message: The ROC government moved to Canton, then Chungking. Some sources are saying that it moved to Chengtu (Chengdu) on November 30, 1949 when Chungking fell to communist control, before finally relocated to Taipei. Does "briefly" mean half a month? — Instantnood 17:37, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I tried to move this to "List of historical capitals of China" but someone thought this is not a simple list.  Why is that?  --Ideogram 22:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe because the normal way of doing such moves (when it is not clear; this article contains a lot of text while some list articles have none, or just a one-sentence intro), is to propose them at the "Discussion" page of that article first.  That way, it shows that you're a member of our community, particularly when there are long-term editors on a specific page that you are newly coming to, who have good ideas for the reasons they edited the page the way it is.  Of course, there is always room for good new ideas.  Badagnani 23:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So I'm discussing it now.  --Ideogram 23:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Looking at the article it appears that it is an actual text article, with a list included.  There are many WP articles like this.  A strict list would not have text beyond perhaps a one-sentence introduction.  Badagnani 23:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Then it should be split into an article and a true list.  --Ideogram 23:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why?  It's fine the way it is. SchmuckyTheCat 23:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Object to splitting - the article seems very fine, and useful, as it is.  The small amount of text amplifies the list--one stop shopping.  Badagnani 23:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine, it's not important enough to me to argue about.  --Ideogram 23:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a list, should need a clean up, should there be a column for modern provinces, like Chu Kingdom was based in Fuzhou, Fujian? maybe not, just a thought.--Visik (talk) 12:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Chinese Imperial City Planning By Nancy Shatzman Steinhardt  

message: It is somewhat difficult for a newcomer to Chinese history, to identify where the ancient capitals are, especially when name changes occur from one historical period to another. Is it possible to add a column to the "Chronology" table, that lists the name of the modern city that is situated where the ancient historical capital was located?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivanlee44 (talk • contribs) 07:49, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggest adding a column for "Equivalent Modern City Name" to the Chronology table that lists ancient historical capitals. Suggestion 

message: I believe that the details about this period should form a subject of a different entry. As it is, the presentation appears to an unprejudiced eye (I am no communist) as putting on equal footing the PRC and Taiwan, which would evidently be a biased report of the political situation. Affection for Taiwan China, should not reach the point where reality is distorted. In rough terms, the capital of China since 1948 has been Beijing. Taipeh may be added for their claims to govern China, but including the numerous cities, which were once used as cover names to try hiding the fact that Nationalists were loosing ground, looks more like a hoax now after some 70 years. Does it not?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by LEMEN (talk • contribs) 13:15, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

message: See the image's talk pages here and at commons. In short, it needs to be replaced or split: it includes some but not all regional capitals (regional capitals should be omitted or put into a separate image); it includes one but not all alternate capitals (we shouldn't bother showing all alternate capitals but if we include Shengdu we should include all the others); it includes some but not all alternate names (for clarity's sake it should just show the current names and explain the historic ones in the running text); it omits the Qin capital Xianyang; etc. — LlywelynII 16:40, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: Oppose - The current title accurately reflects the fact that the article is historical in nature. The proposed title seems more appropriate for an article about the present-day capital of China. Phlar (talk) 02:11, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
