contradict
In the tagged section, one sentence reads "In traditional Chinese theater, no plays were performed in the vernacular Chinese ..." while another reads "... it was during the Yuan Dynasty that actors speaking in the vernacular tongue ...".24.65.69.8 (talk) 04:05, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Contradict Again
"In traditional Chinese theater, no plays were performed in the vernacular Chinese..." vs. "...it was during the Yuan Dynasty that actors speaking in the vernacular tongue ...". 2 different sentences: one says that on traditional Chinese theater, no plays were performed in the vernacular Chinese, the other one says that the actors were speaking in the vernacular tongue. If the actors did not use the vernacular Chinese while performing, then this would not be a contradiction.96.53.149.117 (talk) 19:28, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Opps the sentences changed: " ... during the Yuan Dynasty actors speaking in the vernacular tongue ... " and " In traditional Chinese theater, no plays were performed in vernacular Chinese ... ".96.53.149.117 (talk) 19:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Please, quote the whole sentence. It states it was an exception, just during Yuan Dynasty: Although actors in theatrical performances of the Song Dynasty (960–1279) strictly adhered to speaking in Classical Chinese onstage, during the Yuan Dynasty actors speaking in the vernacular tongue gained precedent on stage --79.156.65.92 (talk) 13:42, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The sentences have not changed. They are still contradictory.174.3.103.39 (talk) 11:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The sentences weren't contradictory in the first place. Read up on your Chinese dynasties and understand the full sentence. In *traditional* Chinese opera, before the Yuan dynasty, only Classical Chinese was used. During the Yuan dynasty, vernacular began to be used instead of classical Chinese. 99.67.232.169 (talk) 06:09, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Chinese opera → Xiqu – Xiqu is the more appropriate name, Chinese opera is categorically incorrect name, as xiqu is not a style of opera, and instead, bizarrely different. Naming so would be similar to name tv show as tv opera. Viztor (talk) 21:18, 25 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAMES and WP:UE. While the nominator is technically correct that of the umbrella term "Chinese opera" refers to types musical theater rather than European "true" opera, the current title is far more commonly used in English sources.  Cf. Peking opera, Yue opera, Cantonese opera.  —  AjaxSmack  18:10, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Whether it is technically "correct" or not may be up for debate, but at present "Chinese opera" is the generally accepted term for this topic. Esiymbro (talk) 12:23, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose I can say that "Chinese opera" is widely recognized. Barca (talk) 02:58, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Closing comment:This should really have been a multi-move to move the target (a DAB) somewhere, but that wouldn't have stopped me if we had consensus to move (especially as the bot now handles it well, ) and as we have consensus not to move it's not any problem at all.
