Talk:Ling Tong

Dynasty Warriors

I cleaned up the Dynasty Warriors area a bit and gave it it's own subheading, in keeping with other profiles and, if nothing else, to tidy it up. --Emperor Wu 20:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Downplayed in the novel

I have been doing a research on the Eastern Wu, and accidentally I discovered that this guy is really ignored by the novel, so I just added some unmentioned detail into the article. By the way, is there anyone who can do the Japanese version of his article? EkmanLi (talk) 13:19, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm reading the SGZ & ZZTJ recently, and will write for a few more downplayed persons in the future (hopefully).----EkmanLi (talk) 13:17, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

When did Ling Tong die

A few of my friends told me I made a mistake on Ling's death year after they read the article because they followed SGZ. They were wrong, okay, this is what I have to clarify here: first, I intentionally left his death year to be "237 OR 217" because I never throw out anything in the original SGZ. However, later researches have suggested Chen Shou was the one who made a typo on Ling's death year, and I'm sure my frds, as well as most other people, did not really check what I gave out in the ref section. It's understandable most people won't notice details such as this topic, but it's not hard to purchase a book when I already listed its ISBN! Interested ppl can find interesting facts in the following books:

2. Liang Zhangju; ed. Yang Yaokun (2000). Circumstantial Evidence on the Records of the Three Kingdoms. 中華書局. ISBN 7211034904.

A brief discussion on numbers

"A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure and also label. " -- Wikipedia's definition of "number".

There's an edit on the number of troops Ling Tong killed, and I think it's worthwhile to point out an interesting point that Chen Shou gave the highest kill-count in Ling's bio. But there's a different opinion on the nature of the edit. Is it an original research? My understanding is Chen Shou had already explicitly "measured and also labeled" (provided wiki's definition on "number" is true as an axiom). As an engineer, I really can't perceive my edit as an "original research".
