This is a great article, but could do with a picture of this spectacular region. Anyone have anything suitable? Coyote-37 11:24, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

The Athenian speechwriter, Isocrates, who was a contemporary of Socrates, espoused that "the word 'Greek' is not so much a term of birth as it is of mentality, and is applied to a common culture rather than of common descent." Likewise, the modern Greek poet and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1979, Odysseas Elytis, said that, "To be Greek means to feel and react in a certain way, nothing else; whether one is young or old, born here or there."
Yunanistan is the word that is used in the Islamic and Asiatic world for ¨Greece¨. It comes from the words ¨Yunan¨ for Greek and the Islamic epithem ¨-stan¨ for country, just like on anglosaxonic and germanic languages we hear the word ¨-land¨ at the end of each nation´s name. 58.165.183.114 ( talk) 03:51, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
In the Southwest region of China, lays today the province of ¨Yunnan¨ where german archaeological missions brought to light 12 ancient hellenic cities. The name ¨China¨ is an alternate of the french ¨Chine¨ (pronounced ¨Sine¨) from the latin ¨Sinae¨, a loan from the term ¨Sínis¨ (Σίνης), a word the Greeks gave to the Chinese when units from Alexander´s army were dismissed and settled on the Yunnan province. Sinis means ¨distractor, annihilator, thief, robber, baneful, looter¨ and comes from the historical figure of ¨Sinis the Pityokamptis¨ (Σίνης ο Πιτυοκάμπτης). ₪ 58.165.183.114 ( talk) 03:58, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
I've noticed that there are references to two foreign explorers at the bottom of the history section, but some of the most important ones like Joseph Rock are not present. We should add him, as well as a few others like Peter Goulart.
We should actually create a new section for this altogether. There are some other interesting things that might need their own subtopics, like info about how the camellia, azalea and rhododendron all made their way into Western gardens from Yunnan. Xiefeilaga 05:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Yunnan has a great biodiversity, and so contains a large number of animals. Some of them are flagship species of conservation due to their might and beauty. For ex: The 1.5 ton gaur 1 and the tiger [links removed] --- J.S ( T/ C/ WRE) 17:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC))

Was the region buddhist before the cultural revolution? I could not find anything in the article about the religeous traditions in the region? Billlion ( talk)
I think in separate parts of the article the total number of discrete plant species is variously given as 17,000, 18,000, and 15,000. Obviously they are not grossly disparate but it would be better if one of the figures was identified as the currently most authoritative. Historian932 ( talk) 04:45, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't we space those images out a bit better? There are a series that are all bunched up. I hope no one minds if I move them around and space 'em out. Please note. The Sound and the Fury ( talk) 04:22, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Per WP:MOS-ZH, the policy is to remove the foreign translations from the lead sentence when the Chinese text and pinyin appear in an infobox. Kindly don't restore it pending a new consensus there.
For what it's worth, I completely agree: here, we have the same Chinese characters written at least three times. There is absolutely nothing gained (except lack of clarity) by including the 汉字 a fourth time in the first sentence. — LlywelynII 22:34, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

The following is a discussion between myself and another editor. It took place on his/her talk page, but I really think it ended up being more appropriate to this page, as this is where changes to the article should be discussed. Despite the serious tone in the opening of the comments, I harbor no ill will and hope that is true of the other editor as well. The important thing is that all parties want the article to be accurate. Un sch ool 06:58, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
You left the following message on my talk page:
I have been a Wikipedia editor for over thirteen years, and have never been accused of deliberately introducing "incorrect information". While you may disagree with my edit (sources differ on whether Yunnan is more correctly described as "southwest" or "south central" China, and this disagreement is a sincere one), your disagreement does not make my edit vandalism. Indeed, from a purely geographical standpoint, it is clear that "south central" is more accurate than "southwest", but I recognize that there are historical reasons for the widespread use of "southwest" to describe its location. So to be clear, you have erred in falsely accusing me of vandalism. If you cannot tell the difference between vandalism and a reasonable edit with a clearly explained edit summary, then perhaps we need to take this difference of views to a third party for some intervention. As to the matter of the edit in question, had the edit merely been reverted, I would have been unaffected. I do not have strong feelings about this matter, and in fact, have learned that many see the matter differently than I do. I may, when I have more time, investigate the matter further, but I just cannot do that right now. My solitary objection at this time is to your slanderous accusations of vandalism, and it is on that matter alone that I am considering further action. The tone of your response will be the primary factor determining my next steps. Un sch ool 03:57, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
