Hello, my friend. Long time! :) I hope all is well on your end. Sooooo, another typhoon season cometh. We've bungeed all the cows down here to prevent last years catastrophe known as "Rain of milk" and "Mooing thunder".
About the shoes, we need a pic. Me? You? Race ya! Seriously, I'll look, but I don't remember seeing any in the shops. All the best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:39, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hey there. Long time no see indeed! There was a typhoon earlier this week that passed us by, but I'm sure we'll get plenty of direct hits later on. Unfortunately I don't think I've ever seen the shoes in Taipei either--you can apparently buy them online (with same-day shipping, sheesh), but I've never seen them in person. Do you think we might have better luck asking someone on Flickr to release a photo under CC? This one looks quite nice (there are a good many others). (Speaking of that article, most of the references aren't very good and some are plain dead links... Ah well.) wctaiwan (talk) 08:27, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
Can you help?
[edit]I started Feminism in Taiwan because I didn't think it right that such an article was missing. If you have a chance, it'd be great if you could help out. It's an area of considerable academic study so there are plenty of sources, but its far from my area of expertise. Cheers, St★lwart111 05:29, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Stalwart111: I'm afraid it's really not something I'm familiar with either (and I tend to be better at say, looking up sources for a claim, than writing articles from scratch). Great job starting the article, though; the topic definitely deserves coverage. Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful. wctaiwan (talk) 22:50, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
- No problem at all! If I need to find sources I might come back to you. Cheers, St★lwart111 22:56, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Re: Martinsville Bulletin
[edit]Quoting your response to me:"Given that you're creating a new article (so there is no issue with attributing old revisions) and the existing article is just a redirect (and doesn't seem to have been deleted previously), you can simply go ahead and overwrite the redirect with your new article. However, please make sure the subject matter is sufficiently notable before creating the article. Thanks."
Wikipedia will not let me rename my sandbox page to Martinsville Bulletin because of the previous redirect, so i asked for other editors' help in the original request. Thanks. JeffConn (talk) 04:58, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Example
[edit]I discovered you redesigned User:Example's user page for no reason. The old one looked fine. The new one looked dull. 49.148.72.29 (talk) 06:11, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I disagree, but feel free to bring it up for discussion (perhaps at WP:VPM?) and change it back if others agree with you. wctaiwan (talk) 02:43, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Regarding Extension:Thanks
[edit]I was modifying extension:Thanks for my private wiki, and had some questions to ask, so are you still active with MediaWiki? and can you plz guide me?103.118.50.4 (talk) 09:37, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not particularly active on Wikipedia or in MediaWiki development anymore. If you need help, Please see the options at mw:Communication. wctaiwan (talk) 05:14, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
