Talk:China (disambiguation)

message: About the Note Jiang removed
Whether or not Republic of China is a country is controversial, please see Political status of Taiwan for more.
Quote Jiang: "it exists, whether in legitimate form or not"
I agree that it exist, that's why I only added the note instead of removing it from country altogether. I added the note because of it's controversial status, which readers should know. --Hunter 10:27, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: disambiguations provide possible choices. we dont insist on one. the controversy does not need to be explained for people looking for certain pages to find their way--Jiang 10:48, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, if you posted this as reason I may not have raised the question. --Hunter 11:01, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm deleting most of the "see-also"s relating to Taiwan/ROC. I don't think the disambiguation page is the place for those links, and the explanation attached to "ROC" is long enough as it is. If a user is interested in finding out more about it, they can simply go to the ROC link. --Sumple (Talk) 12:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I have no interest in professional wrestling, but on a disambiguation page, everything goes. This will never be a featured article candidate; it exists only to clear up confusion. If someone tries to find the wrestler by spelling "China" as it is most frequently spelled, I don't think a disambiguation note is too radical for anyone. If someone objects to the manner in which I am putting it back in, feel free to change the formatting, but the content itself is perfectly relevant. Thanks, BDD 23:20, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

message: How many people typing in Fine China is expecting to find a band, rather than porcelain? 
Perhaps the name of the band page should be changed to "Fine China (band)"? 
Oh and that badn page has serious npov problems: Their previous album "You Make Me Hate Music" was so well received by fans and critics alike that it guarantees them a permanent place in the hearts and the record shelves of pop lovers everywhere.
Sure. --Sumple (Talk) 11:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Humm, why aren't China (album), Fine China (band) and china cymbal listed under the subtopic 'music'? I think I'll reorder the lists for that part. Bwa ha ha. 130.231.89.99 13:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

A request is underway about the naming of articles. One of the suggestions is to move this dab page to China, and rename the current China article. 74.15.105.205 (talk) 04:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It seems that the discussion resulted in the move of People's Republic of China to China. I wonder what happened to the article that was at China previously? I cannot even find the discussion. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 05:37, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I see it was moved to Chinese civilization and has since disappeared into a tiny dab page. This definitely is a prime example of how to get rid of POV crap! -- Petri Krohn (talk) 05:47, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

text: The discussion is now here: Talk:China/Archive 14, with some more of it here: Talk:Chinese civilization/Archive 24, Talk:Chinese civilization/Archive 25. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 06:08, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Can I ask all editors to familiarise themselves with the manual of style for disambiguation pages, which lays out clear guidelines for pages like this. In particular the purpose of a disambiguation page is to link to pages with related names in the simplest and clearest way possible: every entry should be for one article and should have one link; the link should usually be at the start of the line, after which there only needs to be enough text to identify the article.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 23:55, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey

message: Based on the following facts:
No country named Taiwan. But there's a regime called it self The Republic of China.
No country named mainland China. But there's a country called The People's Republic of China.
I suggest to rename "Taiwan" as "Republic of China", rename "Mainland China" as "People's Republic of China".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yuansa (talk • contribs) 23:10, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
