Talk:Mustafa Shokay

message: first, it is unnessary to put "age:119" he already died and i dont know how to edit. secondly, the article says he died in 1941,
but Turkestan legion says Turkistan legion was formed in 1942. so, how did he help the legion established?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.104.230 (talk) 05:58, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Mustafa Shokay started recruiting Central Asian POWs into the Turkestan legion in the autumn of 1941, but died before the Turkestan legion was deployed in any military capacity. The Turkestan legion was mobilized for battle in 1942, after Mustafa Shokay's death. If you read carefully, there is no contradiction. However, more details may need to be added.

File talk:Admin logo.gif

message: I hate to point this out, but one of the fundamental rules of the GFDL is that you can't distribute anything derived from a GFDL work under a less free license.  Since I believe even a simple "flipbook" animation like this most likely counts as a derived work rather than as mere aggregation, and since neither of the authors of Goldenwiki.png or Wikipe-tan mopping.png seem to have granted the Foundation an unrestricted license to their work, it would seem to me that this image is likely in violation of the GFDL.
Come to think of it, the image probably also violates Wikimedia Foundation's copyright, assuming explicit permission (as required by commons:Template:Copyright by Wikimedia) for the use of the logo in this animation has not been requested or granted.  As I find it unlikely that the Foundation would suddenly decide to release the Wikipedia logo (and Admin mop.PNG specifically) under the GFDL, it seems to me that, unless explicit permission can be obtained from both the foundation and the authors of the two other original images, this image will have to be deleted as a copyright violation.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 22:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Having thought about this further, I now believe that an animation may in fact count as an aggregate, as defined in section 7 of the GFDL, of its individual frames, provided that, as required by that section, "the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit."  Thus, while I'm no longer convinced that this image necessarily constitutes an inevitable GFDL violation, I do believe that the license statement must be changed to make explicit that the different frames are licensed differently.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tangut people

message: I think it would be helpful to point out that Dǎngxiàng is only the standard pinyin romanization of the modern Mandarin Chinese pronunciation of 黨項（党项）. In Cantonese, the ethnonym of the Tangut would be romanized as Dong2-hong6, and in Korean, it would be romanized as Danghang.

thread_title: Did Tanguts establish any other state except Western Xia? 

message: Church of the East in China says:
: By the end of the century two new metropolitan provinces had been created for China: Tangut and 'Katai and Ong'.[11]
: The province of Tangut covered northwestern China, and its metropolitan seems to have sat at Almaliq. The province evidently had several dioceses, even though they cannot now be localised, as the metropolitan Shemʿon Bar Qaligh of Tangut was arrested by the patriarch Denha I shortly before his death in 1281 'together with a number of his bishops'.[12] 
I don't know if Tangut is used as a generic geographic designation or if it means that there were Nestorian Tanguts.

message: i have a question: this article describes the early career of Maruyama Okyo(1733-1795)
 
"The shop began selling European stereoscopes, novelties that when looked into presented the illusion of a three-dimensional image. It was Ōkyo's first look at Western-style perspective,[1] and in 1767 he tried his hand at one of the images. He created Harbour View, a small picture in single-point perspective. Ōkyo soon mastered the techniques of drawing stereoscope images "
