Talk:Panthay Rebellion

message: I propose change of this article's name into Du Wenxiu rebellion (Chinese:杜文秀起义), or Pingnanguo Dali regime(大理政权) Arilang   talk 09:59, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Should we re-name this article?

message: The rebellion of the Yunnan Muslims is known in English as the "Panthay rebellion." A restricted Google search of that term (using quotation marks: "Panthay rebellion") yields more than 3000 hits. A restricted search for "Du Wenxiu rebellion" gives only 5 hits, three of which explain that "Du Wenxiu rebellion" is either an alternative name or the Chinese name of this rebellion. The only English-language book on this event has "Panthay Rebellion" in its title:
*David G. Atwill (2005), The Chinese Sultanate: Islam, Ethnicity, and the Panthay Rebellion in Southwest China, 1856-1873 (Stanford University Press).
Since this is English Wikipedia, I see no good reason to change the title of this article to "Du Wenxiu Rebellion," and even less justification for an  editor's deletion of a well-referenced paragraph explaining the origin of the term "Panthay." Since "Panthay Rebellion" is the name by which this event is known in English, I have moved this page back to its original title. Madalibi (talk) 02:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Panthay rebellion," not "Du Wenxiu rebellion" 

message: Just wondering if it's more correct to say it's separatist movement or anti-Manchurian movement? Chadsnook (talk) 06:48, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: both of you are incorrect. Du Wenxiu, the muslim leader, was from a han chinese family who converte to islam and he proclaimed he wanted to overthrow manchu rule and take over the entire china. The rebellion was not separatist, it was anti manchu.Rajmaan (talk) 21:06, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Re Panthay Rebellion article.
"The Imperial Government had waged an all-out war against the Sultanate with the help of French artillery experts.[24] 
Their modern equipment, trained personnel and numerical superiority were no match for the ill-equipped rebels with no allies".
That statement doesn't make sense. ?? It should be the converse:
"The ill-equipped rebels with no allies, were no match for The Imperial Government's French supported forces, with the latter's modern equipment, trained personnel and numerical superiority."

thread_title:  ?? Factual error in the narrative. 

message: Britain pursued a hands off policy in order not to antagonize china, whom they viewed as a potential ally against russia in the great game, even while they received pleas for assiatance from Du Wenxiu.
