[sửa] Re: zh-min-nan article "blank"
Hi A-giâu, sorry for not making myself clearer. Yesterday an anonymous user (with an IP of 132.181.7.1) started two pages here, Y-sô-ra-eân Quốc Vương (Vương quốc Israel) and Giu-ña Quốc Vương (Vương quốc Giu-đa). Both pages contained only an interwiki link to articles at the Minnan Wikipedia that the same user had started. Not only were the pages blank, but they were also titled incorrectly: "Y-sô-ra-eân" is an uncommon Vietnamese transliteration of "Israel" (compare [1][2]), and "Giu-ña" isn't even possible in Vietnamese, because we don't have the "ñ" character. The user very likely saw these search results, but those pages were encoded incorrectly, hence the tilde. In addition, Vietnamese (unlike Minnan) generally follows the "noun-modifier" order (as in Spanish or Italian), as opposed to the "modifier-noun" order (as in English or Minnan). On top of all that, "quốc vương" means "king", not "kingdom".
So to make a long story short, the user created blank articles here, and I took that as "forcing" a blank article on us. We've seen a few users doing that lately: creating blank articles so that someone would write it up for them. We'd much prefer that someone leave a message at our guestbook or the requested articles list, or that they simply contact a user here.

While we're on that note, would you mind translating our guestbook into Minnan? Thanks. – Nguyễn Xuân Minh (thảo luận, đóng góp) 20:02, ngày 07 tháng 2 năm 2006 (UTC)
