[edit] NPOV problems
Also, if you think that there are NPOV problems with the page, please discuss them. I have no idea what the problem with the page is.
It would really help if you at least mention your objections. I have no idea what they are....
This article is total garbage, similar to the Breanna, North Carolina and BethpageHillBrier crap that appeared on here earlier. There is no Guangdong and the Chinese race is not "superior".
- If there's no such thing as Guangdong, how come it gets 502,000 hits on Google [1]? Wondering simply, -- Infrogmation 05:32 24 May 2003 (UTC)
1) I don't see anywhere in the article where it implies the Chinese race is superior
2) What do you mean there is no Guangdong? The province exists, and I'm not aware of any naming/boundary controversy regarding it.

- What scares me about Wiki is this heavy dependence on Google. Google is not the beeall and endall of human knowledge!
- I'm actually fascinated by your assertion that there is no Guangdong. Are you asserting that the province is a figment of people's imaginations or do you have a political ax to grind? I don't know of any political controversies regarding Guangdong.
- If you don't explain your objections in enough detail for people to understand what they are, then you are a troll, and I will ignore you.
[edit] Yue
I guess that legendary ethnicity was called 越 rather than 粵. Gonna check that out. --Yacht 18:01, Mar 2, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Guangdong's population
The 30 million extra population was a recent release (well, around a month ago) by the provincial people's government of Guangdong, by adding the number of non-locals (people from other provinces) residing in the province. — Instantnood 10:53 Mar 1 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, can you add it in the demographics section? Something along the lines of: "millions of migrant workers, though not counted in the official statistics, are now living and working in Guangdong... if these statistics are added, then Guangdong is the most populous province of China..." etc. Right now I think it's better to keep an official statistic given out by the national government statistics bureau in the infobox, just like all other provinces. -- ran (talk) 16:57, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- I've added it. Thanks for alerting me to this very interesting development, btw. ;) -- ran (talk) 18:42, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
This report by TDM talks about it. I'm looking on the web for more related reports. :-P [3] — Instantnood 21:39 Mar 1 2005 (UTC)
I've been on the Guangdong government statistics website, and they seem to give the figure of 80 million for population, local and migrant included, in their report for 2004? ([4]) :| This seems way off from the latest figure of 110 million. Does anyone know what is going on? -- ran (talk) 05:46, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
- According to TDM, the statistics seems like hadn't been released. Should be from the mouths of officials. — Instantnood 10:59 Mar 2 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
(deleted what essentially amounted to somebody advertising their own translation/interpretation/tour guide services in the province. This isn't the place for ads, folks.) -MattShepherd
[edit] Vietnamese
Why is Vietnamese listed for Guangdong? Vietnamese isn't an official language of the province, nor are there any statistically significant number of Vietnamese in the province, nor has Guangdong ever been part of Vietnam, nor does Vietnam have territorial claims on Guangdong. --Yuje 18:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- I guess the Gin people are in present-day Guangxi, aren't they? — Instantnood 20:28, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
