Reassessment Request

  1. PLA Unit 61486 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) — requested by Blank61 (talk · contribs) Have expanded a stub on a PLA unit accused of cyber espionage and cyber attacks. Mainly on what they did and who they targeted. Additionally have expanded on response the Foreign Ministry after the accusations. I believe that it is at least a C. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, just under duress since this is for an assignment.

I've nominated Chinese Modern Coins, an article unreferenced since 2009, for deletion or merging into Renminbi#Coins. Feel free to participate in the discussion on the AfD page. --benlisquareTCE 14:08, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about organization of articles on dynasties

There is a general question about how articles about dynasties are organized, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject History#Organization of articles on dynasties. Thanks! — MarkH21talk 19:24, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Translation request for DYK

A reviewer at Template:Did you know nominations/Duo Yun Xuan has asked for clarification on what the thing is. It needs an editor who can read Chinese to read the sources. Sources: [1][2][3]

Any help appreciated. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 09:23, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sidebar needing improvement

I found a sidebar that would greatly benefit from someone familiar with the topic: Template:Chinese democracy movement. Right now, it is a mess that is transcluded at Democracy movements of China, 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, and 2011 Chinese pro-democracy protests. — Goszei (talk) 01:32, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up: I've resolved this by reverting to an older version. — Goszei (talk) 23:37, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year

This year Chinese New Year will be widely celebrated on 12th February.

"The Chinese year will start on Feb 12 2021 and end on Feb 1 2022, when the Year of the Tiger begins."

In Vietnam and Mongolia the festival is celebrated on different days (the day before and the day after, respectively).

YEAR OF THE METAL OX

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ox_in_Chinese_mythology

There are already pages on Wikipedia for the Five Phases and the Twelve Earthly Branches.

FIVE PHASES

Wood | Fire | Earth | Metal | Water

TWELVE EARTHLY BRANCHES

Rat | Ox | Tiger | Rabbit | Dragon | Snake | Horse | Goat | Monkey | Rooster | Dog | Pig

Bearing in mind the significance of the Chinese POV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users) would my fellow Wikipedians agree with me that there is good enough reason to have a separate page for each year in the sexagenary cycle?

Not on this world article, although some of that could be important enough for articles such as 2021 in China. Jim Michael (talk) 13:30, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jim Michael: Thank you ! I have copied my query here ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2021_in_China#Happy_New_Year Dbug002 (talk) 14:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Seems fine to me. A number of other Wikipedias already have articles along these lines, e.g. zh:辛丑 and de:Metall-Büffel. To me a title like Xinchou seems more intuitive than Metal ox (compare Xinhai Revolution, which is never translated as "Metal Pig Revolution"). —Granger (talk · contribs) 15:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
