Why is the first word of the article spelled "Shangdong" instead of "Shandong"? Badagnani 03:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Answer:The chinese name of "ShandongProvice" is "山东省" which spells as "Shan Dong Sheng"(113) in chinese. "Shangdong" is a wrong spelling. [Joshny] 20061012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.80.186.34 ( talk • contribs) 06:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there any district called 黃縣 in Shandong? I could not find 黃縣 in the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.43.180.224 ( talk • contribs) 08:06, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

This article mentions the "Taishan Mountains", but references Mt. Tai. On Google, I found many instances of "Taishan Mountains", but they all seem to be talking about "Mt. Tai", not a range of mountains. Should "Taishan Mountains" be changed to "Mt. Tai"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wakablogger~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 20:58, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
"Taishan" is the romanization of the Chinese characters “泰山”. The character "shan" means mountain, so a literal English translation would be "Mt. Tai", while "Taishan Mountain" would imply "Mt. Tai Mountain". The Wikipedia article on "Taishan" is titled "Mount Tai". I recommend referring to it was "Mt. Tai (Taishan)" in the first occurrence of the name and then linking it to the page on "Mount Tai". Davidyz ( talk) 17:47, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Was Shandong controlled by the Reformed Government of the Republic of China or the Provisional Government of the Republic of China? Oberiko ( talk) 18:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Many and perhaps all of the old revisions from
18 January 2005 thru
1 May 2005 are displayed as blank, despite far too many edits, and far too many credible edit summaries to the contrary, for that to be accurate. If this is seen by someone who can state that there is a known problem that this should be assumed to be an instance of, please do so here. If the condition continues and is not so explained, the matter should be raised at
VPT.

Am I right to suggest that the Shangdong Province (singlehandedly) produces more garlic that the rest of this world? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.134.28.194 ( talk) 12:09, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
you are not right to suggest it —Preceding

It is incorrect. Although garlic is popular,it is produced less than other related items such as corn or rice — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.56.26 ( talk) 20:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Garlic production in China links here yet this article doesn't even touch on garlic production. Something needs to be done.

I have added in text. One could say that Shandong can be translated practically into "East of the mountains". However, "East Mountain" is just as correct. It is located in the Far east of China, and is well known for its numerous mountains — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.56.26 ( talk) 20:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
On reflection, east of the mountains does not make complete sense, however, I have left it in — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.56.26 ( talk • contribs) 20:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
WOuld like to suggest a possible alteration of a point in this section. It states that "In recent years Shandong, especially eastern Shandong, has enjoyed significant economic development, becoming one of the richest provinces of the People's Republic of China" . East Shandong covers a large area and there are still large areas of poverty. I am from Eastern Shandong, and would argue that the majority of people have not seen a drastic rise in their fortunes, either in their pocket or on a larger scales. There are a lot of farmers, and many people would have a monthly salary which would be lower than the Chinese average. Although there has been a sharp rise in infrastructure, quality of roads et etc, the lives of most citizens remain largely unchanged. I was there recently, and the fundamentals were mainly the same as they were when I left 8 years ago.
Although I would agree that some parts of Eastern Shandong, and some people have experienced a booom, the fact that most still struggle to make a living supports the argument that the statement I highlighted is incorrect
Would like peer agreement either way — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.56.26 ( talk) 20:55, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
There's a type of silk fabric called Shantung, and Shantung currently redirects here. There should probably be a redirect. Audiosqueegee ( talk) 02:27, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
The article mentions " Taishan Mountains, Lushan Mountains, and Mengshan Mountains" but each of these appears to be a single mountain, not multiple mountains. Googling for Lushan Mountains results in pages talking about Mount Lushan and the same with Mengshan Mountains. ChangMei ( talk) 21:05, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Do we have to list every high school and university in a bullet format? I am all for bullet points, but I think it is not suitable for an encyclopedia. I would like to take the university names and write something about them in a paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cleverwater ( talk • contribs) 06:20, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
@ Poutine99: I do not understand the sources where you are getting where Jinan is the largest city in Shandong. If we look at the China Urban Construction Statistical Yearbook 2017 Urban Population and Urban Temporary Population, which in Wikipedia is represented by the Template:Most populous cities in the People's Republic of China shows Qingdao on top of Jinan, with a population of 4,458,300 compared to Jinan's 4,040,000. If we want to compare through their infoboxes of the respective articles, Jinan's urban population is 4,693,700 while Qingdao's urban population is 5,930,000. If you want to talk about metropolitan areas, then maybe Jinan has some leverage over Qingdao, but we are not talking about the metropolitan area but the city itself.
