@Quistnix: Ik zag deze bewerking dus gecondoleerd met Spooky, ik heb (helaas) vorige maand ook één van mijn katten (Giuliano, een Maine Coone van bijna twintig) ook gedag moeten zeggen dus weet ik hoe jij je voelt. Ik plaats dit hier sinds je waarschijnlijk liever niet iets zo negatief op je overlegpagina wil zien en eraan herinnerd wil worden. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 12:21, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
- Dank je Donald, en jij ook gecondoleerd met Giuliano. Spooky was al een tijdje ziek, maar de dierenarts wist pas sinds woensdag wat hem mankeerde, en helaas was dat terminaal. Ik had gehoopt hem nog een paar weekjes bij ons te kunnen houden, maar daar deed ik Spooky duidelijk geen plezier mee. Gisteren heb ik de moeilijke beslissing genomen om hem door de dierenarts uit zijn lijden te laten verlossen. Quistnix (talk) 13:07, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Quistnix: Ik heb meer geluk gehad, Guliano had 5 (vijf) verschillende vormen van kanker en met zijn leeftijd was dat al te verwachten, hij was één van de katten van mijn oudste zoon en wij wisten al twee maanden lang dat hij zal sterven en lieten hem inslapen toen hij pas écht pijn begon te krijgen, wij hadden het al door toen wij bloed in zijn haarballen vonden, onze andere kat Kim Ngọc (金玉) is even oud als hem maar mankeert gelukkig niks. Ik heb even geen tijd maar geef een wat meer gedetailleerdere antwoord op de 5 (vijf) vleermuizen en het verschil tussen munten, amuletten en (bronze) spiegels. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:31, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [1]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 19 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [2][3]
- The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [4][5]
- All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [6]

Sword to do list
Currently there are not many Chinese numismatic charms displaying swords oj Wikimedia Commons, I want to upload an image of every category below.
Chinese charms and amulets with sword symbolism ==
See also Chinese swords and polearms|Ghosts in Chinese culture
[[Sword]]s are a common theme on Chinese numismatic charms and amulets, and there are even a lot of Chinese talismans shaped like swords made from coins, the usage of swords in Chinese numismatic charms has a long history. Most Chinese numismatic charms and amulets that feature swords often only show a single swords, while those that display two swords are reasonably uncommon. According to Chinese legends the first swords in Chinese history appeared under the reign of the legendary [[Yellow Emperor]], the Yellow Emperor fought with a tribal chief named [[Chi You]] (蚩尤) who was described by ancient Chinese legends as having a copper bull-shaped head with an iron forehead. Chi You was also skilled in the art of blacksmithing and myths credit him for the invention of [[dagger-axe]]s, [[halberd]]s, [[lance]]s, [[long spear]]s, tribal spears, and swords. During the [[Spring and Autumn Period]] the notion that swords could not only be used against human enemies but also against evil spirits and demons came to being. Under the [[Liu Song dynasty]] swords started becoming a common instrument in religious rituals, most particularly in Taoist rituals, this was deemed so important that is became a must for those who studied Taoism to be able to forge swords which had the capability to dispel demonic entities according to the Taoist "Daoist Rituals of the Mystery Cavern and Numinous Treasure" (洞玄靈寶道學科儀). Many Taoist sects around this time were created that were focused on swords believing that swords could not only defeat demons but contained medical properties. Under the [[Sui dynasty|Sui]] and [[Tang dynasty|Tang dynasties]] ritualistic swords constructed of peach wood started to appear. Around this time Chinese amulets which used swords based on the aforementioned legends started being produced, often these amulets resembled Chinese cash coins but had crossed swords decorated with ribbons or fillets on them, as the ancient Chinese believed that these items enhanced the powers of the item they were tied to. Chinese swords commonly are engraved with imagery representing the [[Big Dipper]] and this also became common for Chinese amulets that featured swords. In symbolism where swords are combined with the Big Dipper ribbons are used less frequently due to the believe that swords could draw their magical properties from this constellation which had unlimited power.<ref>Sirën, Osvald. 1970.

University of California, [[Berkeley, California]]. 279 pp. + 72 pls.</ref> The image of two swords on Chinese amulets stems from a legend where Taoist leader [[Zhang Daoling]] saw [[Laozi]] appear to him on a mountain in present-day [[Sichuan]] and gave him two swords. Alternatively two swords can also represent two dragons which come from a legend where a man named [[Lei Huan]] (雷煥) received two swords in the city [[Fengcheng]] (豐城). He kept one sword himself while he gave the other sword to his son [[Lei Hua]] (雷華). On a day Lei Hua carried his sword while crossing the [[Yanping Ford]] (延平津), his sword suddenly dropped out of its scabbard and then fell into the river below and sank. Lei Hua ordered one of his servants to retrieve his sword by swimming into the river and diving to fetch it, under the water the servant tasked with finding the sword only witnessed 2 coiled and entwined Chinese dragons.<ref>Sullivan, Michael. 1977.

Seven Arts Book Society, New York. 511 pp.</ref><ref>Chinasage.info [http://www.chinasage.info/deities.htm Chinese Deities]. Retrieved: 25 June 2018.</ref> Another popular way swords are integrated in Chinese numismatic charms and amulets is by stringing Chinese cash coins or imitations of cash coins into a sword-shape, in Feng shui these coin-swords are often hung above windows or on the side of walls because it is believed that demons and evil spirits would be frightened away by these objects because these swords resemble the sword of [[Zhong Kui]]. Chinese charms and amulets depicting swordsman usually depict one of the Taoist immortals Zhong Kui or [[Lu Dongbin]], these two individuals can often be recognised by their attire and other symbolism around them, however it isn't always clear which swordsman is depicted on these charms, swordsman further appear on zodiac charms, Bagua charms, elephant chess pieces, lock charms, and other categories of Chinese numismatic charms. Another person who appears on Chinese amulets is [[Zhenwu]] who is regarded as the perfect warrior.<ref>Munsterberg, Hugo. 1949. A Short History of Chinese Art. Mich. State Col. Press, East Lansing.
