This article says that "the basic laws of biomechanics would argue against the existence of human-like bipedal creatures of such dimensions [of 10ft tall]." And there is a "citation needed" afterwards. How long is it allowed that such a claim can go unsubstantiated till it is deleted/cleaned up? NCartmell 15:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * With Cryptids and other paranormal phenomena, there is quite a high tolerance factor for things like physical descriptions. It's only with specific incidents and claims being attributed to people of groups that you need to pull full WP:V and WP:RS quickly.

Didn't the Chinese Goverment send an expedition out there a few years back after a surge in reports was egnited? User September 20 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.23.196.20 (talk) 02:12, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

It's actually a protected species in China Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 19:09, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Is this creature the same as xueren?

Tone markings
Yeah, hmm, not really sure about these tone markings. Including them for the Maos, dynasties, Hubei for instance is extremely awkward. What in the world is the "Táng Dynasty" anyways?—the pinyin is Tángcháo, so no one would ever say "Táng Dynasty". Not a huge deal, but the whole thing seems uncalled for, would suggest normalizing throughout. Aza24 (talk) 05:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Cháo functions as the word dynasty; for example, Qing Dynasty is Qīng cháo, and the Yuan Dynasty is Yuán cháo. Saying Tángcháo Dynasty would be a tautology  User:Dunkleosteus77 &#124;push to talk 00:09, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No I'm not suggesting you put "Tángcháo Dynasty". What I mean is, saying "Táng Dynasty" makes it look like you're trying to use the pinyin, but the pinyin is just "Tángcháo" so there's now just a weird hybrid of pinyin and normal Latin characters. I've never seen modern English literature that includes the tone markings on things like the Tang dynasty or Hubei; names and works might be a different story. Aza24 (talk) 04:46, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The tones should not be used in this way, per MOS:CHINESE. I do not have the time to correct everything though. Centre Left Right  ✉ 08:44, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
