Expelled members of the Chinese Communist Party category

In light of the ongoing anti-corruption campaign under Xi Jinping, many articles in the then-very large Expelled members of the Chinese Communist Party category have recently been diffused to yearly categories. However, there are a number of articles that could not be "dated" because there is no information on when they were expelled: they need information on when they were expelled, with reliable sources whenever possible. Also, some older expulsions may need to be combined into a category called "People expelled from the Chinese Communist Party before 1990" or something but I have trouble making {{Category series navigation}} detect the "cut-off" category. --Minoa (talk) 19:25, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Discussion at Talk:EVE Energy § Article title

 You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:EVE Energy § Article title. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:35, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

EVE Energy is a newly created article that needs to be assessed. Perhaps someone from this WikiProject could take a look at it, and also assess whether the article's title should be "EVE" or "Eve". It's possible that EVE is a translation of the company's Chinese name,but it's also possible that capitalization is just for stylistic reasons. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:40, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Featured lists that need work to avoid removal nominations

Hello. I'm not a regular participant in this project, but I am a delegate at WP:FLC. I wanted to note that a couple featured lists I stumbled across don't meet our modern day requirements.

• List of emperors of the Han dynasty
• List of emperors of the Song dynasty

To be more specific, neither one is accessible (row and column scopes are a requirement at FLC now). I don't want to nominate these for featured list removal, as they're both part of featured topics, so I thought I'd bring it up here first as an opportunity for interested editors to make the relevant improvements. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:07, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh, that's the intersection I'm the most qualified editor for. Will fix this up ASAP, thanks! Remsense ‥ 论 15:10, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh how do they look at present? I feel like I tackled major points but if there's anything else you're noticing LMK Remsense ‥ 论 04:04, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Much better @Remsense. Improved enough I'm not going to be looking through them with a fine toothed comb :P Thank you for your work on these!

Though I do think the specifications for column lengths could be improved (in List of emperors of the Han dynasty), I'm not bothered enough by it to force the issue or anything. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:05, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Can Controversy_over_Baidu be rescued or should it be deleted?

Since speedies/DRV don't registser well in the deletion discussion alerts, I'll link this discussion here. This is an article translated from zh wiki, speedied as an attack page and now being discussed at DRV (effectively a deletion discussion). _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 03:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Chinese numbers for Prisoners of war in World War II

I am writing this; the source I am using, while recent and reliable, states that the number of Chinese POWs who died in WW2 are unknown. I assume this is a sad example of Western bias, as surely there should be some estimates for that from Chinese scholars?

If someone is interested in this topic area, note that we still do not have any article about Japanese war crimes against the POWs. I just finished one for the Germans, which also was missing... see the linked article for list of what we have. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:54, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Update: I have now created Allied prisoners of war in Japan. The best estimate for Chinese POW I have is "tens of thousands every year", with an unknown fatality rate outside the somewhat shocking statistics that only 56 Chinese POWs were released after Japan surrendered. Can anyone find anything better? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:50, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Edu-Aid in YongNing

The article Edu-Aid in YongNing has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved for 15 years. No articles in Mandarin or other Chinese languages to expand. Run of the mill, very small charity. Not enough information to merge.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Chen Zongying spelling

Hi there, I and another editor are discussing whether Chen Zongying should be moved to "Chen Congying". I would love additional input from editors more familiar with Chinese to English transliteration/romanization on whether the move should happen or not.

Possible machine translated name for Lake Seema

This is a short article created by a student of mine, translated from zh wiki. I worry she might have invented the name (with machine translation); I am not getting any non-wikipedia hits for that. Could someone check whether it needs renaming? TIA _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, looks like an erroneous machine translation to me. Unless there are reliable sources using the spelling "Seema", it should be moved to Xima Lake or maybe Lake Xima. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 15:52, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Highway patrols?

When i visited sichuan a week ago i noticed some police cars were marked with "Sichuan Public Security Department Highway patrol" but i don't see much information on chinese provincial highway patrol agencies on wikipedia.

Can someone do some more digging into this subject?
