Example: Template:Anhui. The section contains such links as History, Politics, Economy, Music, and Cuisine, all of which are now covered in the new Template:Anhui topics. If there are no objections, I will go ahead.
I'm sorry if I keep misunderstanding you. Just to be clear, I am about to remove the topics section of all the province templates. Example: Template:Anhui. The section contains such links as History, Politics, Economy, Music, and Cuisine, all of which are now covered in the new (example:) Template:Anhui topics. I will go ahead with this, unless you say otherwise. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:21, 6 August 2011 (UTC) Template namingI would like to rename the titles (not the names, so no page move necessary) of XXX Province to XXX Province administrative divisions, because after the removal of the topics section, it will only contain administrative division content. Plus, it confuses visitors to have two navboxes, one named XXX topics, and one named XXX Province. The title should reflect the contents. If there are no objections, I will go ahead. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:26, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
You didn't comment on this. I will get started on this too, unless you object. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC) Just to be clear, I am about to rename the titles (not the names, so no page move necessary) of XXX Province to XXX Province county-level divisions.

Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC) Okay. Nobody seems to care much, so I'm going to boldly start to "do stuff". Probably I will start with changing the titles from (example): Anhui Province --> Anhui Province county-level divisions. Then, Capital --> capital (in second bar), then remove topics group, then, who knows, maybe make the whole thing bright red, or scramble all the words. We'll see.

Chinese names in EnglishAbout http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chinese_name&diff=444296379&oldid=443893830 A user removed the paragraph on Chinese names in English here, saying that the statement that Chinese people "rarely" reverse the orders of their names unless the Chinese people travel or live abroad is not correct. He did not provide specific secondary sources that make claims countering those made in the secondary source I cited.

In particular I'm uncertain of the handling of the name of the accused and the correct name of the court and exact crime. Links to Chinese-language sources would also be good.

(I'm aware of current convention and have read old discussions.) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Okay. I appreciate your input. The reason I ask is that over here in China, you'd never hear an English-speaker say Mount Xxxx. The literal translation is always Xxxx Mountain. I don't think anything translated is ever Mount Xxxx. I discussed this issued back in 2009. The whole Mount Xxxx for Chinese mountains just doesn't sit right with me.

Is this guy dead?Hi. I'm looking for a little help from native Chinese speakers. On zh.wiki Bruno Wu has been dead since last July but there is no trace of that information in English-language media. Of course famous Chinese people often pass away without anyone noticing in the Western world but Bruno Wu is extremely rich, married to a very famous woman and is even the vice-chairman of an English football club. So it's natural to assume that the zh.wiki article has been vandalized and I'd appreciate it if someone can help me confirm this (and of course fix the zh article).

Big change at high importance template Template:Infobox ChineseFor all those interested, there's a rather big change applied to this infobox (see last section talkpage) with removing and unhiding fields. --Cold Season (talk) 21:40, 29 October 2011 (UTC) RadicalsHi, there is a problem at "Radical (Chinese character)#Position of radical within character" in that the section is presented as if it applies specifically to kanji, which doesn't sit well in the context of the article. What is needed is a general explanation, as it applies generally to Chinese characters (and then any information specific to Japanese use can be presented as supplementary). What I would like to do is confirm that the "Position", "Meaning" and "Example" columns in this table apply generally to Chinese characters (not just in a kanji context), and also add a new column for the Chinese names, in the same vein as the existing "Japanese name" column. Can a Chinese speaker help with this? I am asking here as that article's talk page is not very active. I am happy to do the work of actually editing the table if the information is available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.209.119 (talk) 19:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Has anyone stopped to think how this affects the articles for the Republic of China/Taiwan? Whether or not this is due to recent changes, I've noticed that Category:China–Japan relations contains relations for both the ROC and PRC. This seems ridiculous. And please don't respond with a political POV line, let's look at this from what ordinary readers understand. If we're going to refer to the PRC as China, we have to differentiate between it and the ROC/Taiwan. John Smith's (talk) 12:25, 6 November 2011 (UTC) I had a look at China – Indonesia relations. This refers to 1950 onwards, so I see no reason not to refer to it as the PRC. John Smith's (talk) 12:30, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Shanghai art worldVia List of women photographers, I discovered the article on one Rose Tang (seemingly a "persona" rather than a person). This led me to articles on Island6, Liu Dao, Wang Dongma, Thomas Charvériat, Zane Mellupe and Ifa gallery. I haven't yet looked in their histories, but they link to each other a lot and not much to anywhere else, they have little independent sourcing for what they say, and they obviously have certain other features in common. Indeed, it all seems a bit of a "walled garden".

Stone (Chinese mass) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is under discussion, it has been suggested to be merged into Stone (imperial mass) to become Stone (unit), or to merge into Picul, or both. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 08:15, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm in favour of merging Stone (Chinese mass) to Picul (with only a hatnote at Stone (unit) which Stone (imperial mass) should be moved to). But are the stone & picul the same unit with a differnt name? Stone (Chinese mass) says a stone is 120 catties whereas Picul gives a definition of 100 catties. Does the unit have two different definitions as well as two different names? No, that's a serious question: how many ounces are there in a gallon, how many pounds in a ton, how many joules in a calorie? It's quite possible ... indeed common ... that a unit have different names and different definitions. JIMp talk·cont 03:00, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

In this week's Signpost, members of WikiProject Poland, one of the more active WikiProjects, were interviewed and gave their advice for creating a more active project. One of their recommendations was to merge WikiProjects' talk discussion with the corresponding regional notice boards, since "We don't have enough people [on Wikipedia] to maintain multiple discussion fora". I see that WikiProject China has a China-related topics notice board (WP:ZHWNB), which is substantially less active than this page (WT:CHINA), but not inactive. Is there any reason why we should keep these pages separate? It is convenient to have one centralized location for posting notices and reading them, so I suggest that we merge ZHWNB to here.

This is a problem mostly for infoboxes (their entry under Nationality), but also extends (to a much lesser extent) to the opening line of the lead paragraph. There is no doubt that there is some perceived 'separateness' between Hong Kong and China, and that this has perhaps been exacerbated in recent years. Hong Kong's association, or perceived association with China, being "Chinese", or the PRC, has always been a point of emotive contention by both mainland Chinese and Hong Kongers. I do not want to engage in that debate here. I merely ask that we come to some kind of standard on how to describe the nationality of Hong Kong people. Currently, Donald Tsang's nationality is listed as "Hong Kong", Rita Fan's as "Chinese", and Michael Rowse's as "China (Hong Kong)". This inconsistency needs to be remedied. My proposal as follows:
Nationality, as we know, is not the same as identity, nor is it related to the degree of autonomy of a given territory. Hong Kong residents are "Chinese nationals with the right of abode in Hong Kong." They are not "Hong Kong nationals" and therefore do not hold "Hong Kong nationality." But, recognizing the separation of the immigration systems and legal systems of HK and China, we must provide for a slightly more nuanced approach. Writing only 'China' or 'Chinese' would not do justice to the 'special' citizenship status of Hong Kong residents. Therefore "China (Hong Kong)" is a good compromise solution. The alternative proposals would be Hong Kong, China, People's Republic of China, or something with Hong Kong in parentheses. If you would like to advance one of those, please state your arguments. Again, I reiterate that this is not a place to soapbox about whether Hong Kong is 'Chinese' or not. It is merely to make everything consistent. Colipon+(Talk) 19:56, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
