Anbei protectorate and chanyu protectorate

Please explain why anbei prptectorate and chanyu protectorat should not exist,User:Kanguole. 163.136.36.58 (talk) 10:17, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

The northern areas are not included in the map of Tang territory because the cited source maps do not include them. Kanguole 10:26, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
How many reliable are the "cited source maps"? 163.136.36.56 (talk) 10:56, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
(Just so you know, you only pinged me with that by creating a piped link.)
  • Cambridge and Oxford University Press are generally reliable sources according to our content guidelines. Particularly, The Cambridge History of China is a very well-respected anthology.
  • Denis Twitchett and Mark Elvin are fairly well-known as sinologists go. Michael Shin is a director of geography at UCLA.
  • More concretely, there have been no criticisms of the research (or self-retractions) from fellow academics like that of the other proposed source material as far as I am aware of.
Is there an answer to this question that will satisfy you? Please rebuff me if I'm being insensitive, but it seems there's an unbridgeable gap because we do not happen to be using sources originally published in China. Remsense 11:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Oh, it's probably a mistake when copying and pasting the mention link, don't worry about it.
Therefore, please write not only the names of the researchers, also write it down their claims in the main body of the article.
Otherwise it won't solve the problem. 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:22, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Lucky for you, the sources are cited inline one after another in the map caption. Are you asking for me to copy-paste the relevant passages in their entirety? Remsense 11:25, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
I would like the article on "Tang Dynasty" to be written in an easy-to-understand manner.
To ensure that the infobox map, article text, and real-world historical materials do not contradict each other. 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Do you know how to edit Wikipedia articles? 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:31, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Feel free to compare and contrast with the sourcing given in the image description, I hope I've already done the needful. I've been very generous with my time and I'm not really interested in doing rote verification of fairly accessible material by those who should be able to do so themselves. Remsense 11:34, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Is it true that even though it has been edited over 20,000 times, you still don't know how to write the content of the information source in the article? ? 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Let me know if you find any discrepancies between the map and its cited sources. Remsense 11:42, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
There is no need to find a contradiction
It would be enough to simply explain to Wikipedia readers "Why Anbei protectorate and chanyu protectorate cannot be included in the map of the Tang dynasty's territory." 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
As the title of this discussion says, I have said it over and over again.
so don't be shy, I'm sure you can do it. 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
I'm sure I'm easily accessible, but is that the case for the masses who read my articles?
I guess you've never thought about it seriously. 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:42, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Are you upset with the concept of citation? That's not my problem. Let me know if you find something. Remsense 11:43, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
It's not that I'm angry.
There is a good chance that everyone who will refer to Wikipedia from now on will feel confused and angry at the contradictions in the article.
Are you willing to fulfill your role as an editor? 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:49, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
would you have the sources of the researchers' claims at hand? 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:26, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
I'll come tomorrow or the next night to check your results. 163.136.36.57 (talk) 11:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Don't bother unless you're pointing out a specific contradiction between the article and the sources it cites. Remsense 12:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
