Talk:Chinese star maps

Expand
I think this article would be greatly improved by the addition of some extensive discussion of the maps themselves - what they depict, how they represent various things, how they were created - rather than simply being a list. LordAmeth (talk) 08:36, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I can't see anthing that needs to be done to the article, so I've removed the notice. Chasnor15 (talk) 19:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I question whether the illustration is really of the Suchow star chart. It looks very different from the illustration in Ian Ridpath's site (http://www.ianridpath.com/startales/chinese3.htm) quoting an academic U of Michigan work (see link from Ridpath), or Needham, or a number of other academic other sources I have consulted. The Wikimedia commons illustration that is used is sourced to an Adler planetarium website but the relevant page seems to have disappeared. I wonder if the wrong illustration was picked up from the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.6.181.86 (talk) 16:11, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
