Hello, Jiawen. Just pass by and say hi. (I visited your wbsite and left a message on your guestbook. You may have already known who I truly am. A tip: Did anyone come from wikipedia?) Ktsquare (talk)

Thank you

I just wanted to thank you for the information you've added on Chinese romanization. It's really helped me in my research. Almafeta 22:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Chinese Novels

Hi Jiawen! I saw you supplemented the list of Asian novels - I have to confess: this is a field about which I wish I knew much more. Question: Would not you like to help create an introductory chapter on the world history of novels, before the article goes on with the tradition which shaped our western concept of what we will call a novel in English today? In return I'd do my best to bring your words into the German version of the article which is marred by the same sad deficit, --Olaf Simons 18:46, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Confucianism

Hi, you removed my edits about 性善説 and 性悪説 from the article. However, these names and the contents of the sentences are definitely right; the words and even the pages about the two things exist in Japanese Wikipedia and the names are in Chinese Wikipedia in simplified characters. However, I don't know the correct Chinese name for them, unfortunately. In Japanese they are called "sei zen setsu" and "sei aku setsu". The name was invented by the philosophers themselves I believe. Anyway I should have put the Chinese names for these things on them, but the names are certainly correct. --DannyWilde 08:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Hijra

Hello :) I noticed you added the description of Hijras "living as women" to the transgender page. This doesn't entirely match my own personal experiences with Hijra in India, or the wikipedia hijra article, which states they are third sex with a non-male and non-female gender identity. There has been a political campaign by Hijra in India to have recognition of their third-sex status on passports. Can you clarlify for me why you want to state that they "live as women"?

Your Mediation Case

The mediation case on Zhuangzi has been accepted. Please tell me your side of the issue, as objectively as possible, preferrably in a concise format. Thanks, hopefully I can help. Karmafist 12:15, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Zhuangzi

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

This can be especially important when, as here, your edit is extremely difficult to spot. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
