The result of the move request was: page moved. Can someone please clean up the lede to match the new title? I am not competent to do so, and fear my attempts might be laughable to any chinese reader. Andrewa (talk) 09:16, 2 February 2014 (UTC)Reply


Liao NanjingNanjing (Liao Dynasty) – The disambiguation word "Liao", denoting the name of the dynasty/empire, was added to the front of the city name, by people of later times. There's no right or wrong in this, so I'm listing it for a discussion. I think "Nanjing (Liao Dynasty)" is a lot clearer to a western reader. Timmyshin (talk) 23:01, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Support. "Liao Nianning" is not "the historical name for Beijing during the Khitan-led Liao Dynasty" as the lede states, and the term does not seem to be current in modern scholarhip when referring to the Liao city of Nanning. I agree that Nanning (Liao Dynasty) is the best name for the article. BabelStone (talk) 12:57, 29 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
