Move to 'Wuhan government'?[edit]

There isn't anything wrong with the present title, but I find it quite long. Per WP:CONCISE, I think Wuhan government might be a better name. This is found much more frequently in RS, and I think makes sense. How does anyone feel about that? RGloucester — ☎ 22:10, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I support this proposal. Applodion (talk) 13:43, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from 715 Incident[edit]

I recently discovered 715 Incident. That article appears to be largely about the Wuhan government, and not about the actual incident. I have a feeling most of that content should be merged here... RGloucester — ☎ 13:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I partially agree. Though the current "715 Incident" article contains information that mostly belongs to this article, the actual Wuhan-Communist split was a significant event that deserves its own article. Applodion (talk) 13:54, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a go at merging the relevant content here. That article needs a lot of work, if anyone has access to source material. RGloucester — ☎ 19:15, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it looks much better now, although I agree it still needs a lot of work. I assumed there is a lot of duplicate information due to Wuhan government standalone article never existed for a long while (not even on Chinese Wikipedia, for what it's worth). I have limited access to sources materials but I'll see what I can dig up when I have more time. Alex Shih (talk) 19:11, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's come to my attention that the present Nanjing–Wuhan split article started as an article about the 715 Incident, and was only recently changed to be about the actual Nanjing–Wuhan split. Taking this into consideration, and given the large amount of duplication and parallel articles that have been existing in this topic area, I was wondering if we could merge the present content of Nanjing–Wuhan split here. I real think the situation up until now has not done justice to the topic...consolidation seems the best way to provide decent content for the reader.

I've worked on cleaning this up...not sure if anyone approves, but think a less balkanised article structure benefits the reader...still need help converting the Chinese citations to Harvard style, if anyone can help with that. RGloucester — ☎ 16:22, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citation style[edit]

There are few Chinese citations that need to be converted to the standard style for this article...I did most of them, but there are a few left that I'm not adequately able to decipher. If anyone could be so kind, I'd appreciate if they could be cleaned up. RGloucester — ☎ 17:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Wuhan Nationalist government[edit]

Thanks to @RGloucester: for being careful about capitalisation and moving the article, but "Nationalist" in the title should be capitalised because it is short for the "Wuhan government of the Nationalist Party," that is, it refers to the Nationalist Party, and is not an adjective, like "patriotic." ch (talk) 01:38, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
