This needs the city box, as shown on the Nanjing page. craigTheBrit 18:18, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wuhan's climate is humid subtropical (Köppen Cfa) with abundant rainfall and four distinctive seasons. = pretty sure that you mean "distinct seasons", but seasons are, by definition, distinct, why not just leave that adjective out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.239.84.146 (talk) 02:01, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Soup baozi

I changed Tang bao to Xiaolongbao, but it may be wrong. In Wuhan, there are Xiaolongbao, but they are called Tang bao. Can someone advise? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a long time since I was in Wuhan, but I think you're right—I heard xiaolongbao in Beijing and, to a lesser extent, Shanghai, but tang bao in Wuhan.

Although, from what I remember, the real big one in Wuhan is 煎包 (fried baozi). rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 05:50, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

：I am from Wuhan, bao, means bum, xiaolong, means the little stemer, therefore, xiaolongbao, means small steam bum, tangbao, means, soup bum, jian bao, means stir fried bum, Xiao Long Jian Bao, means little stir fried bum. Bum is just like bread with meat with different size. common size is weight of 50g, the small one is smaller than ping pong ball and about or less 20g(User:azload) —Preceding undated comment added 18:33, 15 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Cuisine: Youguo

The Cuisine section mentions "a wide variety of distinctive snacks with a long history in Wuhan, such as ... youguo (a deep-fried twisted dough stick) in the Song and Yuan dynasties". Can you compare/contrast/clarify youguo with Youtiao, which seems to be the same thing. No mention of the term youguo on the youtiao page, so not clear if this is a typo here, or regional name for youtiao, or ... ? 64.7.70.234 (talk) 21:16, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018 Additions

My goal for the Wuhan article is that the page will be able to go from a C-level article to a B-level article in the coming year or so. To reach this goal, I started today by adding whatever I could find about Wuhan that was already on Wikipedia that wasn't linked or noted on this page. There are undoubtedly some errors, but I hope we can sift through it and make this a top notch page. Wuhan is building two buildings which will be among the top two or three tallest buildings on Earth, and I think it would be a pity if there wasn't a high-quality page about Wuhan on Wikipedia as interest in Wuhan grows.

Health warning

Wuhan is currently under lockdown because there is a deadly virusoutbreak. If you are in Wuhan, minimise contact. For more info look at

https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/risk-assessment-outbreak-acute-respiratory-syndrome-associated-novel-coronavirus Lassebeg (talk) 13:10, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The addition has been removed several times already. The main reason is that this is an encyclopedia article, it's not its purpose to give instructions or warnings. A further problem with that version is that the health warning was in a section of its own above everything else: this means that the lede (the article's introductory section) had ended up part of it (which it ought not to be), and that all the content of the article (including the health warning) had been pushed down after the table of contents. – Uanfala (talk) 13:34, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Novel?

Article calls this virus 'novel'

The semantics of 'novel' imply a usual positive meaning - how about finding a better word - eg 'uncommon' -- ??
