Porcelain
Hi - your additions re. 'true' and 'artifical' are not correct. These terms are obscure and archaic at best, and are based on a very limited understanding of the subject. I appreciate you have added a reference, [http://books.google.com/books?id=RKaRJHFUK-wC], but not only is one non-authoritative but it's for different material: such boxes are not made of porcelain, rather they are made of enamelled metal. Where the confusion may have arisen is that in the USA enamelled metal is called porcelain enamel: see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_enamel], and the removal of mention of these at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Limoges_porcelain&action=historysubmit&diff=402293311&oldid=402292717] and the associated comment at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ALimoges_porcelain&action=historysubmit&diff=398741350&oldid=252787541]. Also the reference from Google Books, Syracuse China, makes no mention of 'artificial porcelains'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.126.226.123 (talk) 17:43, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your swift response to my Project:China article request for Liu Yan (dancer). It was written far more excellently and thoroughly than if I had attempted it.

A draft article for the history of the Great Wall of China
Hi Cold Season, I see you've been working on the Sino-Xiongnu War and have been patrolling the Great Wall of China article, so I venture to ask: would you be interested in helping me write an ambitious article covering the whole history of the Great Wall of China? I have a draft up in User:Deadkid dk/History of the Great Wall of China, and while I have made some progress, I have come to realize that I will not have the time and resources to complete this endeavour within a reasonable amount of time (years) - especially when real life commitments started to take its toll on my personal research time. I'd hate to abandon the draft, and the topic is one that the English Wikipedia sorely needs. So if you have time to spare, I'd be glad if someone as knowledgeable as you would be willing to help out :) _dk (talk) 03:42, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks, too much credit though. I'm just a layperson on such historical and cultural things; it just peaks my interest. When finishing that article, I was planning to go somewhat idle and just do small edits awhile until the next thing. Most of the used resources for that article were available online for me to compare and built on (my university library is like the opposite of this area of expertise). I'm interested though, if I can convince myself to properly work on it due to time constraints. Cheers, Cold Season (talk) 21:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
::No worries, we're all laypeople here on Wikipedia, editing because of our interests :) Thank you for your interest! _dk (talk) 01:35, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Cold Season, the History of the Great Wall of China article is up (after like 2 years). If you're still interested, maybe you can take a look at it :) _dk (talk) 02:48, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:I definitely will. It's a beautiful article and I can see the effort put into it. Nicely done! --Cold Season (talk) 19:52, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

:No mention of the article topics in said sources. You posted that in the articles Tocharian, Tarim Basin, and Tarim mummies, thus making original research, trying to imply a connection uncited, and thus misrepresenting sources. Also, take it to the article talk page as I will ignore this private conversation, since several editors have reverted you, warned you, and raised the issue but you refuse to adress it and persisted with it for the past weeks. --Cold Season (talk) 17:23, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Genocide
Hi. I think it's a bit inappropriate to include as a "source" a quote that only refers to the Nanking Massacre in passing as "genocide". I think you need to find a source that makes it more clear that it was a genocide (or widely believed to be one), otherwise it's strictly POV. I mean, seriously, if all it takes is throwing in a random quote like that, then it would be easy to load up the article with all the books and papers by people who claim the Massacre never even happened. Wouldn't that be a fun game to play?
Think of it this way: if it is widely believed to be a genocide, then there should be no problem rustling up an army of books and articles that clearly support that view. It's not like you find a lot of denialists outside of Japan, right? CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 06:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:I guess someone went ahead and did so before me, while restoring my source [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nanking_Massacre&curid=55066&diff=478962853&oldid=478902119] and added several others. --Cold Season (talk) 16:13, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

:::The source that I provided from a peer-reviewed journal does describe it as "genocide", which you removed. I will now point this discussion to the article's talkpage—if you wish not to accept my edits—and not reply here, because it's quite clear where this is headed. --Cold Season (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey Cold Season,
Why did you delete my links posted on the Ming Ancestor Mausoleum page?

Please do not blindly and stupidly delete any of my postings again you FOOL!

Spam is spam; your whole contribution history consists of you adding external links to your site. You obviously have a conflict of interest to promote your site. I could just report the spam, which is reason enough for a block or possibly blacklist. That would make sure that it won't happen again. Very well, keep your links.

Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 21:12, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Some comments
Firstly: Han–Nanyue War. Should it be renamed it to Han–Triệu War because of various reasons as China doesn't consider Nam Việt and the Triệu Dynasty as part of their own history. They only treat them as vassals. Furthermore, Nam Việt and the Triệu Dnasty are somewhat considered to be a Vietnamese nation and part of Vietnamese history; similar to the title Ming–Hồ War and not Ming–Đại Ngu War.
Secondly: Deep looking into history, the 111 BC conflict is not the only war. The Triệu Dynasty had already fought a war against the Han dynasty between 183 BC and 180 BC. In 180 BC, as the result of Empress Dowager Lu's blockade of trade, Triệu army attacked Changsha country and the war lasted until 180 BC after the death of Empress Dowager Lu. Apparently, there were 2 wars between the Triệu and the Han dynasties. So how should we treat the 183 - 180 BC war? ༆ (talk) 05:22, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
:(1) I disagree with that point or reasoning for it, but you could make a move request if you wish. (2) If there's ever a similar-named article created, then there's a need to disambiguate but I don't think there's a nessecity for it now. --Cold Season (talk) 12:18, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
Tirgil34 again?
There's this new user, Antonio von Horde, who is obsessed[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AGenghis_Khan&diff=531595668&oldid=530694608][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ATomb_of_Genghis_Khan&diff=531664470&oldid=484499065] with proving that Genghis Khan was a Tatar Turk, alleging that proofs of Genghis's Mongolian ancestry are "pro-Chinese and Persian falsifications". There's the classic racist attribution of a "golden bushy beard" to the man, Jin "aggressive"ness, rant about "Uyghurstan", and associated amateur etymology.

So it's hoping that he slips up to give us adequate reason to request a clerk to check for other hidden accounts. I did reported one of his accounts this week, but the case was bureaucratically closed as outdated (less spare time for me to follow articles and his new tactic...). --Cold Season (talk) 12:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Rock-paper-scissors
Hi Cold Season,
I see you edited the Rock-Paper-Scissors article to read that the game was definitely mentioned in ‘Wuzazu’. Is this right? The earliest edits don’t make this clear, e.g. “The history of games using shapes formed by the hand can be found in the Chinese Ming Dynasty writer Xie Zhaozhi's (谢肇淛) book Wuzazu (五杂组), which contains the first known mention of such games, though the rules are described as "unknown".” (Article as of August 2012)
Does ‘Wuzazu’ refer just to hand games in general, or specifically one involving three competing signs for rock, paper and scissors? RLamb (talk) 19:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
:The secondary source refers specifically to "rock, paper, scissors" (as in the game) and mentions that it was known as hand command (in wuzazu). The source doesn't say that the rules are unknown, but it does not give further details about the signs. I can't conclusively say that it is the former or latter since it hasn't be stated. Cheers, Cold Season (talk) 19:57, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
::At present the section is saying both that R-P-S began in Han China (Moore and Sward) and also that it originated in Edo period Japan (Dr Linhart). But it can't be both. Either the game began in Han China, survived unchanged into Edo Japan and then spread from Japan to the west in the 1920s: or it reached the west long after it was invented in Japan as part of an evolving tradition of handgames traceable back to Han China. Know anyone with a copy of 'Wuzazu'? RLamb (talk) 23:05, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
:::I don't. --Cold Season (talk) 15:53, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
::::You managed pretty well anyway. Congratulations, it makes a lot more sense now.RLamb (talk) 23:38, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Article Feedback deployment
Hey Cold Season; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Cuju
The FIFA ref you provided in which Cuju is presented a forbearer of association football is "misleading". Cuju does not have any connection with any code of football.
The root of this was the World Cup in 2002 in which China first entered a team. FIFA were keen to promote their football product in an opening Chinese market so rebranded association footballs origins. This however does not make their marketing work historically correct. In an encyclopedia this should be the case.
Other codes of football such as Rugby, Gridiron, Australian rules football and Gaelic football all have the same origins as association football. None of the governing bodies in any of these sports supports FIFA's rewriting of football world history.
The reality is football can be traced back to a variety of very similar medieval ball games played at Shrovetide, Eater and Christmas in many European countries. The influences for these games were Celtic, Roman and Ancient Greek. There games are also older than Cuju. It is now a part of football history that FIFA tried to rewrite the history of association football and inadvertently the history of all other codes.

:How about you post this on the more-public talkpage of the article? Also, first, you're the one who made that interpretation of cuju with association football. The text only states that cuju is the earliest form of football, nothing else. Second, the cited text does not state anything about "association football" or its origins. Simply said, you're just making fantasy tales between your ears about what is stated in that wikipedia article. If you wish to continue this discussion, kindly copy-paste this to the article talkpage. --Cold Season (talk) 19:48, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

|image = Image:Updated DYK query.svg
|text = On 14 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Treasure voyages, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Ming China's treasure voyages were undertaken by Admiral Zheng He's expeditionary fleet (ship model pictured), even though the 15th-century Portuguese thought that the unknown ships belonged to white Christians? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Treasure voyages. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, [http://stats.grok.se/en/201305/Treasure_voyages quick check]) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
A cup of tea for you!

Chinese Gardens
I wrote a stub article for each of the Chinese Gardens in Shaoxing and now they are deleted. Where did they go? and why? is it possible to recover them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.246.240.62 (talk) 04:05, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
:I'm not aware of those articles. I can't find them. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Although, you would be able to find it when renamed and moved, since you would be automatically be redirected from the original title. If deleted, you can recover them at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion if you still have the article titles. --Cold Season (talk) 08:34, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
[[Ly–Sui War]]
All other articles about the wars between China and Vietnam are exclusively using the naming style of putting Chinese words before Vietnamese ones on the title such as Han-Nanyue, Ming-Ho, and Sino-Vietnamese. Maybe it is more appropriate to rename the article to Sui-Ly instead. I would prefer to add Vietnamese diacritics too. Cheer. ༆ (talk) 02:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
:If you wish to do so, you may move it or make a technical request to move it (since I've already created few redirects). I'm neutral to the order or inclusion of Vietnamese diacretics. I don't prefer the latter myself. --Cold Season (talk) 09:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
