Disclaimers

Out of curiosity, what's with the disclaimers on several of the pictures: "In this nianhua created by an anonymous artist who did not view the event, the following alleged event is shown"? If the events are merely alleged, say so in the prose and keep the caption simple. Lord Vetinari 11:06, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting move to Wuwei Rear Troop

Brave=(Chinese:勇)http://www.hengqian.com/html/2010/3-20/a952870515.shtml 清兵背上的“兵”和“勇”的区别

As stated in the info box, the "Kansu Braves" was just a nick name, the official name was Wuwei Rear Troop. There is no reason to use nick name instead of official name as the article title. Arilang ^talk 13:01, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yong(Chinese:勇 English:Braves) was the official name of the local militia, exactly what Muslim Kansu Braves were. After they were official recruited into the Imperial Army as the Wuwei Rear Troop, they then enjoyed the full benefit of the Imperial Army system, including pay and rations. Once they became the Imperial Army, their name would be changed into Bing (Chinese:兵 English:soldiers), they were no longer Yong(Chinese:勇 English:Braves), so the Muslim Kansu Braves is no longer accurate. Wikipedia should not use any name knowing it is an error. Arilang ^talk 02:23, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
