Instead of trimming articles, split them. The History of China article could be split into, say, four or five articles that cover a specific timeline, i.e. [[History of China: Ming dynasty: 1368-1644]], [[History of China: Reforms 1901-1908]], etc. Think it's possible?

:What I trimmed was material about internal Communist party wrangling, the coverage of which was all out of proportion to every other issue. I don't think anything terribly interesting was lost. It was all about who was up and who was down and what titles they held. We already have a structure in which each of the traditional historic eras gets its own article: [[Qin dynasty]], [[Ming dynasty]], [[Qing dynasty]] and so forth. [[Template:History of China]] holds the story together. My vision is that each era receive a full treatment in the appropriate era article. Each one would also have a section and a summary in [[History of China]]. We're still a long way from that, but I'm getting there slowly. Unlike "History of China," the era articles are all too short. What's missing is an era article for the People's Republic. We could a create a separate article for [[People's Republic of China]], since I already wrote a [[Republic of China]] article to cover the 1912 to 1949 era. Another possibility is [[History of the People's Republic of China]]. Either way, the modern history could be offloaded there. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 08:12, 21 February 2014 (EST)
