"The Story of Iparhan"

I deleted this section, which appears to be an extensive direct quote from an existing book, "Uighur Stories Along the Silk Road". A quote of that length seems like probably copyright violation to me, as well as the fact that the story has already been summarized in the article. If I'm mistaken, please feel free to revert, though I think it should folded in rather than repeating the legend a third time. --MC MasterChef 00:46, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Fragrant Concubine

Who moved this page to "Consort Rong" without raising it here first? First of all, this has led to a number of redirects, and second, Xiangfei is known as "Fragrant Concubine". This page needs to be moved back to Fragrant Concubine as per WP:UCN.--Niohe 01:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

i undid the move as no proposal was made and no reason was given in the move summary.--Jiang 04:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a ton!--Niohe 04:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Move for rename

I think this article should be renamed Iparkhan since that was the actual name of the fragrant concubine.--Gurdjieff (talk) 18:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Xiangfei

Shouldn't Xiangfei redirect here, with a link to the game character at the top? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.114.62.129 (talk) 07:39, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

COI Edit request

Would it be possible to add my historical fiction novel The Fragrant Concubine to this page under the literary section? Suitable text would be the single sentence as follows based on the way the other books cited have been set up - I have then also included links and reviews below if desired/required for verification but can be left out if not appropriate:

The Fragrant Concubine is the title of a historical fiction novel by Melissa Addey, published by Letterpress Publishing in 2015.

Author: Melissa Addey (www.MelisaAddey.com)

Selected for Editor's Choice by the Historical Novel Society

Reviewed by Professor James Millward, author of A Uyghur Muslim in Qianlong's Court: The Meanings of the Fragrant Concubine: "Melissa Addey has given us a new take on the cherished but controversial legend of 'the Fragrant Concubine', one that weaves together the many conflicting versions of the story and plausibly embraces how romance might have blossomed between the Manchu monarch and his Muslim consort." (2015, personal correspondence and added to the paperback copy of the book)

I am an indie author so the publisher is my own imprint, so I have given my own website link rather than Amazon as advised.

Thank you. MelAddey (talk)

You mention a review by Prof Millward. Please provide the full citation for that source (author, title, publication, date, etc., url if available). That serves to demonstrate the notability of your book. Please also write the exact [brief] text that you wish to see added to the list of books. Finally, provide a citation for your book (author, title, publisher, year, etc.) Do not include the Amazon sales link, which would be seen as promotional; link to the publisher.

You can just edit your text above, and the edit toolbar includes a button "cite" which has several "templates" under it. Chose the right templates for the review and your book, and include these as inline citations in the text you'd like to add. Fiske (talk) 23:12, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much for advice. I will edit text, hopefully correctly! MelAddey (talk) 13:34, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

I've edited the reference slightly and added the novel with shortened wording. The Millward review is difficult to include because it appears only in the book itself. Fiske (talk) 17:08, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the addition and your tips along the way, really appreciate it. It's very nice to see it included! Totally understand about the Millward review. MelAddey (talk) 19:43, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
