I am fancy of DYKs and the process of updating queues. I like translating pages (to Vietnamese). My main wiki is viwiki, which I have contributed a lot here.

1830 depiction of Zhao Chongguo

Zhao Chongguo (137 BCE – 52 BCE) was a Chinese military commander and official during the Western Han dynasty. Emperor Wu, impressed by Zhao's military service, promoted him, and he served as chief of staff for the supreme head of cavalry units. In 74 BCE, Zhao collaborated with the political leader Huo Guang to depose the newly enthroned emperor Liu He in favor of Emperor Xuan. For this, he was appointed Marquis of Yingping and promoted to general of the rear. He volunteered to lead a campaign against the Qiang people in 62 BCE. Joined by his son, he persuaded the Qiang to defect to the Han cause. Zhao rejected proposals by his fellow generals and the Emperor to continue offensive operations, believing that a protracted occupation would subdue the Qiang through attrition. He was able to implement a policy of tuntian (farming garrisons) in spite of imperial opposition. This gained him acclaim and influenced later tacticians. He retired in 60 BCE after his son caused a scandal. (Full article...)

Willistead Manor is a historic house located in the former town of Walkerville, Ontario, now part of Windsor. Designed by Albert Kahn for Edward Chandler Walker and built between 1904 and 1906, the manor was ceded to the community in 1921, a few years after Walker's death. Having served as Walkerville's town hall, the Art Gallery of Windsor, and a branch of the Windsor Public Library, it is currently used as a banquet hall. The manor is designed in the Tudor Revival style, and the grounds also include a coach house and a gate house of similar design. This photograph shows the front facade of Willistead Manor in 2025.Photograph credit: Chris Woodrich

How to link to a section of an article

Sometimes it is necessary to refer to a specific section of a page when linking, rather than to the whole page.

You can create a link to any subheading on any page in Wikipedia by including a # character followed by the subheading at the end of a link. For example:

Wikipedia:Community Portal#Collaborations

In all section links, be sure to use a piped link for readability, like this:

[[Wikipedia:Community Portal#Collaboration|Collaborations]]

which looks like this:

Collaborations

If a section title changes, rather than go red/inactive, the link will lead to the top of the linked page.

Note that redirects support sections links.
