Confused
[edit]I am baffled as to why you added this to the article on Tibet: "In China, only a few laurel poets had ever used 'motherland' to refer China in their poems after 1960s. Other Chinese never ever use 'motherland' to refer to China." The article was very specifically referring to the Tibetan word ma-yul, which means "motherland". I have no idea why you added a discussion of "motherland" in Chinese.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 03:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- The reason I did that is to show that the sentence Chinese use motherland to refer their country is not true. I should simply delete that sentence. But I do not like to delet other people wrote. I would rather to add some facts after that to show that sentence is not true or misleading. If you delet my added sentence, you shold also delete the sentence before it which calims chinese used motherland to refer their country. Thanks.
- Which sentence? There is no sentence that says that.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 15:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
The last sentence under Name in Tibet
- That sentence is obviously referring to the word which means "motherland" in Tibetan. It even tells you which word that is: ma yul. I don't know where you see in this sentence the claim that the Chinese use "motherland" to refer to their country.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 04:44, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I misunderstood. Apple88
Please stop deleting the Simla Convention sentence. Whether you like it or not, that's what the cite says, and there are other citations that say the same thing at the main article on that topic, namely Simla Convention / McMahon Line. Also, there is nothing wrong with citing Indian sources. Cheers. Yunfeng (talk) 19:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comment on my talk page (although it would have been nice if you had signed it). China's representative (I think his name was Ivan Chen) signed the treaty and the Chinese government later repudiated it. It is not in any way incorrect to say "China signed the treaty". You should propose changes of that nature on the talk page before making them in the article. Yunfeng (talk) 20:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tibet. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Ave Caesar (talk) 20:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button
