I haven't made any edits to any of these articles, but as per
Template:Song Dynasty topics, it looks like this could be a featured topic, and one of the most important ones, should it pass. Apologies if I have messed something up. Much congratulations to
PericlesofAthens for all of his work on this topic.

I'd love to bring that up to featured list, but really, there's not much I can do to spice it up besides adding pictures of the emperors' portrait paintings from the Song era. Do you have any suggestions besides that? If so, I'd love to improve it, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that besides adding their painted portraits.--Pericles of AthensTalk16:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Ok. Only one problem, though. The books I own on Chinese history, even a couple specifically about the Song Dynasty, unfortunately do not cover the naming conventions of Song rulers. I'd need to find a credible scholarly source to back the information up first, and I don't know how long something like that will take. I will look at journal articles found at JSTOR for the moment, but I have a feeling they are not going to be of much help, since I believe I've looked at most available JSTOR journal articles that focus on Song Dynasty topics.--Pericles of AthensTalk03:30, 7 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Comment [Tumbleweed rolls by, old shutters flap in the wind, silence, ghost town] Thanks Danaman, but it's been pretty darn quiet over yonder in the featured topics candidate page. What in high hootin tarnation is going on here? Lol. :P No responses in the last five days. Unacceptable! Hah--Pericles of AthensTalk23:02, 13 September 2007 (UTC)reply
I'd love to, I just don't have any sources, nor can I locate any sources that cover the full naming conventions of Song rulers. I've looked through JSTOR and other databases, and I cannot find them. My university library isn't helpful either, in terms of covering biographies of Song rulers or even listing all of their naming conventions (many authors covering the Song period probably thought that was too tedious). There's a lot of stuff on that list that needs citations and sources, and I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. Maybe someone else can. I created the article, but I did not create any of the material in it; it was once part of the main Song Dynasty article, located previously at the bottom of the page before I took it out and gave the list its own separate article. Maybe I can track down the wiki member who first created the material and ask him how he found those naming conventions.--Pericles of AthensTalk21:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Thanks Danaman. This site is good in order to distinguish what some posthumous and other titles mean, translated into English. Unfortunately, it does not help us in determining or verifying which specific names belonged to each Song ruler, because it does not provide any sort of list for Song rulers and their exact naming conventions.--Pericles of AthensTalk17:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Unfortunately, I have not heard from Ktsquare in the past 4 days since I left a message on his talk page. Looking at his contributions, he comes onto wikipedia sporadically, and I don't know how much help he will be, despite the fact that he is the original creator of all the information in the
List of Song Emperors article.--Pericles of AthensTalk00:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Promote - I don't think that the absence of the list of emperors will change many support votes, so I'll promote this and put a notice about the future inclusion of the list on the topic's talk page. --
