I insist on the "Fortunate" being left in the Hikikomori article. This is all I got to say. - Me
Hello. The reason your link to cogito ergo sum did not work was your capitalization of all three initial letters; it can be useful to bear that in mind. I've created the redirect page and bypassed it in this case. Michael Hardy 15:47, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Please add the page where the image is said to be in Public Domain. Thanks. feydey 00:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bluebird47. I made these edits from memory, so I can't point to a specific reference. However, as a native of Shanghai I am definitely sure that the name should be written like this - should say so in any reputable map of the area. The two characters "白" and "摆" are pronounced quite differently in Wu so there is no chance of confusion. As to the explanation of the name, this is the explanation I was told when I was little, and it seems to make sense given the name... but I could be wrong. Can I ask what was the source that gave the other explanation? --Sumple (Talk) 13:49, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello Sumple, it's cool to know your native Shanghainese, i'm glad to work with you on these articles. Regarding the name, I*m sure your characters are correct because the Chinese I asked is not from Shanghai and probably doesnt know for sure. As I have quite a few issues that need further research work / are a bit sketchy, I suggest to continue discussion at the respective pages (Garden Bridge and Huangpu Park; I'll list my sources and cite a few remaining issues. --Bluebird47
Spacing
[edit]I have to object against the large scale automated introduction of nbsp into articles, even though it is part of the Manual indeed. The spacing in SI is fine, but the HTML entity is not. I perfectly understand the technical reasons, however it moves Wikipedia further away from having both easily portable and editable text. It further raises the barrier for people who have no understanding of HTML and makes units in text very hard to read. As such, I see the disadvantages outweighing the advantages. In fact, I would rather suggest petitioning the right people to add this particularly function to the software, as it should be: same as we don't enclose every paragraph with the p tag and lists with dl and li, but rather the parser recognizes this based upon the normal text flow or easy to understand conventions, the same should be done with the SI units. However, until then, I strongly suggest only adding human readable spaces to units, as the HTML masking will not be needed anymore after adding the software function anyway.

- Hi Bluebird. I don't entirely agree with some of your comments; in particular I'm not sure that it'd be easy to unambiguously detect all the SI units and insert non-breaking spaces automatically in a way that wouldn't cause errors elsewhere. I'll hold off from making any more nbsp edits for the moment though, until I've had a chance to think about it some more. Cheers, CmdrObot 15:12, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
File source problem with File:HuangpuparkOld1.jpg

Talk page problems
[edit]I was reviewing the Hikikomori talk page, wanting to archive it. You initiated a chain reaction of problems with this edit. Please keep new talk page subjects in chronological order. It is against Wikipedia policy to move your subjects to the top of the page in an effort to draw attention to them. It interferes with proper archival and is counterproductive because people looking for recent comments will go to the bottom of the page to check. Y12J (talk) 07:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
The article Shanghai Circus World Station has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Not sourced since at least December 2009.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
