Talk:Zhemao hoaxes

Links
Should we have more external links here, such as Fabricated articles and hoaxes of Russia in 2022? — V ORTEX  3427 (Talk!) 05:43, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I didn't think that page, as an external link, added much value for a general reader. I'd sooner link its equivalent zhwiki page, which is more detailed, but honestly both versions seem like inside baseball to be a useful resource for our audience. czar  07:04, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Yifan (Chinese: 伊凡; pinyin: Yīfán) - male or female?
Some Polish soruces describe Yifan as a she, this one calls her "Nancy Yi Fan". We cite Vice, where Yifan is called a "he". Who is correct? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:20, 7 January 2023 (UTC)


 * All of the sources in the article (which I found to be the best sources on the subject) use the male pronoun for Yifan, including the Chinese Sixth Tone, so it would need a strong source to say they're all wrong. czar  15:24, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Here is Yifan's account on the web novel website, marked as male. BlackShadowG (talk) 11:46, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 伊凡 (Yifan) might come from the Slavic male name Иван (Ivan). -- Lopullinen 06:57, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

A useful Chinese source
This Chinese source is more comprehensive. BlackShadowG (talk) 11:59, 1 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Is there anything major behind the paywall that the article is missing? Above the fold, we're already covering everything in this article. czar  14:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
