something else (such as textbooks and other resources during the period) afterwards, I also forgot such things for a while, which is certainly a pity (I am sorry about this too). In any event, I have a digital copy of the book "中外舊約章彙編" (which may be found online), which lists some 500 treaties and contracts etc signed by the Qing dynasty (between 1689 and 1911/1912) and some 600 treaties and contracts etc signed by the ROC (between 1912 and 1949), with exact dates for most of them, but the main problem is of course that the names (and the contents) of the treaties are only shown in the Chinese language in the book, without the corresponding English names. Another problem is that the list is still not truly complete. For example, the book never lists the 1739 treaty signed between Qing and the Dzungar Khanate, as well as the 1842 Treaty of Chushul following the Dogra-Tibetan war (even though the treaty did appear to have reference to "Emperor of China"). It would be great if there is a book that does not have the above-mentioned issues. But in any case, I think we can expand the list according to the information we can find, listing both English and Chinese names whenever possible, and move the article to the mainspace. Thanks again for the work you have done! --

There are currently no other lists of treaties of China on Knowledge that cover different date ranges, so the current title may be more precise than necessary. The current list has two sections, covering the Qing dynasty and the pre-1949 Republic of China. The last item in the list is from 1947, not 1949. Date ranges should not use hyphens. —⁠ ⁠ 593:
column that (auto-)numbers the treaties, it is mainly intended to show to readers that how many treaties are currently included in the list, and the column itself takes only very little space so I doubt that removing it will significantly widen the other columns (unlike merging the "Status" and "Note" columns mentioned earlier). Thus I have left the first column as is for now, although it may be easily removed later on if deemed necessary.

After all, I think only relatively few English readers are indeed interested in knowing the exact government or dynasty that signed treaties with China, and there is

I would be glad for your generously offered help! When I drafted the article, I had more ambition than time, and this is still the case. I'm sorry to have abandoned it, and even more sorry that at the moment I can't find where the information came from (I must have copied it from someplace). It would

Even more thanks! I can see only a few more things to recommend. I'm not sure that the treaties need to be numbered, and removing the first column would make the other columns wider. Likewise, it seems that the text in the "Status" column could be moved to the "Note" column, which in almost every

Thank again for the feedback. I certainly agree that the "Status" and "Note" columns can be merged altogether, and this will significantly widen the other columns. Indeed, with just this change it appears that each treaty now appears in exactly one row, at least on my computer. As for the first

Thanks for your reply. And I am sorry to hear that you abandoned it earlier because of a lack of time. I was also studying for treaties earlier, but due to for example a lack of time to always keep being active in WP (e.g., I traveled abroad earlier this year), and the fact that I looked into

Thanks for explaining -- it makes sense. Is there some way of indicating this in the article? Or maybe use the historical names instead of the modern ones? But that would take lots of space. It's perfectly OK as it is. Up to
