Would people be interested in joining a wikiproject on improving and creating articles about oral tradition? Wikipedia's coverage on this appears to be very poor Kowal2701 (talk) 19:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why is the 1854–1856 uprising referred to as the 'Red Turban Rebellion' when the Chinese name '广东洪兵起义' (Guangdong Hongbing Qiyi) makes no mention of 'Red Turbans,' and it is unrelated to the Red Turban Rebellion of the 1300s? Alexysun (talk) 23:09, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering if anyone might have any insight into an issue I've found identifying a Dongshan (东山/東山). While writing M503, I found multiple sources refer to a Dongshan in Zhejiang, eg.[1][2]. There is a Dongshan subdistrict in Rui'an, Wenzhou, near the north side of the Feiyun River mouth. It's about the right place, but I can't figure out why it would be important enough to get such a prominent mention on these aviation maps. Thanks for any insight, CMD (talk) 16:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aka Lepin, big Lego counterfaiter. Pretty underdeveloped article for what I am finding out was and still is a pretty famous (and controversial) brand in some circles (Lego fans). I am surprised there is no zh wiki article. But anyway, the article is written in the present tense but the company (or one of its subsidiaries, at least - Lepin) had major legal trouble in 2019. The article states the company is listed on Chinese stock market, etc. but it may be out of date - perhaps the company was shut down in 2019? Can this be clarified? I.e. was it just their Lepin subsidiary that was closed, or was it the entire Guangdong Loongon? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here12:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
The problem is: "Mayor" is clearly anachronistic for certain periods— Tang and earlier definitely, Ming haven't checked, Qing maybe not. Not all the categories in the container are anachronistic like this: Category:Mayors of Hangzhou is clean, all late Qing to present. I guess I have to look through all of them while we decide what to do.
My ideas are:
Remove all member articles where "mayor" is anachronistic, or
Rename the categor[y/ies] to something more general that can be applied across all historical periods, or
Split the categor[y/ies] into premodern and basically modern titles of governance and diffuse as appropriate
Anyone have any input? Anyone know when "mayor" goes from "wait wtf isn't it 720 CE why do they have a mayor?" to "sure that sounds right"? I brought this here since as mentioned there didn't seem to be a better venue. Folly Mox (talk) 16:31, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
