Hi!
I am planning a complete revision of the article List of acupuncture points. Details on this can be found on the discussion page of the article. There are some issues I have with pinyin and chinese character usage and handling by the wikipedia search engine. Furthermore it might be that there are some important details I do know nothing about at the moment.
If this is the right location to ask for kind support, please visit the the discussion page of the article and help me to get a clearer idea of what needs to be done. Otherwise please hint me where I might find help with this.
Thank you!--Nicolasnicolas (talk) 10:50, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Recently I've been trying to subcategorizing the various "People from [Province]" categories since they were becoming too large, and I've done it by prefectural divisions. One difficulty that I've run into is this: typically, people from prefectural cities I've included Category:People by city in China as supercategories, but autonomous prefectures don't really fit that (since they are not, even by name, cities. I am contemplating creating a category Category:People from autonomous prefectures in China (or, "of China" or "People's Republic of China autonomous prefectures" — ROC currently has nothing of this nature, but has contemplated creating Taiwanese aborigine autonomous areas) and making it a subcategory of Category:Chinese people, but I wonder if there are thoughts about it. --Nlu (talk) 16:14, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
For example, a person from a suburban district in Nanjing can be reasonably described as being "from Nanjing", but a person from Kunshan should not by any means be described as being "from Suzhou". Categorizing people like this by prefecture would amount to some degree of WP:OR. Colipon+(Talk) 19:18, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
(unindented) For example of "prefecture, county," see biographies in the Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang. (E.g., Guo Ziyi's biography, Ma Sui's biography, and Du Huangshang's biography.) (Note that in Du Huangshang's biography, the use of Jingzhao is, in my opinion, exactly analogous to the use of the PRC's prefectural-level administrative units, since Jingzhao Municipality was what Yong Prefecture became.) This type of references actually continued well-past the Tang Dynasty. See, e.g., Han Jian (韓建)'s biography (Later Liang Dynasty); Ding Hui (丁會)'s biography (Later Tang Dynasty); Yang Ye's biography (Song Dynasty). Basically, not until the Yuan impositions of the provincial boundaries did the use of prefectures begin to decrease. --Nlu (talk) 00:47, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
See here, if you have any opinion on the matter. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 23:30, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Ran across this article on nl.wiki, translated the lede to form at least a stub, and got a historical engraving off of Google. Long/short, the Dutch citizens in Indonesia attacked the Chinese community in Jakarta to prevent that group from gaining power. I figured it's a significant event in the history of the Overseas Chinese and worth noting here. I'd welcome any inputs to this from the Chinese perspective.

Like every discussion of public domain government publications on Wikipedia, the article public domain says that works of the U.S. government are in the public domain... and after that, they're done! I did a little digging and found a 2007 news story that many Chinese government works apparently are or can be placed in the "public domain".[1] An item from 2006[2] said that "# Chinese Law shall not be applicable to: (l) laws; regulations; resolutions, decisions and orders of State organs; other documents of a legislative, administrative or judicial nature; and their official translations; # But:A work created by compilation of several works, parts of works, data that do not constitute a work or other materials and having originality in the selection or arrangement of its contents is a work of compilation..." [and copyrightable, though it's not clear to me if this is only by private publishers who do the compilation?]
I think it would be very useful for Wikipedia as a whole if we knew exactly what Chinese government materials could be freely copied. I'd be especially interested to hear of any botanical or herbal information, pharmacopoeias, biomedical publications or abstract databases that might be freely copied for articles in Wikipedia.

There's a bizarre edit war going over at Oyster sauce, where a user is apparently insisting that oyster sauce was known in the West by 1815. The only problem is that the sauce in question was made from melted butter and has nothing whatsoever to do with the Chinese stuff! Keeping an eye on the article and/or any comments on the Talk page would be appreciated. Jpatokal (talk) 11:30, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated Sino-German cooperation (1911–1941) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. YellowMonkey (Southern Stars photo poll) 06:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello; I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I've created an article for the manhua An Ideal World (or Seek Self's World in China), but can't find the Han characters written out for the name. It's on the cover of the Chinese edition here, at Xiao Pan's site, but I can't type them up. Also, I want to find the release date for the volume in China, but can't for the life of me find the Tian Jin Creator World Comic Company's website or at least something I can source. Yen press has apparently licensed it from Xiao Pan instead of the original company, so they don't list the original publication date in the back of the book. Help would be greatly appreciated.

In the article of the above, a question is posted about the legal citizenship of Yoshiko Kawashima. She was born a Chinese, but she was adopted by a Japanese. Should this not make her a Japanese citizen? But if she was a Japanese citizen, how could she be executed for treason against China? Did she have double citizenship?--85.226.47.128 (talk) 13:56, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi editors and participants on WikiProject China, you are needed on the Dongyi article and its talk page regarding content dispute. Several paragraphs of new contents were added by User:Reriemw and User:Ecourr [3] to the article.
All of cited sources are Chinese-language web articles and single sentence citations referring to "historical Chinese records"; I found many of them problematic, even the Chinese "peer-reviewed" electronic sources the user is using, and many sources actually do not support the statements the user wrote.--TheLeopard (talk) 19:26, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Anyone disagree on redirecting Chinese Communist Revolution to Chinese Revolution? This article seems to be a copy of the Chinese civil war article. Benjwong (talk) 06:46, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I wondered if somebody would be interested in drawing up a a list of townships by province at here. I've spotted a mass of articles in the Hudong Encyclopedia but we'd need a source to be able to draw them up by province organized by prefecture/county and also to have the townships linked in the county articles. Once the list is drawn up I'd be willing to help get the articles on townships started as info seems to be avilable in Chinese for most of them, however basic..I understand it would not be done overnight, but it could be done a province at a time. I've started List of townships of Xinjiang. I want to start all of them like Yanqi Town. Could somebody list them for me? ‡ Himalayan ‡ ΨMonastery 19:16, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

If anyone ever writes Pinyin for classical poetry, please note that it isn't as simple as looking characters up in a modern dictionary and writing the Pinyin down. There is a process one has to follow in order to do it correctly. I've just edited the Pinyin of Man Jiang Hong to reflect this process. To learn this process, please see the .pdf's available here and the videos here and here.174.23.230.220 (talk) 04:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

The article on Quenby Fung a Hong Kong writer, tagged for your Project last year, has also been tagged for the Children's Literature Project. It is a biography of a living person which lacks acceptable sources and is liable to be nominated for deletion. I have been unable to find any sources in English to support the text. I have left a message on the Talk page of the article's original creator but he/she may not be active in Wikipedia currently. I'm wondering whether anyone over here might be interested enough to take the time to have a look and see whether suitable references can be found.--Plad2 (talk) 07:55, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I know I've heard of Ba ling hou, but I can't remember where. Anyhow, it's effectively an essay, and if someone can adopt the page and (hopefully) redirect it to the already-existing page, I'd appreciate it. This is a drive-by notice, I'm not following this page, so a talkback would be nice if needed. Cheers! tedder (talk) 07:38, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

The GA review of the Akmal Shaikh article, which is tagged as being within the scope of this project, has been on hold for over 30 days. It is near to being passed, but the Akmal_Shaikh#Reaction section needs editing to reduce the amount of direct quotation as per Wikipedia:Quotations, and also to be trimmed in general to meet GA criteria 3(b): "stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail". Any assistance in this matter would be appreciated. See Talk:Akmal Shaikh/GA1 for more detail.

Hi WikiProject China, your help and input is needed on the Qing Dynasty article. User:Jean-Jacques Georges has added icons of Tibet (1912–1950) and Outer Mongolia, 1911-1919 as successor states to the Qing Dynasty on the article's template inbox. I reverted the user's edit several times, as I think such addition might cause potential conflict and confusion to the article (the reason of the user's addition was because of the de facto independence status of Tibet (1912–1950) and Russia's recognition of Outer Mongolia, 1911-1919)), as the Republic of China in mainstream sources is generally seen as the direct political successor to the Qing Dynasty.--TheLeopard (talk) 14:49, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Please go to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 March 23 to discuss renaming all PRC Company cat to China or vise versa split all cat to China and PRC, which company established before 1949 put to China (or both China and PRC) and all company established after 1949 to PRC cat only.
