ANI edit

Sorry about the revert - my phone froze on me, and I didn't realize I had done it. I apologize for any frustration it caused, thanks for undoing it. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:49, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

@Barek: I thought it must have been some kind of mistake. Thanks for the explanation. Cheers! -Zanhe (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Gansu Flying Horse

Thanks (once again) for the knowledgeable input on Gansu Flying Horse. I actually wanted to reference the horse for a section I'm drafting on urban folklore/ legends concerning Zhou Enlai (one legend was that Nixon saw the horse and put it in his pocket & Zhou got it back). I was surprised to find that there was no article on it and got sucked in.

But I wonder if we want to keep the info on the ban on showing it abroad without checking how long it lasted and whether it's still in force. I originally thought not to include this info because there is a headnote at List of Chinese cultural relics forbidden to be exhibited abroad which says that it's out of date, and the two references are indeed from 2003. What's your thought?

Also, is there an info box for works of art? There is on the French Misplaced Pages. Cheers. ch (talk) 22:03, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

CWH, thanks a lot for creating the article. I know what it feels like to get "sucked in", it happens to me a lot too. :) As for the ban on showing it abroad, it's definitely still in force. The article is out of date because it only shows the first batch of 64 items, while two more batches were added in 2012 and 2013. The zh-wiki article has more information. -Zanhe (talk) 22:41, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I've now updated the article with some basic info about the two new batches. -Zanhe (talk) 23:02, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Good. Thanks for the info.ch (talk) 23:52, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Why did you change what I edited

Why did you change what I edited? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imthemanofdoom (talk • contribs) 06:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Because you were adding false statistics to the articles. -Zanhe (talk) 06:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Don't take it personally, Youretheladofdoom, he does that with real statistics, too. ^_^ — LlywelynII 23:25, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

What's that supposed to mean, LlywelynII? If it's a joke I don't find it funny. I already waste way too much time dealing with vandals and disruptive users, and giving them more straws to hold on to only means less time for me to write content. -Zanhe (talk) 04:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Hmm, can you prove that please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imthemanofdoom (talk • contribs) 03:18, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Llywelyn good to know, so does Zanhe do this alot? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imthemanofdoom (talk • contribs) 03:30, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Your were randomly changing numbers that are different from sources, and adding personal comments to an article. -Zanhe (talk) 04:24, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Show me these sources lol, you can't just accuse me without proof.......The US doesn't have the GDP per capita that the article says it does, its much lower. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imthemanofdoom (talk • contribs) 06:05, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

The source is already cited in the article, can't you read? For your convenience, here it is again. Your edits such as this one messed up all the numbers. If you do it one more time you'll be reported to WP:ANI for vandalism. -Zanhe (talk) 06:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Lol, except it's the truth, those sources clearly state that the US only has a GDP per capita of around $40 thousand and not $55 thousand, you must be a typical American. If you change one of my edits again I'll be reporting you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imthemanofdoom (talk • contribs) 17:41, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Also, when the word "Turkey" was changed to "Turkgay" on the Turkish Armed Forces article how come you didn't do anything about it? I find it very offensive that you only correct articles to do with America, I know you Americans can't really comprehend the World outside of US borders because of your poor education system but at least put up an effort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imthemanofdoom (talk • contribs) 17:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

That was nice

but I don't even think we disagree generally. In that instance, you weren't wrong: you were just following along with a counterproductive misinterpretation of one of the rules. But from the reaction of other editors when I brought it to their attention—"hey, yeah, we should just change the guideline, thx, ok, 88"—it's obvious that they're just ratcheting up standards as a kludge to deal with the backlog. Didn't seem to be any support for just keeping the rule as it existed, so I'll go back around and source/delete some of the sections til it works. — LlywelynII 23:23, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
