Chiang Min people article
I am suggesting taking some of the items from the above article to do this * A biography of Torrance with reference to his work among the Qiang * A note on the Qiang page about Torrance's ethnographic and mission work among them

How important was Torrance's book "The customs and religion of the Ch'iang"?

Kubo
The article three times cites ", webpage by Arimasa Kubo". What are the grounds for regarding this as a reliable source? -- Hoary (talk) 05:04, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Kubo is a writer who argues that the Japanese are the lost tribe of Israel. I wouldn't regard his self-published website as a reliable source for this article, given that he is not an expert in Qiang culture. His theory and support of it may warrant a mention, but I would be wary of using any data from this site elsewhere. --Gimme danger (talk) 19:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm hard put to think of a reason why it's even worth a mention. I don't immediately see evidence that it has been discussed anywhere. -- Hoary (talk) 02:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Polytheism vs. monotheism confusion
I find it confusing that the part about Qiang's religion says they're mostly polytheistic, while the last part about similarities to Judaism refers to them as mostly monotheistic. I also don't see any connection between monotheism, let alone Judaism, and the typical worshipping of white stones. To me it seems like the claims about similarities between Qiang and Jews are either based upon poor understanding and misinterpretation of their culture and religion in the past, or on pure imagination and maybe revisionism. I also think so because the website which is used as a reference is marked as dubious. In my humble opinion, the article would benefit from shortening or even removing the last section until it adheres to a more scientific standard. --Daniel --91.58.98.254 (talk) 13:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

History of the Qiang
The article needs to be more clear that there is no proven relationship between the historic Qiang and the recognized nationality of today. I suggest breaking it into two articles. Tibetologist (talk) 12:33, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

doesn't make sense
The following phrase makes no sense in English. " their hair and legs are bounded. " 4.249.63.139 (talk) 21:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Cleanup
Going to do some cleanup. The article is in a hell of a state and needs attention badly, particularly on its citations and overall writing. Might have to do some pretty harsh deletions.  White Whirlwind  咨   16:35, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
