Talk:Gang of Four

message: I've heard quite frequently of Kerry, Dean, Gore, and Kennedy being referred to as a Gang of Four with regards to the 2008 election. Do y'all fell this merits inclusion?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.120.244.86 (talk) 21:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, definitely not.  Never even heard that phrase. --GwydionM (talk) 07:29, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Could someone resize it or shuffle the pictures around so that it actually fits in a standard browser screen? — Ambush Commander(Talk) 14:58, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
I find that the picture (vertical display) of the Gang of Four has a problem with the display of the names in my browser. In particular, the name of Jiang Qing is displayed on my browser as 'Jiana Qina', presumably because the bottom of the letters has been truncated. Does anyone know how to fix this?

message: 22.10.05
This site was referred to in the Wikipedia daily article (Oct. 6) so whilst in Shanghai last week I accessed it (and a number of the links) from a private ADSL line. The next day I could not access Wikipedia or Wikiquote at all (temporarily unavailable...). That evening the gendarmerie knocked on the door in a belligerent mood to check my credentials. I've been to China several times, this is the first time I've received an official visit. I have read somewhere that net surfing is closely monitored in China by a large number (one recent article said 30,000) of police. I believe it

thread_title:  Lack of citations 

message: Lin Biao was the rival of Madam Mao, and the Gang of Four probably only formed after his death.  Chen Boda's position is disputed.
I added some references and a detailed account of their arrest.  Also split into sections.  --GwydionM 17:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it OK to remove the 'no reference' tag?  If no one objects, I will do it this time next month. --GwydionM 18:20, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Added some references

message: After reading this the average reader, with some prior knowledge of Mao Zedong, may question whether this gang of four was just a way to shield Mao from being blamed for the Cultural Revolution. Undoubtedly the gang of four played a part but how much? Perhaps someone could talk more about this or add a little more information about Mao and his role in the Cultural revolution. Or perhaps there really isn't enough information to make these claims either way...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.208.228.193 (talk) 21:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: For consideration: Immediately after the coup d’etat, Hua Guofeng, Marshall Ye Jianying and economic czar Li Xiannian formed the core of the party leadership. These three, together with the newly rehabilitated Deng Xiaoping and bodyguard cum coup leader Wang Dongxing were elected party Vice Chairmen at the August 1977 11th National Party Congress. At the politburo level, the membership of all four living marshals, 7 other generals and at least five others with close military ties reflects the deep concern for national stability.

: I'd see it as the sort of thing we want, assuming the details are accurate.  A named source would be nice.--GwydionM (talk) 17:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks. Done, with minor changes. DOR (HK) (talk) 06:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Cheers.  I fixed a link - most individual Congresses don't currently have pages, though they would be worth adding.  --GwydionM (talk) 11:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Should mention that this has had international influence (like "Mother of all battles" etc.); here are Wikipedia articles: AnonMoos (talk) 19:44, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, you should post it.  But I'd suggest putting it on fewer lines, e.g. Gang of Four (band), Gang of Four (game), Gang of Four (Harlem).  --GwydionM (talk) 18:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

message: "The Gang of Four effectively controlled the power organs of the Communist Party of China"
What is a "power organ"? I get the gist of the sentence, but I've never heard of and can't find this phrase anywhere else.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.60.115.152 (talk) 07:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

message: This article's introduction is very seriously flawed because it doesn't explain what the Gang of Four hoped to accomplish through their politicking. Reading through the article, I still don't quite understand. --Lunatic, Esquire (talk) 10:04, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I am surprised that this article didn't mention that Chinese numbers have meanings, and that the number 4 is associated with death. You cannot, for example, find a fourth floor or a fourth room in a Chinese hotel. The Gang of Four had more than four members. Using the number, and identifying four leaders, was a device closely connected to the negative meaning of the number 4 in Chinese. Similarly, the number 8 means abundance. The Beijing Olympics began on August 8, 2008. Not by mistake. All that said, I'm not going to make any change because Wikipedia is pretty much a mess full of edit wars, so I'll confine this to a comment here rather than put up with the craziness. 2605:59C8:47E:4210:48CF:F59F:B4CF:F164 (talk) 02:14, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
