Talk:Hunan

message: I noticed that this article was consistently using the unusual spelling "Hu'nan", with an apostrophe in the middle. I have just now edited the article to replace this spelling with the more common "Hunan", without the apostrophe. It looks like there's been some disagreement over the spelling in edit summaries, but I don't see any dedicated discussion over the spelling, so I would like to start one to determine what spelling the article should use (since I also don't want to upset anyone by just unilaterally changing things without consulting anyone).
First, some background: it looks like User:Cfls was the one who inserted the spelling "Hu'nan", back in March. This was then partly undone by User:Nkon21, who replaced some (but not all) of the "Hu'nan"s with "Hunan"s. What I did was basically just catching the rest of the "Hu'nan"s. Cfls, if you have any objection to me changing the spelling, then please let me know here; I don't want to just steamroll over your input. Nkon21, if you have any thoughts on this, then please feel free to chime in as well.
Next, let me explain why I went with "Hunan" as the spelling over "Hu'nan": I could not find a single source that used the spelling "Hu'nan". I googled "Hu'nan" and, besides this page, got only results for the two words "hu" and "nan" separately. (Admittedly, this could just be because Google doesn't distinguish apostrophes, but I tried testing this by searching for "Maan" vs. "Ma'an" and got quite different results, so this doesn't seem to be the case.) On the other hand, loads of good sources use the spelling "Hunan" -- including the government website, which I would consider fairly authoritative.
Please let me know if I missed something. -- 3 kids in a trenchcoat (talk) 01:49, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: As someone who speaks Chinese, I have never seen the province spelled as Hu'nan ever. Per Chinese punctuation, , which is not the case here. User:Cfls unilaterally changed this without any sort of consensus. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 02:57, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

message: This bald claim, with no citations, troubles me. It troubles me because in the authoritative biography of Gladys Aylward (on whose life story during her first Chinese years Inn of the Sixth Happiness is based) there is a map which clearly, along with the text of the book, places her as being in Yangcheng, which is some kilometres to the east by north direction (It is now a county-level division of Jincheng, and the map as drawn in the book agrees with Google maps in the position of Yangcheng (then) as being Yangcheng (now).

Talk:Yumen City

message: Baidu Baike (https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%8E%89%E9%97%A8%E6%B2%B9%E7%94%B0) includes much more information about Yumen than other sources (such as Britannica). Baidu Baike is also a deprecated source, and Wikipedia advises against citing it. However, I think that because this page is a relatively uncontroversial topic and the facts are well-known in China, it should be an exception to the rule. 
Although more recent information and production values may be inaccurate or inflated, I think historical facts (such as the date of capture by the Communists or that Yumen produced 90% of Chinese oil during WWII) should be cited from Baidu and included in this page. If you agree with me about this, please respond to that effect and I will make the changes. If you disagree, please feel free to say so; I am (relatively) new here and am always open to advice.

thread_title:  Coordinate error 

message: Someone has just changed the name of the monument in several places in the article which is clearly marked as the "Yumen Pass" in Chinese at the front, and on an official sign nearby with a map of the whole region (I have a photo of this sign which I will upload). In the meantime I will reverse the changes made today as, not only is there no other evidence of this edifice being called the "Fangpan Castel" on the un-sourced map this person supplied - but he or she who did the editing actually incorrectly copied the name given on this map as "Fanpan Castle." It seems someone has incorrectly copied map of uncertain provenance which has a different name for the spot than is found on the official signs. Sincerely, John Hill (talk) 12:10, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yumengaun (Yumen Pass) is the name for the whole area (included two fortification, the great wall in the area and 20 beacon towers.) Many people think that The Small Fanpan Castle actually is Yumen Pass, but it is just a part of it, and it is a good reason to correct this misunderstand. If you can read Chinese, then please Google "小方盘城" and it will be clear for you. Below you will also find some pictures of information signs that are located close to The Small Fanpan Castle. I think is enough evidence. If not - then I have many more information signs that confirm my statement if needed. --Bairuilong (talk) 14:27, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:George Heriot

message: The Register of Edinburgh Apprentices PDF mentions "Adam, son to George H., elder, goldsmith, with John Nasmyth, chirurgian 12 Oct. 1596", and "Michaell, son to George H., goldsmith, with John Carmichaell, tailor 2 Oct. 1593". George Heriot the elder didn't seem to have a son called Adam or one called Michael - could this have been the younger Heriot's two sons? It's very early for an apprenticeship, though...
Heriot's half-brother James is possibly here:
* James, brother- german to George H., indweller in Langnydrie, with Archibald Cleghorn, cordiner 12 June 1605
No plausible Patrick, David, or Thomas are not listed. But none of these dates quite seem to match - if James was indeed apprenticed in 1605, he'd not have married until twenty years later, which seems very late. Shimgray | talk | 14:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm new to Wikipedia.

I can identify 17. I see in Wikipedia policy that changes cannot be made unless it references a published document. These corrections have been documented in my book Beyond Trabroun: The Heriots of Scotland (1400-1700). These articles are supposed to be edited by impartial people.
