I will soon be on a long Wikibreak to get ready for exams in May and will be back in June. I will be responding to messages unusually slow (several days instead of hours).

[edit] i was only pasing by Beijing

I was only editing the external links on several important cities, to kill some linkspam of tourist guides, and Beijing happened to be on my list. I noticed that the Beijing article was in perfect health on that matter and way more complete than other articles, and tried to use it as guide for other cities for a while. Thanks for the offer, anyways. Cheers and good luck for your invitations --Enric Naval (talk) 20:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Beijing

I get a lot of requests to join projects; for example, recently I was asked to join Wikiproject History of Technology due to my featured article Technology of the Song Dynasty appearing on the main page. However, I have to be honest with you in admitting that the Wikiprojects that I am already a member of get little help from me on their desired and official designated articles for improvement. I tend to enjoy a loose relationship with editors here, editing what I want when I want, and not being given a set schedule, curriculum, or (gasp!) someone else's homework. Your project sounds fun, but my goal here is to improve history articles, and I'm afraid that's the field I limit my edits to. I only added pictures to Beijing and the article History of Beijing.

Although I respectfully decline your offer, I grant you the best of luck in finding members for your project.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 01:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:CarlosRodriguez

You recently warned this user about his consistent spamming. He still hasn't stopped. Could you maybe take a look at the situation again? Thanks, Grsz11 17:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Could you please post some specific diffs, I can't see anything to bad. Poeloq (talk) 17:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

It's the fact that he keeps adding the same, blatantly POV edits again and again and again. He's been warned about the policy violations he's breaking (UNDUE, OR, NPOV), and refused to yield, let alone talk about it. Grsz11 17:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm too unfamiliar with the pages in question to be able to judge it properly. I can only recommend to try and discuss it with him or post some very obvious diffs to me (I currently don't have the time to go through all his contribs, some of which are ok). Poeloq (talk) 17:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sunday

 I'm going to be a little late on Sunday, can you get the table and gather the crowds?

[edit] re: Rollback

Thanks, that was quick! Abecedare (talk) 23:32, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, checked my watchlist and saw your request. Your count is very good, no blocks and no edit warring. So no problems --> quick process :) Poeloq (talk) 23:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SOAS

Hey KTC! I'm sure you had good intentions, but a quick search would have revealed that Sufiah Yusof did attend SOAS - it's been all over the news in the last few days. Poeloq (talk) 23:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. The references (newspaper articles) on Sufiah page that I read only said she is studying in London, didn't specifically mentioned SOAS. I'll learn to actually google first next time... KTC (talk) 23:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem! Keep up the good work, Poeloq (talk) 00:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Links

Sorry, I forgot to check back, even though you said on the top of your talk page to check back.

Anyway, some good sites for Chinese music are:

• music.yahoo.cn - you must be able to read Chinese to understand this
• sina.cn - a news site, but does have some things about music in China
• wiki.theppn.org - a Wiki, focuses on all types of Asian music
• wiki.rockinchina.com - mainly rock music though

[edit] Nice to meet you yesterday, Poeloq

The author I referred to was Barbara Pym. It says on Wikipedia that she worked at the African Institute, but I am sure she refers to SOAS. I think you would like her books- I first came across her through hearing Quartet in Autumn on Book at Bedtime. I then read Excellent Women and finally Jane and Prudence (on which I started the Wikipedia article). These books will make a good antidote to your exam revision. Bashereyre (talk) 08:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah good to meet you. Get yourself signed up for Wikipedia:Meetup/London 9! May 11th. or d'you have exams? :-( -- Harry Wood (talk) 15:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Or Wikipedia:Meetup/London 10, June 8th? Actually I was hoping you'd be able to help out with promoting it this time, because despite me setting it up, it looks like I may not be able to make it on June 8th myself :-( ...but I would like it if we kept momentum going for monthly events (I set it up for the same time and same place for this reason)

Hope exams are going well!

-- Harry Wood (talk) 11:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

So I'll see you on Sunday! (Turns out I can make it)... Wikipedia:Meetup/London 10 Sunday 1p.m.! -- Harry Wood (talk) 00:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
