message: Should this page be merged with the United Front Work Department, which is the actual title of the organization? Currently, this page seems to be about the organization, so a merge would seem appropriate. Alternately,  we could retain two distinct pages: one on the organization (UFWD), and one on the tactic or principle of the united front as employed in China.

replies: text: That's so funny, I was wondering very much about the same thing just now when I came back to pick at this article and wonder what to do with it. I think I favor the second approach - i.e. keep the other article about the UFWD, making that a question of institutional description and function, and then have another article (this one) which describes the praxis (that's a Marxist term) of United Front work in communist China. That would presumably include shipping some information from the UFWD piece here. I suppose the First United Front and Second United Front articles could be kept as they are. In the end it would simply be expanding this article, I guess. Further thoughts welcome. TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 21:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Here's something that got me confused: does the United Front exist as an alliance and/or an organization (like say North Korea's Reunification Front), or is it a strategy and/or method used by the CCP to advance its interests? I have generally seen both Chinese and foreign sources refer it to as the latter, but the current problem is this article and other China-related Wikipedia articles seem to make it look like its a political alliance (like by, for example, putting "United Front" in the infobox for Chinese political parties). Pinging @Amigao since he looks experienced in this topic. The Account 2 (talk) 15:29, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The CCP's United Front is not a singular organization. It's a political strategy with an associated web of organizations. That said, historically and especially pre-1949, it leaned more heavily toward a traditional political alliance. - Amigao (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the answer! So do you think we should keep the alliance/political party infobox in this page? The Account 2 (talk) 13:55, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The infobox should be changed to one that is more representative to what the CCP's United Front actually is. A purely alliance/political party infobox is not accurate. - Amigao (talk) 14:26, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the political party infobox, will move to remove the United Front from political parties as well as it's not really an alliance. The Account 2 (talk) 14:20, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it should not be in the infobox, but I think it's helpful to state the United Front as an "alliance" and not a strategy at least once, or mention something along the lines of "more of a strategy than an alliance". It could lead to some possible misinterpretations InvadingInvader (talk) 06:16, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is the United Front an alliance or does it refer to something else? 

message: Asking this since I saw neither the Chinese state media sources nor the foreign sources reporting on this topic using capitalization. Using capitalization can also imply that this is an organization or something similar, rather than a strategy and a concept used by the CCP to expand its influence. Pinging @Amigao as a major contributor on this topic. The Account 2 (talk) 20:28, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: We should follow WP:NCCAPS on this so the second word should probably not be capitalized in the article title. Also, its use within sentences should not be capitalized. Good spot! Amigao (talk) 20:35, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks a lot! I will begin the arduous task of decapitalizing the united front references throughout Wikipedia. :) Oh well, such is life. XD The Account 2 (talk) 20:47, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

text: Also, as a last thing, can you help me move the :Category:United front (China)? I don't want to break anything moving this category so... The Account 2 (talk) 20:58, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should "United Front" be capitalized? 

message: This article itself states that the United Front started as "a popular front that has included eight legally-permitted political parties and people's organizations" so why are only the latter listed here? Charles Essie (talk) 00:45, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
