Talk:List of cities in China

message: The title and the scope of this list is disputed and has not been settled. The dispute over the scope of this article was between mainland China alone (Hong Kong and Macao excluded) or the People's Republic of China (Hong Kong and Macao included). The title is disputed, accordingly, between list of cities in mainland China and list of cities in the People's Republic of China.
The current content and title do not endorse, and should not be seen as an endorsement of, any of the two.You may also read the other version and the difference between the two.  See also the edit history and move history. — Instantnood 17:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Title and scope disputed

message: This article list the population of Shanghai as 9,031,200.  There is a reference source, but it cannot be accessed unless an edit is carried out.  The value listed conflicts with the value in List of cities in the People's Republic of China by population and in Shanghai#Economy_and_demographics.  Someone needs to confirm which one is accurate.  --Novelty 14:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Re      - I would like to know why partial full names should be used in place of their full names or short names? Is there any official policy or guideline to back such edits? Thanks. — Instantnood 19:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Special Administrative Region" is in the section header.  People's Republic of China is in the title of the article.  What's the point?  Same point for the Autonomous Regions. SchmuckyTheCat 04:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's good to use the short name. The issue here is that some folks insisted to use  partial full names in place of full names or short names. — Instantnood 08:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OH! That makes total sense for a revert war.  Just stop it. SchmuckyTheCat 08:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The article states, "As of February 2012 the PRC has a total of 658 cities: 4 municipalities, 2 SARs, 284 prefecture-level cities (including the 15 Sub-provincial cities) and 367 county-level cities (including the 15 Sub-prefectural cities) not including any cities in Taiwan Province." but the numbers don't add up right. 4+2+284+367 = 657. Either the total is wrong or one of the sub-totals is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.253.194.1 (talk) 16:59, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
