Hello, you seem like a person that has some insight into Chinese history. I have seen this article [[Cho La incident]] and I find it very biased and it seems unauthentic. The sources are largely Indian, and I could not find any neutral sources for this article. The casualty count and results also seems very odd. Do you have any insight into this matter?

200 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
The 200 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal | ||
Hi Zanhe, its quite a time since I gave you a DYK award for 25 articles and now you have made 200. Well done. In the meantime you have helped save Wikipedia from being seen as biased towards American culture, British buildings, and celebrity sports stars et al. You have tried to redress the balance and your contributions remind us that most people do not live in America or Western Europe and there are other parts of the globe. I hope you continue to enjoy writing and I'd like to thank you on behalf of the community, the DYK project and me. Victuallers (talk) 12:06, 14 October 2015 (UTC) |
- Thanks Victuallers for your constant encouragement, especially after the discouraging Signpost op-ed. -Zanhe (talk) 19:47, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- I stood back from that one although I noticed that the title (hook?) was incorrect. I know of no one who "proudly" displays incorrect information. We are doing good stuff in an imperfect way but with a very good error correction method. I think we need to celebrate our editors rather than lauding the perfection of inactivity. The main page is not the product. Thanks again Victuallers (talk) 07:05, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Since you are significantly involved in the creation of articles relating to PLA/CPC officials, you might be interested in Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2015_October_15#Template:First_PLA_lieutenant_generals. --benlisquareT•C•E 03:24, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Benlisquare: I've voted keep. I see that you've commented out all the red links, but don't think that's necessary. There's nothing wrong with red links that are plausible articles. -Zanhe (talk) 22:19, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
8, not 9 viceroys in Late Qing?
Z Why the English wiki have 8, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Viceroy_of_Liangguang, etc.? Thanks. Skigg (talk) 02:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Skigg: Sorry, don't quite understand your question. Could you please elaborate? -Zanhe (talk) 07:49, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Sorry Z ... Late Qing had 9 viceroys, not 8. I re-read the English wiki posts Viceroy of Liangjiang, both states 8: is it because they used "China proper' which exclude northeast three provinces (Manchuria)? Thank you for a quick reply. Skigg (talk) 15:02, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Skigg: The Viceroy of the Three Northeast Provinces was not established until 1907, so late Qing had eight viceroys except for its last four years. It should be better explained in the viceroy articles, all of which are poorly written. -Zanhe (talk) 22:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
anti missionary riots in China
Z, would you pls kindly take a look at this Anti-missionary riots in China? I'll add more as time permits. Thank you. Skigg (talk) 15:41, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Skigg: I've copyedited the article a bit, as well as the other riot articles you created. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 20:07, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Oh Lord, Z, thank you so much! Really liked your opening sentence of Jesuit. And all the extras. As a newbie, there's a tiny voice on the back of my mind .. that it might be deleted as I'm writing it. So ... Anyway, I'll try to do better. Again thank you. Skigg (talk) 21:48, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia Asian Month is COMING!
Hi Zanhe ,
The Wikipedia Asian Month will begin in less than an hours, and once again, thank you for signing up! Let's help the world know more about Asia! Below are a few reminders for you:
- Please check out the rules here. Some rules have been adjusted—the most important being that on the English Wikipedia, stubs may be expanded with some limitations.
- Do take the time to read the Q&A if you have any questions, or ask on the talk page.
- The list of participants has been alphabetized so you can more easily find your name and report your contributions.
- There is a template that you can use on your user page. {{Template:User Asian Month}}
Enjoy the Wikipedia Asian Month :) --AddisWang (talk)

DYK for Sun Zhigang
Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:02, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Zanhe, I was wondering whether you could take on this review, or at least look into the sourcing issue raised here. The request—now over three weeks old—is for someone familiar with Chinese articles, and I immediately thought of you. Thanks for anything you can do here. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for thinking of me, BlueMoonset. I already looked at the article a month ago and copyedited it a bit, but decided it could not be fixed without significant effort. And the creator has made problematic nominations before, two of which I rejected, see Shekou and Hatton Road. So I'm inclined to agree with Yerevantsi's original review. -Zanhe (talk) 20:12, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- I greatly appreciate that you were willing to go back to it to finish the review. Thank you! The nomination should be formally rejected in the next few days. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:25, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
