Hi all, I've started two articles, Shanghai Botanical Garden and Fraxinus hubeiensis , but have found adding information slow going. Any chinese-speakers are welcome to add material on the net to them from chinese websites (which I cant read). The first one is expanded enough for a DYK, the second has a way to go. Anyone chipping in will be much appreciated. Cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 13:53, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
I've just nominated China for a GA assessment. It's been 3 years since the article was delisted as a good article, and the article has had a significant revamp in the past few months since the PRC to China move. The problems that caused the article to be delisted back in 2009 have pretty much all been solved. If there is anything the article needs in regards to improvement, feel free to lend a hand. -- 李博杰 | — Talk contribs email 16:53, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

I found a useful collection of webpages which details a "year in review" for the economic history of each of China's provinces and autonomous regions. Here's one random region (Ningxia) in years 2004 [1] and 2005 [2] from which you can navigate to other provinces. Maybe somebody with better Google-fu than me could find pages for the years 2006 and later, or 2003 and earlier, so that we could build history articles that are less biased towards political events. In a similar vein, Asian Survey publishes articles like "China in 2009", "China in 2010" (and for other Asian countries as well), which project members could use to turn list articles like 2010 in the People's Republic of China into something more analytical.

I went to read the Shaoxing article this morning and was rather appalled at how such an important city had such a lousy article (and I don't use this vocabulary very liberally). I updated it with the common list of praises for Shaoxing I hear all the time from Chinese people, but they may not very well be so accurate, and I've had some difficulty finding sources for some of their claims (mainly how progressive its environmental protection is). I also couldn't find simple stuff like yearly rainfall, average monthly temperatures which any minor city has info for. Where do people get that info?
This article should really be improved, it's of too great importance not to be, and I'm hoping someone else can also work on it and add some information to it. Thanks for any additional help! -Devin Ronis (d.s.ronis) ( talk) 22:59, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

If the articles don't exist could somebody make some geography stubs? Thank you all for your help. -- Tobias1984 ( talk) 10:55, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
I would double check the spelling of these names and what exactly they are referring to. Are you sure they are cities, villages...? They are all correct pinyin syllables, but they are rather impossible to find. I can't find Chinese characters for any of them. I even went and looked up the complete administration subdivisions going down to townships and found absolutely nothing. I'm assuming they are very local geographic things like rivers, mountains, or maybe even parks, but I'm just guessing here. If you have more info, that would be helpful.
Some helpful hints for you. "Tan" at the end of Penglaitan is probably 滩 which means shore/beach, so it may be semantic rather than part of the name, but Penglai is in Shandong not Guangxi, so that's no help there. The same may be true of Louyixi, "xi" is probably 溪 which means creek, but this is also used a lot in place names. In Zengjiayan, yan is probably 岩 which means cliff. Hope this may be of some help. -Devin Ronis (d.s.ronis) ( talk) 12:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Now that you've renamed the main links like that, any articles that you're going to create ( Penglaitan Section, Nashui Section etc) will be pretty much purely about the geology of each spot. You probably can base each such article on the respective paper in the Episodes. By the way, Nashui is 纳水, and is SW of Luodian County's county seat, as per the map in Qi and Wang's paper here: http://www.rivistaitalianadipaleontologia.it/111-1_15.html Google Maps shows plenty of placenames on "纳" in the area (within a few miles' radius from 25°16′00″N 106°31′00″E / 25.26667°N 106.51667°E), so 纳水 may be the name of the river that flows there. Some papers explain that Nashui Section is near the village of Naqing, and Naqing (纳庆) is actually shown on Google Maps at 25°15′54″N 106°29′26″E / 25.26500°N 106.49056°E.
And a general warning: many village, river, or locality names (such as various "( Wang/Wu/Ma/...)jia(ping/wan/tan/yan/...)" or even "Nashui") are likely to occur multiple times throughout China, or sometimes even throughout the same province (especially if you look at them in a Romanized transcription). So one should not claim that e.g. some random "Wenquan" or "Longshan" found with a Google Maps search is the Wenquan or Longshan meant in a particular paper, unless one has verified that it's in the same county (or county-level unit). It seems most papers in the Episodes actually have maps, so ambiguities are resolvable. -- Vmenkov ( talk) 17:55, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

It is strange that 12 ethnics depopulated in 2000-2010. Why? Mistake in census? Demographics_of_China#Ethnic_groups -- Kaiyr ( talk) 09:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
I doubt this has anything to do with actual low birth rates (i.e., birth rates being lower than the death rates) in any of the groups involved. After all, even the Han numbers in the same table are going up, and the One child policy rules are usually less restrictive for ethnic minorities.
I believe that what goes on with several of the groups involved is that for many of those ethnic groups children of interethnic marriages (e.g., one parent Manchu, another Han) choose to identify with the "other" ethnic group more often with the first one. In other cases, it is a matter of identification. Let's look at the actual list of these 12 ethnic groups.
First of all, I know this Wikiproject has a separate translation section, but there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of activity there, so I post my questions here, since I fear they might be overlooked otherwise.
What I need is confirmation that I have understood the basics of the following mass murder cases correctly, since Google Translate doesn't work too well with Chinese, and I suspect I may have gotten the facts wrong.
The first case apparently occurred on June 24, 1981, and a detailed description can be found here. What I can make out of the gibberish Google provides me with is that a bus exploded in Xiamen, killing a total of 40 people and wounding 84 others, and among the dead was a 27-year-old man named Huang Kefen, who had been arrested previously for illegal fishing and trading with explosives, and had escaped from prison on September 17, 1979. And as far as I can see, the explosion was intentionally caused by him. Is this summary correct? Does the article say anything about Huang deliberately bombing the bus (if so, does it say why), or was it an accident?
The second case also happened in 1981, on July 22 it seems, and a description can be found here. What I get is, that there was an explosion at a cinema in Yangquan with 32 killed and a total of 127 wounded. The rest is pretty murky to me, because Google Translate tells me something about an Ukrainian National, and I really have no clue what that's supposed to mean, but what I can dicern from the text is, that some guy bombed the cinema, killing himself in the process, his name may be Gao Haiping, and he did it, because his girlfriend had dumped him. Is this correct, or were others involved in the bombing?
The final case occurred on November 18, 1995, as described here. From what I can make out of it, it seems that two men, Feng Wanhai, 26-years-old, and Jiang Liming, 22-years-old, drove through Zhaodong, armed with a shotgun and a rifle and shot a total of 48 people, 32 of them fatally, because they wanted to create a "grand event" and "let the world know" (according to Googles translation). While Feng was killed by police, Jiang was only wounded, sentenced to death and executed. Is this correct? Does the article say anything about the motive behind the shooting? Or how it was committed? Did they rob their victims?
I really need to get the facts straight on those cases to know if I can add them to the List of rampage killers, or not. Thank's in advance. ( Lord Gøn ( talk) 16:57, 19 December 2012 (UTC))

Hi! There is a discussion going on at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Assassination of Tomomitsu Taminato. The debate was initially over whether the article's POV is tilted toward Japan too much, but no one seems to be able to come up with Chinese reliable sources to balance it out. I noticed that the author of the Japanese Wikipedia page (from which this is a translation) proclaimed that he had based it on the (far-right, anti-Chinese) writings of Shōichi Watanabe. There seems to be a complete lack of sources for this event in English, and the Japanese sources are all either extremely old (1936-37) or somewhat dodgy. My Chinese is limited, but if there are any sources that might possibly be able to balance the article out they are probably in Chinese. Any help in finding such sources would be appreciated. Otherwise, it seems the article is terminally biased, and I am not sure how to deal with that, since apparently "POV isn't grounds enough for deletion"... elvenscout742 ( talk) 07:04, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
There's a controversy about the article Northeast Project of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In July, I started soliciting opinions on a possible merger to Goguryeo controversies, since I considered the article a POVFORK and a COATRACK dedicated to framing the dispute from a certain point of view. I got some support from User:Rincewind42, but User:Cydevil38 disagreed with me, citing "articles mentioning the word". Since he didn't address my main arguments, from October to today I have tried to execute the merge, but he has repeatedly reverted me. There's a related ANI thread on his conduct during the dispute, which might expire. But we need more participation in the discussion from editors familiar with Chinese perspectives, since Cydevil has already solicited the opinions of Korean editors on this border dispute in a biased manner.

Going by the debllatio article, I would say no. The military conflict was limited to a small region in the west of Tibet, and at the time of incorporation the Tibetan government, economic, and social structures remained intact. This was very different from the complete destruction of Carthage in the Third Punic War and the unconditional surrender of the Third Reich, which are the examples of deballatio given in the article.-- Wikimedes ( talk) 21:17, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I recently discovered the article about Linfen, a small city in Shanxi province. It's a prefecture level city with about 4 million people. Linfen city has a little less than a million. It's big enough, important enough, and interesting enough to merit a legitimately good article. When I found it, it was little more than a bunch of statistics and some slightly exagerated talk of polution. I've worked to improve the article, but it needs some more attention. Most of the English-language sources are pollution related articles from 2007 or there-abouts. I am not good at reading Chinese and I feel that the article could be greatly expanded with the help of folks who can read Chinese easily. In particular, the History section is lacking. Linfen has seriously ancient roots, but wikipedia doesn't have much to say about it, yet.
Even if you can't read Chinese, the article could be improved by copy-editing my recent contributions. Anyone want to have a look. Even an honest review of the article would be useful. - Metal lunchbox ( talk) 15:36, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

1912 in the Republic of China has been proposed to be renamed 1912 in Taiwan, see talk:2011 in the Republic of China for the discussion -- 65.92.180.137 ( talk) 22:48, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Are these references too spammy to be used? Please advise. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 02:10, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
My position now is this: The references added are spammy, and support very basic facts, facts which can be found at the university webpages. Considering the nature of the facts, I think it would be okay to use the university websites for references and consider those sites reliable sources. I've asked the contributor to stop and comment here first.
Is this okay with others? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 10:41, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Based on the articles, Xinghua High School and Xinghua Middle School have a remarkable amount in common. Being unable to read the references, I can't tell if the two articles are about the same school. Both articles were started as part of the Nanjing Normal University Class Project, but by different editors. If they are the same school, I can take care of the merge. Thank you.

The places I've been in China call the breakfast dish "xifan" and not "zhou". It's got whole bits of soggy rice in it, is watery, and always made with yesterday's leftover rice. Zhou is smoother, purpose made, and not just for breakfast. Is this right?

Did you notice that Republic of China now has no article? It is re-directed to Taiwan, which is an article about, well, Taiwan the island/province/colony/self-governing entity/country, not Republic of China the state.
I think the re-naming and re-direct was done without sufficient canvassing by the community. If you have an opinion on the issue either way, please participate at Talk:Taiwan. -- PalaceGuard008 ( Talk) 19:36, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

We have some redundancy in the "Year X in China" articles: We have 1912 in the Republic of China, but 1924 in China - compare Template:China year nav and Template:ROC year nav. Articles for the era when all of China fell under the "Republic of China" heading can probably be consolidated. What's the preferred title for such articles? How about moving 1912 to 1912 in China?

Hsu Mo is a Chinese figure in international law, and I created his page from a translation of the German Wikipedia page on him because of his involvement in international law. I'm not a member of this WikiProject, but Hsu Mo clearly falls within it, even if he was a representative of the RoC after the civil war, so I placed this project's banner on the talk page and hope some members will have a chance to review the page.

Hello,
I was looking at State_Council_of_the_People's_Republic_of_China#Principal_officers. I noticed that many articles on Ministries still refer to the wrong minister, that in the articles on former ministes, they are still referred to as the current minister, that infoboxes are not yet updated or missing,.... I also noticed that some dates are simply wrong (for instance, Li Shenglin did not start in 2008 but in 2005, he was not removed in 2013 but in 2012....).
These are the ministers of the biggest country on earth, so the info should at least be in line with what official media releases. I already edited quite a few, but since I do not speak Chinese, it's almost impossible for me to do it all by myself, so I humbly ask others to consider this as well.

I could use some serious help with an article that I'm not quite sure passes notability guidelines or not. The article in question is Fei gei lam-aeroplane olive. I'm not finding any reliable sources in English, but the article claims that it's a popular snack in China. Can anyone fluent in the language find some RS to back any of this up? The article would need to be pretty much completely re-written and renamed to just "Airplane Olive" since that seems to be one of the popular names for it, but I'd hate to delete this outright without at least trying to get some help establishing notability.

I recently came across an article for Fang Zong-ao that was up for PROD. I translated it as best I could with Google Translate, but the remaining issue is that we still need sources for the article.

I'm being reverted over this addition despite my attempt at talking about it on the talk page. The same editor created 2013 Daulat Beg Oldi Incident. According to this Times of India article the event is minor, and border incidents occur frequently. This seemingly infringes on WP:NOTNEWS and the section is given undue balance. Would like to seek another opinion on the matter. Mkdw talk 20:18, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
I am the editor that created the 2013 Daulat Beg Oldi Incident. In my opinion I have provided numerous reliable sources from mainstream media that show that the article is notable and neutral. According to the following articles from major publications - DNA India article, Indian Express article, Deccan Herald article, Economic Times article the matter is not a minor incident. Especially see this Firstpost.com article that clearly states that this is the first time since 1986 that Chinese troops have infiltrated into Indian territory and stayed put. Can provide numerous more examples from mainstream media. I therefore feel, with due respect to Mkdw, that (s)he is unduly flagging the article as "disputed", "non-notable", etc. despite ample evidence to the contrary. Would therefore seek another opinion on the matter. Danke. Nightbat talk —Preceding undated comment added 11:04, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
