message: I'd like to rename the article "Three-North Shelterbelt Program" as it is used more often than "Green Great Wall" and is also a literal translation of the Chinese name of the project. Objections? Karmos (talk) 07:00, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The first sentence of the criticism section states that "In April 2003, Western scientists argued the Chinese plan was either an inadequate solution or simply propaganda." The citation is from Wired and refers to two people, Hong Jiang (University of Wisconsin geography professor mentioned later in the paragraph) and Dee Williams (US Department of Interior anthropologist also mentioned later). My issue with this is that perhaps instead of stating "In April 2003, Western scientists argued...", the article should simply state Jiang's and Williams' criticisms. Currently, the phrasing may give a sense of a larger consensus that suddenly emerged in April of 2003, and this is not the case. 2601:5C2:201:5BB0:F9F7:9DEC:11F5:5268 (talk) 22:11, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Also worth mentioning, neither source in the Wired article mentioned propaganda. This seems to be artistic license from the article's author. 2601:5C2:201:5BB0:F9F7:9DEC:11F5:5268 (talk) 22:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
