If you are interested in contributing to Chinese provinces articles, the Wikipedia:WikiProject Chinese provinces might help. olivier 16:10 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)

The list of provinces needs to be reordered. There is a standard Chinese ranking for provinces that needs to be followed.

You should have been a bit more careful in your copying of this section of the China article: now there is nothing about the provinces in the main article, and all the links of the provinces are gone. Quite a waste of time to have to restore this. olivier 07:01 Nov 22, 2002 (UTC)

Is Provinces of China really an appropriate title instead of Political divisions of China?

No, it feels odd to talk about the Muncipalities when the title says otherwise. But they are province-level. But they are still not the same thing.

So long as we have [[Province..] as a redirect, [[Pol. div. ...] can be a better parent article, and less confusing to those who doesn't realize SAR, Muni, and Autonomous Regions are province-level.

I agree political divisions of China is a better title. --Lorenzarius 18:30, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Okay, moved, but they're a bunch of links that need fixing. --Jiang 15:55, 9 Aug 2003 (UTC)

subprovincial levels

Someone needs to write sections on the subprovincial levels of government in China.

Done: Political_divisions_of_China#Levels. Improve where needed. --Menchi 08:11, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I think section 2 of the levels table needs a bit of work: specifically, the part about "Prefecture-level cities: some provinces them" seems to be missing a verb. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this to add a suitable one. --Bth 14:59, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)~

SAR

One point might need clarification: the article says that the special administrative regions were established in 1983. But the first one in existence was Hong Kong in 1997. What happened in 1983? olivier 07:30, Nov 27, 2003 (UTC)

-- the system was established and stated in the 1982 Constitution.

Formatting

The table seems to have two extra columns. --Jia ng 23:00, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Footer/template

Given the number of accessory articles on each division, we need a footer or series template. Should there be one for all of them or one for each level? --Jia ng 17:13, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

There aren't that many types, so I'd say one for all is best. -- ran 10:49, Jul 29, 2004 (UTC)

I've made a series template at Template:Administrative levels and divisions of the People's Republic of China (sidebar). -- ran 04:13, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)
