message: The proper article name needs to be determined, for geographic features on the Chinese - North Korean border.  Based on Wikipedia policies such as WP:NC, it appears that the most common name should be used.  But there is argument as to which is more popular.

message: I posted a note some time ago about categorisation relating to Hong Kong (and on the same basis, Macau) at the categorisation project page.  I invite anyone interested in such matters to participate, either there on in some other centralised location.  Similar issues seem to arise at any number of CFD and SFD debates, it would be good to have an agreed approach to the subject in general, rather than tackling them on a one-off basis every time.

message: Recent edits made to Gojoseon (古朝鮮) suggest that Gojoseon covered all of Manchuria as far north as the Amur and Argun rivers and as far inland as the Greater Khingan Range. This appears to be a Breathejustice-like POV-push to me. If anyone's interested, can you take a look to see how legitimate the edits are? -- ran (talk) 19:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The Academic Decathlon is a national high school academic competition. Each year a different topic is chosen. Last year's was the Renaissance in Europe; this year's is China. Most students use Wikipedia extensively. Last year there was some vandalism in the Renaissance pages by AD competitors.  There is likely to be more this year in the China pages.
Just a heads-up.

message: Hi all,
I have started a Peer Review of Nathu La article. The article is very intimately linked to China. Since most of the editors to the article till now have been Indians, there is a chance that inadvertently pro-India POV may have crept in the article. I request the editors to provide inputs if they feel that the article presents the topic in non-neutral light. Of course, general comments on the article are also welcome. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 11:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello,
Though the Warlord era is definitely an important subject, I feel that this template is simply too large as it currently exists.  I believe that it should be split into four parts, and have created sample templates that show this idea.  They can be viewed by going to User:Danaman5/Workshop and clicking on the four "Warlord era"" links.  Please leave any comments on my user talk page.
Thanks,

Previous histories show the building of the articles from many contributions over a period of time. See in particular Imperial roof decoration and its talk page, (I contributed both of the images and most of the text associated with the article claimed to be the violated source).

message: I noticed that for some of the Chinese history articles names of emperors, places, or other things would be written in only simplified Chinese or traditional Chinese. I feel that perhaps both versions of the name should be included since both names would still be used to describe the object, place, or person. Also, I feel that some of the romanizations for the names of people, places, or things might be off. For example, I noted that Huang Taiji, the first Qing emperor, was repeatedly referred to as Hung Taiji, which is very inaccurate in that "Hung" does not refer to any known Chinese character in the official Chinese dialect of Mandarin.

message: I have been working on this list, but many countries are yet unchecked, some because there are no official record lists published online and others because my language skills have not (despite Google Translate) allowed me to check if there are. Of the latter, China (PRC) is by far the most glaring omission, being the currently most successful country in sport shooting.
