I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

I saw your note on the simplification of Chinese characters (many being pre-20th century). I agree that the current statement is rather broad brush. If you want a more sophisticated explanation, why not Be Bold! (a principle of Wikipedia) and make the changes yourself?

Dragonbones 你好! 欢迎你来Wikipedia. 我看你的Userpage text... hehe, 我的中文还不好 Well I just wanted to ask if you're interest to participate in my Project since I read that you are also dissapointed in the handling of Chinese things in Wikipedia. I'd be happy if you join. User:LiangHH/Chinese Romanization Saludos de Alemania. 亮HH 09:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Dragonbones. Your referencing and source noting is detailed and exemplary. Click on my name and look at my user contributions in regard to Chinese topics I have written and feel free to expand and correct. I notice your detail about oracle bones in the article on stroke order (which seems highly inappropriate hidden away only on the talk page). May I suggest you expand the section on oracle script. I am in the process of reading Keightley's Sources of Shang History at present. However, I'm too busy to edit much on wiki anymore. As it seems you have the same interests in this direction as I have, I wish you well. Dylanwhs 19:49, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Calligrapher Qu Leilei called it a 'goose-tail' stroke when I had a calligraphy workshop with him on the 18th March at the Royal Academy of Arts in London at the Three Emperors exhibition. He also called the beginning backward stroke 'silken-hands' or something which I can't remember so I didn't put that in there. That's why I put it there; because he called it that so it must be a correct term for the stroke. -- Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 17:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
The tone marks debate has been moved to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese)#Titles of articles to include tone marks?. While I don't necessarily agree with your position, I think you should be aware that the debate is ongoing.

Yes, there is a standard for placement of vandalism warnings. They should go on the talk page only. Let me know if you have any other questions. — Scm83x hook 'em 06:24, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Please unblock ASAP so that I can remove racist vandalism to my user page and continue with my editing work. The block was presumably just an error. In the meantime, could sb (even non-admin.) pls revert the vandalism to my user page ASAP and report the vandal? Thanks, Dragonbones 02:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
If you would so wish, I think semi-protecting your userpage could prevent vandalism (where only users who have been registered for a short time may edit), could help prevent vandalism of your userpage. If you would like such protection, I see no reason why I couldn't add it with your permission. Ian13/ talk 17:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
{{unblock|UNBLOCK pls; apparently side effect of autoblocker on ISP 211.72.108.18}} Blocked again, apparently a repeat of yesterdays error. Pls help! If possible I would also like to see something done to avoid recurrence of this. Dragonbones 08:25, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Since you've frequently contributed to the Shuowen article, I wanted to let you know that I've roughly reorganized it into sections. Please take a look and edit whatever you think needs to be changed. Best wishes. Keahapana 00:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
If you can do better, feel free to delete all this and to put something better. Yug (talk) 17:21, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Dragonbones,
I'm sorry to don't have a perfect English, but I wrote this Stroke_order#Read_the_Stroke_order_from_the_graph & Stroke_order#Three_National_stroke_order_schools on the stroke order article. Actually, I have no teacher and no book teaching this to me, but crossing many reading, this is the current opinion that I have about Stroke order. If you may give your opinion (you seem to know really more than me about Chinese characters) that will be really welcome. I think all this is accurate (or close to be), but I need the opinion of an "expert". ;) Yug (talk) 17:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi DB, nice to see you back here. I'm elsewhere, as a new lang wiki has recently been set up, so don't edit here much now. Keep up the good stuff :D Dylanwhs 07:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Dragonbones,
I'm currently in Taipei being the recipient of a 9 month Taiwan gouverment scholarship. Since you seems to live in Taipei, please can you contact me ( via email) to enable me to meet you in October 2007. I'm interesting to get place names where I will be able to buy cheap Cambridge history of China or other books ; to make some talks with you ; and to take a (some ? O.o) looks on your own library which seems to have some unfoundable books (Keightley 1978), always to improve my understanding of stroke order and calligraphy.
Regards

{helpme} The label affixed to my user page regarding its protection says "Editing of this page by new or unregistered users is currently disabled to prevent Dragonbones (talk • contribs • block logauto) and other new users from making disruptive edits." However, this makes it appear as if I, Dragonbones, have been making disruptive edits to my own page, which is misleading, as it was I who requested the protection to prevent editing by others. So I would like to suggest that the string "Dragonbones (talk • contribs • block logauto) and other new users from making" be deleted from this label, leaving "to prevent disruptive edits". Thanks!

Re: your recent edit to Chinese language:
Can you confirm that DeFrancis was talking about Putonghua, not Beifanghua? -- ran ( talk) 11:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Dragonbones, I responded to your post on the Jia Gu Wen.
Dude, we're like kindred spirits or something! I'm totally interested in Oracle and Bronze Scripts too and the etymology and variations of the Modern Chinese Script. Keep in touch, let's keep on good terms.
How many scholars/enthusiasts of the Oracle Bone are there? What do you think about me starting a Yahoo Group on it? Or is there some group and/or online forum for the organization of Oracle Bone enthusiasts? We should totally get this ball rolling. I mean, look at the development of Egyptian Hieroglyphic in the intellectual and cognitive tradition of the West. If we get this out there to meet the coming wave of young people interested in learning Chinese as a 2nd language, I say we could make an absolute killing, professionally and in terms of book sales.
Though I'm really in it for the satisfaction and enjoyment. To hell with the money. I could've been a petroleum engineer. What do you think?

Amazing, Dragonbones, your work is amazing. You may want to site your resources, though, at least in the Chinese Bronze Inscriptions article. Still, excellent.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jiangzhai_pottery_symbols.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse ( talk) 07:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Dragonbones, I don't know if you're still around, but I'm currently engaged in a discussion with user Asoer on whether East Asian Calligraphy is "calligraphy" or not. You've contributed to discussions on East Asian Calligraphy before, so I wonder if you could have a look in. [3]

Thank you for uploading File:Jiangzhai pottery symbols.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 13:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Banpo symbols.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.
