Iōng-chiá thó-lūn:A-yao

Hi, I've received a request (in English) for helping to make this account useful again. Since your account is not associated with a confirmed email address, it is impossible for a new password to be sent. (Note that confirmation was not required before.) Because accounts are never deleted, the only thing I can think of is to rename this account to another name and hope you will be able to recreate "A-yao" (no guarantee this will work). And of course you can also create a new account under a different name and ask an administrator to protect (lock) this one. Please let me know what you prefer, thanks.

Ok! But please remind me any developments of my situation. I'll keep in touch with you.

Thanks,

A-yao

Thanks for the advise and the retrieving of my user name. I have now changed my password. Again, thanks! A-yao 09:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Capitalization of surnames

Is it more suitable if the article of surnames can be capitalized? A-yao 09:08, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Surnames should be capitalized, in my opinion. A-giâu 09:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation of place names

Hi, A-yao,

• The 峨 of 峨眉鄉 apparently has only one reading (gô).
• The 萣 of 茄萣鄉 is most likely tēng (i.e. the literary reading).
• I'm less certain about 燕 in 燕巢鄉. It has several readings, of which the most common are ìⁿ (as in the bird; colloquial reading) and iàn (as in the singer Sng Iàn-chu, literary reading). Since 燕巢 describes a physical object, I'd go with the colloquial reading.

Of course, sometimes the only way to find out is to ask the locals. Chinese characters don't always reflect actual pronunciation, especially for place names which are corruptions of indigenous names.

The dictionary I use for the above [1].

Thanks, but I still have certain questions since I don't want to guess. Like 車, there are 2 pronounciations in the Mandarin. So, there is a risk that it also has 2 or more pronounciations in POJ. Please give the POJ of the ff.:

1. 車城鄉 of 屏東縣

2. 來義鄉 of 屏東縣

3. 高樹鄉 of 屏東縣

Please kindly check the above places since I also can't see them in a government websites. A-yao 12:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

zh:Wiktionary:姓氏<-->Sek-ín:jī-sìⁿ

Hello, :zh-min-nan:Sek-ín:jī-sìⁿ here in the Southern Min Wiktionary links to zh:Wiktionary:姓氏 on the Chinese Wiktionary. To create an interwiki link, add [[zh:Wiktionary:姓氏]] onto the page Sek-ín:jī-sìⁿ here in the Southern Min Wiktionary, similarly, add [[zh-min-nan:Sek-ín:jī-sìⁿ]] onto the page Wiktionary:姓氏 in the Chinese Wiktionary. I don't think that an interwiki bot will remove the link. In the case that RobotGMwikt does remove the link, then you should get into contact with the operator of this bot, GerardM on his talk page in the Dutch Wiktionary or the English Wiktionary.

Thanks for the advice, but since I established this article, I used the interwiki you have added, I will get in touch of him asap to tell him not to erase its interwiki. Again, thank you. A-yao 14:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Interwikis

Hoi,
One service that I provide for many wiktionary projects is to run an interwiki bot for wiktionary. For many of the bigger wiktionaries all changes are done automatically and a check is always done to check if this wiktionary has articles. The idea is that only when there is an article that is spelled exactly the same there should be a link.

One effect of the interwiki links is that people are more likely to cooperate.. there is plenty of room for cooperation. Thanks, GerardM 15:07, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
