Capitalization[edit]

According to MOS:CAPS, "Wikipedia relies on sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized; only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia". I did a search of Google and Google books results, and found that although "South China Sea" is capitalized, and many sources do capitalize "South China", usage is mixed, and a significant proportion do not capitalize "south China" and especially not "southern China". Examples: [1] [2] [3], [4] [5] It also corresponds to the Northern and southern China article. Therefore I have changed it in this article. --IamNotU (talk) 12:02, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"South China according to the 1945–1949 definition"...[edit]

Sorry, but what does the "1945-1949 definition" refer to, exactly? Some clarification/a source would be most appreciated. Bambi'nin annesi (talk) 22:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:North China which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 17:17, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

why?[edit]

How come "City proper" population is the biggest number, bigger than "Urban area" and "District area"? 2A01:E0A:1DC:4570:756D:DFD7:3EAF:DD62 (talk) 00:48, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
