message: The tourism section is pretty opinionated and could use some hard data on tourism arrivals, or some more info on attractions, and fewer adjectives. everything is described as "nice", a "national treasure", etc., this is not factual writing.

message: Very nice map, but missing a few key things, without which it's utility is vastly reduced.
I have no idea which thing on the map which is actually the zone that the page is about.  I would naturally presume that it is the entire region shown.  If not that, then the little yellowed section.  If not that, then the implication is that it is the regional capital.
This is the second map in as many days I've come across (the other being okinawa prefecture) which leaves one more confused than before you've seen it.  I've never in my life seen that - anywhere.  There needs to be an in-map index, clearly labelling "yellow" as "Xiamen".  The Provincial Capital, if on the map at all, must be NAMED.  What map maker in the world would make a map and put a generic title on a specific place.  That place has a name, use it.  If you want to put "provincial capital" afterwards or something, fine.
The next problem is that the map has no global/regional inset with square - that tells one which part of the word, or asia, or china, this tiny map is from.  I do see that regularly on wikipedia..
Oh - and a scale please!!  10 km wide?  100?  500?  ???
PS: Wikipedia clearly needs better map-making guidelines.  If you want to get to the next level, that is :)

message: Media in Xiamen were temporarily blocked by the Government in June 2007 when about 10,000 people participated in protests against the building of a paraxylene factory by Tenglong Aromatic PX (Xiamen) Co. Ltd., which is owned by Taiwanese businessman Chen Yu-hao. (ref)Text Messages Giving Voice to Chinese Washington Post.

message: At Xiamen#Administration, a photo of appears with the caption "Huli District of Xiamen south of Yundang Lake". I used the same photo on Wikivoyage but my caption was "Looking North across the lake".
Is the photo looking North or South? I said North because it shows the water tower or TV tower or whatever up on the hill so I think what is below it must be the Marco Polo Hotel area. Pashley (talk) 18:10, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
