Request Information

 * Request made by: Migye 14:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Sinosphere


 * Who's involved?
 * ...User: HongQiGong, User: Kjoonlee, User: Nic tan33


 * What's going on?
 * ...Sinosphere article is seriously biase. It was originally defined as greater China and its overseas Chinese population. But some Chinese are making it to include Korea, Japan, Mongolia and Vietnam part of it because they were once imperial China's tributaries. HongQiGong even insisted on putting a link of imperial China's tributaries on the article. This is a disrespect of these Asian countries and should be removed. Also the artlce itself doesn't include Mongolia and there is no authoritative source to back the claim that Mongolia is part of Sinoshpere. The map in the article is simply wrong and should be removed.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * ...Removed the irrelevant links and inaccurate map.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?

Mediator response
Historically sino-sphere may have meant different things perhaps by adding a time line or dating, there may be some compromise...this may take some reasearch
