Chinese characters and Written Chinese

What is the difference between our Wikipedia articles on Chinese characters and Written Chinese? Both articles talk about the history, functions, and usage of Chinese characters. The only difference I can see is that the article on Chinese characters also discusses the adaptation of Chinese characters in other languages. This does make sense, but my question is, is that intended to be the only difference between the two articles? Are the articles supposed to be the exact same, except for the article on Chinese characters dealing with other countries as well? Hko2333 (talk) 15:02, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

No basis for "lucky flowers", correct?

Hi! All of the zodiac entries like Rat (zodiac) include mention of a "Lucky Flower". It struck me as suspicious, so I did some searching and couldn't find a reputable source. I asked on Quora, and a Chinese astrologer agrees that there's no basis for the flowers.

Should we delete this information from each zodiac page? I can't even find reference to how or when this originated in the West, so we can't even talk about it in that context. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:37, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Names of Wong Kim Ark's sons

Hi. I'm hoping to find some information regarding the names of Wong Kim Ark's four sons. Wong Kim Ark, as many of you may already know, was the subject of an 1898 US Supreme Court decision that affirmed he was a US citizen per the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, because he was born in the US, and despite his being of Chinese descent.

Wong's four sons are recorded in US immigration records (early 1900s) as having the following names (Chinese characters plus English transcriptions):

  • 黃毓煥 (Wong Yoke Fun)
  • 黃郁賜 (Wong Yook Sue)
  • 黃沃修 (Wong Yook Thue)
  • 黃沃沾 (Wong Yook Jim)

My questions:

  • In the first son's name, is "Yoke" a plausible transcription for his generation name, 毓 (in the Taishanese dialect used in Wong Kim Ark's ancestral region)? One person editing the Wong Kim Ark article right now is arguing that it should be "Yook", just like the other son's names, and that the immigration hearing transcript's use of "Yoke" is suspect.
  • I note that the four names use three different characters (毓, 郁, and 沃) for their generation names — and yet they all appear to sound the same, or nearly the same, based on the English transcriptions. Are these three characters homonyms (or near-homonyms) in the Taishanese dialect? Is there any plausible explanation for why the four sons would have had different generation names in this way?

I have no familiarity at all with Chinese (written form or any dialect), so I would be grateful for any knowledgeable insights here. I have also posed this same question at the Asian Americans project, but have so far not received any replies there. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 01:10, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

@Richwales: That is a strange thing. Generational middle names, to my knowledge, are usually the same character. But a dictionary search confirms that each of those characters are indeed homonyms read yūk or juk1 (Jyutping & Yale romanization, respectively) in Standard Cantonese (they aren't in Mandarin, though). Taishanese is a Cantonese dialect, and so I would surmise that they'd be homophonous in Taishanese, as well. But another dictionary might give an answer: the first character 毓 (the one spelled differently in the immigration records) apparently can be read in the sixth tone yuhk or juk6. That might have sounded more like "Yoke" to the immigration officer.  White Whirlwind  咨  04:14, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

China virus

There is currently an effort (which I oppose) over at the talk page for Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (The cause of COVID-19) to have "China virus" listed as an alterative name in the lead of the article, I would be greatful if contributors to this wikiproject can provide their own perspective on the issue.

Including native scripts of author names in citation templates?

In Help_talk:Citation_Style_1#Citing_native_scripts_of_the_author's_name_and/or_title_of_a_work_in_Citation_Style_1 I inquired about the ability to include native scripts of titles of works and of authors. It turns out the citation template does allow input of native scripts of titles, but it does not have this capability for authors yet. In Chinese studies it is useful to know the hanzi of an author for a Chinese language works, so I suggested allowing the ability for native scripts of authors too. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:44, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I have created templates to link to Baidu Baike and Baike.com articles. These are {{Baidu Baike}} and {{Baike.com}}, respectively. They are based on {{Britannica}}. You can see an example page using both at Ming River. There are also hidden categories to find pages using them: Category:Articles with Baidu Baike links and Category:Articles with Baike.com links. If you have any feedback, please, share! Best, --MarioGom (talk) 22:20, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Also remember these should never be cited as actual references, so these are useful to go through and re-cite... WhisperToMe (talk) 22:45, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
WhisperToMe: Right. That's in the template docs: Given Wikipedia's policy on user-generated content, its usage is generally not appropriate for references. I'm quite surprised with the amount of actual references to Baidu Baike and Baike.com (not just external links)... --MarioGom (talk) 22:49, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
A lot of Chinese people overly rely on the sites, and the drive-by editors citing them are probably not aware they aren't to be cited. To notify the public we need intrusive article notices that appear at the top of China-related articles pointing to a list of guidelines, like "Don't cite Baidu!". WhisperToMe (talk) 22:59, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
That would be too intrusive, in my opinion. Explicit references to Baidu Baike and Baike.com have a positive side-effect: they make it much easier to detect Wikipedia articles that contain copypastes (direct translations). --MarioGom (talk) 09:57, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

GB2626-2006

Unifying WikiProject userboxes

We currently have two userbox templates, one of them with a variation:

Current
{{User WikiProject China}}
This user is a participant in
WikiProject China.
 linked pages
{{User WP China}}
This user participates in
WikiProject China.
 linked pages
{{User WP China|invite}}
This user invites you to join
WikiProject China.
 linked pages

I have modified {{User WP China}} so that it can generate both flag and non-flag versions:

Sandbox
{{User WP China/sandbox}}
This user participates in
WikiProject China.
 linked pages
{{User WP China/sandbox|invite}}
This user invites you to join
WikiProject China.
 linked pages
{{User WP China/sandbox|alt}}
This user participates in
WikiProject China.
 linked pages
{{User WP China/sandbox|alt|invite}}
This user invites you to join
WikiProject China.
 linked pages

But it would be good to merge both and have them the more standard name: {{User WikiProject China}}. If the change looks good to you, the migration path would be:

  1. Applying sandboxed changes to {{User WP China}}
  2. Manually fix parameters for {{User WikiProject China}} in a couple of user pages that use special parameters.
  3. File a WP:BOTREQ to change all {{User WikiProject China}} instances to {{User WikiProject China|alt}}. This step would keep every user page with the same image as before.
  4. Move {{User WP China}} to {{User WikiProject China}}

What do you think? --MarioGom (talk) 00:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

It would be better to use a switch for PRC, with the Great Wall as the default style
{{User WP China|PRC}} results in the flag
-- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 20:46, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
My thinking for the proposal is that using the current official flag is far more common in country WikiProjects, but still, the migration would be done in a way that the Great Wall image would NOT be changed to the flag for anyone who has it in their user page. --MarioGom (talk) 07:41, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
It's a political can of worms, that resulted in a giant debate over article disambiguation terms, "China", the One China policy, separate pages for China and PRC lists and topics, Chinese civilization, etc. So, better not reopen it just for a user box. -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 09:11, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
We have the flag version since 2011 anyway. It's just that both versions are under confusing different names (WP/WikiProject). MarioGom (talk) 09:36, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Province Infobox Montages

Over the past weeks, I have been noticing multiple editors adding montages to several Chinese provinces. However, many other first-level administrative divisions around the world such as those in the US, Canada, and Australia lack any sort of photographic visuals in the lead infobox. This leads me to question whether or not the addition of montages to these Chinese provinces are really necessary, especially when there are many quality images already shown within the article.

Missing/broken references

I'm trying to make a dent in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors, and a few articles within the hockey sphere have issues that I can't fix on my own (~5600 issue as of writing). Basically, some refs linked via {{sfn}} and {{harvnb}} and similar have missing full citations or have some other problems. You can check these instructions to have error messages enabled (Svick's script is the simplest to use, but Trappist's script is a bit more refined if you're interested in doing deeper cleanup).

In particular, the following articles could use some of your attention

The cause is often copy-pasting a short reference from another article without copy-pasting the full reference. If you can find where things were copy-pasted from, you can usually find what the full reference is.

Thanks for any help you can give! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 05:40, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the heads up. I've begun working on some of these and struck through them on your list.

Points of the compass

Somebody who, unlike me, can read sources in Chinese (and has a bit of time on their hands) could augment the article Points of the compass with the kind of material that's at 方位. As it is, the former article is pleasantly informative about archaic European nomenclature but not about the traditional division or naming of the compass elsewhere. (Although we do have token mentions within Cardinal direction -- perhaps Points of the compass and Cardinal direction really ought to be merged.) -- Hoary (talk) 00:48, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

I think that's a great idea. It'd help make the article more informative and have a worldwide view on the topic. LittleCuteSuit (talk) 21:25, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Does/did this Chinese school ever have senior high school?

I once started an article at Shekou School but after seeing it is only a 9 year school (九年一贯制学校) at http://english.sz.gov.cn/life/education/district/nanshan/201909/t20190930_18240645.htm (English) and http://www.sz.gov.cn/school/ns/jnygz/ (Chinese) I'm wondering if Shekou School ever did have a senior high school (高级中学) level. If it did not, I would merge it into List of schools in Nanshan District, Shenzhen (which I have not yet created). It is *not* listed as a 12 year school (十二年一贯制学校) which would certainly have senior high. I suspect all the 9 year schools are just elementary and junior high.

https://skxx.szns.edu.cn/xxgk/xxjs/201709/t20170918_1236.html is the history page. I see "中学高级教师43人" but I'm not sure if these are the number of teachers at a senior high level or if it is the highest number of teachers the school ever had. I don't see any other instances of "高级", and 高中 has zero instances. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:09, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

IIRC, the majority of China actually doesn't get the equivalent of a high school education (that's why their test scores are so high). I also had a lot of students who came to university from "middle" schools (they didn't skip grades 10-12, they went to complete secondary schools with unfortunate names). Ian.thomson (talk) 23:06, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
@Ian.thomson: Yup, as 中学" zhōngxué" means "secondary school" in general, with "middle school" being an overly literal translation (without consideration for what it means in the U.S.). It seems like many Chinese "zhongxue", or the ones which send students to university, are just equivalents of U.S. 6-12 schools. I'm just not sure if, in Shekou School's case, it eliminated its senior high section or if it never had one to begin with. If the school has a senior high section I treat it like a high school for notability purposes. In Mandarin our understanding of "middle school" is 初中 chūzhōng while our understanding of high school is 高中 gāozhōng. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:35, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Chinese-language sources for Fan Zhongyan monuments

Hi, I was hoping somebody in the project could help add Chinese-language sources Statue of Fan Zhongyan, created by user Another Believer. It is a very short stub with no sources at the moment and I was thinking to merge it and redirect to Fan Zhongyan, but it would be better if it could be expanded.

Similarly, I was also looking for sources for Fan Zhongyan's tomb site in Yichuan County, Henan. I was there a few years ago and it looked like a notable historical and touristic site on its own, worthy of an article, but I can't find any sources in English, so I just put a photo I took in the main article.

Hi, I stumbled upon List of people from Lishui, and found out that we don't have that many list of Chinese people by city, like in Category:Lists of people by city in the United States.

Draft article review request

Hi everyone, I've made a draft on a Chinese singer Draft:Huang Xiaoyun. Can somebody review it if possible？ This article is translated from the Chinese Wikipedia. I made sure to add templates to acknowledge translation. There are still areas that need to be expanded/filled in because I haven't finished translating just yet but I believe that will be done quite quickly in the next few days. I feel like it is ready for publishing but that is really up to the reviewer. Thank you very much. GhostHuang'sFan (talk) 00:59, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

The article is heavily distorted in favor of the South Korean state ideology. Many users who tried to make constructive edits were banned. Participants from Russia were especially severely punished.

Forced evictions in China: Conspicuous information discrepancy between sources

Hi all,

Recently, upon reading Forced evictions in China , I've realized that some Chinese media sources (e.g. CCTV) conspicuously featured in the lead section present information that conflicts with information presented by Reuters and other sources which are not state-run by the Chinese communist regime.

These Chinese state-run media say that forced evictions have become opportunities for "becoming rich overnight", while Reuters says "...1.5 million people in and around Beijing were forced from their homes, often with inadequate compensation". Multiple other sources also mentioned the mass evictions without consent happening in urban areas (see the Notable examples section.

I suspect that these state-run media are not reporting truthfully, so I'd delete them in the lead if no one objects. Thomas Meng (talk) 17:57, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Potential RM for Chinese language

Should the Chinese language article be moved to Chinese languages? Also, what is that article's proper relation with the content of Sinitic languages?

I am not well-versed in China nor linguistics, so I thought that I would post these questions here so someone with more knowledge could look into this. From my reading of Chinese language, the article states throughout (with sourcing) that Chinese is in fact a family of languages rather than a single language, though I understand that this point is one of contention (discussed briefly in the #Nomenclature section of the article). In 2015, arguments along these lines were brought up in a failed RM (see [3]), and I was persuaded after reading them by the argument that Chinese languages would be the proper name for the article if Chinese is a family instead of a single language (see Category:Language families). Another relevant question: Is the view that Chinese is a single language WP:FRINGE?

Chinese languages is currently a redirect to Sinitic languages, an article whose content confuses me even further regarding the proper linguistic terminology; I'm sure many casual readers feel the same way. Could someone look into this and possibly start an RM if the case is strong enough? It's also a possibility that no moves are needed, and the articles I mentioned just need to be cleaned up and made consistent with their handling of this subject. — Goszei (talk) 07:37, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

I think "Chinese language" follows WP:COMMONNAME. My impression is that most sources, including many specialist sources, refer to "dialects of Chinese" rather than "Chinese languages". Those who follow the "mutual intelligibility" standard tend to disagree with this and say that Chinese is a family including many different languages. Personally, I like the "mutual intelligibility" standard, but it is certainly not the only standard out there (see Language#Languages and dialects). Of course we should clarify in the article that Chinese includes many mutually unintelligible varieties.
As far as I can tell, the Sinitic languages article seems to be describing a language family that includes Chinese as well as closely related languages such as Bai. —Granger (talk · contribs) 17:37, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
@Mx. Granger: Ah, I think I understand now; I have edited the lead sections of Chinese language, Varieties of Chinese, and Sinitic languages to be hopefully more clear, as they previously used the terms "dialect", "language", and "variety" in a haphazard manner. I would appreciate if someone could look those over, and also make the sure the article bodies are consistent as well. — Goszei (talk) 22:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

According to the bottom of the article, the Language Atlas of China has an online version (the Digital Language Atlas of China) by Lawrence W. Crissman. However, when I tried clicking on that link, nothing showed up! All I got was an error message.

I feel that this is a matter worth taking a deeper look into. It's a very important resource for the preservation of Chinese dialects, isn't it? It would be a shame if all that hard work the Australian Academy of the Humanities and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences put into this massive project got wasted because of nothing more than a finicky database issue. If I were in charge, I'd be very upset.

Is there any way to recover the digital atlas? I'm a fluent speaker of English and Mandarin Chinese, but I'm trying to learn about the local dialects that used to be spoken in my homeland.

Update to peer review page

Hi all, I've boldly updated your project's peer review page (Wikipedia:WikiProject China/Peer review) by updating the instructions and archiving old reviews.

The new instructions use Wikipedia's general peer review process (WP:PR) to list peer reviews. Your project's reviews are still able to be listed on your local page too.

The benefits of this change is that review requests will get seen by a wider audience and are likely to be attended to in a more timely way (many WikiProject peer reviews remain unanswered after years). The Wikipedia peer review process is also more maintained than most WikiProjects, and this may help save time for your active members.

I've done this boldly as it seems your peer review page is pretty inactive and I am working through around 90 such similar peer review pages. Please feel free to discuss below - please ping me ({{u|Tom (LT)}}) in your response.

Cheers and hope you are well, Tom (LT) (talk) 23:51, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

United Front political parties project importance

Might be a trivial matter to bring up, but I was tagging some of the minor United Front political parties as "low" importance on the project scale earlier today (some had been tagged as "low" already, one as "mid"), but I'm actually not sure if that would be the correct rating. They're quite small political parties, but being that they're the only eight recognized minor political parties in China, and have representation within the NPC and CPPCC, maybe they should be at least rated as "Mid" importance?

Member pruner

Hey all, I noticed that there are tons of people on the Member list page. If you want to set up an automatic member pruner, editor Naypta was kind enough to build one. It will remove inactive and indeffed editors (not move them to Former) after a set period. All you have to do is paste this under the templates at the top of the membership page. Instructions can be found at User:Yapperbot/Pruner, but I've propagated some of the fields for you.

"Basurian people"/"Sichuanese ethnic group"

I recently removed the list entry "Basurians" from List of contemporary ethnic groups since it looked dubious and hoax-like after Googling the term (only results that seem to point to a joke, like [7] and [8]).

In the context of China, "ethnic group" is usually understood to mean mínzú 民族 (the ones listed at List of ethnic groups in China). Sichuanese (Bashu) people are not an ethnic group by this definition, but they seem to be considered a "people" (mínxì 民系 – specifically, a Han Chinese subgroup). In the List of contemporary ethnic groups article, I'd say they should be listed in the "Han Chinese" row, "Subgroups" column, where they already are.

Here's the zh.wp article about Kaisa Group, which may also be helpful: zh:佳兆業集團. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 18:36, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
@Mx. Granger I actually found this earlier, but I'm not sure about it. Baidu Baike says it's 29 storeys tall (first phase), whatever that means. The sources I found say that Kaisa Center is 66 floors tall. Also, about the Hakka transeliteration, as the Pha̍k-fa-sṳ romanization of 佳兆 is kâ seu. Pizza0614 (talk) 20:23, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
That Baidu Baike article also says "项目分三期开发建设，一期规划为集大型品牌超市及高尚公寓的国际生活示范区；二期规划有超甲级写字楼、五星级酒店、大型购物中心和超高层国际公寓，其中超高层写字楼和酒店部分将达60余层，楼层总高288米". Evidently the complex was built in three phases. According to that quote, the hotel/office building is (planned to be) more than 60 stories and 288 meters (about 945 feet). That agrees with the information at Draft:Kaisa Center. If you switch between the English and Chinese versions of this website it also seems to confirm that Kaisa Center is 佳兆业中心. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 05:07, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Looking to build consensus at Talk:ByteDance#Fixing MOS:LAYOUT and MOS:LEAD issues

Hi all. About a month ago I proposed making layout changes to the ByteDance article to comply with MOS:LAYOUT and WP:CSECTION, among other things. Specifically, I suggested using a chronologically organized "History" section (similar to Twitter#History) as well as integrating the contents of the Controversy section into other appropriate parts of the article. But I've struggled to generate a constructive discussion on the Talk page (Talk:ByteDance#Fixing MOS:LAYOUT and MOS:LEAD issues) and I will not make the edits myself due to my COI as a ByteDance employee.

I would greatly appreciate if editors reading this could take a few minutes to look at the discussion and consider implementing my proposal, either in part or in full. Thanks, JatBD (talk) 13:51, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Some problems with civil war articles

The articles in question:

Someone in the #wikipedia-en-help IRC channel reported to us that there are issues with those articles. All three of them don't have inline citations, yet the first and third got B-class for some reason. The first article has some unprofessional language in the "Campaign" section, particularly the "did not even bother" part. The second and third articles have the same content for their strategy sections.

I think this might be a systematic problem in the articles of the Chinese Civil War. Can someone who is more experienced in civil war history check on this? Thanks, pandakekok9 (talk) 04:20, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Splitting discussion for Chinese lists of cults

An article that this project has been involved with (Chinese lists of cults) has content that is proposed to be removed and moved to another article (List of Chinese new religious movements).

Kangxi Emperor's date of birth

The footnote about the discrepancy between sources regarding his age (in western reckoning) at the time of his enthronement says Note that Xuanye was born in May 1654 and the "House of Aisin-Gioro" template at the bottom says Born: 4 May 1654 but the infobox, lead sentence, and even the first sentence of the body (to which is attached the above footnote) say 5 February 1654. Given that sources apparently differ regarding his age at the time of his enthronement, is the actual discrepancy actually one regarding the date of his birth?

If the discrepancy were one of only a month or two I would assume it was simply that he was born on the fifth day of the second month in the Chinese calendar, which some westerners mistakenly transcribed as 5 February while others carefully translated into either the Julian calendar (still in use in England at the time) or the Gregorian calendar, but I don't think this can produce a discrepancy of three full months... can it? (I'm not sure if the calendar used in China in the 17th century was the same as the Chinese calendar adopted by Japan about a millennium earlier, which is the one I'm more familiar with; that one would not explain the discrepancy, as 4 May in the Gregorian calendar was apparently the 18th day of the third month.)

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:23, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

This is no substitute for verifying in actual sources, but I imagine 4 May 1654 is correct, and 5 February is mistakenly copied from the start of his reign (5 February 1661). Also, the infobox claims "三月 十八日" (3rd month, 18th day), perhaps in the lunar calendar, which would roughly support a date in April or May. Adumbrativus (talk) 04:45, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period gives 4 May. I agree with Adumbrativus, that 4 May is the correct date and 5 February is an error.--Shmarrighan (talk) 07:50, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
The article is now edited to say 4 May 1654. Adumbrativus (talk) 04:15, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello there! I invite you all to please help revive WikiProject Macau. I just recently created six articles related to government-administered awards and many recipients have pages on other language editions of Wikipedia which do not yet have pages in English.

I also see much potential for collaboration with the Portuguese, Chinese, and even Cantonese editions, which at times are more thoroughly written in comparison to their English counterparts.

Unsourced Food Article Clean-up

Hi, I've been trying to improve some food-related articles. Sourcing is always a pain because food is basically "folk knowledge", but it's even harder when it's in a language I don't know. Anyway, here's a list of articles that I have exhausted my brains and searching abilities in English Google News, Books, and Scholar and now I must kindly ask for help from anyone who can read and assess sources in Mandarin (but other dialects might help too).

I've explained the issues on each article's talk page

These ones were really bad and had little distinguishing it as a special dish. I'll send to AfD if there's no good Chinese source:

These ones were more promising, with unique English names but still have poor sourcing. My gut tells me a good Chinese source is out there:

And before anyone gives me trouble for being too delete-focused, here are some topics that came up in my search that might actually be article-worthy:

  • Glorious Pharmacy, indie band [11]
  • Misandao (band), punk band (the band came up more in English sources than the actual dessert.)
  • Ye Guangqin, author [12]

Any help appreciated, cheers, Estheim (talk) 02:28, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

For yinsijuan, see here. That's a type of roll popular in many places outside of Beijing and definitely notable enough for a standalone article. Not sure how notable the rest are (for the less common dishes, it's not so easy finding Chinese recipes online that fully meet the sourcing requirements of the notability guideline), although kaikouxiao seems to be a Beijing variant of zh:芝麻棗, or possibly just a synonym for it. Cobblet (talk) 16:33, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Thank you @Cobblet:, I've added that source to Yin si juan. It's super hard to reference prepared foods in general (Peanut punch still tortures me, and that's in English-speaking Caribbean countries even). Sometimes the unreliable sources can give hints to other names/translations, and using the Chinese characters in a Google image search can show if many people are identifying the same thing using that name... but even with RSs, it's really getting water from stone!

Proposed deletion of Qiqihar Medical University

Notice

The article Qiqihar Medical University has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The subject of the article appears to be a hoax. The subject's website is riddled with very simple grammatical errors which are completely unexpected for a university hoping to attract English-speaking students. A search for sources on the subject only pulls up those which which appear to be affiliated with the subject (compare the previous webpage with this 'review' website. It associates itself with a "jagvimal" entity, which is also the phone number its website links to. Jagvimal also posts stolen articles in order to spam itself. And check out all the incredibly fake pictures that pop up when you search for this university!

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

@MarioGom: My question is: Is mainland territory of Republic of China no longer considered as Republic of China territory by Republic of China goverment? Eurohunter (talk) 09:48, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
@Eurohunter: The short answer is No. For a longer answer: When the ROC amended their constitution in 1991 they stopped pretending that they control mainland China, but didn't give up their claim to it. Instead they changed electoral laws so that they apply only to the "free area" of the ROC, i.e. Taiwan.

New navbox of prefectures

A new editor has created {{Prefectural-level divisions of the People's Republic of China}} for use on the various articles on prefecture-level divisions. Do editors here think it is necessary?

Yan (surname 顏)

I'd appreciate if someone could look over this page. An editor added dozens and dozens of names to this page which is supposed to be limited to notable individuals Wikipedia has articles on. I sense it was some genealogical project but as it is a common name, it could be expanded to include hundreds of historical figures. I reverted their edits but I don't want to eliminate important historical people. I sense my reverts will be reverted so I'd appreciate another pair of eyes looking over this page. Thank you.

Conversion of full-width Latin letters and Arabic numbers

Greetings! I'm starting a cleanup of characters in the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms (Unicode block); some of them have leaked into English-language text. Since English Wikipedia uses variable-width fonts and horizontal writing, based on some quick research it looks like it's actually safe to transform full-width Latin letters and Arabic numerals to their ASCII equivalents (Ａ-Ｚ to A-Z, ａ-ｚ to a-z, and ０-９ to 0-9) even when they appear on English Wikipedia in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text. This of course does not include instances where the characters themselves are under discussion. My plan is to start doing that when the next database dump is available in a week or two. If you have any questions, objections, concerns, or suggestions, please let me know! -- Beland (talk) 20:47, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Does this affect searching? In other words, if we change a fullwidth character to an ASCII character in Chinese text and a reader then uses copy+paste to search for that text in a search engine like Google, will the ASCII characters prevent them from finding results that use the fullwidth characters? —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 07:51, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
@Mx. Granger: It could go either way in terms of matching; web pages might use also ASCII characters against a search performed using full-width. I tested two search engines with "あいみょん初紅白！14日発表" vs. "あいみょん初紅白!14日発表" and "ＡＳＥＡＮ" vs. "ASEAN". Google seems to give exactly the same results with either input. Duck Duck Go does match both full-width and ASCII characters to both kinds on web pages. The top results appear to be the same either way, but some of the later results can be different, though they still seem to be on-topic. For example, a search for "ＡＳＥＡＮ" includes a result from zh.wikipedia.org but "ASEAN" does not, even though zh.wikipedia.org is using ASCII Latin characters. -- Beland (talk) 20:36, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for testing it. In that case, I have no objections. (To confirm, I'm assuming that this applies only to Latin letters and Arabic numerals. For punctuation I think we should use full-width characters in Chinese text.) —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 20:55, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
@Mx. Granger: Great, I've started converting letters and numbers. Yeah, I was just starting with those because I noticed the situation with punctuation is a bit more complicated. It looks like some will need to be retained inside CJK text but transformed when appearing incorrectly, e.g. in English text. My next question was actually going to be if there's any punctuation that should be always transformed. I see at Chinese punctuation § Marks similar to European punctuation that the following characters should be retained: ！（），．：；？［］～
But I was wondering if some or all of these should be converted to non-full-width forms: ＂＃＄％＆＇＊＋－／＠＼＾＿｀￠￡￥￦＜＝＞｛｜｝￤｟｠
-- Beland (talk) 01:20, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
I agree about ！（），．：；？［］～ . I'm not sure about the others, some of which are uncommon in Chinese text. I would imagine ｛｝｟｠ should be treated the same as the other brackets (kept full-width). For quotation marks I think non-full-width would be fine for Chinese. Not sure about the others. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:55, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Proposed changes to Film censorship in China

Hello! There is a proposal for a sorely needed rewrite of that article. Since the article doesn't have a lot of editors looking at it generally speaking and the article itself has been, ah, contentious (to say the least) in the past, I'm requesting experienced editors to participate in the discussion or help keep an eye on the article as it undergoes significant changes.

Currently, there is talk about renaming the article to List of banned films in the People's Republic of China, restrict the article to post-1949 (with possible splits), and creating definitions for the scope. As this is a lot of proposed changes for what is currently two editors, additional help or eyes would be very much appreciated.

Standardize naming of Chinese township-level division articles

I've noticed that the links and pages of Chinese township-level division articles are all over the place. For example, for the subdistricts, some of them put "Subdistrict" in the page title (like Fenglin Subdistrict), but others don't (like Xinxianglu). Calgary341 (talk) 01:33, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

See the related discussion here: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/China- and Chinese-related articles#Chinese placenames. If we want to standardize subdistrict titles as "Moumou Subdistrict" instead of just "Moumou", that seems reasonable to me. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:11, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
@Mx. Granger: Maybe there could be a manual of style or something like that about Chinese township-level divisions. Calgary341 (talk) 23:31, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
Yes, we could add that to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/China- and Chinese-related articles. Probably worth suggesting at the talk page for that guideline, I think. I'm not sure what convention is best for towns – maybe better to leave out the word "town", especially in articles like Chang'an, Dongguan that have another disambiguator. I don't know what's more common in English-language reliable sources. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 07:36, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
@Mx. Granger: What about naming something like 香港中路街道? Should it be translated to Xianggang Central Road Subdistrict or Xianggangzhonglu Subdistrict or something else? Calgary341 (talk) 23:15, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure. My instinct is to translate it as "Xianggang Middle Road Subdistrict", but are there English-language RSs that discuss that subdistrict? If not, is there an official translation used by the local government that we can defer to? —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 07:55, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
I would support a move to standardize these names by adding the specific administrative designation for third-level divisions or lower. Most of these places are relatively obscure in English coverage (which might translate the names otherwise), so it seems reasonable to me that we would just default to what Chinese government sources use. It looks like e.g. Subdistrict for 街道 is the norm based on a quick domain-restricted (site:.gov.cn) Google search for subdistrict vs. neighborhood and residential district. For places like Chang'an, I think it might ultimately be worth it to just insert Town, especially since there are plenty of places where that is a necessary element because of a higher administrative unit sharing a name with its sub-unit, like a lot of town(ships) 镇 in counties (县). Above the third-level divisions, we start to run into common name use issues, I think (we don't call it Hefei Prefecture-level city; it's just Hefei).

Name order of Jace Chan

Does anyone know whether Jace Chan is written in the "last name first" name order. Is her family name "Chan" or "Jace"? If "Jace" is her family name, it might be a good idea to add Template:Family name hatnote to the top of the article to avoid confusion when it comes to WP:SURNAME since she's referred to as "Chan" and as "Jace" in the body of the article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:15, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Some people from Hong Kong adopt this order in writing: English first name + Chinese family name + Chinese given name. So in her case, it appears to be Jace + Chan + Hoi Wing. As for use in body, some artists go by or are more widely known under a stage name, although source #1 from the article does refer to her as "Chan". CurryCity (talk) 06:56, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

The Nine Something

A fairly important article that is a bit of a mess right now is Nine familial exterminations. See points and reply here.

Short version: It was easy enough for me to clean up the WP:LEADSENTENCE and MOS:ZH gore in the lead when I got there but it still doesn't seem to know what the actual English names of this practice are. It'll take someone knowledgeable or with time enough to go through sourcing what the major English names actually are and replacing the repetitive and half-English "names" that are there now. There may be enough variety among important reliable sources and pop culture that it ends up needing a new #Name section, again with sourcing. — LlywelynII 00:27, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Attempts to add Uyghurstan and Chinese/Eastern Turkestan as postal romanizations and former names for Xinjiang?

An editor keeps adding ([13]) the proposed name of Uyghurstan and the historical subregion names Chinese Turkestan and Eastern Turkestan as alternate names and postal romanizations of Xinjiang. The cited academic source does not give these as historical names (and definitely not postal romanizations!) of the entire Xinjiang region.

These three names are historical names for the Tarim Basin subregion used in specific contexts and are also modern proposed names, but they are not appropriate in the way that this editor keeps trying to insert them at the top of the Xinjiang article.

The origin of these attempts is last month ([14]).

Any further assistance is appreciated. 171.66.135.244 (talk) 02:26, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Recent editors here, User:Kusma User:Beland User:LlywelynII User:Mx. Granger, would it help Wikipedia for you to be aware of this? 171.66.135.244 (talk) 02:33, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Well, obviously they aren't the postal romanizations and that should always be removed. The postal romanization was Sinkiang. I wouldn't consider them 'historical subregion' names either: they're just extremely politically charged present names which should be handled carefully and their context explained and sourced. — LlywelynII 05:04, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
I agree with LlywelynII. "Chinese Turkestan" and "Eastern Turkestan" are historical names used in some old sources, but AFAIK usually not for quite the same region that constitutes modern Xinjiang. I've never seen "Uyghurstan" in historical sources, only in the context of modern separatist movements. All three terms are highly politically charged, and they are not postal romanizations. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 09:43, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
I agree with the two people above. These names are different in character to "Sinkiang", which is just PSP for Xinjiang, not an alternative name. BTW there is also a (glacially slow) edit war at Chinese Turkestan, a redirect that should probably go to East Turkestan but currently goes to Xinjiang. Perhaps some of the "Turkestan" names could be discussed in the "Names" section of Xinjiang, but I see no reason to mention this in the lead section. —Kusma (talk) 11:19, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
