Talk:List of Chinese–Japanese false friends

First paragraph
I can't figure out this article because there doesn't seem to be a talk page. Am I creating it for the first time?

CLCstudent, I can't see what you reverted or remember what I changed exactly. I changed it so the first sentence made sense, but you have changed it back so it says a "list" refers to "words", which is nonsense. It also says that words have "a meaning in Chinese characters" which is also nonsense. What you are trying to say is that the same written forms in Chinese characters and in Kanji can have different meanings.

The second sentence is useless because everyone in the world knows this is true.

The third sentence seems to say that English is the "main" language, but the punctuation is all wrong. The rest of the paragraph is irrelevant, obvious or nonsensical.

I begin to see why there are edit wars, but I am not interested in contributing to those. I try to make occasional changes where this helps to clarify things on Wikipedia, but I shan't do so in future if people who can't write English properly are going to revert them without explanation

Major copy editing
I saw that this needs some copy editing. After reading, it seems like some reformatting and reworking of paragraphs and sections would do this some good. Would anybody mind if I do a ton of bulk copy editing? I'll try my best to preserve the meaning, of course, but it'll still be some big changes in order and structure and such. I'm also trying to respect the original structure and what goes in each paragraph, but I still have so far had to rework some of that. Will this bother anyone? Again, i'm not touching the information or meaning, at least on purpose, just copy editing. Also-- do y'all think the actual list should be at the top? After all, the title of this page is a list of false friends, but the list is at the bottom, with the history and effects taking up the top part.Little1133 (talk) 22:07, 9 February 2024 (UTC)


 * For your latter point, standalone list articles are generally structured like normal articles in the broadest sense, with appropriate introduction and context introduced first. Remsense  诉  03:58, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
