I'm concerned that you are creating dozens of unreferenced stubs. Perhaps you could flesh them out a bit more before you continue? Per ], "The very first thing you should write in a new article is a list of the source(s) for the information in it." ] <small>(])</small> 19:24, 26 August 2011 (UTC) |

:::I don't understand why you think having NPP look at the articles you are creating is a problem. If you're creating proper new articles, then they will be quickly patrolled. You're still free to expand wikipedia without hindrance. |
|
|
:::However, blasting out 72 virtually empty articles in 6 minutes is not the way you should be going about it. You will now have the benefit of additional eyes on the articles you create. It's not a bad thing. ] <small>(])</small> 20:52, 26 August 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
::::I agree, having Autopatrolled status gives us no authority or 'powers' apart from having a non lit bar on the new articles' page! Sorry if I caused an inconvience with the 72 Spanish articles, that was my only time I have done something like that. Other than that, most of my articles are very high quality - I created ] and it appeared on the front page etc. However if I were to destroy all of the red links of ], should I do exactly the same but add more references with them?

:::::I think one ref should be sufficient. ] <small>(])</small> 22:30, 26 August 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
:::::No point in adding a reference just for the sake of it. Unless you add population or other data then a reference is redundant. The interwiki tag clearly shows that it is to be translated. UNless Jaguar can find a directory population list then it would not be efficient to start them like that. The most important thing is that missing articles from other wikipedias are started and when there are so many missing sometimes this is the easiest way to get English wikipedia working towards such content at all costs..♦ ] 16:23, 27 August 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
::::::The population list is already there at ]. Some villages I created have over 3000 population so they are already notable. However all I need to do is to find a Spanish census reference for the articles and that would count as a reference for population amongst over things. ] (]) 16:31, 27 August 2011 (UTC) |

In response to your query about developing the stats table for ].

Hi there, Jaguar. Might I ask what you're using to create these articles so quickly? — ] 15:53, 19 October 2011 (UTC) |

:Nothing but browser tabs. If you really want to know I have a draft at ] and I copy and paste that using <nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki> in the articles. I go to ] and click all of the red links and use the browser tabs to create articles. Don't worry about the references, I have already discussed this with a sysop and we both agreed I can create any number of articles as long as they have a suitable reference. Regards ] (]) 16:40, 19 October 2011 (UTC) |

I wish you'd have created these with the proper districts categories, an infobox and population. The population figures are there on the list page for taking! It would have meant much less maintenance work at a later date for getting the initial basics down. Anyway.♦ ] 20:54, 19 October 2011 (UTC) |
|

No worries, actually I finished all of them aside from one or two odd ones as I wanted them to be consistent.♦ ] 20:15, 24 October 2011 (UTC) |

|
|
|
Yeah it does make it easier when people come to add coordinates/population. The infobox in ] is what I generally use length-wise, although you'l have to find the timezone in advance. You can just add a subst:PAGENAME in the infobox name parameter too. ♦ ] 20:30, 24 October 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
You could next create stubs on ] and the others. They list them like http://www.xzqh.org/html/he/01/ but you could just reference them to www.xzqh.org. I'll probably give you a hand.♦ ] 20:52, 24 October 2011 (UTC) |

:It would be a lot better if you would create these a bit slower, but with better info. Simply linking to the exact pages for these twonships, instead of the general list, is much more useful for anyone wanting to expand the articles later. E.g. ] could be linked to . It would be a serious improvement if you could incorporate this into your articles. ] (]) 12:44, 27 October 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
::I could have sworn there was a link to the townships in the infobox, anyway; I removed the township link in the prose so it could be faster to create the articles but there is already a link in the article that directs you to the list of places in ], so anyone could still find it despite the link being missing in the prose. ] (]) 13:17, 27 October 2011 (UTC) |

:::Yes, but that is a lot more complex for someone like me who doesn't read Chinese. I have to copy the link to Google translate, find the correct page on the Google translated page, and then, when I click the link there, I get an access denied. If I have the correct link, I have to put that only once in Google translate, and I get the necessary info immediately (ignoring the problems with Google translate for the moment). You are writing for English speaking (or reading) persons here, so anything that makes their life easier is better, and in the case of non-English (and even non-Latin) sources, linking directly to the appropriate link is really a big improvement. ] (]) 13:25, 27 October 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
::::If you have Google Chrome (which I'm not using at the moment) it can translate a whole page automatically so you wouldn't have to bother to use Google Translate. But are you saying that I have to look up an individual Chinese village and use www.xzqh.org for a reference? That would take a very long time. ] (]) 13:39, 27 October 2011 (UTC) |
|

:::::The name of every village you create from that page, is also an URL. It shouldn't be too hard to get the url at the same time as you get the name from that page, I think. Perhaps the good doctor (Blofeld) can give some advice? ] (]) 13:56, 27 October 2011 (UTC) |

Hi. Can you correct the ones you've started The bold title only had 2 at the beginning not 3. Would be tough to locate the exact townships in the site but you could probably locate them at a later date doing a google search in the chinese name. I think its OK just to provide a link to the Hebei page on that site at least its in the right ball park. We'll obviously need Chinese speakers to expand them all. Also remember to update the date of the ref!♦ ] 19:04, 28 October 2011 (UTC) |

] is not likely to be one of the best Good Articles on Misplaced Pages, but it can be a Good Article if you deal with the remaining issues. It can be easier to get a minor topic listed as a Good Article as there is less to write about, and fewer sources to read, but there can be the difficulty of finding something interesting to say, and of finding enough material to use in the article! Each topic brings its own problems! I can see you are having problems with things like the climate. Just bear in mind that if there is little or nothing to say, then say little or nothing - don't try to pad it out. Climate is really not important, and not having a climate section on a small town in England would not hold it back from being listed as a Good Article. I have made suggestions for what you can do. As the work needed is minor, and this GAN has gone on for over a month, I have put a 48 hour limit on doing the improvements. At the end of that time I will close the GAN one way or the other. |
