Talk:Yunnan

message: This is a great article, but could do with a picture of this spectacular region. Anyone have anything suitable? Coyote-37 11:24, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I second the request for a picture.  Also, can someone clarify the information about the languages of Yunnan a little bit?  Which is the most widely spoken?  Which will you hear people talking on the streets?  To what degree is Mandarin understood and spoken?  多谢。  --LakeHMM 02:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Your question about "streets" depends on the street that you're talking about. Yunnan's ethnic distribution is extremely complex. In Kunming, however, it's probably the Kunming dialect (of Southwestern Mandarin division, of Mandarin). -- ran (talk) 13:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that there are references to two foreign explorers at the bottom of the history section, but some of the most important ones like Joseph Rock are not present. We should add him, as well as a few others like Peter Goulart.
We should actually create a new section for this altogether. There are some other interesting things that might need their own subtopics, like info about how the camellia, azalea and rhododendron all made their way into Western gardens from Yunnan. Xiefeilaga 05:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Yunnan has a great biodiversity, and so contains a large number of animals. Some of them are flagship species of conservation due to their might and beauty. For ex:

message: Is this a real historical and/or regional flag of Yunnan? -- Himasaram 02:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to crwflags.com, this appears to be a prayer flag of the Nakhi, an ethnic group in Yunnan. -- ran (talk) 15:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For issues of national unity, Chinese Provinces do not have flags. This looks vaguely Nakhi, but I've never seen it before Xiefeilaga 05:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Was the region buddhist before the cultural revolution? I could not find anything in the article about the religeous traditions in the region?Billlion (talk)
:Mix. The catchall is Chinese folk religion but there's proper Chinese Buddhism and Tibetan, too. Lots of Islam, too. — LlywelynII 22:34, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I think in separate parts of the article the total number of discrete plant species is variously given as 17,000, 18,000, and 15,000. Obviously they are not grossly disparate but it would be better if one of the figures was identified as the currently most authoritative. Historian932 (talk) 04:45, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't we space those images out a bit better? There are a series that are all bunched up. I hope no one minds if I move them around and space 'em out. Please note. The Sound and the Fury (talk) 04:22, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I just checked and the coordinates are pretty much in the middle of the province. They're only approximate, to the nearest degree, but any more precision would be misleading.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 04:12, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: . I agree that the coordinates are sufficiently precise and sufficiently centered in the province, so I'm closing this request. (I've also asked for someone more adept with templates than I to alter the infobox used in the article so that it applies the correct type—"adm1st" rather than "city"—to the coordinates.)

thread_title:  Coordinate error 

message: Per WP:MOS-ZH, the policy is to remove the foreign translations from the lead sentence when the Chinese text and pinyin appear in an infobox. Kindly don't restore it pending a new consensus there.
For what it's worth, I completely agree: here, we have the same Chinese characters written at least three times. There is absolutely nothing gained (except lack of clarity) by including the 汉字 a fourth time in the first sentence. — LlywelynII 22:34, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
