Talk:Chongqing

Chongqing being used in external chinese propaganda

Chongqing is being used in external Chinese propaganda, often using the municipality population number (over 32 million) to make it appear bigger than the actual population of the built up area (over 9 million), showing Liziba station (highlighting the fact that the station is inside a apartment building, with trains riding to the inside of the building) and Kuixing Building (highlighting the fact that what appears to be a small city square, is actually on the 22nd floor of the building) as a example of unqiue architecture, therefore why not include information about Chonqing being used in external chinese propaganda on this article or in wikipedia? it dosen't need to be like this text, but what i said is what is done in chinese external propaganda shwoing chongqing 109.81.89.240 (talk) 18:13, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

As was already made clear, you're being asked to provide a source that verifies each of the claims present in the addition you want to make to the article, at a minimum. Site policy (WP:BURDEN) requires you include such an inline citation when challenged. Remsense 🌈 论 18:16, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

well im trying to create a discussion about this topic, of course there will be inline citations in the article when there will be this subject on the main (non-talk page) article 109.81.89.240 (talk) 18:37, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

Just not sure what there is to discuss if you're not planning on providing any citations, given this proposal is otherwise wholly your preference. Remsense 🌈 论 18:38, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

well, what i meant is that people discussing about this subject in the talk page will put citations and talk about how it would be written in the wikipedia article 109.81.89.240 (talk) 18:51, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

You are welcome to put citations here. I am not sure who else you think is going to provide citations for the claims you are making Czarking0 (talk) 05:15, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

For better discussion I suggest you order these like:

1. first
2. second

It is hard for other to read a mangle of links.

Second please cross reference WP:RSP and WP:RSN and place the sources that have consensus as reliable on top.

Assuming there are reliable sources in this list, add claims that are well supported by the reliable sources to the article with a reference like

If you have a hard time with the formatting click "Edit Source" at the top of this page and then Ctrl+F for mangle to see my comment. Czarking0 (talk) 15:40, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for adding sources. From this list I note straitstimes and SCMP as particularly good ones. There is probably something usable here. Czarking0 (talk) 15:44, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

The straitstimes source only has a passing mention of Chongqing so I don't think it holds relevance for this article Czarking0 (talk) 15:46, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

scmp has the same story so I think the same there too Czarking0 (talk) 23:51, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

The Chinamediaproject's coverage of the creation of ichongqing is almost certianly relevant. Chonqing application of Telling China's stories well is worth mentioning in the article. Probably additional sources should be used to round out the picture Czarking0 (talk) 15:50, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Split into Municipality and City Proper?

Despite the Chongqing Municipality acting as if it is a city, having lived there people do draw a distinction between the City/9 Central Districts and the rest of the municipality.

Would it be easier to find relevant info and organise the page if the municipality and city were on different pages? ~2026-47103-88 (talk) 05:44, 30 August 2026 (UTC)
