replies: text:  I do not. I came across this city in a TV docu/entertainment piece last night. The subtext was Chengdu. It makes life difficult for us when we cannot refer to a name without trying to find some exotic keys. And really it is not necessary because language is for communicating and understanding, so the simple spelling would do the trick. I am by no means mono-lingual, change the keyboard to including the characters of my old language. But for French I can only ever remember the ALT130 for é, but never the cedille under the c, so a Francois can never be written, turns to F. Unnecessary complications should possibly be avoided. 121.209.56.80 (talk) 03:23, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: The article text states that the Standard Mandarin pronunciation is [ʈʂʰə̌ŋ.tú], but the description of the pronunciation example OGG file lists the name of the city as (成都; Chéngdū). The tone markings differ for both examples. Which is correct? Is one the local Sichuan pronunciation and the other the Standard Mandarin pronunciation, or something like that? skoosh (háblame) 15:10, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

message: The population figures are out of whack.  They don't correspond with population figures elsewhere on wikipedia.
"There were close to 200 long-term foreign residents (not including Chinese from Hong Kong or Taiwan) living in the city in late 2004, according to unofficial US Consulate estimates" 
this seems like a non-sensical statement to me. there are many english tecahers who come and go, are they included? and does this just refer to Americans, Westerners, or also nationals of other nations? i think this statement needs to be removed. anyway, it is out of date.
I'm pretty sure that Sima Xiangru(179BC-117BC) was not a famous writer of Disney. 141.156.106.2 14:47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a large amount of unsourced material on this page that has been there for a long time.

replies: text: Agreed, this article is way too cluttered with irrelevant information that could be split into separate articles (if they are even true). This whole article smells of a Baike Baidu article; unsourced and with no regulation to what is included. I wouldn't be surprised if most of this article is just a translation of the one on there.

message: Wikipedia and Wiktionary seem to list two conflicting pronunciations, [ʈʂʰə̌ŋtú] (here) vs. /ʈ͡ʂʰɤŋ³⁵ tu⁵⁵/ (Wiktionary). After listening to the sound sample, I'm wondering if the [ə] is correct, as it doesn't sound like that to my (untrained) ear, or if it's actually [ɤ]. Bfx0 (talk) 18:28, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Standard Chinese pronunciation  

message: @Ctuctu777 There seems to be a content dispute with a newly registered editor with various accounts with similar names and IPs. Firstly, your accusations of "malicious editing" is absolutely ridiculous and a violation of WP:ASSUMEGOODFAITH. Keep this up and I'll open a thread at WP:ANI for administrator attention. Secondly, your version is simply not an improvement, as the media I added to the article were in fact much more recent than the previous versions, whilst showing a better view of the subjects. Many images were in sections irrelevant to the image so I also fixed that. Pertaining to the gallery section which I assume is what you are referring to when you mentioned "deleting content", there is absolutely no need for 5+ images of random malls (especially multiple images of Taikoo Li) when there are many other historical landmarks in the city with greater historical significance that can be shown. Thus, your reverts are not constructive and throwing WP:BADFAITH accusations on top of that is absolutely ridiculous. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 07:09, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
