Forbidden City
Hi there, I noticed that you are translating material from the Chinese wikipedia. Good on you! However, I'm not sure that the list(s) are that useful. In particular, the list of exhibitions over at the zh.wiki page seems rather useless. What do you think? --Sumple (Talk) 05:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your opinion. My initial thought was that both the architecture and the collections constitute the Forbidden City, undivided. But I do realize that a complete list of its collections may not be the best choice. One option is to add a VERY general description about the collections and then add a link to the official website of the Palace Museum.

PS: I actually didn't realize the Chinese wiki-article when starting the editing. I mostly referred to the official website of the Palace Museum, which I consider the first-hand.


 * Ah okay. Sorry for assuming things :D I guess the Chinese wiki editor must have consulted the same source. But yeah, I think your idea of a general description is a good idea. --Sumple (Talk) 23:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
