==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy nomination of [[:Category:People executed by Australia by firing squad]]==

== [[Fouke Monster]] ==

[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Category:People executed by Australia by firing squad]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#C1|section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a [[:Category:Disambiguation categories|disambiguation category]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories|category redirect]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia featured topics categories|featured topics category]], under discussion at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|Categories for discussion]], or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

Can you examine this article for any problems ? It is about a bigfoot that has been

a problem for [[Fouke,AR]] since the 1940s.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 07:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:In my opinion not notable enough. Perhaps add a section in [[Fouke, Arkansas]] dealing with it instead? --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 07:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Category:People executed by Australia by firing squad|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to 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 deleted 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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-catempty-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:UnitedStatesian|UnitedStatesian]] ([[User talk:UnitedStatesian|talk]]) 19:23, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Tried that and someone threw it out.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 07:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

== [[Yuanling Yuan]] ==

In addition, have been there myself.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 07:58, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:Not as far as I can see. All your edits to the article are still there. Now that you're an established editor, people are less likely to throw your edits out. But in your edits adding it, explain why it's notable -- perhaps it attracts tourist? Perhaps it leads to periodic panics? Explain. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 07:59, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello Nlu. Yuanling left Shanghai when she was 5 years old. Do you really think that the category "Businesspeople from Shanghai" is warranted in her case? I suppose she did not make any business at toddler's age in the regard that's required by this category... Cheers, --[[User:Gereon K.|Gereon K.]] ([[User talk:Gereon K.|talk]]) 20:28, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

It does both, and the last reports were in 2000. Does'nt mean its gone. The town may use this as a tourist attraction, just as Roswell,NM had done w/ a UFO crash, once a Interstate highway is completed. It goes CLOSE by Fouke.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 08:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:I tend to think that she's still a businessperson from there; it doesn't require that the business to have been conducted there... --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 20:50, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

::Having lived in Canada after the her 5th year she is more Canadian than anything. I was born in a neighbour city because my city did not have a hospital. Does that make me a Wikipedia of the neighbour city? Rather not. --[[User:Gereon K.|Gereon K.]] ([[User talk:Gereon K.|talk]]) 21:01, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

In the middle of town, is a some kind of depiction of the creature, w/ artwork of it all over the town.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 08:09, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:::I understand your thoughts. I respectfully disagree, because being "from" Shanghai does not make her not a Canadian. I am not saying that your position is not a reasonable one. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 15:22, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Will add the section.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 08:00, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:OK, and then once you finish doing so, you might want to put a speedy tag on the separate monster article. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 08:01, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Section placed. How do I have seperate article terminated ?[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 08:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:Add a <nowiki>{{db}}</nowiki> tag on it. In this case, <nowiki>{{db-g7}}</nowiki> will tell the admin who sees it that you want it deleted. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 08:36, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Done so, as persuant to what was indicated.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 22:22, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:Right now I just don't think I have the bandwidth for it. Sorry. Things may or may not change once I go on a six-week leave starting next week - depending how it is dealing with baby. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 15:59, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

To try to get his attention I started to trail banners of text from my edit by using the user summary, which probably wasn't the best approach for it got my talk page blocked. I eventually called my IP provider and they gave me a new IP...and while it is against wiki policy to do such things I hope it will be forgiven. I also would like your help. I don't exactly know how you can...but is there any way I can file a full complaint? Thank you, [[User:Chooserr|Chooserr]]

== Assist with vandalism on article "Prostitution in South Korea" by likely sockpuppet of China-proti ==

== kthx ==

Hello. Can you please help with some of the vandal activities on this page? There appears to be two ppl who have been using sock puppets to get POV into edits. One's edits have been reverted. The other one, Marryhence should be sockpuppet of Bablos939, and also highly likely to be Chinese-proti who you have dealt with in the past. Their specific edits can be found in the Foreign prostitutes in South Korea section and Chinese subsection. The edits insist things like "The South Korean newspaper “The Dong-a Ilbo” reveals that sex workers in the so-called “휴게텔” are all composed of Chinese women" when the source article clearly doesn't say that. Whenever the articles are reverted, these sock puppets will simply insert the same narratives over and over again.

Thanks for the revert on my user page. [[User:Tregoweth|tregoweth]] 09:32, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I have spoken with admin RoySmith who also watches this article. He has reverted another sockpuppet Rajmaambut's edits but when I brought up Bablos939 he has indicated that this is a content issue and should be a matter to settle between editors. Since you have already dealt with Chinese-proti, I am hoping that you can help to investigate this matter and rever the changes Marryhence/Bablo939/Chinese-proti has made. Also if you can use Checkuser to verify if these are indeed sockpuppets, that would be helpful for the page.

FYI I have also requested help from Woody since has also dealt with China-proti and was worried about vandalism on that page.

thanks again. just to make it clear, the numerous things he's said about me (eg that copyrighted picture thing) are all completely unfounded- in fact, i'm fairly sure that he actually did upload a pic and lie about the copyright, judging from the accusations against me and [[:Image:RUSH-display.jpg]], before accusing me of doing such. you can see his [[user talk:allabout2006|talk page]] for more allegations against me and his responses. i decided to step back for a day and see if he hung himself, and it looks like he did it. he's clearly associated with allaboutpoppers.com and his actions have not in any way suggested that he wants to be a productive part of this community. so if you make a request for arbitration please let me know . . . --[[User:Heah|Heah]] ^{[[User_talk:Heah|talk]]} 21:03, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I've seen what you have referred to. This guy might get himself and/or someone else killed trying to get a [[Bigfoot]].[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 23:52, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

{{quote|Cai Lun was talented and learned. He used his full effort and was careful. He often was willing to correct the wrongs, even when it offended the stern faced. When he had vacation days, he would close his door and not entertain guests, but spent time in the field. He was later given the additional post of ''Shangfangling''. In the 9th year of the ''Yongyuan'' era, he oversaw the manufacturing of imperial swords and other equipment, which were all made carefully and well, and he became an example for later generations.}}

{{quote|From ancient times books and notes were usually written on bamboo pieces. "Paper" (紙) referred to using silk to write on. Silk was expensive and bamboo was heavy, and neither of them was convenient to use. Cai Lun had the idea of using tree bark, hemp heads, and ragged clothes and fishnets to make paper. He presented his creation to the Emperor in the first year of the ''Yuanxing'' era, and the Emperor found him capable. Thereafter, the entire realm adopted his creation, and it was known as "Marquess Cai's paper."}}

{{quote|In the first year of the ''Yuanchu'' era, [[Deng Sui|Empress Dowager Deng]], on account that Cai Lun had long been in service, created him the Marquess of Longting with a fief of 300 households. He later became the ''Taipu'' at Changle Palace. In the fourth year of the ''Yuanchu'' era, the Emperor, finding that the various [[Chinese classics|classics]] often did not have standard texts, selected the ''yezhe'' Liu Zhen, along with other well-learned people and good officials to gather at ''Dongguan'' [i.e., the eastern hall] to edit and correct the Han laws in accordance, and made Cai Lun in charge of the project.}}

{{quote|Previously, Cai Lun, under Empress Dou's orders, made false accusations against Emperor An's grandmother [[Consort Song]]. After the Empress Dowager's death, Emperor An began to oversee all affairs of state. He ordered Cai Lun to self-report to the ministry of justice. Cai Lun did not want to be humiliated, and therefore, after bathing and putting on formal wear, drank poison and died. His fief was cancelled.}}

:Note: Guiyang Commandery's headquarters was at modern [[Chenzhou]], and covered southern Hunan, northeastern Guangxi, and northwestern Guangdong.

Again, do appreciate the info, and the clean out of my user page of the indicated vandalisim.

:Note: Yongping was 58-75, during the reign of [[Emperor Ming of Han]].

I listen to [[Coast To Coast AM]], never heard of this guy until now.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 00:17, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

:Note: Jianchu was 76-84, during the reign of [[Emperor Zhang of Han]].

:Note: Xiaohuangmen was a position for eunuchs that was above the ordinary eunuch, but not that highly ranked. I don't think I have a good translation for it - a direct translation would be "little yellow door" which is meaningless in this context.

::It turns out that it was higher ranked than I expected. The salary was 600 ''dan'' (and during Han, salary was highly correspondent with rank, much more so than later dynasties), which is fairly high. (Compare with ''Zhongchangshi'' below.) (For the palace officials' salaries and the such (note that not all of these officials were eunuchs, but most were), see vols. 116 and 117 of the Book of Later Han.)

:Note: Emperor He reigned 88-106. At the start of his reign, [[Empress Dou (Zhang)|Empress Dowager Dou]] was regent, and her brother [[Dou Xian]] was very powerful, so implied, although not stated, was that he was participating in their decision circle, not with the young Emperor He.

:Note: Zhongchangshi was one of the highest positions for an eunuch. See [[Ten Attendants]]. (I don't like "attendant" as a translation; a direct translation would be "regular attendant in palace.") Salary was 1,000 ''dan''.

:Note: The "stern faced" here presumably referred to Empress Dowager Dou and/or Dou Xian, and not Emperor He (who was a child), at least initially, but as Cai's career lasted until the reign of Emperor An, it could have included, potentially, Emperor He, Empress Dowager Deng, and Emperor An.

:Note: Shangfangling was a position in charge of overseeing manufacturing of imperial swords and other tools. It had a salary of 600 ''dan'' - so the biography was careful to note this was an additional position, not affecting Cai's ''Zhongchangshi'' position.

:Note: the 9th year of Yongyuan would be 97.

:Note: the 1st year of Yuanxing would be 105. As Emperor He died in 105 and was succeeded by his infant son [[Emperor Shang of Han]] (who then died in 106), this must have been to Emperor He before Emperor He's death.

:Note: the 1st year of Yuanchu would be 114.

:Note: In Cai's title of Marquess of Longting, "ting" denotes a village or a cluster of villages.

:Note: Changle Palace was the palace of the empress dowager. ''Taipu'' was the director of stables, and carried a salary of 2,000 ''dan'' and was highly ranked - even higher than the ''Shaofu'' (the head of the emperor's household).

:Note: the 4th year of Yuanchu would be 117, by which time Emperor An was emperor, so he would be the emperor referred to.

:Note: a ''yezhe'' was an attendant to the emperor (as I understand it, not an eunuch) with the salary of 600 ''dan''.

:Hi Nlu, sorry to bother again – I have a question about courtesy names, and would greatly appreciate any help. Is there a logical place to put Cai Lun's courtesy name (Jingzhong) in the article? That is, was this something assigned after death (so I could put it in the legacy section) or perhaps something assigned at birth (so I could put it in the early life section) or something else?

== Another Vandal ==

::Traditionally, courtesy name was used both during a person's lifetime and after his (or, in semi-modern times, her) death as a more respectful way of referring to a person.(See [[naming taboo]] for one of the reasons, although not the only one.) It would not have been given at birth - usually, the person creates one for himself/herself, or, in some cases, his/her parents/grandparents, or some other respected figure, gave them. (A [[posthumous name]] would be a name given after death by the emperor to signify what the imperial government thought of the person, but as far as I can see, Cai, having been disgraced at the time of his death, did not receive one.) I think it would just fit as one of his names. (When writing articles myself, I would typically put it in the lead.) --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 04:23, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Really appreciate the assisstance in this matter. This guy should know that law enforcement frowns on bigfoot hunting, especially with guns, due to the lethal consequences, and he should know that the property owners do NOT like intruders of any sort, human as well as [[Bigfoot]].[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 05:12, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello, Nlu. I'd like to ask you if you could help in proof reading the statements with references/citations to a source in Traditional Chinese in [[Shizuka (band)]]. I've added all the original Chinese text in citation as explanatory foot notes in Shizuka (band) to ease this work and to address [[WP:ANNOTATION]] for non-English sources. I'm asking because there was conflict in the talk page of that article regarding using the only source in Chinese the respective article. As so, I'm pretty much asking for an independent audit because, as you can notice in the citations footnotes, I do already have the source translated by a native Chinese professional human translator.

:{{ping|TRANSviada}} I will try to look at it in a few days, but I already have skepticism based on a couple facts: 1) this source (in Chinese) itself claims to be a translation - but does not specify the language translated from or cite the original non-translated source, and 2) it's a blog. (I know blogs are not inherently unreliable, but they're rarely inherently reliable.) Can you let me know the specific points of contention? --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 04:18, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|TRANSviada}} I guess on second reading, the "translation" portion can be interpreted as that the author interviewed the band with a Japanese-Chinese interpreter (rather than that it was translated from another source). If that's the understanding, I think that makes it less inherently unreliable. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 04:19, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

::{{ping|Nlu}} Oh sorry, I missed to tell the details. The original publication of this article/interview was in a Taiwanese music magazine named Rocker. The link to the blog is a verbatim copy (likely unauthorized) of the text from the magazine; the author confirmed it to me 2 years ago. Your guess on your second reading is correct. I don't know if the author directly spoke in Japanese with the interviewees or used an interpreter, albeit the author might knew Japanese by that time. The points of contention are the statements referencing the Chinese source and its respective Chinese citations (all in notes) in lowercase Latin alphabet in that article: [[Shizuka (band)#Non-English citations]]. I've further added some that were missing.

::::{{ping|Nlu}} As I see it, the priority is to verify the statements made in the article (from lead section to [[Shizuka (band)#2000–2002: Reunition, Tokyo Underground '95, and Le Weekend festival]]) referencing the respective Chinese citations, mainly for statements that only reference the source in Chinese. Although it would be welcome, reviewing the actual translations is not needed since the objections in [[Talk:Shizuka (band)]] brought by the author of the Chinese source were in relation to my knowledge in Chinese and "factual errors that may have made their way into this entry".

It is:[http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/story.html?id=ae92d01a-41ef-4323-8065-188d1b2ed53e&k=48562/ Scientists believe the SETI Project allows Space Aliens to hack into People's Computers]

Problem now is that you have to go into the paper's archives. Maybe a Wiki-tech can handle this one. I was reading it when the article went into the archives.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 23:02, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

<div class="afd-notice">

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[:Yang Xiu (Sui dynasty)]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yang Xiu (Sui dynasty)]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Hi. I noticed you refused my vandalism block request recently. I figure I'm not understanding the policy correctly. I saw a warning that looked final on the IP address' talk page. Was he already blocked and on another cycle of warnings? How can I tell if that was the case? Thanks! :) [[User:Wknight94|wknight94]] 19:26, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

:We are not supposed to block if he/she hasn't been warned lately -- and in this case, he/she was recently warned but with a relatively mild message, and the last instance of vandalism was a while ago. Therefore, no block. Sorry if that was a bit confusing. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 20:18, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

::Thank you so much! A quick question for you, if you have a second. Loewe 2000 says on [[Emperor Qianshao of Han]] that "He was passed off as being the son of Huidi and his empress, and thus the Empress Lü's own grand-daughter. Learning in 184 that he was not the son of the former emperor and his consort...", yet our article on him has Hui as his father and in Hui's article is his listed as his child. Do you know what's up with this? [[User:Aza24|Aza24]] ([[User talk:Aza24|talk]]) 03:05, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

:::This is one where Loewe was likely relying on the ''[[Records of the Grand Historian]]'' and the ''[[Book of Han]]'' in asserting that all eight of the recorded sons of [[Emperor Hui of Han]] were not actually his sons - which was an assertion that the officials who overthrew the Lüs after Empress Dowager Lü's death made in justifying replacing [[Emperor Houshao of Han]] with [[Emperor Wen of Han]]. But even in antiquity there have been questions about that. The ''[[Zizhi Tongjian]]'', for example, chose to use more ambiguous wording in not definitively stating whether that is in fact the truth, but that that was the officials' allegation. [[Bo Yang]] asserted that there was no real evidence that they were not Emperor Hui's sons. As, during Emperor Hui's own lifetime, they were regarded as his sons (something that no traditional source disputes), I believe it is most neutral (although there will be arguments about that as well) to state that they were his sons while noting the officials' post-hoc allegations that they were not. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 04:50, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

== Found a Cryptozoological site....==

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Should I place this site [http://www.cryptomundo.com/ Cryptomundo's Homepage] on to the [[bigfoot]] article and other cryptozoological articles ? [[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 07:21, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

==Article Exam==

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

Can you examine the Article: ''[[The Legend of Boggy Creek]]'' for any problems ?

Do'nt want to end up in trouble.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 08:59, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

== Di Yi related to Confucius ==

== User page vandalism ==

Nlu! Have you ever heard [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Di_Yi&diff=prev&oldid=1101245050&diffmode=source about this]? Couldn't find any sources for it online that weren't circular to Wikipedia. But I didn't check the Shiji (or Bamboo Annals) thoroughly where I suspect it would have originated, if it all. I know that ancient accounts of Confucius claimed him to be related to very old figure(s) in Chinese history, but I always thought it was general claim like 'The Kings of Xia', not a specific king of Xia/Shang.

:{{ping|Aza24}} I looked up on ''Shiji'' and the story there only said that he is "of Song" (i.e., from the state of Song, whose ruling house was purportedly from the Shang royal house). (See [[:zh:s:史記/卷047|vol. 47]].) I have never read the ''Bamboo Annals'' (only sources citing it) and a quick look just now, despite my lack of familiarity with its format, does not show any references to him in either the Shang or Zhou portions of it. It was based on this theory that Confucius's descendant Kong Ji was created the Duke of Yin during Han Dynasty. See ''Zizhi Tongjian'', [[:zh:s:資治通鑑/卷032|vol. 32]]. Beyond that, I am unaware of any claims to a specific descent. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 22:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

::Thanks Nlu—that largely confirms my suspicion. I am not too familiar with the ''Bamboo Annals'' either, but would probably not trust it even if it did reference his genealogy!

::If you have any extra time, you are more than welcome to take a look at [[User:Aza24/List of Chinese monarchs]], where myself and another user have been rewriting the Chinese monarch list to be fully sourced and comprehensive.

There is some truth in the old "[[chicken]] [[soup]]" remedy for a [[cold]], but the reason I had suggested the jalapenos is that these things will literally ''un-congest'' your nose and sinuses,throwing up and out infected material, while the garlic helps kill the bug internally. Its like spraying [[mace]] or [[pepper spray]] on a vandal. By the way, a image of a can of pepper spray would be a appropriate symbol of the final warning to a vandal just before he or she is blocked. It would be like hitting a crook w/ this stuff. Did not mean to "gross you out" w/ what jalapenos will do. That is how they work,especially if you catch the illness in its early stages.[[User:Martial Law|Martial Law]] 21:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

== Imperial Chinese chancellors ==

Hello! I've noticed that you were the original author of most of the articles covering Tang and Five Dynasties chancellors. I've started working on drafting articles on the early Song chancellors to continue this project a little further. Haven't uploaded any of them yet. My question: do you think it still makes sense to use the English translation "chancellor" when referring to Song-era chief ministers? Asking because of the ''canzhi zhengshi'' 參知政事, who seem to be translated as "second privy counsellors" or "assistant councilors" in most of the literature I've reviewed, but never "vice-chancellor" or anything along those lines. I'd ideally like to maintain consistent titling. [[User:Marquisate|Marquisate]] ([[User talk:Marquisate|talk]]) 00:02, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks for asking for my input. I am nowhere as familiar with Song's governance as I am with Tang's, but instinctively, I feel the translations of "second privy counsellors" and "assistant councilors," at least in the context my American-English (perhaps Californian, particularly) feelings about their connotations, seem to way, way understate the office holders' importance. At some risk of potentially being original research, I'd support still referring to them as chancellors or, if some term needs to be created to differentiate, "chancellors of the second class" (as Bo Yang did for Tang chancellors) or "chancellors pro tempore." Then, perhaps a standalone article can be created to explain how the Song chancellor system works - obviously, based on established sources. (See ''[[History of Song (book)|History of Song]]'', [[:zh:s:宋史/卷161|vol. 161]].) --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] ([[User talk:Nlu|talk]]) 04:56, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

::That approach makes sense to me (particularly the "second class" distinction), especially given the power some of these individuals held while in this specific role (e.g. Kou Zhun in his first stint of high-level service under Taizong). A separate article explaining the system and its evolution is also a good suggestion, particularly given the left/right hierarchy even among the "grand" chancellors. Thank you for the input!

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,
