[edit] Questionable Material
I removed the 2nd paragraph from 'the flood' section, which read:
- This was one of the three major disasters of the war that had been contrived by the Chinese. The other two were the Changsha conflagration and the Chongqing air-raid shelter suffocation.
Theres no link to the Changsha conflagration, and the Chongqing air-raid shelter suffocation article claims it was a bombing campaign by the Japanese (and makes no mention of any "contriveness" by the Chinese gov't). Might be worth it to source it, too.
If I'm wrong on this, just tell me I'm stupid and re-add it :) --Curious brain 17:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- There is an article on the Chinese Wikipedia about the Changsha conflagration. _dk 23:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- Much appreciated. All I can get is a very rough translation via Google/Babelfish. If you know the language I certainly wouldn't mind working with you (although, I don't speak Chinese [simple/traditional] so I don't know what help I would be) to generate an English copy. In any event, most of the stuff I can dig up mentions no Chinese complicity in the air-raid shelter suffocation. --Curious brain 01:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- I would like to work on it, but I don't know much about Sino-Japanese War, and I don't feel comfortable using a straight translation from the Chinese article because it lists no sources... If you are interested, maybe you can ask the people over at WikiProject China? _dk 02:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Very good, sir/ma'am - I will do that. Appreciate your correspondence on this issue; I'll post any new developments under a new section here (or your talk page) if I get anywhere based on the suggested link. Thanks again.--Curious brain 03:36, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
