1. You may call me by my full screenname, "Caradhras" alone, or, rarely, "CA" and variants. Preferably not CA for obvious reasons, and definitely not "Aiguo". CaradhrasAiguo (talk) 03:42, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
2. Messages I left on your talk page ought to be continued there, not transferred here.
3. If here because of an edit I reverted via Huggle (HG), it would behoove you to keep your message short. Anything longer than about 50 words, I am inclined to ignore. If you do not A) sign your post or B) make a new section for it, I WILL ignore it.
4. I am also aware of COVID-19 discretionary sanctions (DS)

Translation

I've been looking for someone to improve zh:多爾縣 (威斯康辛州). The county has a sister city relationship with zh:景德镇市 and they are in the process of erecting some sort of public artwork recognizing this in 景德镇市. In 2019 dozens of students came over on the Summer Work Travel Program. If you would like to translate more of it, I am willing to help you out by doing some other task in return on the English or Spanish wikipedias. For example, I could expand Changzheng, Shanghai--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 17:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

As I have a deadline to fulfil, I won't get to expanding the ZH version of Door County, Wisconsin today, tomorrow perhaps. Hoping there is little struggle in finding Chinese transliterations for some of the smaller place names. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 19:33, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Here is a guide with tables and this site gives background into how Anglo place names have been rendered. Even if you botch a place name, Wisconsinites botched Algonquin place names a long time ago, and still are using the botched names today. Because of this, people from Wisconsin have no right to resent place name mistakes.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 03:42, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Since have not yet named an article you for me to improve in return, I improved (or so I thought), 16 Chinese location articles that you have made 10 or more edits to. I also fixed bifurcated wikidata entries for two Chinese locations, so all the languages show up in the list to the left. If you have any preferences as to a particular article you want to see improved, let me know.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 15:54, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Someone changed the Door County article. Now the number of state parks is incorrect because one is omitted (there are six, not five like the article says). Here is a link to a version of the Door County article with correct information.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 16:58, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

The Door County article is in better shape now and is suitable for translating again.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 21:28, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

common name

I see you have been changing China to People's Republic of China, which goes againt WP:COMMONNAME. MB 17:58, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Probably because "China" is ambiguous in certain cases. --Soumya-8974 (he) ^talk _contribs ^subpages 18:26, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

State's congressional districts

This edit may help you in the future articles. —GoldRingChip 20:00, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I had written my script / code to automatically add the date key. Otherwise, each state's table would have been too tedious! CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 20:09, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Unclear

Regarding your 3RR report. It's unclear if there is really an edit war, and it would be tedious to step through 100 edits to find out. (I don't know who is disagreeing with what). The stuff about damage to the lander was hard to understand, but it appears to be sourced. The most I can discern is that the person you reported made some incorrect charges of vandalism in their edit summaries, and that they made not have received a timely 3RR warning. Is there anything more you could do to clarify your report? EdJohnston (talk) 01:46, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

You put it correctly. The two "vandalism" reverts in the 06:00 hour (UTC) and the latter two partial reverts are perhaps pot shots. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 01:59, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

So we can't do much beyond a warning. EdJohnston (talk) 02:37, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

156.146.62.35?

Hi CaradhrasAiguo, regarding our previous discussion, I hope Special:Contributions/156.146.62.35 wasn't you? Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:12, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Thank you for implicitly "AGF". No, I A) do not know how to operate a proxy; B) am still in the D.C. area, have never visited Switzerland, and will not until well after COVID-19 calms down. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 00:03, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

No worries then! I hope the pandemic finally ends in 2021. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:06, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: If you grant permission here, I will email you...delving somewhat into my personal views which I do not wish to discuss publicly. It is neither a formal request to proxy edit nor to be unblocked. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 06:04, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

CaradhrasAiguo, how could I say no to that? Of course, feel free to. I probably won't respond – at very least not in detail – but I am genuinely interested in these views, and it really can't hurt to receive them in a way that excludes any impression of seeking a public platform for them. It also really can't hurt to get an insight into the other side of blocks from time to time. For the same reason, some RfA voters want administrators to have experienced the deletion of their own articles at least once. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:30, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Setting the correct expectations, that's great! I kept the body of the message under 250 words, as well. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 15:41, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
