Talk:Wharf Theater

message: Notablilty? Probability of further references? Thoughts anyone?--Amadscientist (talk) 22:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think finding additional reliable sources is going to be difficult, as the theatre itself is not very notable "today". The Ariss connection is certainly notable, but not sure if that justifies the entire article.  It's hard for me to say that, because I have a fondness for the Wharf Theater, having worked on a number of early productions there, including the first production of Guys and Dolls, as well as assisting with the final renovation work leading up to that production. But, if deleted, the Ariss connection should be in the article on him (if there is one and its not already mentioned). More notable, in terms of the theatre itself, would be the original theatre and the one located downtown, now the site of the Golden State Theatre, which is now the most notable theatre in Monterey since it presents name artists of international renown. All that, of course, should be in the Monterey article. Not sure if that helps, but I thought I'd respond to your request for comments above. Smatprt (talk) 00:56, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a good question. Even if provinces are new, the names may be old (formerly the name of something other than a province), or else the names are of Sinitic origin and thus have a meaning and phonetics that derive from Chinese. The problem seems to be that there is no accessible source giving the etymologies of place names in Vietnam, as, for example, we have for the names of all 50 states in the United States. If you could find such a source it would be wonderful. Right now we're relying on the expert from the Nom Foundation in Vietnam who provided the list of Hán tự for the province names about two years ago. Badagnani (talk) 17:23, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Protectorate General to Pacify the West

message: Hi I've noticed that user Zcm11 has been deleting content from this article based on claims of original research. While I strongly object to them and have explained why in my undo edits, I realize that there have been a number of changes to this article by me in the past few months, and the sources may not be entirely clear to readers. 
To make things simple I will explain my methodology in the changes which have gone into the History section:
1. My first "wave" of material was based on direct translations from the Chinese wiki. Where such material still remain, I've included the sources used in the Chinese wiki. 
2. My second "wave" of material was based primarily on Xiong's Dictionary of Medieval China. I corroborated the dates between the Chinese wiki and Xiong, making adjustments and changes according to conflicting and obscure information. Dates which did not match or have no approximation have been eliminated, although Xiong takes precedence as his is the most recently published material. Where Xiong does not include specific names but provides corroborating dates with material found on the Chinese wiki, I have chosen to include wiki material using both their sources and the appropriate page citation in Xiong's work. 
3. My third "wave" of changes use a handful of miscellaneous works. The same procedure was applied. Dates and events were corroborated. Where there was conflicting material, the date and event were excluded. When one side provided additional material, both sources are used. 
The most recent published English text always takes precedence over the wiki. Only when the Chinese wiki contains material which does not conflict with and corroborates at least in part, whether in name or date, with published material, is it included.
I hope this helps.
Do not use a primary source (even when is tertiary source)  when most damn chinese can't even read themselves. If you wanna translate provide the original text side by side the translated  text at the same time as well. Check out how this is done in Fire arrow under reference.
