message: I would like to know why the article switched the equivalent western sign from Leo to Gemini? It quite doesn't make sense.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.20.141.53 (talk) 17:54, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: The section starting "No task is too great for the clever Monkeys" came from rainfall.com. In fact, great chunks of all the Chinese zodiac articles came from doublesign.com. All twelve aren't exactly encyclopedic. Can these these lists of characteristics - Always neatly dressed, women born in the year of the Monkey are particular about their appearance, especially their hair styles. By the way, overusing cosmetics may make their skin rough, because it is easy for them to get allergic reactions - be considered remotely verifiable or as established fact?

message: I thought the Chinese symbol for 'Year of the Monkey' was 申, as apposed to 猴, which just means 'Monkey'.  I could be wrong though.  Could somebody please verify which is correct.  Sadako No Deshi 18:43, 18 July 2006 (BST)
:The 猴 character is correct and is commonly used in Chinese calendars in use today. Ejproject (talk) 07:27, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  remove list of people 

message: The Monkey page has been input with comments made to favor the specific sign with opinions made on its superiority and other "positive" traits with the deletion of "negative" traits.  This creates a misleading, biased, and less informative write-up of the true qualities of this sign. 68.34.93.159 07:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I have factual links that tell you the meaning of the Chinese zodiac Monkey, etc.
They are not advertising anything personal. I feel they may help the site.
If you do not believe so, please remove. They were previously posted on two articles.
I want to combine them and post them on each horoscope, Including this one. Ariyen (talk) 13:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

message: In the 12 pages for the animals of the Chinese zodiac, this is the only one with a color instead of "positive" or "negative." In all other cases, the stem alternates from zodiac animal to zodiac animal and logically for Monkey, the stem should be "positive" since it comes between two "negative" signs. I'm going to assume that this is a typo and change it. If my assumption was wrong, I apologize. Interlingua 15:21, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Stem is 'Black' or 'Positive'?

message: Would it be common to add a sentence on the use of zodiacs in Chinese history, its historical significance, and the role that the Monkey plays in Chinese mythology? This may already be included in a general "Chinese zodiac" page but it's not clear from the "Year of the Monkey" page. There should be a connection to the broader topic at hand, and make it clear that this is a subset of Chinese mythology. Ejproject (talk) 07:30, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
