Not for nothing but the first edits on the page were in American English. Was there a discussion about why Mao had notably closer ties to the United Kingdom somewhere in the textwall archives? or is this something we should remove from the talk page banners and fix when someone has a mind to? — LlywelynII 12:39, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

English was the sole official language of Hong Kong until 1978, and remains an official language in Hong Kong — a territory ceded directly to China by the UK only a few decades ago.
Unsurprisingly, HK English is far closer to the English spoken in England than the English spoken in America. Foxmilder (talk) 11:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong age of Luo Yixiu[edit]

The article states: Luo was locally disgraced and died in 1910 at 21 years old.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luo_Yixiu, she was 20 when she died (if you take a look at her birth and death dates).

I can't change it due to page protection, but maybe someone else can. ––TobbiM (talk) 17:25, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect year on Mao's infobox portrait?[edit]

The caption reads "Mao in 1959" but the image on Wikimedia Commons says "Mao Zedong 1963", so which year is it? 1959 or 1963? If 1959 is incorrect, please switch it over to 1963, and vice-versa if 1963 is incorrect. HelloTHERE123456 (talk) 18:59, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
