Move

[edit]

Why was this page moved? This is the only page that links to Demographics of mainland China so the purpose is defeated. I don't think this is necessary. --Jiang 04:39, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Summary style

[edit]

Is there any particularly reason for this page to changed from summary style to disambiguation [1]? — Instantnood 22:24, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

If there's no particular reason, the summary style should better be restored. — Instantnood 19:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quote article "According to the 2000 census, the TFR was 1.85 (0.86 for cities, 1.08 for towns and 1.43 for villages/outposts)." How can this be? 0.86, 1.08, and 1.43 cannot make a total of 1.85. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.80.179.6 (talk) 19:52, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

census results 2010

[edit]

Where can I get census results 2010 year of People's Republic of China with ethnic population?--Kaiyr (talk) 02:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move request

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved. Consensus appears to stand pretty firmly in opposition to the proposal, with the general sense being that the title Demographics of China should reflect the location of the article on China. bd2412 T 01:43, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

– To conform with the majority of articles on Wikipedia, e.g. Military history of China. Jeremy (talk) 10:45, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support -- This is an article about the area now govered by PRC. There is no reason to include the word "greater" in it, even if Sinkiang and Tibet are not (or were not) ethncially Chinese. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing should be moved. The existing article is fine in content and fine where it is. The other commenters (Shrigley, Kauffner, MadGeographer, NULL, JohnBlackburne) made that more explicit as their rationale. Myself, Eraserhead, and Chipmunkdavis all expressed reservations about it being a redirect. While I don't speak for the other two, I believe they are aware of the article's history and their comments express satisfaction with the current arrangement and surprise at the proposal. Nothing needs to be done except close this from further disruption. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 04:27, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Please note that i) the red link to Talk:Republic of China/Archive 20 shall now read Talk:Taiwan/Archive 20 (since the talk page was moved along with the article), and ii) some of my comments were disruptively deleted or refactored by Schmucky and Null for no reason before the Move request was archived.[3] Jeffrey (talk) 09:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They were refracted because you kept mixing unnecessary notes with your edits. CMD (talk) 10:08, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To repeat, I agreed not to add back the Unsigned tags. I did so without the Unsigned tags (except for one single tag since I posted a question to SchmuckyTheCat there),[4][5][6] but no one bothered to read and went straight to revert blindly.[7][8][9] Such blind reverts are disruptive. Jeffrey (talk) 16:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Jeffrey, you were blocked for 48 hours for being disruptive, and you are looking at a recommended month-long block because you still don't get that you're being disruptive. Three editors and two admins have told you you're being disruptive, maybe it's time you listened. NULL talk

Apparently no one actually noticed that the Unsigned tags were dropped. Or else they wouldn't have carried on blind reverts. Jeffrey (talk) 01:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your reverts still contained the unsigned tags, which is why they were reverted. The edit history shows this clearly. NULL talk

You have been told umpteen times on several different pages why this particular one has to been kept. To repeat, it's because there's a question posted to Schmucky. Jeffrey (talk) 01:20, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And you were told repeatedly not to do it. You persisted, you were reverted. Simple. NULL talk

No. No one ever challenged specifically about this single tag. You guys complained about all the Unsigned tags generally and then reverted blindly. Jeffrey (talk) 01:29, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You were told not to add unsigned tags, period. That doesn't mean 'add them if you're going to reply', it means 'don't add them'. You were reverted consciously. NULL talk

Do make some sense here my friend. That's much clearer to explain why I was posting such a question to Schmucky at that particular location. Jeffrey (talk) 17:53, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That you think 'don't add the unsigned tags' doesn't make sense is very indicative of your overall conduct on Wikipedia. You lack WP:COMPETENCY. NULL talk

Convert to Disambiguation or Conceptdab

[edit]

The term 'Greater China' never means the country China. As Jiang had suggested above (at 18:07, 19 March 2012, and a bit relevant at 01:02, 20 March 2012), Demographics of Greater China should be a disambiguation page either at Demographics of China or Demographics of China (disambiguation). Should we convert it per his suggestion? Or should it be a Conceptdab page instead? I myself would prefer Conceptdab. Jeffrey (talk) 16:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The term simply isn't used on Wikipedia. Since it was renamed, this title has been lucky to scrape 5 hits per day, and most of them have been because of the move discussion above. If anything, such an unused redirect should be deleted. NULL talk
