Here is a brief guide on how to create Mandarin entries User:Jamesjiao/How_to_Create_a_Chinese_entry. It seems that you only have entry level knowledge in Mandarin, so please be very careful when creating entries for more advanced terms like 節制. Remember Mandarin is not the same as Japanese.

Adding bogus terms

[edit]

You recently added 霞霧, which I have never heard of and can find in no other dictionary. It generates only 34 hits at present at google:"霞霧", and a cursory glance through those results will show that the only integral uses (i.e. where there isn't punctuation between the two characters) appear to be user names.

You also added a link to the Japanese Wikipedia at w:ja:霞霧, which page doesn't exist either (nor does the site even have any mention of the term, as evidenced at http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/特別:検索/霞霧).

Please make sure that a word exists before adding it. Adding bogus terms is a great way to get blocked. -- Eiríkr ÚtlendiTala við mig 00:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

You've also added a Japanese entry for 鑽石, only this term isn't Japanese. Once again, you linked to the Japanese Wikipedia, but clearly never looked to see if the page even existed (it does not). I'm giving you a three-day block. Please use this time to read up on Wiktionary:Criteria for Inclusion. Please also use this time to familiarize yourself with other sources for learning Japanese. These might include the following websites (JA dictionaries):
