Unsourced material

There is a large amount of unsourced material on this page that has been there for a long time. I would be grateful for guidance on whether it's best to try to find sources for what is here (a huge job!), or simply remove unsourced material and effectively start over on many of the sections.

Agreed, this article is way too cluttered with irrelevant information that could be split into separate articles (if they are even true). This whole article smells of a Baike Baidu article; unsourced and with no regulation to what is included. I wouldn't be surprised if most of this article is just a translation of the one on there.

Standard Chinese pronunciation

Wikipedia and Wiktionary seem to list two conflicting pronunciations, [ʈʂʰə̌ŋtú] (here) vs. /ʈ͡ʂʰɤŋ³⁵ tu⁵⁵/ (Wiktionary). After listening to the sound sample, I'm wondering if the [ə] is correct, as it doesn't sound like that to my (untrained) ear, or if it's actually [ɤ]. Bfx0 (talk) 18:28, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ctuctu777 There seems to be a content dispute with a newly registered editor with various accounts with similar names and IPs. Firstly, your accusations of "malicious editing" is absolutely ridiculous and a violation of WP:ASSUMEGOODFAITH. Keep this up and I'll open a thread at WP:ANI for administrator attention. Secondly, your version is simply not an improvement, as the media I added to the article were in fact much more recent than the previous versions, whilst showing a better view of the subjects. Many images were in sections irrelevant to the image so I also fixed that. Pertaining to the gallery section which I assume is what you are referring to when you mentioned "deleting content", there is absolutely no need for 5+ images of random malls (especially multiple images of Taikoo Li) when there are many other historical landmarks in the city with greater historical significance that can be shown. Thus, your reverts are not constructive and throwing WP:BADFAITH accusations on top of that is absolutely ridiculous. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 07:09, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
