RfC/Sarcelles
Three editors (Abstrakt, Miborovsky and myself) have started an RfC with regards to edits made by Sarcelles. Sarcelles has made extensive edits to China-related articles (including a large number of city-stubs and prison-stubs), so if you have anything to contribute to the discussion, please come to Requests for comment/Sarcelles. -- ran (talk) 23:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

狄 and 氐
Does anyone have any idea how to distinguish these two in Romanization (or how it's usually done in Sinologist writing)? I can't just write both of them as Di. -- ran (talk) 19:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Water calligraphy - special name?
Is there a special name for this practice, in English or Chinese? Please let me know (or edit the image description directly). Thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 09:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Romanization for Bohai-related articles
I proposed to use Pinyin as the default romanization for Bohai-related articles (again). If you are interested, add your comments at Talk:Bohai.

Also, Manchuria-related artcles undergo aggressive POV-pushing from Korea in recent days. Please help NPOV them. --Nanshu 10:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

List of English words of Chinese origin
I wonder if anyone's got any comments regarding List of English words of Chinese origin? There are many Japanese words of Chinese origin in the list which I think should not be there. See the talk page for more details. LDHan 11:39, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Unequal treaty articles
Just in case somebody is interested in covering 19th century imperialism: The Treaty of Wanghia article is barely linked to from other articles, and the Treaty of Huangpu (German) as well as the “major” Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Peking don't even have their own articles yet.

Chinaclimb
Hi, I would like to see a posting on Chinaclimb as it is pretty instrumental in developing adventure tourism in China. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.139.77.182 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 18 April 2006

NPOV map of India
Hi! I've made a hi-res SVG map of India and have put it up as a featured picture candidate on Featured picture candidates/Blank map of India. I've tried to make the map as neutral as possible encompassing each country's claim and administration. If you have any comments on it please let me know on Image talk:India-locator-map-blank.svg. Thanks and regards, =Nichalp   «Talk»=  06:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Literati
I am now beginning to work on the article for bunjinga, Japanese literati painting. And I have noticed that there is next to nothing on Wikipedia on Chinese literati (wenren) or literati painting (wenrenhua). Also, the Chinese painting article is far shorter and less detailed than it could be. China is not my field of expertise, and I am afraid I have nothing much to contribute to these pages, but I thought it appropriate to bring it to the attention of those who do. Thank you.

Feel 100%
In the article Feel 100% there is a name given only in Chinese characters with no romanization provided: The story revolves around their relationships with others, including Jenny and 琪琪, and each other. Could someone please provide the romanization of the second person's name? --Metropolitan90 02:26, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject China
WikiProject China has been started and is looking for interested contributors to improve all China-related articles. This noticeboard has been more or less dead for quite a while, so it's hoped that a WikiProject could be more coordinated and survive longer. --  Миборовский  23:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Some inputs from the Chinese side would be welcome for the Nathula page. =Nichalp  «Talk»=  12:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Sino-Roman relations
Can someone translate Sino-Roman relations into Chinese. I think it would be an interesting article for the Chinese Wikipedia. 谢谢! 86.138.18.18 15:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Review request
Could someone have a look at the third paragraph of User:Circeus/Maple to make sure I didn't make a mess of things? Circeus 18:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Help with translations
I'm currently working on a script intended to create short articles on political parties on a variety of wikipedias simultaneously. However, in order for the technique to work I need help with translations to various languages. If you know any of the languages listed at User:Soman/Lang-Help, then please help by filling in the blanks. For example I need help with Chinese and Minnan. Thanks, --Soman 12:15, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

New category for China-related articles missing Chinese script
I have created Chinese script, a cleanup category for articles about topics written in Chinese characters but missing that from the article (either in the text or in a template). It is based on Arabic and Cyrillic. All of the articles needing this are gathered in Category:Articles needing Chinese script. The template is designed to be able to be used for people with no knowledge of any Chinese script, and then people with a good understanding can clear the articles out of the category.

china now controls the manufacturing industries of the world
I live in Brisbane Australia, my name is Coinach. I have just spent 2 hours in my local shopping centre, trying to find a red T shirt, in all the shops there were red T shirts, but not one that wasn't made in china. I suggest it is about time the chinese communist party decided, to advise all manufacturers in china to put there prices up, I suggest by 100%; as we know, the capitalist system of this world can afford this. I am sure the communist party has already thought of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.226.98.8 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 7 September 2006
