Disambiguation link notification for July 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited University Practice Secondary School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Central Region. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Li Ching-Yuen

Recent edits to Li Ching-Yuen

Hello :User:Masssly, care to explain why you feel it was better before? Every other biography page has age at death and I took pains to emphasise that it was a claimed age. If it was that we haven't an exact date, then every article I've every read on him gives those ages and ages aren't usually sourced so I didn't.

Thanks for alerting me though, it was very considerate of you, few users would have done the same.

Hello Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh, I noticed you included Li Ching-Yuen's aged as 256 or 197 and so I reverted your edit (without looking at his birth date) because it was impossible for one to live that long. Having now looked carefully it is either his birth or his death is wrong I don't know which. One of them must be deleted. I am open to your suggestions. Meanwhile you were not wrong to include the age because both his birth and death dates were already in the article. Cheers!—M@sssly^✉ 18:25, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested deletion

Hi user:Masssly,

Thanks for your reply, regarding whether to delete Li Ching Yuen's birth or death date, I think I remember reading somewhere that his death was reported at the time in a newspaper, I'm not sure which, it might have been the times. Hope this helps!
