Talk:Li Desheng

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Start

I found a redirect from Li Desheng to Mao Zedong, and so decided to create an article. My first attempt, so help is welcome. DOR (HK) (talk) 04:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

First challenge: how to stop my effort from being reverted to a "redirect." Ah, so much to learn . . . DOR (HK) (talk) 08:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Just overwrite it with content. No need to blank the page first. Even a stub will do. Rossami (talk) 13:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Rossami. Now, I'm having trouble formatting the succession box. Data dump, until I get better at this:

Preceded by Li Baohua, CCP Secretary	Anhui Revolutionary Committee Chairman 1968 – 1974	Succeeded by Song Peizhang
Preceded by Xiao Hua	PLA General Political Department Director 1970 – 1970	Succeeded by Zhang Chunqiao
Preceded by Zheng Weishan	Beijing Military Region Commander 1970 – 1974	Succeeded by Chen Xilian
Preceded by Chen Xilian	Shenyang Military Region Commander 19xx – 19xx	Succeeded by Liu Jingsong

• This article was originally a redirect page to Mao Zedong. It was not wrong. Mao Zedong indeed used Li Desheng (李德胜) as his pseudonym (see, e.g., this article). That's why Mao's two daughters Li Min and Li Na have the family name Li, not Mao. --Neo-Jay (talk) 07:13, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
