Would rather you disregard the fact that the vast majority of the links here have no articles, and instead consider this list and the others as a starting point to sow the seeds of better coverage on China-related topics. Also, the comments here will apply to List of township-level divisions of Liaoning and List of township-level divisions of Jilin, which are both complete and of comparable quality. Hopefully a review done here can be applied to those two lists.

Otherwise, the initial review of all three (or one) should be a quick task to execute.

These lists are crucial for building a better coverage of China on here. Townships and Towns are very notable.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:38, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ruhrfisch comments: Thanks for you work on these lists. At first I was not sure how to improve or change the article, but the more I thought about it, I eventually came up with some suggestions for improvement.

I would mention the 11 prefectures in the lead.
WP:HEAD says in part Headings should not normally contain links, especially where only part of a heading is linked
I think I would try to have a brief introduction for each prefecture level section - the reference link could be there too. Maybe a sentence or two on the prefecture - where is it, what is it known for, perhaps the rough poulation? Or also summarize the section there - so something like "Shijiazhuang has 23 county level districts..."
I like the map for each section - could there be a few pictures for each too?
Why is there an External links section when there are none?
This is more related to possible future expansion, but it seems to me that if you want to do anything beyond the current format, this will be too impossibly big and will need to be split up. So this article already has 2195 township levle divisions listed in it. There is no way it could become a sortable list with coordinates and population and area (or whatever) listed for each - it already takes a fairly long time to load.
So I was thinking that list of townships in the US by state are not this detailed either - they have to be lists at the county level to have any detail. I know I am one of the two main authors on the FL List of municipalities in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, which may be a model for eventual sub-lists. Iam not sure what kind of data is avaialble.
I also wondered if there were any sources besides xzqh.org available? Seems odd to use the same source for all of these - are there books, for example?
Not much else that I could think of - hope this helps. I will keep mulling this over and if anything else comes to mind will post it here or on the talk page.
