[edit] Contradiction with Liu Yan (Three Kingdoms)

I translated both this article and Liu Yan (Three Kingdoms) from Japanese Wiki. According to this article, Liu Zhang was sent to Liu Yan to admonish him, and was subsequently prevented from going back to the court, which allowed him to avoid the fate of his older brothers who were killed in the battle with Li Jue and Guo Si. However, Liu Yan's article says that Liu Zhang was at the court, and barely escaped capture. Since neither Japanese article cites its sources, I have no idea. If there's anyone who knows for sure which it is, please fix it.--Alex Small 06:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction as to paternity of Liu Chan (Shan)

Liu Zhang and Liu Bei's articles both say that they are the fathers of Liu Chan. I believe that Liu Bei is the father but this is not verified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bisc0801 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
