Talk:Qiu Jin

message: In the poem of hers, the title is literally translated ad nauseam, and as a result, it ends up shooting itself in the foot. Other than the silly use of "Sun's Root Land" that Ayscough uses, which is nothing better than a minor footnote at best, Her "Sir Shih Ching"(石井君), is most likely the Japanese surname Ishii. 〈日人石井君索和即用原韻〉is best translated (excuse my poor translation skills) as something to the effect of "Capping Rhymes with Mr. Ishii, a Japanese Man." This article needs work.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.53.228 (talk) 15:41, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

message: In chinese, the word 瑾(Jin) means beautiful jade, and should not be confused with another word 谨(Jin), which means caution.

thread_title: The literal meaning of "Qiu Jin"

message: After seeing the tag for insufficient inline citations, I've improved the article with more detail and multiple references. I hope this might be enough to have the tag removed, although I don't know how to have it officially reviewed so that someone with greater Wikipedia expertise can determine whether or not it has sufficient references.

replies: text: I've been adding citations as well and tightening some grammar (nothing major). Hopefully this will satisfy. Xenomorph erotica (talk) 16:51, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Insufficient Inline Citations Tag 

message: Some of chronology as listed in this article is a little out of order. It makes it sound as if she had joined "the Triads and Tongmenghui secret society" before she went to Japan, when in fact she spent a year after returning to China training and working with the Tongmenghui. About the Triads, the reference comes from Porath's Rejected Princesses and I have not read any other book or article that says Qiu Jin had any involvement with Triads, unless we're using it in the broadest way possible to mean secret societies then why not just say Tongmenghui? The link to this Wiki's Triads is for organized crime. Porath also makes the claim that Qiu Jin, "greeted the Qing government forces who'd come to arrest her with a hail of gunfire." (page 271) In fact she did nothing of the sort. Rejected Princesses is a cute book but plays fast and loose with a lot of facts. We know that she worked with the Tongmenghui, I'd keep it at that.

thread_title: Triads? As in The Syndicate?

message: After three years of waiting I have removed mention of the Triads. Rejected Princesses is a dubious source; Porath does a disservice to the women in his book by rewriting their histories to make them sound more exciting. If anyone can find a better source saying that Qiu Jin had any dealings with "the Triads" then the information should certainly be replaced but as it stands now it is nothing but fiction.
