Help identifying monument

I took this photograph in Shanghai, probably not far from People's Square, but I can't identify this monument. Is anyone familiar? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:31, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

It's a monument of zh:南京路上好八连 ("Good Eighth Company on Nanjing Road") per . Timmyshin (talk) 08:55, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

@Timmyshin: Thank you! Might you be willing to create a stub for the monument here at English Misplaced Pages? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:06, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

• The monument is most likely not notable. Timmyshin (talk) 21:17, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

• @Timmyshin: Even though there's a Chinese Misplaced Pages article? Or, can you tell if the Chinese Misplaced Pages article about a topic more general than just the monument itself? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:20, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

• The zh.wiki article is about the subject of the monument: a People's Liberation Army company stationed in Shanghai which became famous during a propaganda campaign in the 1950s/1960s. I suppose it's notable, but it'll be hard to translate the topic into English. Timmyshin (talk) 21:26, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:27, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

If you visit the Bund

We need a photo of the new and spectacular Fosun Foundation. Many thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:13, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Request for comment for those who live in mainland China.

FYI, see m:CentralNotice/Request/Wiki_Science_Competition_2017_(November_1-30)#China. It's a request for banner for Wiki Science Competition. Actually, we have two jurors from China but it's difficult for us to make a campaign and we have no uploaded files.Vietnam and India might get something.. for sure Thailand, Russia, Taiwan and Australia might get a sitenotice but not China, which will be one of the few countries in East Asia without appropriate coverage.--Alexmar983 (talk) 15:17, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Is it appropriate to call Hong Kong a country in the article Four Asian Tigers?

The article itself is a bit of a mess, with some original research, an IP hopper recently, and other problems including promotional wording, huge lists of citations, etc. Doug Weller talk 09:16, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

It would be better to say "economy" – that would also avoid arguments about Taiwan's status. And yes, the lead of that article has been stuffed with puffery, making it useless, as mentioned on the talk page. Kanguole 09:38, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Missing article related to Forbidden City?

I created some talk page sections starting at Talk:Forbidden_City#Gate_of_Thriving_Imperial_Clan.3F to discuss whether or not articles should be created for a few topics related to Forbidden City. Project members are invited to contribute. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:05, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

@Cobblet and Timmyshin: Sorry to bother, but you've both been so helpful today and thought I'd ask if you might know anything about these Forbidden City structures, and whether or not they're independently notable. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:02, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Unidentified outdoor monument

Does any project member know how to identify this outdoor monument? Thanks, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:18, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

This monument is obviously related to the May Fourth Movement as can be seen by the date of "1919.5.4". Timmyshin (talk) 21:28, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

@Timmyshin: Yes, and the image is categorized as such at Commons. I was mostly curious if this monument had a specific name and/or should have a stub here at English Misplaced Pages? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:30, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

It is the memorial to the May Fourth Movement near the Red Building at Peking University. Cobblet (talk) 21:33, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

@Cobblet: Thank you. I'm assuming not notable enough for a Misplaced Pages article? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:39, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Seems marginal at best – I can't seem to find much on it. Cobblet (talk) 21:48, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for checking. I create stubs for many outdoor monuments and sculptures, so I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a missed opportunity to work on another. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:51, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

I would look to the lists of national cultural sites for monuments that are unquestionably notable. Cobblet (talk) 21:58, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

• I added the picture to the May Fourth Movement article. Timmyshin (talk) 21:41, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

• @Timmyshin: Like Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:45, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Unidentified statues

Is a project member able to help identify this statue/monument in Shanghai's Jing'an Park? Notable enough for a stub? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:29, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

It's a teachers' monument. Doesn't look particularly notable. Cobblet (talk) 21:45, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:47, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Also, how about File:Shanghai (December 10, 2015) - 062.jpg? Here's the plaque. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:38, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

It's a monument to Zhang Side. Again not particularly notable. Cobblet (talk) 21:45, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:47, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Help with a draft?

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help with the drafts at User:Happyweekdays/Chinese students in the United States and User:Happyweekdays/Chinese faculty in U.S. I think that this could be a good topic on Misplaced Pages in general considering how many Chinese people are coming to the United States for education and/or to serve as educators, enough to where it would warrant its own article. Currently the student who is working on these topics (Happyweekdays) has students and faculty in two different articles, but I don't know if they could be merged into one article. Any help with this as far as advice or edits would be much appreciated! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:26, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

• (Cross posting this to a few places to see if we can get more help.) Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:26, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Tianjin Binhai Library

If you live in Tianjin, please get a photo of the new and stunning Tianjin Binhai Library. Thank you!

Chinese Ambassador to Belgium

Would the article be improved if a separate column was made with only the image in it and insert interlangagelinks where possible? Lotje (talk) 12:43, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

@Lotje: I guess. Other than the images (which, size wise, are disproportionate at the moment), the lede needs to be expanded. Alex Shih (talk) 16:52, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

@Alex Shih:, where should the image be inserted? First colum seems the most logical to me. Lotje (talk) 17:53, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

@Lotje: Second column is probably better. See Misplaced Pages:Featured_lists#Politics_and_government for better examples. Alex Shih (talk) 19:30, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Input needed on Quanzhang/Hokkien/Southern Min/Minnan Proper mess

Maoist Theory of National Struggle

Would someone from this WikiProject mind assessing Maoist Theory of National Struggle? It's a newly created article moved directly to the mainspace by a student participating in Misplaced Pages:Wiki_Ed/UCSD/HIGR_210_Socialism_in_China_(2017_Fall). Just for reference, the article has already been userfied once before, but maybe this time around it is OK for the mainspace. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:09, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
