Talk:Taiwanese indigenous peoples/Archive 3

message: "Gaoshan–Pingpu" and "Mountains–Plains" are horrible renditions into English.  The best rendition I have is "Highland–Lowland" (with analogy to Scotland). – Kaihsu 17:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

message: *The sidebar was in my user space rather than template space deliberately — there has been something of a movement, for various reasons, to move template out of template space & into user space. But that is not my concern, really: I don't care where it is located.
* The sidebar presents a "one glance" summary of info. It is far far far quicker to pull this info from the sidebar that to read the lead.
*The sidebar is visually appealing.
*FAs with sidebars include Tamil people,  Azerbaijani people, etc.

message: "Very few Taiwanese are willing to entertain the idea of having aboriginal genes." I know that was true a decade ago... Is that current, or outdated? --Ling.Nut 16:13, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This would seem to fit with my impression that some Taiwanese do not clearly distinguish between descent from aboriginal Taiwanese and descent from early Chinese settlers. This can be misleading for interviewers who are not careful and thorough. Mccajor 14:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  outdated info? 

message: This article has improved markedly, but I still have to fail it again for Good Article status.  It is MUCH closer now, and there are only 2 issues that need fixing:
#Everything is referenced (which is good) but we still have a mix of styles.  WP:CITE and WP:MOS does not favor one style of references over another, but please pick a single style and stick to it.  Either do all inline footnotes or all parenthetical notes.  Note, I would not have failed the article ONLY for this (see below) but it would have caused me to put the article on hold.
#Non-free images: No article can be elevated to GA status while its legality is questionable, and this one has some issues with images of questionable usage.  Mainly, there are several images where either the fair-use or free-use status is unclear (such as Rukai chief.jpg in the infobox) or which appear to be outright fair-use violations (such as Taiwan aborigine en.jpg ).  This MUST be fixed before GA status will pass.  
Once those issues have been addressed, please renominate it again.  This is a very well-written and extensive article yet, and it is almost up to the qualifications of a good article.  See WP:WIAGA for general criteria for Good Articles and WP:FAIR for issues relating to the fair use of images.  Good luck, and I hope you can make these fixes!  --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Failed GA (2nd nom) 

message: * This article listed at WP:GA/R for review of failed GA. Thanks! --Ling.Nut 23:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Uhh, please choose one style to list references, I've noticed that there are two or three.--Jerrypp772000 19:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there's only one referencing style. :-) You do see a separate "notes" section, which includes Footnotes, and which is accomplished via <ref> tags. You do not see more than one referencing style... or if you do, then please provide examples :-) --Ling.Nut 20:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Footnotes are a kind of ref style, aren't they?--Jerrypp772000 20:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

text: So footnotes aren't references? What are they then? Because it says in WP:CITE that they are a way to cite sources.--Jerrypp772000 21:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

text: yes, that format is a way (read: a style) to cite references... there is probably a section in WP:MOS about separate Notes and References sections... footnotes are notes, and a footnoting style can be used for references and/or notes. --Ling.Nut 21:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Notice the section above this one, it says Either do all inline footnotes or all parenthetical notes.--Jerrypp772000 21:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

text: There are two styles according to the reviewer of the section above: footnotes or parenthetical notes. And I see both in this article.--Jerrypp772000 22:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
