[edit] Pixels
Why 150 pixels? --Joy [shallot] 01:05, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hmm. It seems that the template used abbreviations to avoid widening, but then Zy26 removed those (with no explanation and in a minor edit, no less!) and Cantus fixed the width to compensate. This is not exactly the best way to go about these things, Zy... --Joy [shallot] 01:07, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Leave out the small stuff
This box is too long. Let's leave out the small breaks (e.g. Wang Mang, Empress Wu) or convert this to a footer. --Jiang 15:19, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Mongol Great Khans?
Read Ran's edit notes and kindly note that not all Mongol Great Khans were Yuan Emperors. Its obviously inaccurate using two terms interchangeably. Needless to say the Manchu/Ching/Ta-tsing/Da-qing....etc.
[edit] easyTimeline!
Lovely template. Can now be done via easytimeline... might be a bit easier to read and update. +sj + 18:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Colored background meaning?
I was wondering if there was a rationale behind the selection of colours for the backgrounds? Do they allude to periods of peace, or are they just a semi-random Four color theorem solution? Thanks :) --Quiddity 01:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's random. Every dynasty fell because of wars so I don't think they alude to periods of peace or whatnots. Though I think there's interesting that the PRC is pink while the ROC is green. BlueShirts 06:26, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] shang after Xia
Hello, when we see the page for Xia 夏, on the right there is the chronology and the Shang is put above ( later stage in history ) where it should be below —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.79.24.250 (talk • contribs).
- The articles all say the opposite: eg History of China#Prehistory, or this quote, "The Shāng dynasty followed the quasi-legendary Xià Dynasty..." from the Shang Dynasty article. Based on that, I think perhaps you might be mistaken or confusing something? I'm not an expert here, just a vandal-guard, so if you can prove otherwise with references, I'd be happy to listen and help :) —Quiddity 07:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Goguryeo,Balhae, Tibet, Xiyu, Nanzhao, Dali, etc.
These local kingdom, although they never announce emperor, should be included in the template, since they are part of Chinese history. We might have too many of them, but we should choose some important one and use etc. for the rest.--Yeahsoo 07:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- I would advise against that, because they were only peripheral kingdoms in Chinese history. Plus, additions like that would be reverted pretty quickly anyway. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 07:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
