Great photo! Was this picture taken when the roadbed was completed? It looks like there is a ceremony taking place. Thanks for adding this wonderful shot. Do you have any other pictures of the bridge? I am specifically looking for a horizontal shot to use in List of longest suspension bridge spans. There are also some other bridges in China missing photographs as well. -- ☑ SamuelWantman 05:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category sorting

Hi; there's no need to add individual sorting to every category of an article. The {{DEFAULTSORT}} tag already handles this. See WP:DEFAULTSORT for further information. Cheers, cab (talk) 08:49, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know?

Did you know China and Republic of China were used interchangeably from 1911 - 1949? (See article History of China - Republic of China). Stop your disruptive editing on the infobox's DOB on Charles K. Kao. and NO we are not talking about Taiwan, which was part of the Japanese Empire in 1933.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 55 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African wildlife articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance. If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing any article related to a topic you often work on, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Might be a good way to work on fleshing out articles you've long been meaning to target and get rewarded for it! Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:52, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
