EDIT: Quick reminder, you have to nominate specific stories! Broad things like 'Egyptian Mythology' instead of a specific myth or 'Murder Ballads' will have to be queried and then possibly rejected. It helps if you link me the source to the story you're using too for the spreadsheet I make of sources, but that's not a requirement!

I nominated two stories where the character tags don't seem to be associated with the story. Basically, I have no idea what I'm doing, and would appreciate help on how to format them?
The stories are:

- The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl
http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/835790-the-cowherd-and-the-weaver-girl/
(Nominated: Weaver Girl, Cowherd, their daughter, and the ox)
*Weaver Girl and Cowherd seem to be associated with the Chinese mythology tag. Should I change the fandom tag?

- The Ballad of Mulan
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Translation:Ballad_of_Mulan
(Nominated: Mulan, Mulan's older sister, Mulan's younger brother, one of Mulan's comrades in arms)
*There are different tags in the archive for Mulan, Hua Mulan and Fa Mulan. The second name comes from a later 16th century play that also marries off Mulan without her consent, and the third name is Disney's transliteration of the Cantonese pronunciation of the second name. I'd prefer using the tag for Mulan, if that's possible?

Thank you for the sources!

For the first one, I will approve it and modify their tags to have their story in brackets behind the names to disambiguate them properly.

For the second, when you say 'the tag' do you mean the Shi part? I can do the same thing as I'm doing with the cowherd story if that would please you. So the tag would be: Mulan (Mùlán Shī | Ballad of Mulan) and so forth.

Thank you! That makes a lot more sense.

For the second part, ignore me. I thought I had to use one of the existing tags to disambiguate them /o\

*salute* glad to do my duty. Approving them now.

(and it's an easy mistake to make. I'VE made the mistake.)

Thank you! :D
