Chau, The Brothers, Kau Yi Chau, Soko Islands, Po Toi Islands, Peng Chau, etc., are part of it, but not Kau Sai Chau, High Islands, Ping Chau, Round Island (Ngan Chau), Middle Island (Tong Po Chau), Magazine Island (Fo Yeuk Chau). Ma Wan and the northeastern corner of Lantau, including Yam O and the majority of Penny's Bay, is part of Tsuen Wan District. And again, it would be great to have the maritime boundaries between the districts, and between Hong Kong and the mainland. — Instantnood 15:59, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
Umm... let me know when u're not sure, and I'll tell who's in who's out. And in fact you can read the district council constituency maps, which are available at the external links section of the district articles on Wikipedia. — Instantnood 16:10, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

I think the principle should be that something deserves an independent entry when it is either informational (like the division of HK districts) or interesting or both (like the HK flag articel :-D). R there any official guideline for that? I am not sure ... By the way, r u sure that there r traditional Dai Pai Dong in Wan Chai? where r they located? i am thinking to go to take some photos for the article. --K.C. Tang 06:57, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

About the district maps again

[edit]

I think what you meaned was that it is a little bit girlish to put Khaki and pink together, eh? :-P Well, but at least it makes a clearer indication than the versions that use grey, white or green to indicate the landmass. But generally, I believe that we just have to, based on the khaki-and-pink version that I have just made, and modify the colours so that it looks nicer. (We can discuss about the use of colour with some Hong Kong Wikipedians.) Other than the combination of the colours, I think everything else works out pretty well. (Do you agree with that? :-) ) For instance, since the map is used to indicate the position of a district within the territory of the Hong Kong SAR, we don't have to include any part of Shenzhen or any zoom-out map showing the entire China. This was done in the khaki-and-pink version that I have just made. Also, it would be a good idea to add two square boxes at the left-hand upper corner showing which colour is for which. This was also done. Again, we may discuss with some Hong Kong Wikipedians to get some inspirations.


By the way, I have a silly question to ask. What is the difference between JPG and PNG formats? PNG is a pretty new format to me. I used to use JPG for any graphics that I made. Why is it better to use PNG? What is the principle behind? Would the size of the image file be larger if we use PNG?

Again, thank you for your effort on the template. It is really good and well-organized to use a template. But the reason why I prefer using "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" to using "Hong Kong" is that many foreign readers - like those Americans :-P, who are not care about international affairs at all, may still think that Hong Kong is an country. As a result, they may think that those 18 districts are the provinces in a country, rather than the sub-divisions within a province-level city. (Especially if those maps don't have the scales, they don't know that everything in the map is just something within a city.) Well, Wikipedia should take care of those "silly" people. :-P It is no harm to write "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region." Furthermore, I heard that, in the flag-raising ceremony at Wanchai on 1/7/2005, the English M.C. also said "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" EVERY TIME! So, it is pretty official to say in that way. :-P

Another thing... In your user page in Wikipedia, you said you know a little bit Japanese. And in your ICQ info, you said you are going to learn French. It is really good to be multi-lingual! I have started learning German too. Maybe we can contribute to some Hong Kong-related articles in those Wikipedias in foreign languages. For example, recently I have contributed these: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Karte_von_Hongkong_mit_Ortsnamen.png http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:WusteGobi.jpg

As a Chinese, I really think it is pretty sad that Chinese Wikipedia has very few articles (a lot less that English, German, Japanese Wikipedias) even China is the mosyt populous country in the world. But frankly speaking, some articles in Chinese Wikipedia are pretty crappy. I don't have the motive to improve Chinese Wikimedia if I have to do it alone. As you are an active participant in Wikipedia, should we encourage other Hong Kong Wikipedians to contribute more in Chinese Wikipedia and the Wikipedias in foreign languages?

Recently, I see that there is a "Cantonese Wikipedia" under test. Those "words" used in Cantonese Wikipedia are not even words at all! It even promotes some bad culture of using Chinese language. Hm...I think most of the participants there are Hong Kongers. What do you think about that? :-/

[edit]

I saw that you tagged Image:Happycorner.jpg with Template:PD-China. However, I believe that template is inapproprate since the image is less than 50 years old. The image is also imprinted with a non GFDL compliant restriction. If the image is to remain on wikipedia, it must be released either under GFDL or into the public domain. --Jiang 17:37, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I note that you've now tagged the image as being under the GFDL. The "Wikipedia only" restriction that's embedded in the image itself is incompatible with the GFDL, and the image compresses better as a PNG, so I'm making the derivative version Image:Happycorner.png with the restriction notice removed. Just keeping you informed of this. Bryan 17:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing, a section about the legality of flag desrecration can be started. I have found this: http://law.hku.hk/lawof/UploadFile/986.htm:

"ANOTHER CONVICTION FOR FLAG DESECRATION

April Fifth Action Group activist Leung Kwok-hung is no stranger to the law banning the desecration of the Chinese and Hong Kong flags and emblems. He was convicted for a second time in March 2002 and fined HK$3,000, along with another group member, Koo Sze-yiu. The pair were charged in connection with a demonstration in Central in May 2001. The court heard that two petals of Hong Kong’s bauhinia emblem had been blacked out.

Mr Leung argued that everyone should be entitled to exercise freedom of expression, and that the law under which he was prosecuted, the Regional Flag and Regional Emblem Ordinance, should be scrapped.

However, the magistrate did not see the case in this light. In addition to fining the pair, he ordered Mr Leung to pay the HK$3,000 good-behaviour bond imposed on him in February 2001 for his first offence. The pair’s supporters paid their fines, which meant they did not have to serve jail terms. Mr Leung said at the time of his first conviction that he would not appeal against the sentence because he did not believe he could win.

A previous desecration case—the first since the relevant laws were enacted in July 1997—went all the way to the Court of Final Appeal. The Court of Appeal found in favour of two activists accused of desecrating the Chinese flag, arguing that the laws were an unnecessary restriction on freedom of expression, and therefore in breach of both the Basic Law and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. But the Court of Final Appeal re-imposed the guilty verdicts imposed by a lower court, arguing that the laws imposed a permissible restriction on freedom of expression.

Four weeks after their conviction in the flag desecration case, Leung Kwok-hung and Koo Sze-yiu were jailed for 14 days for shouting slogans in the Legislative Council chamber during a question-and-answer session with the chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa. That incident took place in October 2001, shortly after Mr Tung delivered his annual policy address. It was the fifth time Mr Leung had disrupted a Legislative Council session, and the second time he had gone to jail. The activist said it was unfair to jail him as he had only been expressing his political opinions." Thoughts? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 19:26, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Template & Collaboration

[edit]

Hey Jerry. Lemme try to explain the title tool first. In Chinese wikipedia, u can use -{T|correct title}- to modify the title; and with the new title, you can even apply regional translations, so the whole title modifier can become e.g. -{T|zh-cn:布什;zh-tw:布希;zh-hk:布殊}-. I don't know who exactly invented this small but mighty tool, but since it looks like it's unique to Chinese wikipedia, I suspect it comes from zh:user:zhengzhu, who invented the entire Simp/Trad translation system in Chinese wikipedia.

There's also something called "A標籤" in Chinese wikipedia and I can't seem to work out what it is. I suspect it's a translation system that applies throughout the entire article, rather than for an individual case like -{zh-cn:布什;zh-tw:布希;zh-hk:布殊}-. I tried googling zh.wikipedia.org but to no avail.

As for collaboration between zh and en HK users... I'm afraid I won't be of much use in leading the project, since I'm currently back in London and will be quite busy with work. I'd be happy to do take part if time allows me to do so, though. Hello World from Chinese Wikipedia seems to be the most active Hong Konger over there, and he's an admin too -- so I suggest you contact him instead if you have any collaboration projects in mind? Good luck! -- Tonync 21:06, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Title template

[edit]

The template you referred to in page am730 is specifically implemented in the software for the Chinese wikipedia, mainly to support cutomized conversion between traditional and simplified Chinese in the title, but people quickly found out that it can be used for other purposes as well, like the case of am730. It is fairly easy to implement this function for other languages like English, and I will be happy to do so. However you should first check with the the specific language community to see if such feature is desirable. I suggest you ask around at village pump or post to wikipedia-l and wikitech-l, and contact me again. (I am kind of on break now, with new jobs and everything...)

The maps for UrbCo and RegCo will basically be Hong Kong Island + Kowloon + New Kowloon, and the rest, respectively. But since they're scrapped in 2000 we cannot show the current (2005) coastline. Have you got a RegCo library card by the way? You're living in the New Territories right? — Instantnood 17:06, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
I'm double checking the Hong Kong-mainland China sea boundary.. I'm afraid it's not too accurate... Seems like I'm a bit demanding ain't I? — Instantnood 17:14, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
Hmm.. is there a library out there? Or people prefers going to City Hall? Actually the Islands District is only one among the the nine districts of the New Territories.. perhaps it was relatively remote and people won't normally include it when talking about "New Territories" in common speech. Just like few consider New Kowloon part of the New Territories, and many consider Tseung Kwan O, Clear Water Bay, or even Sai Kung part of Kowloon. — Instantnood 17:23, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
I love maps, but I'm idiot in computer graphics. Are you having any trouble with the sea boundaries between the districts, and between Hong Kong and mainland? — Instantnood 17:23, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

I received your message, Jerry. Actually, I don't know much information about that. I nominated these two articles mainly because I want to know more about that. :-) But anyway, should we make an outline first - like what information should be included, and what should not be include? In that way, we can have the "headings" for each section of the article first. I think the picture (masterpiece? :-D) that you guys are talking about can be added later. The texts should be ready first. - Alanmak 20:55, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

cyanide

[edit]

Hi Jerry, you wrote, of course cyanide is reversible...otherwise who has swallowed cyanide MUST die.... This is not true. Once cyanide binds complex IV it will not come off. Whether you die depends on how much cyanide is swallowed not whether it's binding can be reversed. If you swallow enough to itochondria you are dead. That is not the only reason it is a bad example for non competitive inhibition since cyanide does bind the active site and competes with oxygen for that active site! This example is more like a suicide inhibitor. David D. (Talk) 16:16, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi jerry I did some more research and you are right with regard to the non competitive nature. With a google search i found web sites claoming competitive and non competitive. However, I trust the following source:
http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev.pharmtox.40.1.353
Quoted from the text:
Inhibitors of Complex IV, Cytochrome c Oxidase
Complex IV, cytochrome c oxidase (COX) (EC 1.9.3.1) is a heme/copper terminal oxidase that uses cytochrome c as electron donor (Figure 1C). According to the classification by Nicholls & Chance (40), COX inhibitors fall into four categories: (a) heme-binding inhibitors that are noncompetitive with both O2 and cytochrome c (e.g. azide, cyanide, and sulfide), (b) inhibitors competitive with oxygen, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO), (c) inhibitors competitive with cytochrome c (polycations); and (d) noncompetitive inhibitors not affecting the heme groups, such as phosphate ions and alkaline pH.
With regard to reversible or irreversible, again i found claims for both but nothing concrete. More research is needed but I still tend towards if not irreversible then 'effectively' irreversible. David D. (Talk) 18:57, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed that the wiki page for cytochrome c oxidase claims irreversible for cyanide. I'm not sure of the basis for this claim. David D. (Talk) 22:28, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging

[edit]

Thanks for uploading and Image:Nuwatemple.jpg. I notice they currently don't have an image copyright tag, so their copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the pictures then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the [[:Image:|image description page]] where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Thryduulf 16:39, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:MJ tiles.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

  • The copyright holder, and
  • The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

  • The copyright holder gets the best protection of his work by licencing their work under an open content license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. The GNU Free Documentation License is another choice for licencing one's work. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag: {{GFDL}}.
  • The copyright holder can also release his work into the public domain, see here for images released into the public domain.
    • Images from certain sources are automatically release into the Public Domain. This is true for most governments like the federal United States government. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments) However not all governments release their work into the public domain, such as the UK government (See herefor images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.
  • Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of Fair Use. To see if this image qualifies and then how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For any other sources of for more information see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that if you don't tag your images, they will be deleted.

P.S. If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --Thryduulf 16:41, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hong Kong-pronunciation

I saw that you made a pronunciation file to go with Hong Kong.

Hello? Just because I don't have an account doesn't mean I don't deserve your kind response to my inquiry. Thanks. 199.111.230.195 04:03, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't perform any cut and paste move. Use the move button instead, to avoid losing edit history information. — Instantnood 17:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration case Instantnood 2 closed

[edit]

The Arbitration case on which you commented, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Instantnood 2, has closed. The Committee's decision is as follows:

Instantnood, Huaiwei, and SchmuckyTheCat are all placed on Probation for topics relating to China for a year. This means that any sysop, in the exercise of their judgement for reasonable cause, documented in a section of this decision, may ban them from any article which relates to China which they disrupt by inappropriate editing. In doing so, the sysop must notify the banned user on their talk page, and a note must also placed on WP:AN/I. They may post suggestions on the talk page of any article from which they are banned from editing. This remedy is crafted to permit them to continue to edit articles in these areas which are not sources of controversy. In addition to this, Instantnood is restricted to proposing only one page move, poll of editors, or policy change relating to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese) per week, and reminded to make useful edit summaries.

Yours,

translations

[edit]

I don't know about transliterations versus direct translations and mostly stay away from arguments about it. I do hate seeing revert wars about it. And I know visually once it's gotten past one of them I like the infobox on the side rather than inline. SchmuckyTheCat 15:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WTO

[edit]

yes, but this is a kind of an ad hoc article, it is almost bound to be messy ... u know the funny thing is that the office i'm working in sits right opposite the Victoria Park, so i just went there during lunch time to "feel the atmosphere", and took some pics. u should go to take a look. :D --K.C.

In light of the abuses that Huaiwei has hurled at both novacatz and I, as well as the lack of consensus of the move to Chinese New Year, I will be starting a WP:RfC soon. Any comments before I do so? enochlau (talk) 22:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Thanks... although we've recently found out that there's an Arbitration Committee ruling on this - Huaiwei and Schmucky the cat are on probation on Chinese-related articles. Your comment is much appreciated at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Huaiwei_and_User:SchmuckyTheCat_violating_probation_order. Thanks again! enochlau (talk) 03:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
