Talk:Limahong

message: The information on this article is good but the writing style is strange and inappropriate for this. Passages such as "The brief Chinese stay of about seven months in Pangasinan was a blessing in disguise to the province for there was embedded in the lives of the natives some good Chinese characters such as thrift, industry, tenacity, and farsightedness" reflect a blatant POV and makes the article read like an enjoyable but highly questionable fable. I'm tagging this for cleanup by somebody knowledgeable on the subject. --168.105.116.55 (talk) 23:02, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  Well, here's an example.  "Lin Feng then took possession of the city and burned it to the ground. However, he failed to burn the Spaniards out of the city."  If he 'took posession' of the city, how did the Spaniards remain in it?   'Burning it to the ground' seems to leave no room for Spaniards to remain, were they hiding underground?   It should be made clearer. I suspect the original author of the article is not a native English speaker.  Minguo 00:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's another: the year of death is given as 1575, but then the article says he's found raiding the south China coast in 1589... Cornelius (talk) 22:35, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

message: Limahong's birthdate doesn't appear to be cited in anywhere in the article and I haven't so far run into any sources that claim a birthdate for him. Most sources describe his origins somewhat fuzzily, which is to be expected for an early modern marginal outlaw figure like Limahong. Additionally, if he was really born in 1499 as this article suggests, he would've been well over 70 when all of his recorded activities (afaik) took place. Do we really have a good source for this birthdate? WiJaMa (talk) 18:39, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't find any good sources for a birth date or death date so I changed the article to show years active instead. WiJaMa (talk) 00:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
