I find it a problem when no sources are discussed in an article about someone who lived so long ago. Tibetologist (talk) 18:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification needed

Clarification in this article is needed: how could he have been the count of Zhou in the late Shang Dynasty when (according to the Wikipedia article about the Zhou Dynasty) the Zhou Dynasty was not founded until after the Shang Dynasty? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 09:02, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Wen's father was the preceding Count of Zhou, which was the "small state along the Wei river" where Wen was the Count of. I inserted the name and wiki-link. -- M.boli (talk) 12:48, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy: date of death

How could King Wen of Zhou have died in 1050 and 1056? This article gives both dates, without further explanation. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 01:27, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kern?

Note six has "Kern (2010), p. 23." but no other information. Can someone flesh out this note? Perhaps the original reference which had the full source details was eliminated? Perm Dude (talk) 21:33, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Perm Dude: Looks like it was it never had a fuller explanation. It was added in this edit. Fortunately our article on the Shijing uses the same citation and had a target for the sfnp template to point to, so I copied it over. Folly Mox (talk) 22:12, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
