I see User:Lvhis, User:Benlisquare, User:Oda Mari, User:Phoenix7777 etc, etc, etc... and that's from years back.
I can understand the whole naming fight is quite meaningful for some parties, but it's been 3 years (or is it 4?)... come on guys. It's not a nice way to spend the Christmas too!
After a glance through this wall of fighting, the elephant in the room is that it is filled with fighting between Benlisquare, Lvhis, and Phoenix7777. In fact, Phoenix had been trolling in basically every argument he had on this topic over all these years. It seems like he has survived yet another arbitration untouched, which suggests there are incompetent administators involved. He's either got some special immunity or somehow gamed the rules enough to satisfy some self-inflated egos. Either way, they will pay for that decision in the form of future ArbComs, ANI's, and RFC's which will generate tonnes of boring long essays and links that they have to go through (or at least pretend to).
If you guys simply can't resist talking about the Senkaku vs Diaoyu naming dispute, there are tonnes of better-qualified places out there for these kinds of discussion. You are almost guaranteed to be surrounded with competent posters who know basic history, principles of research, number analysis, and critique of sampling if you start a discussion in some popular academic forum in history or policy. Reddit is also a good place to go to since the more informed exchanges tend to get upvoted while the ignorant scraps (like some of what we see here) tend to get hidden due to downvotes.
But anyway, let's just wait for China and Japan to sort this thing out. It's not like the naming of this page will have any meaningful effect on the status and those islands are not even of much interest other than the fact that it's something the two countries are fighting over and something that gets those stubborn nationalist distracted from their own countries' internal problems. 174.89.163.195 ( talk) 05:08, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
People might not like how I view things, but I see the behaviour of both the Chinese and Japanese governments as like small children diagnosed with a certain condition that I won't name -- children who are unable to think outside of the box, unable to consider the other side, have special demands, and will cry forever until they are satisfied -- and I don't see it changing any time soon. I find both governments completely laughable, and this whole thing is becoming futile and pointless, seemingly dragging on and on. Many people might disagree with my opinion, and that's fine. You're you, and I'm me. Those who disagree with my comparison with national governments and a certain medical condition can just pretend I didn't say anything.
As for the earlier RfC, I've always reserved my right to a tit-for-tat method of dealing with things. If someone behaves respectfully towards me, I will reciprocate in full; you can see this yourself, by looking at the dates of each post. At first, I wasn't too concerned about anything, and was one of the first people willing to make compromises (prefering the Japanese name first within ordering, not using Pinnacle, etc), and considered myself the least partisan of the !voters on the two sides. As soon as Phoenix7777 started flinging his trouble over and over, I had no more reason to let this slide. I did things just for the sake of being against him, because I just didn't like him and what he was doing at all, and that's that. I'm no propagandist, and I don't take shit whilst saying pretty nice words like everyone else does. That's not how I do things; I have limited patience like most human beings not trained by government propaganda departments, and I don't partake in honne and tatemae nonsense. I'd never get a job as a government spokesperson due to who I am. I reserve the right to be pissed off when another party is being intentionally disruptive and then has the nerve to cry wolf about it. I don't see why I don't have a right to be pissed off - the first amendment of the US lets me, as does common sense.

There's no problem with the name Senkaku Islands, a name in which I am in favor of. However, the way the name was changed is clearly in violation of NPOV, the basic fundamental principle of Wikipedia. It was changed without permission, without vote, and without consent out of nowhere, and we expect people who read this article to believe that the islands are really the property of Imperial Japan.

Why is Dokdo called the obscure name "Liancourt Rocks" and yet this page is called "Senkaku Islands"? Shouldn't it be called the equally obscure "Pinnacle Islands"? Please apply all principles fairly. Either change this page to "Pinnacle Islands" or change "Liancourt Rocks" to Dokdo.
Considering Japan acknowledged Chinese ownership of the islands prior to annexing the Diaoyu islands and that Japan only has administrative control, the original name of the island should be represented. Wikipedia should not be biased toward US interests. At the moment, anytime someone quotes wikipedia to me I just laugh.....its just as corrupt and propaganda driven as US corporate media.

Furthermore, Japan acknowledged these islands were in dispute with China when their leaders met in 1972.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/stephenharner/2013/02/20/japan-and-u-s-ignored-chinese-signals-and-history-blundering-into-the-senkakudiaoyu-crisis/ The new book on the Senkaku/Diaoyu island crisis by Yabuki Susumu (矢吹晋), professor emeritus of Yokohama City University, one of Japan’s most eminent China scholars. The book (written in Japanese) is entitled:「尖閣問題の核心 」(The Core of the Senkaku Issue), and bears a subtitle:「日中関係はどうなる」 (What is to Become of Japan-China Relations). I believe that the book is the fairest and most objective, as well as the most thorough, exposition of the positions of both Japan and China, and–critically–the U.S., on the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands dispute. At the risk of oversimplifying, I think I can summarize Professor Yabuki’s analysis and conclusions as follows: 1. The Japanese position on the Senkaku/Diaoyu issue is indefensible on several counts, including most fundamentally Japan’s unconditional acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration (which required the return of all territories “stolen” from China). 2. The Meiji government’s annexation of the Ryuku Islands (theretofore an autonomous kingdom) in January 1885, within which the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands were identified, followed three months later by the Qing Dynasty’s surrender of Taiwan and the Pescadores to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki (ending the Sino-Japanese War) are both mooted by the terms of Potsdam. The islands were and are clearly part of Taiwan, which in addition has the most legitimate claim to continuous use/occupation. 3. The Japanese position that Senkaku/Diaoyu is part of Japanese territory because it was awarded to Japan by the U.S. in the Okinawa Reversion agreement of 1971 is similarly contrary to fact. The U.S. awarded to Japan only administrative authority over the islands, not sovereignty. Sovereignty was specifically not transferred. The U.S. continued to maintain was undetermined between the three claimants and would only be determined through discussion and agreement. (As I noted in the last post, the Obama administration–in a monumental blunder–effectively changed this policy by failing to object to and stop Japanese “nationalization.”) 4. Japanese policy–and particularly public misunderstanding–has been based on the false assertion, uttered by then foreign minister Fukuda Takeo in testimony to the Upper House of Diet on December 15, 1971 that Okinawa Reversion had accomplished the restoration of Japanese sovereignty over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands. Whether Fukuda misunderstood the issue, or intended to deliberately deceive the country through this testimony is unclear. 5. The Chinese position on handling the territorial issue was, before Japanese “nationalization,” grounded on the 1972 agreement between Prime Minister Tanaka Kakue-Premier Zhou Enlai, when the terms of Japan-China diplomatic relations were determined, to “shelve” the issue–i.e., to avoid any acts that sought to enforce one side’s claim to sovereignty. 6. Yabuki cites his own research and authoritative third party sources to charge that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs removed from official transcripts of the Tanaka-Zhou discussions that agreement to “shelve” the issue, allowing future Japanese governments to fraudulently claim that the issue was not discussed and that China asserted a claim over the islands. 7. Under the circumstances above, the decision of the Noda government to “nationalize” the islands was a grave provocation, a fundamental change in the status quo, tantamount from the Chinese point of view to aggression and forceful annexation of Chinese territory. An equivalently forceful Chinese response to “balance” the level of its sovereign claim was inevitable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VerdantResources ( talk • contribs) 21:00, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

We will use the name Senkaku Islands, I think that is universal. However, the claims for all sides must be addressed, equally and irrevocably. I will not allow the name of the article to be changed suddenly and deliberately in favor of one or another (ie. imperial Japan) without that being addressed.

Diaoyu Islands, also known as Diaoyutai, Diaoyuyu, fishing mountain, is China's East China Sea Diaoyu Islands Island, the main island, = China's ancient territory since ancient times. It is located at latitude 25 ° 44.6 'north latitude, east longitude 123 ° 28.4', about 358 km from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, about 385 km from Fuzhou, Fujian, about 190 km from Keelung city in Taiwan and about 174,000 square kilometers. Diaoyu Island is about 3641 meters long, 1905 meters wide, an area of about 3.91 square kilometers, the highest elevation of about 362 meters, the terrain is relatively flat in the north, southeast side of the steep rock, the east rock reef quite like a minaret, the central mountains run through things. Diaoyu Island rich in camellia, palm, cactus, sea hibiscus and other precious Chinese herbal medicines, habitat with a large number of seabirds, "Bird Island" reputation. In 1972, when the United States withdrew from Ryukyu, the Diaoyu Islands "administrative jurisdiction" mixed Ryukyu "to" Japan, according to the ancient Chinese history records that China has been on the Diaoyu Islands have territorial rights. Therefore, the Diaoyu Islands dispute also arising from the current Diaoyu Islands and its territorial waters belong to the People's Republic of China, but Japan's actual illegal jurisdiction of the island. September 10, 2012, the Chinese government departments on the Diaoyu Islands and affiliated islands to carry out normal monitoring and monitoring. China's maritime law enforcement vessels in the Diaoyu Islands waters insist on cruising law enforcement, fishery law enforcement vessels in the Diaoyu Islands waters of the normal law enforcement cruise and fishing, to maintain the waters of the normal fishery production order. China also through the release of weather and ocean observations and so on, the Diaoyu Islands and its waters around the implementation of management.
Ancient Chinese ancestors in the operation of the ocean and engaged in the practice of marine fisheries, the earliest discovery of the Diaoyu Islands and to be named. In ancient Chinese literature, the Diaoyu Islands, also known as fishing fish, Diaoyutai, fishing mountain. At present, the earliest records of the Diaoyu Islands, Chiyomei and other places of history, is a book in 1403 (Ming Yongle first year) of the "quiet delivery." [3] 1171 years (the Southern Song Dynasty seven years), guarding the general of Fujian Wang Dayou in Penghu to establish a barracks, sent to the suburbs of the island, including Taiwan and its Diaoyu Islands, including the subordinate islands in the military under the jurisdiction of Penghu, administrative Quanzhou, Fujian Jinjiang management The 1372 (Ming Hongwu five years), Ming Taizu sent to Ryukyu, Ryukyu King to the Ming Dynasty tribute. To 1866 (Qing Tongzhi five years) nearly 500 years, the Ming and Qing dynasties court has sent 24 envoys to the Ryukyu Kingdom royalties, Diaoyu Islands is the canonization to the Ryukyu through the way, the Diaoyu Islands records appear in the Chinese envoy Written in the report. [3] Jiajing eleven years (1532), Ming Chen Kan "so that Ryukyu recorded" in the Diaoyu Islands called Diaoyu Island, has been within the waters of our country. [4] 1561 (Ming Jiajing forty years), the Ming Dynasty garrison in the southeast coast of the highest generals Hu Zongxian presided over, Zheng Ruo has compiled the "sea map series," a book, clearly the Diaoyu Islands and other islands into the "coastal mountain sand map" into the Ming Dynasty Of the sea defense range. [3] 1605 years (Ming Wanli thirty-three years) Xu Bida and others painted the "heaven and earth unified coastal defense map" and 1621 (the first day of tomorrow Kai) Mao Yuan-yi drawn the map of "China's coastal defense map" , Will also be the island of the Diaoyu Islands into China within the sea. [3] The Qing Dynasty not only followed the practice of the Ming Dynasty, continue to be the Diaoyu Islands and other islands included in the scope of China's coastal defense, clearly placed in the administrative authority of the local government in Taiwan. Qing Dynasty, "Taiwan Fu Zhi" and Huang Shu Jing prepared by the "Taiwan Sea to Chang recorded" and other official documents detailed records of the Diaoyu Islands jurisdiction. [3] 1708 Ryukyu scholar Cheng Shun in the "Guide to the broad sense," a book will clearly record the Diaoyutai, Huangwei Island, red tail Island, and said the rice meters (Kumi Island) as "Ryukyu southwest on the town of mountain." In 1719, went to the Ryukyu Qing Dynasty canonization to Xu Baoguang in the "Zhongshan Biography" pointed out that the sea route is: by the town of Fujian five tiger door, take the chicken head, the vase, Peng Jiashan, Diaoyutai, Chrysanthemum Island, take the meter mountain, horse teeth island, into the Ryukyu Naha port. In 1762, the Portuguese "sailing needle map", clearly marked the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands belong to Taiwan. [3] In 1786, the Japanese Sendai fan Lin Zhiping production of the "Three Kingdoms", "Ryukyu country map" listed Diaoyu Islands, and indicate the channel to China to Ryukyu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.234.17.186 ( talk) 04:32, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
It seems to me that there is a bias if the islands are called "Senkaku Islands" in the title instead of something like "Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.242.151.1 ( talk) 16:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC) I agree, and thought the same thing, exactly. Especially after reading the content of the page, and the length of time that each had any control, and that Japan was told to give up islands except their main islands, by the allies, after world war two. Then it seems the chinese claim is the correct one. And I came to the talk page to wonder what has been written here, and I see it is so clear that anyone immediately would think the same, when the name of the page supports the japanese claim, yet the content seems to make it clear the chinese claim is the true one. And the japanese one was only based on wrong actions to begin with. So it couldn't be accepted as justice in international law. As for the comment below about naming the islands in english. What? The claims are by china/taiwan, and japan. Where does english come into it at all? Europe and north america, do not rule the world and should not. Imperialism of powers from far away, over other countries is injustice.
For disputed place names, the principle of neutrality should be followed and the name should be displayed side by side, such as “Diaoyu Islands/Senkaku Islands”. Crablking ( talk) 08:32, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

In the article it is written: "Permission for collecting herbs on three of the islands was recorded in an Imperial Chinese edict of 1893." I thought this was an important fact concerning the islands, however untill I found an analysis in a paper of Han-yi Shaw, THE DIAOYUTAI/SENKAKU ISLANDS· DISPUTE: ITS HISTORY AND AN ANALYSIS OF THE OWNERSHIP CLAIMS OF THE P.R.C., R.O.C., AND JAPAN. p.62. Excerpt: "Perhaps it may be also suggested that while the imperial edict per se is not a genuine one and was possibly used merely as a commercial advertisement for Sheng's pharmaceutical house, evidently it was "fabricated" based on the common understanding of the Chinese public that the islands were Chinese territory [...]" Therefore I suggest that questions about the authenticity of the edict schould be mentioned in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.176.241.107 ( talk) 21:18, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

The Japanese position on the Senkaku/Diaoyu issue is indefensible on several counts, including most fundamentally Japan’s unconditional acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration (which required the return of all territories “stolen” from China). 2. The Meiji government’s annexation of the Ryuku Islands (theretofore an autonomous kingdom) in January 1885, within which the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands were identified, followed three months later by the Qing Dynasty’s surrender of Taiwan and the Pescadores to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki (ending the Sino-Japanese War) are both mooted by the terms of Potsdam. The islands were and are clearly part of Taiwan, which in addition has the most legitimate claim to continuous use/occupation. 3. The Japanese position that Senkaku/Diaoyu is part of Japanese territory because it was awarded to Japan by the U.S. in the Okinawa Reversion agreement of 1971 is similarly contrary to fact. The U.S. awarded to Japan only administrative authority over the islands, not sovereignty. Sovereignty was specifically not transferred. The U.S. continued to maintain was undetermined between the three claimants and would only be determined through discussion and agreement. (As I noted in the last post, the Obama administration–in a monumental blunder–effectively changed this policy by failing to object to and stop Japanese “nationalization.”) 4. Japanese policy–and particularly public misunderstanding–has been based on the false assertion, uttered by then foreign minister Fukuda Takeo in testimony to the Upper House of Diet on December 15, 1971 that Okinawa Reversion had accomplished the restoration of Japanese sovereignty over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands. Whether Fukuda misunderstood the issue, or intended to deliberately deceive the country through this testimony is unclear. 5. The Chinese position on handling the territorial issue was, before Japanese “nationalization,” grounded on the 1972 agreement between Prime Minister Tanaka Kakue-Premier Zhou Enlai, when the terms of Japan-China diplomatic relations were determined, to “shelve” the issue–i.e., to avoid any acts that sought to enforce one side’s claim to sovereignty. 6. Yabuki cites his own research and authoritative third party sources to charge that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs removed from official transcripts of the Tanaka-Zhou discussions that agreement to “shelve” the issue, allowing future Japanese governments to fraudulently claim that the issue was not discussed and that China asserted a claim over the islands. 7. Under the circumstances above, the decision of the Noda government to “nationalize” the islands was a grave provocation, a fundamental change in the status quo, tantamount from the Chinese point of view to aggression and forceful annexation of Chinese territory. An equivalently forceful Chinese response to “balance” the level of its sovereign claim was inevitable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VerdantResources ( talk • contribs) 21:00, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
I know this font is very popular when there are Latin letters in Chinese text, but it looks very odd even in Chinese. The pinyin should be displayed in the same font as most of the article. -- 2.245.105.0 ( talk) 00:08, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
We will use the name Senkaku Islands, I think that is universal. However, the claims for all sides must be addressed, equally and irrevocably. I will not allow the name of the article to be changed suddenly and deliberately in favor of one or another (ie. imperial Japan) without that being addressed.

With China(PRC) named 71 islands in Diaoyu/Senkaku, I suppose that mean there are at least 71 islands there (instead of 8 islands + 5 rocdks as mentioend in the article)? C933103 ( talk) 04:15, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Would it be possible in the sovereignty section to add a link to the country of Japan, not just the governing body/country of China and Taiwan? There are very CLEAR links to Wikipedia articles on "The Peoples Republic of China" and "Taiwan" followed abruptly by "Japan" with no hyperlink to the article on Japan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Submarinevet ( talk • contribs) 22:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Diaoyu Islands, also known as Diaoyutai, Diaoyuyu, fishing mountain, is China's East China Sea Diaoyu Islands Island, the main island, = China's ancient territory since ancient times. It is located at latitude 25 ° 44.6 'north latitude, east longitude 123 ° 28.4', about 358 km from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, about 385 km from Fuzhou, Fujian, about 190 km from Keelung city in Taiwan and about 174,000 square kilometers. Diaoyu Island is about 3641 meters long, 1905 meters wide, an area of about 3.91 square kilometers, the highest elevation of about 362 meters, the terrain is relatively flat in the north, southeast side of the steep rock, the east rock reef quite like a minaret, the central mountains run through things. Diaoyu Island rich in camellia, palm, cactus, sea hibiscus and other precious Chinese herbal medicines, habitat with a large number of seabirds, "Bird Island" reputation. In 1972, when the United States withdrew from Ryukyu, the Diaoyu Islands "administrative jurisdiction" mixed Ryukyu "to" Japan, according to the ancient Chinese history records that China has been on the Diaoyu Islands have territorial rights. Therefore, the Diaoyu Islands dispute also arising from the current Diaoyu Islands and its territorial waters belong to the People's Republic of China, but Japan's actual illegal jurisdiction of the island. September 10, 2012, the Chinese government departments on the Diaoyu Islands and affiliated islands to carry out normal monitoring and monitoring. China's maritime law enforcement vessels in the Diaoyu Islands waters insist on cruising law enforcement, fishery law enforcement vessels in the Diaoyu Islands waters of the normal law enforcement cruise and fishing, to maintain the waters of the normal fishery production order. China also through the release of weather and ocean observations and so on, the Diaoyu Islands and its waters around the implementation of management.
Ancient Chinese ancestors in the operation of the ocean and engaged in the practice of marine fisheries, the earliest discovery of the Diaoyu Islands and to be named. In ancient Chinese literature, the Diaoyu Islands, also known as fishing fish, Diaoyutai, fishing mountain. At present, the earliest records of the Diaoyu Islands, Chiyomei and other places of history, is a book in 1403 (Ming Yongle first year) of the "quiet delivery." [3] 1171 years (the Southern Song Dynasty seven years), guarding the general of Fujian Wang Dayou in Penghu to establish a barracks, sent to the suburbs of the island, including Taiwan and its Diaoyu Islands, including the subordinate islands in the military under the jurisdiction of Penghu, administrative Quanzhou, Fujian Jinjiang management The 1372 (Ming Hongwu five years), Ming Taizu sent to Ryukyu, Ryukyu King to the Ming Dynasty tribute. To 1866 (Qing Tongzhi five years) nearly 500 years, the Ming and Qing dynasties court has sent 24 envoys to the Ryukyu Kingdom royalties, Diaoyu Islands is the canonization to the Ryukyu through the way, the Diaoyu Islands records appear in the Chinese envoy Written in the report. [3] Jiajing eleven years (1532), Ming Chen Kan "so that Ryukyu recorded" in the Diaoyu Islands called Diaoyu Island, has been within the waters of our country. [4] 1561 (Ming Jiajing forty years), the Ming Dynasty garrison in the southeast coast of the highest generals Hu Zongxian presided over, Zheng Ruo has compiled the "sea map series," a book, clearly the Diaoyu Islands and other islands into the "coastal mountain sand map" into the Ming Dynasty Of the sea defense range. [3] 1605 years (Ming Wanli thirty-three years) Xu Bida and others painted the "heaven and earth unified coastal defense map" and 1621 (the first day of tomorrow Kai) Mao Yuan-yi drawn the map of "China's coastal defense map" , Will also be the island of the Diaoyu Islands into China within the sea. [3] The Qing Dynasty not only followed the practice of the Ming Dynasty, continue to be the Diaoyu Islands and other islands included in the scope of China's coastal defense, clearly placed in the administrative authority of the local government in Taiwan. Qing Dynasty, "Taiwan Fu Zhi" and Huang Shu Jing prepared by the "Taiwan Sea to Chang recorded" and other official documents detailed records of the Diaoyu Islands jurisdiction. [3] 1708 Ryukyu scholar Cheng Shun in the "Guide to the broad sense," a book will clearly record the Diaoyutai, Huangwei Island, red tail Island, and said the rice meters (Kumi Island) as "Ryukyu southwest on the town of mountain." In 1719, went to the Ryukyu Qing Dynasty canonization to Xu Baoguang in the "Zhongshan Biography" pointed out that the sea route is: by the town of Fujian five tiger door, take the chicken head, the vase, Peng Jiashan, Diaoyutai, Chrysanthemum Island, take the meter mountain, horse teeth island, into the Ryukyu Naha port. In 1762, the Portuguese "sailing needle map", clearly marked the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands belong to Taiwan. [3] In 1786, the Japanese Sendai fan Lin Zhiping production of the "Three Kingdoms", "Ryukyu country map" listed Diaoyu Islands, and indicate the channel to China to Ryukyu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.234.17.186 ( talk) 04:32, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
It seems to me that there is a bias if the islands are called "Senkaku Islands" in the title instead of something like "Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.242.151.1 ( talk) 16:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC) I agree, and thought the same thing, exactly. Especially after reading the content of the page, and the length of time that each had any control, and that Japan was told to give up islands except their main islands, by the allies, after world war two. Then it seems the chinese claim is the correct one. And I came to the talk page to wonder what has been written here, and I see it is so clear that anyone immediately would think the same, when the name of the page supports the japanese claim, yet the content seems to make it clear the chinese claim is the true one. And the japanese one was only based on wrong actions to begin with. So it couldn't be accepted as justice in international law. As for the comment below about naming the islands in english. What? The claims are by china/taiwan, and japan. Where does english come into it at all? Europe and north america, do not rule the world and should not. Imperialism of powers from far away, over other countries is injustice.
For disputed place names, the principle of neutrality should be followed and the name should be displayed side by side, such as “Diaoyu Islands/Senkaku Islands”. Crablking ( talk) 08:32, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

In the article it is written: "Permission for collecting herbs on three of the islands was recorded in an Imperial Chinese edict of 1893." I thought this was an important fact concerning the islands, however untill I found an analysis in a paper of Han-yi Shaw, THE DIAOYUTAI/SENKAKU ISLANDS· DISPUTE: ITS HISTORY AND AN ANALYSIS OF THE OWNERSHIP CLAIMS OF THE P.R.C., R.O.C., AND JAPAN. p.62. Excerpt: "Perhaps it may be also suggested that while the imperial edict per se is not a genuine one and was possibly used merely as a commercial advertisement for Sheng's pharmaceutical house, evidently it was "fabricated" based on the common understanding of the Chinese public that the islands were Chinese territory [...]" Therefore I suggest that questions about the authenticity of the edict schould be mentioned in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.176.241.107 ( talk) 21:18, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
