message: The article reads "...To date, five launches have taken place from this center, starting in 1988 with the Zhinü-1 suborbital launch vehicle.[3]..." How? It hasn't opened yet? The source is 404. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:53, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

message: I came here after reverting your edit about the Hainan Wenchang and Xichang launch sites on  and I think we should have a discussion on this page. Thanks for providing the official name of this new launch site. However you also say that it is "part of the Xichang Satellite Launch Center" and this seems really odd. Do you have a source for this information? Even if these two sites are administered together, they are located very far apart, they have a different history and they deserve to be treated as separate launch sites. — JFG talk 21:04, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Part of Xichang? 

message: Citation needed for English version of the name. It is not a word for word translation from Chinese, and the provided name citations are all in Chinese. In face Chinese media uses "Wenchang Launch Site"   --Voidvector (talk) 23:26, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Remove sentence about name change. It was not backed up by the sources, as the earlier source didn't claim it was an official name. In addition, it was not reflected in English-language Chinese media. --Voidvector (talk) 20:10, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Wenchang International Aerospace City is the same thing as Wenchang Space Launch Site? This article says "The Wenchang International Aerospace City project, established in 2020, will consist of three areas, focusing on launch, commerce and industry, and tourism." .

thread_title:  Wenchang International Aerospace City 

message: There's a new article for the company that runs it, HICAL. Much of the content overlaps (as the company was set up solely for the purpose of the launch site). Hence, merge for short text and context. Klbrain (talk) 08:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: HICAL is the first Chinese non-governmental organization to manage a launch site, and is expected to participate in additional Chinese commercial launch sites in the near future. I believe it would not be advisable to merge, as it would provide valuable information. Sakuav (talk) 23:55, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

text: In addition, HICAL should never be merged with this article, as HICAL only operates Wenchang Commercial Space Launch Site. Sakuav (talk) 00:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Proposal withdrawn (clearly the wrong site!). I'll start another on the correct set! Klbrain (talk) 19:30, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
