	If you're wondering why I moved the portals around, having them in the DMCB_Wiki namespace was leaving them out of search results. I consulted with Simon and I think this is the way to go. Not a big change, but should improve search results for stuff that's listed in the portals but may not yet have an article of its own. --[[User:Greg\|Greg]] 09:45, 2 March 2011 (CST)		If you're wondering why I moved the portals around, having them in the DMCB_Wiki namespace was leaving them out of search results.

		+	Hey Erik, I'm starting to add some of my transcribed documents to the wiki as an experiment. Ideally these would have translations alongside or following the original text. I'm just doing this since I'm making these as part of my dissertation work, and I thought they would add to the site by being posted here. I'll see about coding a template for improving the layout and text size of the Chinese font for these articles too. Also will add a portal page if we make enough of them.

	I think using the pinyin for the shortened reference is more accurate than the English translation, of which there could be several variants anyway. Any thoughts/suggestions?

		+
		+	----
		+
		+	I do see what you mean. It's not a huge deal but, I think the reason why I want to leave the English translations outside the bold formatting is because they are so tentative. There are a few possibilities for each titles, and usually no standard way of translating any of them. So the bold part represents the reliable term for the item, while the English translation is only meant as a help for those without Chinese ability.

		+	== First and Subsequent References to Publication Titles ==
		+
		+	I don't know if we ever discussed this, but I think we need a standard format for first and subsequent references to publication titles in articles. As far as I can see, there are these elements to consider:
		+
		+	* First (full) reference
		+	** Pinyin title
		+	** Hanzi title
		+	** English translation of title
		+	* Subsequent (shortened) reference
		+	** Which elements from the full reference to use?
		+
		+	I'll use ''Hǎicháoyīn'' as an example of what I propose:
		+
		+	* First (full) reference: ''Hǎicháoyīn'' [[海潮音]] (''Voice of the Sea Tide'')
		+	** If the first reference is part of the article title, then the first two elements are in bold but the hanzi is not linked: '''''Hǎicháoyīn'' 海潮音''' (''Voice of the Sea Tide'')
		+	* Subsequent (shortened) reference: ''Hǎicháoyīn''
		+	* The hanzi should never be italicized, but book and periodical titles should always be
		+
		+	I think using the pinyin for the shortened reference is more accurate than the English translation, of which there could be several variants anyway. Any thoughts/suggestions?

		+	Ok sounds good, let's leave it for now. But I do think it is possible to have the registration system automatically email us without exposing the address to the public. If the spam account ever become a real problem, I'll look into it.

		+	== New Users and Spam ==
		+
		+	There's been quite an uptick in spam accounts recently. I wonder if the increased exposure of the site in search engines is causing this. What do you think about moving to a system where someone who wants an account needs to first email one of us? That why we could try to prevent spam accounts from being made. There wouldn't be any real restrictions on who can join, just a confirmation that they are a human and not looking to spam the site.

		+	== Print Bibliography ==
		+
		+	I'm trying to figure out how to foreground the print bibliography and related resources a little better. Now that the bibliography and publication section is being fleshed out a bit more, these resources don't seem to fit any more. Can you think of a good place to put them? Maybe in a new "Research Sources" section?
		+
		+	Also I finally have access to the MFQ/B again, hope to add more details about individual periodical titles soon.

	PS: Don't forget about the new format for articles when creating new pages. The article subject should appear in the intro text in bold, and then headers are used further down as section headings. I like what's been added, though!		PS: Don't forget about the new format for articles when creating new pages.

		+	I can definitely make up a larger map. I will also keep a copy of the image that can be edited to add items in the future as well.
		+
		+	I think the new(er) style for articles ought to be used across the board. I can't think of a style of article that it wouldn't fit, but of course it doesn't have to be an iron-clad rule.
		+
		+	Completely agree with you re: disambiguation at the top of the article. Might be a good idea to make up a template for this sort of notice as well.
