== 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 ]. I wanted to note that a couple featured lists I stumbled across don't meet our modern day requirements.
* ]
* ]

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. ] (]) 15:07, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

== Chinese numbers for ] ==

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.

:Update: I have now created ]. 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? <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]&#124;]</sub> 15:50, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

== ] == == Highway patrols? ==


When i visited sichuan a week ago i noticed some ] cars were marked with "{{Ill|Sichuan Public Security Department|zh|四川省公安廳}} Highway patrol" but i don't see much information on chinese provincial highway patrol agencies on wikipedia.
The article is being hounded to death by several IPs (likely the same person or meatpuppets) insisting that Cao Cao was an emperor because his "official" title was Emperor Wu of Wei. Of course we all know that this title is posthumous and we typically don't consider posthumously-named emperors to be emperors themselves. Is there a guideline on Misplaced Pages or scholarship that explicitly points this out? The root of the problem in this article is that it's not well referenced with modern sources, so if anyone can help in this regard, that would be great. ] (]) 00:16, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Edu-Aid in YongNing

Notice

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 Misplaced Pages 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.
