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

@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]

Religion section incomplete information

I am very familiar with the history of Protestant missions in Chengdu. I'm currently writing a book on the subject. The section with the subtitle "Religion" describes only the events of the Canadian Methodist Mission, and does not consider the other missions that were there before the CMM. The China Inland Mission (1877), the American Methodists (1882), London Missionary Society (1888), British Friends (1889), American Baptists (1890) and the British Church Missionary Society (1891) were all established in Sichuan before the CMM. I don't know off hand the dates when several of these put down roots in Chengdu, but certainly this question should be considered before claiming that the CMM was the first to do anything. I do know that the American Methodists had built a hospital in Chengdu before the CMM built theirs. If I have time, I will attempt to address this issue, but first I'm reaching out in hopes that the author will attempt to correct the facts in their work.
