Sources for article expansion

edit

This article in the Daily Mail is obviously a silly ref for a proper historical article, but does flesh in quite a bit of the last days of the Jianwen Emperor. Surely some of the names or stories could be used to find sources to include the information? — LlywelynII 09:43, 12 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Status of the Prince of Fu's temple name

edit

I cleaned up some text reporting that

The Prince of Fu, self-proclaimed emperor of the Southern Ming, granted him the temple name Huizong (惠宗) in 1644, but this name is not generally remembered or accepted in the official Chinese histories.

and – in the absence of my own source – left it unchallenged, but (a) it's unsourced and (b) the Chinese version of this page uses precisely that temple name as its main heading. Is that owing to some odd and POVy policy over there? or is this claim just wrong? — LlywelynII 04:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
