[edit] Legacy

I retitled the section 'Impact on history' as 'Legacy' and rewrote it. Bo Yang's comment on Emperor Wu's sexual fetish at castrating was removed, as it appears to me speculation by a single historian on a matter of minor importance doesn't belong to an encyclopedia acticle. The two sentences discussion on Confucianism's pros and cons was also removed, IMHO it's oversimplified and the discussion should be in the main Confucianism acticle anyway. --geckotheside, 20 sep 2005

[edit] "Created"

Miborovsky, your assertion that "created" is grammatically wrong is incorrect. Please see, for example, Prince Charles#Created Prince of Wales. "Create" is the right verb for this. If you have some better reason than it being "grammatically correct" (and please note, for example, your assertion that it is grammatically incorrect would make nearly every single historian who writes on the subject to be grammatically incorrect), please state it now, rather than simply changing all of the instances of the verb "create" again. --Nlu 07:48, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Please also see, for example, [1]. I trust that if you are going to assert again that it's grammatically incorrect, that you'd have some authority to state that Merriam-Webster is incorrect. --Nlu 07:55, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough, but you could do away with the sarcasm. --Miborovsky 22:17, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Suggest removing Copyedit tag

I came to this article from the Copyedit list, it appears to me that the issues that led to it being tagged have been resolved, I suggest removing the tag. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SailorfromNH (talk • contribs) .

It was tagged by Jiang to try to improve it further. I do think that it looks fine now, but I'd like somebody else to take another look at it as well. Do you feel confident enough to remove the tag? --Nlu 02:26, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
