General note: Please leave messages here if you have questions.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Here is some general information you may find useful: click here

Be Bold with your edits but also be moderate, check out the policy on NPOV, or neutral point of view and remember to cite your sources. Proper Wikiquette suggests it is a good idea to make a suggestion first on the discussion page of a controversial article before making substantial edits, if you wish to avoid an edit war. We do not own the material we contribute, so be prepared to have your entries edited mercilessly— the thought "but it's my article" should never cross your mind.

You can find help with editing at How to edit a page including how to do special characters and formatting, and the Manual of Style is also strongly recommended.

When most of us start working on Wikipedia or its sister projects we think of them mainly as information resources, but Wikipedia is also an international community. It is a way for us to share and collaborate as we work towards the elusive goal of consensus. Check out the Community portal at the left of any page to find many opportunities to work together.

You should sign your entries on Talk (discussion) pages with four tildes link this:~~~~, and you can indent your entry in a discussion thread by putting a colon (:) or several (:::) as needed in the left-hand margin. If you put a space as the first character on a line that line will remain unformatted (not recommended).

Happy Editing. --Blainster 10:07, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Windows 3.2

Quite surprised to come across you here. (I'm a happy user of your MS-DOS 7.10 :-)

As a person who is both Chinese and well-versed in history of Windows, could you please provide some background on Windows 3.2? I believe it deserves more than just one sentence, but couldn't find any relevant details. --tyomitch 15:14, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Windows Defender

Btw have you tried the "official workaround" on Windows 2000? :-) If you have access to Windows 2000 in a VM or real machine, can you please try that? : ) Does it install after installing GDI+ or is there an "XP required" enforcement in the MSI file? - xpclient ^Talk 11:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's why I haven't reverted. I'm asked merely so that our contributions remain 100% accurate and confirmed. :-) - xpclient ^Talk 18:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Qianlong

What made you think that they are tributes? The article clearly stated "Burmese thought Qing sought peace and Qing thought Burmese sent tributes to them". It's simple. Because Qianlong thought they were tributes doesn't necessary mean they are tributes. In fact, what you are considering tributes are not tributes, they are presents. A country pays something to other country doesn't necessary mean tributes. Beijing replied Burma with some presents as Burmese chronicles records. Shouldn't it be considered as Beijing pay tributes to Burma?

the Gengma native official earned Beijing's praise for facilitating the submission of Burma. The page clearly stated subterfuge used by Gengma official. Yes, that caused Beijing to think Burmese submitted to them while Burmese were replying conciliatory attitudes by Qianlong. This is just misunderstanding by Qianlong. He himself, interpreted them as victories. That all. Simply, my friend gave me a pencil as a friendly remark. I considered as a tribute, I can, but nobody is going to accept this reasoning. Same goes to Qianlong.

Anyway, what Qianlong interpret doesn't matter. What the matter is whether Burma submitted to China. Clearly they didn't. And the Sawbwa ruse didn't make them submit It just fake Qianlong to think that Burmese submitted while it fake Burma to think that Qianlong want peace. They faked both parties. I deleted the Invasion of Burma at Qing dynasty talk page. I think it doesn't relate to the article.

Thanks for the detailed message. Replied in your talk page. --Wengier (talk) 23:31, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apology for removing that discussion. (although it has been a year since then) It was a violation of talk page guidelines.. I did violate too many wiki rules when I was a newcomer. SWH^talk 06:24, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it. It's possible for anyone to violate certain wiki rules sometimes due to certain reason, especially for newcomers. But it will be no problem at long as he is good-faithed and willing to do it better in the future when he finds it. The important thing is to have mutual understanding, then everything will be fine. Thanks again. --Wengier (talk) 07:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Thanks! I removed my message because I think it might be a violation of WP:CANVASS. I know you would help if you were active at that time. SWH^talk 16:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of HX DOS Extender

Hello Wengier,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged HX DOS Extender for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 17:54, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Wengier! Your additions to New Qing History have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 19:56, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Was it your intention to quote that content? If that was you intention, it wasn't clear that it was a quote. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 19:57, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for leaving me a message. I originally indeed intended to quote the relevant content from the cited source as much as possible (but without taking too much space for the article), but considering the potential copyright issue I have now completely paraphrased the original content from the source, and with a small amount of direct quotations with double quotation marks as mentioned above, in order to more closely follow the said practices. Let me know if you have more concerns. Thanks again! --Wengier (talk) 20:34, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
