EU reverts

As a regular editor of the EU article I am sorry your edits were reverted twice (by the same editor). I told the editor in question that he should be more careful in the future. Arnoutf (talk) 19:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your speedy rescue! --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 19:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Vietnam paper money

Small denominations 100 Dong - 5000 Dong are no longer produced, but still in use in VN. Pyvanet (talk) 00:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

"Republic of China" <ref>

Hi there,

I was tidying up some <ref>s on the ROC page, and noticed the following:

"Feuerwerker, Albert. 1968. The Chinese Economy, 1912-1949. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press."

as a separate table at the end of the list.

It seems to have been inserted by you: here.

Do you remember what this refers to, as I hoped to include the <ref> in the article?

Regards, JohnI (talk) 22:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I am not a frequent editor of the article. So my edit may very well be questionable. I just wanted to include a lone reference in a commented out area right below the reference section. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 19:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I added a new sub-section called "Other references" and started the numbering from 1. This way we don't have to re-number the entry when footnotes are added or deleted. Let me know if you disagree or have a better idea. Regards, JohnI (talk) 01:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Estonian Kroon

Hi,

I've seen that you've added a lot of stuff to Estonian kroon and tried to make it like euro or USD. I just want to tell you that I partially revert your edit not because the information is false. I did so because of the guide line at Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style/Currency article. Euro and USD have more details that don't fit with the guide line. For example, the euro is a multinational currency where many languages are all considered official. That's why it has a funny way of showing different spelling at the top of the infobox. Greek is not an official language of Estonia, that's why I reverted your edit. In addition, I see that you plan to create "Estonian coins" and "Estonian banknotes". The naming convention would result in "Banknotes of the Estonian kroon" and "Coins of the Estonian kroon". Precedents include Banknotes of the Czech koruna, Banknotes of the pound sterling, and Banknotes of the Romanian leu. Thank you. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 06:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Estonia has had different banknotes and coins - they ahve had also different names - for excample marks and kroons, sents and pennies. I think that it is not wise to create one big "Banknotes of the Estonian kroon" and "Coins of the Estonian kroon" as they would not represent the hole evolution of the Estonian currency. The name of Banknotes of Estonia and Coins of Estonia would collect all the currency types and names under it on the other hand.
I suggest that we could add the redirection after words - but the main name would be banknotes of Estonia - then i do not have to create "Coins of the Estonian pennies, ...Marks"...
Karabinier 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Your point is completely valid. As long as the format is "Coins of somewhere" or "Coins of some currency", I'm fine with it. It's just the "Xyzian coins" format that bothers me. In the past, there were Canadian banknotes, Philippine peso bills, and all sorts of formats. The Estonian mark and the Estonian kroon are kind of like the Australian pound and the Australian dollar. There is a Coins of Australia article as a summary. There are also Coins of the Australian pound and Coins of the Australian dollar because the information is too much to fit in one article. This is just my humble suggestion.
Also, currency unit such as kroon or euro should be sentence case, not capitalized. So if you don't disagree, I will move individual denomination articles such as 500 Krooni. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 10:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Hm I didnt quite understood what you meant under the "I will move individual denomination articles such as 500 Krooni"? As long as you dont attend to delete the pages about kroons different banknotes.. :P Karabinier 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I don't mean to delete these pages. Just want to rename with lower case "k". --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 16:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Micronation

Hi, I have edited the template above and now for some reason it has created five blank lines on every article with that template. I haven't really edited many templates, could you please have a look at the template and see what is wrong?

Thanks ----- Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 14:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Problem solved ----- Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 16:21, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I fixed the problem. If the conditional contents are in the format of
{{#if:condition1|then|else}}
{{#if:condition2|then|else}}
{{#if:condition3|then|else}}
...
and if multiple consecutive conditions evaluate to false, then you get multiple blank lines. I changed them to
{{#if:condition1|then|else}}{{#if:
condition2|then|else}}{{#if:
condition3|then|else}}
...
then the blank lines are effectively removed.
I also created a sandbox and test cases according to Wikipedia:Template test cases. This way, real articles are shielded from any experimental change. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 16:33, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for solving the problem. ----- Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 16:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Brunei Currency

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Brunei ringgit This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming articles is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

If you were to move Brunei ringgit, please also move Coins of the Brunei ringgit. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 07:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes. I can't seem to move the page in question though, because the page already exists. Do I go to Wikipedia:Requested moves or ??? --Novelty (talk) 07:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I guess that's the only way now. Unfortunately, a lengthy discussion will take place. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 08:32, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Can you have a look at the talk pages of Talk:Brunei ringgit and Talk:Coins of the Brunei ringgit to see if everything is in order? Also, do I need to record this move request anywhere else? --Novelty (talk) 08:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
It's pretty much in place. I did some minor modifications. Please add
{{subst:RMlink|Brunei ringgit|Brunei dollar|summarized reason}}
to Wikipedia:Requested moves#Other proposals. I can't really speak for you. And I haven't decided what to vote yet. Thanks. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 10:25, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for all the help! Now what happens, and who decides when it will get moved? --Novelty (talk) 01:21, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Every participating editor. After five days of discussion (ideally, if not backlogged), an admin will act according to the consensus. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 17:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

A suspected sock puppet

Can you point me in the right direction? I've been having trouble with Mexican peso and Spanish dollar (mostly the former) due to the actions of Jolliette and three IP addresses that clearly belong to this user. After I pointed out the multiple identities, Jolliette and 74.136.211.15 engaged in a bizarre sequence of edits to make it look like they were distinct people. Unfortunately, this person has given the game away on User talk:Hammersoft by contributing to the same (unconnected) discussion using two of his/her IDs. As there's only one registered user, I'm not sure how to go about registering this as sock puppetry and I wondered if you could point me in the right direction. There's no great rush as I'm now quite content to revert anything this user does and I know how busy you are.
Thanks, Dove1950 (talk) 20:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help in improving the Mexican Peso article. I think we are really getting somewhere. -- Jolliette Alice Bessette, -- 19:13, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Help needed: Brunei pitis

I've moved the Bruneian pitis to Brunei pitis to be in line with WP:N. However, that article is rather short. How do I request for a merger for that article to be included in the Brunei dollar article? --Novelty (talk) 06:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The instruction is at WP:MERGE. But I'm personally against the merge. A unwritten convention is that if the currency unit is different, it would have its own article. It just happens that pitis was a short-lived currency. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 16:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
OK, I won't request for the merge. However, it might be good if it gets written into the WP:N guidelines. Perhaps you can initiate that? --Novelty (talk) 02:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Mozilla Digital Memory Bank

Dear Chochopk,

I am a graduate research assistant at the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. In recent years we have produced a number of online archives such as The September 11 Digital Archive (http://911digitalarchive.org/) and the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank (http://www.hurricanearchive.org/). Our team is currently gathering digital documents related to Mozilla products for the Mozilla Digital Memory Bank (http://mozillamemory.org), and we are in the process of interviewing some of the lead members, former and present, of the Mozilla community.

I recently found your Mozilla/Firefox-related contributions located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mozilla_Firefox. Given your involvement with Mozilla, we think your voice would be an excellent addition to the archive. If you are interested in having your perspectives added to the record, we can conduct the interview via Skype, instant messenger, or email—whichever method might fit your schedule and preferences best.

I have included below the first three questions of the interview in order to give you a sense of the process. For examples of completed interviews, please feel free to examine the interviews section (http://mozillamemory.org/browse.php?cat=interview) of our archive.

If you are interested in contributing your perspectives on the Mozilla community and its products, you can reach me by e-mail at gcheong@gmu.edu. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions regarding the interview process or the Mozilla Digital Memory Bank.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Best regards,

Image map coordinates are according to the full-size image, not the visible image. So I updated the template. I'm not sure if the index is 0-based or 1-based. I assume it's 0-based. See Extension:ImageMap. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 14:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Macau Fisherman's Wharf

Do you think the confusing tag is needed in the article. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

What tag do you speak of? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 17:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Err, the article has a tag above saying "Part of this article may be confusing". Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
LOL! I can't believe I missed that. I guess I automatically ignore tags on articles I rarely edit. No, I don't find the article confusing. Instead, I think it needs expansion, if possible at all. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 17:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Then I will remove the tag from the article since both of us are agree that the tag is not needed. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Chinese yuan

Hello. I know that you are an expert on currency matters, so I would like to ask your opinion on my proposal in Talk:Chinese yuan#Chinese Yuan & Renminbi. I am pretty sure that this is not the first time similar ideas were proposed. The proposals are to (1) form a thorough history of the Chinese yuan from its birth in the late 19th century to now - including the yuan in use during imperial period -1911, yuan issued by the Nationalists KMT until 1949, and finally the contemporary RMB section, and (2) merge the RMB article into the Chinese yuan article (not the other way round). So, it will become somewhat like the Chinese currency article without the pre-19th century sections such as copper coins or cowry shells. Thank you for the reply.
