Why did you move UK Census to Census in the United Kingdom ? zzuuzz (talk) 11:53, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unirea
Unirea is a settlement in Transylvania, and there will be an article about it sooner or later in the English Wikipedia, too. Can I please ask you why you redirected Unirea to BP so that we can sort this out? --KIDB 17:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Choe Manri text in Hangul
Thank you for making the text and translation available, but I think it would be better to put longer pieces of text like yours on Wikisource and then include a link to it in the article, instead of having whole chunks of text in the article itself. IMHO at least the original Chinese for each paragraph should not be in the article.—Wikipeditor 21:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] European Council
I hope you don't mind the changes I made to the curreny composition of the European Council. I think it looks better organized this way. Joelito 15:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't mind at all! I agree with you that it looks better. Thanks for your hard work. – Kaihsu 15:31, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I think the new list is great. Would you mind if I added a col with the mth/yr when the state leader joined the council? It would indicate seniority, for instance Jean-Claude Juncker and Jacques Chirac are the most experienced members. Hard to find a short title to give that col, possibly 'Member since', but it refers to the persons membership, not the states. - Rye1967 21:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- All right, I am trying to do this now. – Kaihsu 18:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Urbis centre picture
Hi Kaihsu,
I just noticed your picture of the Urbis Centre Manchester. That's a classy picture - well done. -- Solipsist 23:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Straw Poll on Charities
Hello Kaihsu, since you've recently edited on the article Charities accused of ties to terrorism, I thought I'd invite you to express your opinion on a straw poll for an article title change now setup over at Talk:Charities_accused_of_ties_to_terrorism. Thanks! Netscott 18:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Higgs merge
You must not be aware that the issue of the merge you have made was under considerable contention without resolution on the discussion page. Please refrain from making contentious changes when there is no consensus to do so. -- Xerxes 17:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] European Federation of Green Parties
My understanding was that the EFGP is effectively the EGP now. There were some constitutional revisions allowing for people to hold individual membership and for the party to be financed by the EU via Regulation 2004/2003 which led to a name change. I think the old structure is gone now, though. Do you have any insights on the matter that go beyond my ability to Google-trawl for information :) ? The Tom 01:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you and ditto!
Thank you, Kaihsu, and the same to you! :) --Aled Dilwyn Fisher 16:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
I'm not sure I understand what you are doing on that page. You have added a section that only links to a terribly POV article about the 74 invasion. We (those of us that are neither Greek nor Turkish) are well aware that attrocities were commited on both sides and that Turkey invaded/intervened in order to prevent the furhter slaughter of Turkish Cypriots. I fail to see the NPOV in your edits. Can you explain your motives please Adam777 11:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I knew I was asking for trouble. My only intention was to supply Military of Northern Cyprus. Do whatever you will. – Kaihsu 11:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tantra
Please explain what purpose blank interlanguage links serve. -999 (Talk) 16:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- I think your computer has no support for Mandarin and Japanese characters, so they appear blank. They work fine for me, and nobody else has complained. – Kaihsu 08:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Integrity is word, that I didn't know what it meant till today (still learning English). You are very kind - I never takled to a big scientist like you. I hope you can stick around because that is what Wikipedia needs most, real professionals in all science fields, and peer review. Good luck! --5ko 14:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy
Hi, I noticed that you tagged The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy with NPOV and cleanup tags, and wonder what you were objecting to - the book itself is very much NPOV, but I thought I'd given a reasonably lucid account of what the book tries to say. If you have specific suggestions (or edits), I'm happy to see them!
Issues noted on the talk page will be especially appreciated. --Alvestrand 07:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gerard Batten AfD
Hi Kaishu,
While it's clear what will happen in the discussion, you are not supposed to remove the notice until the AfD is formally closed, which has not happened. I would not object to an early close with a result of keep, but you can't remove the notice without closing the AfD (which has to be done by an admin; don't know if you're one or not). --Trovatore 22:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- All right. I have closed the discussion now as an administrator. I have performed the administrative formality as much as I can, but there might be some things which I missed; other administrators will clean it up. It was a case of "speedy keep". Please refrain from reopening the issue as a deletion: other discussion should go on the article's talk page. Cheers. – Kaihsu 15:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:PrMadwebb2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:PrMadwebb2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oden 05:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Note: the image also lacks a detailed fair use rationale, see Wikipedia:Fair use criteria. --Oden 05:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please consider my proposal for a new Taiwanese Romanization system
New Proposal for a new Romanization system called the Goj System.
Note the following Changes from the POJ system. 1) ch ---> z 2) chh ---> x 3) kh ---> k 4) k ---> q 5) t ---> d (this would make it easier to learn English, because most english speakers pronounce t as in toy and d as in dog, but if you pronounce t to sound like a d, you are going to confuse students who are learning English. 6) p ---> v 7) ph ---> p 8) th ---> t
Notice, these changes will make the pronunciation more accurate and more similar to English pronunciation. Also, instead of having to use three letters to represent chh, you only need to use one letter x. Only one consonant is necessary for every sound.
The vowels are as follows:
A (mama) E (see) U (Sue) E (hay) O (row)
The nasal sound would be represented by the letter j, which is shaped like a nose. For example, the word nose would be spelled: pij.
The nasal sounds would be as follows:
aj, ij, --, ej, oj
"clothes" - saj "noodles" - mij "squeeze" - dej "surname Wu" - goj
Note, there is no nasal sound for uj. Therefore the uj would be used to denote the sound (uh), such as the word 'no' -- buj or the word to 'learn' -- uj.
The nasal sound can also be combined with other vowels. For example, the word "to wear" would be spelled 'xiejn', which is quite easy to type and to learn. "Please sit down" would be written 'xiaj ze" instead of 'cchiaN che'. Note that the similarity of ch with chh makes it difficult to quickly read the words, where as the difference between x and z is stark and easy to recognize immediately without the brain having to take a moment to figure out how to pronounce 'chh' or how to pronounce 'ch'. Also note that you only needed to use 6 letters instead of 9 letters to express the same phrase, making it much easier to write Taiwanese.
For some northern accents that believe there is a nasal u, it is actually a nasal i, with a u ending. For example, in the South, the pronunciation for sheep is ioj, but in the north, people say iju - a nasal i plus a u at the end.
The advantage of using the j to denote the nasal sound is that it is very visible and easily recognizable and can be typed easily whereas using a N or an elevated n makes it difficult to type.
In summary, the new system would allow Taiwanese to be pronounced more accurately. Tâi-oân-oē would thus be written as Dâi-uân-uē, pronouncing the d like 'dog' in english rather than the t as in 'train'. Also, note that the correct pronunciation of the word "Taiwanese" requires the pronunciation of the verb u more clearly rather than the verb o, which should be pronounced more like "zero" or "row" rather than "you".

[edit] List of political parties in Jersey
Hi, just looking through previous revisions of the above page and I note that you made the change to indicate that the Jersey Green Party reformed in 2005, having checked with one of the two people listed as members who had not heard this was the case wnated to check before I made any revision. Have heard no news on this though. – DariusJersey, 2006-12-29
- Thank you for pointing this out. I have no direct contact with the Jersey Green Party. My edits are based on what I get from my green parties contacts elsewhere and what is on the web. Please be bold and edit as you see fit. Happy new year! – Kaihsu 17:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
