Article Issues
editAdditional Citations
- This article needs both more citations and for citations already within the article to be more specifically attributed.
- A particularly eggregious section is the Opium wars. Citations for some of the information discussed can be found in the Dennis article but this article could benefit from a diversification of sources.
Article Structure
- The article appears to have been structured around an initial essay arguing for the importance of the silver trade during this time.
- The relevance of the "First paper money" section to this article is questionable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4civil (talk • contribs) 18:01, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
Article Issues
editI've been editing this article for a couple days now and I think I've taken care of all the "issues" posted at the top of the article. However, I don't want to prematurely remove the notice at the top, so it'd be great if someone could review it. Thanks, Lawrence Scafuri (talk) 19:00, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Dutch and British
edit- with 30% of it eventually ending up in China (largely because of Dutch and British merchants who used it to purchase exotic Chinese commodities)
I doubt that, Wasn't it the Spanish and Portuguese? The Dutch and British came later and had less access to silver sources. --Error (talk) 20:35, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
