[edit] Welcome to Wiki!

Hello Al Silonov, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• Read the tutorial and learn how to edit a page.
• Experiment in the sandbox.
• Follow the Simplified Ruleset.
• Try to edit from a neutral point of view.
• Use talk pages to communicate with other editors.
• Be bold in updating pages.
• Eventually, read the Manual of Style and learn about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
• And most importantly, have fun!

One of the more important ways you can help Wikipedia is by cleaning up articles in the cleanup backlog.

If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page. You may also find me on my personal blog or xMule's website.

I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — HopeSeekr of xMule

[edit] China administrative regions

Hi... just wondering, which method of Cyrillization are you using to translate Chinese names into Russian?

For example, for Wang Lequan, the secretary of Xinjiang, you have Ван Лекуань, but the "qu-" isn't pronounced as "ku-" there. Also, the "le" isn't "lie".

Perhaps you would be interested in this? Cyrillization of Chinese from Pinyin

Wang Lequan -> Ван Лэцюань.

Thanx for your advice. Sure, you are quite right. In fact I've got no method of my own. Normally I try to check up the names, but being in a hurry or tired I sometimes fail to do that - which is the case here. Fortunately, there is the community and folks who can correct it ;))...

It's Bod-rang-skyong-ljongs. Even the German Wikipedia shows "Bod-rang-skyong-ljongs" in Tibetan letters. -- ran (talk) 12:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
