Qing Infobox Casualties update

[edit]

On the Chinese version of the page, there's a seemingly more exact breakdown of killed and wounded on the Chinese side of the conflict in the infobox, which maps quite closely to the ~35k the English page has currently.

I can't see any clear source for the breakdown, but if it's valid we should bring it over to this version of the page. 110.145.151.142 (talk) 23:43, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Missing article?

[edit]

"After more than six months of unbroken successes by (the) Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the port of Weihaiwei, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895".

Shouldn't be there an article between "by" and "Japanese"? Ramiro Echeverría (talk) 20:41, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Reads OK with or without: successes by Japanese land and [Japanese] naval forces. Cinderella157 (talk) 01:08, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"this does not generally go here"

[edit]

@Remsense "this does not generally go here". Actually it does. Check Second Opium War, Opium Wars, Russo-Japanese War, American Revolutionary War, Mexican–American War. There's more btw. Alexysun (talk) 21:12, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A collection of other articles being in violation of guidelines (WP:RESULT) doesn't justify another being as such. Feel free to help out by bringing those into line so I don't have to. Remsense诉 21:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Remsense Do it. Alexysun (talk) 06:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Remsense You claiming that WP:RESULT does not allow for treaties to be stated in a bullet point below the result in the result section of the infobox is an outright lie. Alexysun (talk) 22:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox does not have the scope to reflect nuances, and should be restricted to "X victory" or "Inconclusive". Where the result does not accurately fit with these restrictions use "See aftermath" (or similar) to direct the reader to a section where the result is discussed.

"Restricted to" makes it rather clear. If you call me a liar again, I am going to report you at ANI.Remsense诉 22:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, that is an incorrect interpretation of WP:RESULT. I have already consulted the HEAD coordinator of WikiProject Military history, who confirmed that he is not aware of any such restrictions that you mentioned.

Secondly, threatening to report someone who has committed no wrongdoing constitutes an attempt to intimidate and remove them from the platform. Feel free to report me if you wish. I have no fear, for my actions have been above reproach. Alexysun (talk) 23:10, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What does the word "restricted" mean to you? Similarly, calling an editor a liar and claiming it's beyond reproach shows you are also unaware of what another policy, WP:NPA, plainly says. It seems you are saying your personal attacks are "beyond reproach". Remsense诉 23:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I really dislike doing it, but I'm going to ping @Hawkeye7 since their comments are being leveraged in this discussion. Remsense诉 23:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:28, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto to me or @Remsense? Alexysun (talk) 06:53, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My "Ditto" means, what Remsense to you. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:50, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
