Talk:Chinese sovereign
- I have written the paragraphs of how to refer to a specific sovereign in a dynasty of kingdom and the table of Sovereigns of the Han Dynasty. I certainly needed a co-author or a major contributor since creating all the tables myself with good accuracy myself will be a heavy burden. For example, the starting and ending dates (month and day) of an Era Name may vary with the calendars used in that specific dynasty whose mathematical relationship to today calendar may not yet be well understood. So far I can only list the years, balancing accuracy and my workload.
- the list of Ming Emperors was a repost from Ming Dynasty. Thanx for your input.
Okay.... I'll just finish off all the tables listing only years and move onto other projects.
How about a name change to List of Chinese sovereigns so that this name follows a similar pattern of naming that has already been established by other lists on wikipedia. At the very least, the "s" should not be capitalized. I can do an administrative move which should preserve much of the history of this article (at the very least it would save who created it and who last edited it prior to the move -- the move feature is still a bit buggy). --maveric149
I'm not against the change but instead it could be changed to List of Chinese Sovereigns or Sovereigns of China since both ways follows the similar pattern as in List of reference tables.The former pattern fits List of German Kings and Emperors and the latter fits Monarchs of England, Great Britain, United Kingdom. IMO The change is not necessary unless a unified pattern is done for all lists in List of reference tables. Referring all tables to a new page just for uncapitalization is pretty worthless IMO cuz no ambiguity with other pages was seen so far. Also, as you have said it, the move feature is still a bit buggy and if any information is lost, it's pretty hard to trace and mend or proofread it for so many tables. For example it took me almost a day to finish and proofread the tables of Han dynasty, Three Kingdoms and JIn Dynasty. Imagine how much time would be needed if all sovereigns of China were "moved". We could wait until the move feature is fully capable of "moving". Meanwhile put a note on List of reference tables, naming convetion or FAQ so people know what the unified format for all tables in the future should look like. You may also want to gather some supports from wikipedians on talk pages. IMO why bother moving it when nobody is complaining?
