State of Yue → Yue (state) — Move to Yue (state) in consistency with all other Spring and Autumn and Warring States articles, which all uses (state), but this article use "state of".--Balthazarduju (talk) 04:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I think either name is somewhat confusing, with some Americans and Australians thinking provinces are states, and that China has two that are abbreviated as Yue... Perhaps it should be Yue (Warring States era) 65.94.252.195 (talk) 05:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Support move. Although not perfect, state is enough for disambiguation purpose. By the way, the State of Yue is also a state during the Spring and Autumn Period. Adding Warring States era is also not perfect. --Pengyanan (talk) 07:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

WP:ERA
Some inconsistency, so worth noting that this edit established the usage of the page as BC/AD. Per WP:ERA, kindly maintain it. — Llywelyn II   08:09, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Sources for article expansion
Ruler list for Yue here. — Llywelyn II   15:21, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The reliability of that source is suspect. The Yue history is poorly documented and the names of most rulers and the periods of their reigns are disputed. -Zanhe (talk) 16:26, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Then list it here or at a kings of Yue subpage and caveat it properly with your reliable sources about why it's suspect. — Llywelyn II   11:44, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Hatnote
@Zahne, I did not add this hatnote, you were perfectly fine with it before when it was using hatnote instead of about  ; Further "Yueyu" and "Yuyue" and Yuyu and Yueyue would seem to be things that would have a hatnote, since they can be pronounced the same way by different people. And if you call him Prince Charles Windsor instead of Prince Charles per your given name thing, then hats off to you. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 07:01, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

One of Zhengzhang Shangfang's works on Wu-Yue language is accessible online
"Some Kam-Tai Words in Place Names of the Ancient Wu and Yue States" [古吴越地名中的侗台语成份] by Zhengzhang Shangfang (1990) is accessible online. From here, browse to this link http://hanhandou.ys168.com/ , then click on 吴语与其它方言, then 《古吴越地名中的侗台语成份》郑张尚芳. Gustmeister (talk) 14:05, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

 * , thanks, although (a) those links are dead or spam; (b) you should've just linked the final URL for the resource instead of 'click here, search here, click this'; and (c) these should both be on the talk pages of Wu (state) and Kam-Tai languages, as well as the articles on China's modern Wu and Zhejiang dialects. (d) Any discussion of Wu or Yue having been Kam–Tai languages should also mention the high likelihood Chu was a similar language as well.


 * Mostly, yeah, it's great that you share this at all (thanks!) but the most helpful way to present additional scholarly articles is to leave a correctly formatted citation template that people can just cut/paste directly into the article once they see how best to do that. In this case, you'd start off with




 * leaving the other fields to be filled in by the editors later or getting the info to fill them in yourself as you go. If they were journal articles they would look like this:




 * That's better, but of course the most important thing is to have the information at all. Thanks again! — Llywelyn II   02:40, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
