[edit] WP:MilHist Assessment

Good length and level of detail. Now it just needs organization, pictures, an infobox, and references. LordAmeth 16:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh?

How did this manage to kill 36 million people? This article needs a few more details perhaps Woscafrench 22:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative Historical Perspectives

This article seems to have a bias when compared with a recorded lecture I’ve listened to as well as to the page on An_Lushan. In “From Yao to Mao, 5,000 years of Chinese history[3]” Kenneth Hammond takes the position that the Confucian historians where strongly opposed to the power emperor Tang Xuanzhong gave to An Lushan who was not Chinese. Also, the historians treated Yang Guifei unfairly because the emperor consulted her on matters of state.

I can think of 3 points which would be useful to resolve:

• An Lushan wasn’t just non-Han Chinese, he was Turkish.
• There is no evidence An Lushan was planning rebellion before he was ordered to the capitol.
• An Lushan had reason to believe if went to the capitol he would be unjustly executed.

I intend write a polite letter to Prof. Hammond asking where I could find the sources he used. Once I read the sources I hope update the article giving credence to both Historical perspectives. --Pstaight 09:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
