Talk:Military history of China before 1912

message: It is stated that the Boxer Rebellion "shattered the western claim that a foreign army could occupy China without opposition from the Chinese". This is biased and inaccurate. There was no claim that foreign armies could occupy China, with or without opposition. The Boxer Rebellion was an attack on foreigners and foreign embassies, and from the foreigners perspective was purely a defensive operation.101.98.175.68 (talk) 21:16, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

message: There was a discussion of these infernal devices at Torpedo Talk Page] which suggested that the usage of "torpedo" has changed and that in this period it most likely means what we would call a "mine," that is, a static device. I'm not opposed to cutting this reference, but it is in fact a good reading of two sources, not a misreading. I did correct the misreading of the author from "Bret Harte" (!). ch (talk) 06:45, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello Wikipedians,
I was researching information on the logistics aspect of ancient china. The Equipment and technology section of this article originally contained a lot of [citation needed], which was removed in 2017. Going further back, a large part of this article in its current form was written by a single author in 2009. Furthermore, the section on Chemical Weapons and Logistics cites the book 'The Genius of China: 3,000 years of science, discovery and invention' by pseudoscientific writer Robert K.G. Temple. This section was expanded on by the same user and the same source a year later. Most of the stuff citing Temple was removed in 2010 and replaced with citation needed. However, some of the 'information' attributed to Temple still remain, including most of the logistics and chemical weapons section.
tl;dr: Needs better sources in Chemical weapons and Logistics sections 76.175.1.167 (talk) 19:07, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
