Wrong amount of UNESCO world heritage sites

[edit]

The article states that China has 57 UNESCO world heritage sites, at the end of the 4th paragraph. In reality, this number should be 59. This is confirmed by the official UNESCO website. I would change it, but I don't have the right permissions to edit the article. ExtragalacticXG (talk) 08:04, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes: List of World Heritage Sites in China. Can't edit for you since I am using a public computer but added the template so someone else could take care of it. --2600:1700:3ECA:4600:4D9C:4A6D:4978:8DEA (talk) 07:22, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated language around suicide

[edit]

Please would you consider removing the term 'committed suicide' and replacing with 'died by suicide' or 'took his own life'? In the section 'History' under 'Ming'.

A bit more info from the Centre for Suicide prevention here: https://www.suicideinfo.ca/local_resource/suicideandlanguage/ No0dlek8 (talk) 16:13, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1) "Died by suicide" implies that suicide is something done to someone instead of something done by them, 2) you can't take your own life, as you already have it. You can only take the life of another. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 20:43, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disputing Chongqing's inclusion as a largest city

[edit]

Like Baqotun003 said, most other countries' largest cities are defined by population, not area. The city proper page points out that listing cities by by surface area can cause controversy, particularly in regards to China, and one of the sources on that page mentions that even though the municipal district of Chongqing has a total population of more than 30 million inhabitants, fewer than 6 million actually live in Chongqing city proper. Depending on which classification is used, Chongqing is sometimes listed as the world's largest city and, in other cases, does not even appear in the top rung of urban population rankings. Thus, to avoid controversy, I think Beijing should be listed as the sole largest city of China. Vesperius (talk) 03:02, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to what ranking is Beijing the largest city? 172.56.165.223 (talk) 19:36, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might want to look at the 2011 move discussion where this was settled. Simonm223 (talk) 19:42, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
not sure what you are talking about....what was the exact name of the discussion? UnsungHistory (Wrong Edit!) 00:01, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is listed at the top of the page. Also, there is an FAQ plainly at the top of the page explaining our article title policy and how it applies here. Remsense ‥ 论 01:23, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 28 November 2024

[edit]

"In 2010, the annual education expenditure per secondary school student in Beijing totalled ¥20,023, while in Guizhou, one of the poorest provinces, only totalled ¥3,204."

Under demographics, education

Very simple request, please add the word "it"

"[in Guizhou] it only totalled ¥3,204"

if not this then remove the word "in" such that it says

"[Guizhou] only totalled 3,204"

Thanks! 2A02:C7E:2F68:AC00:ADA3:23A6:8AB6:4E4 (talk) 01:49, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
