[edit] Questions
What is the source of '2km plateau'? It is definitely larger than 2km .. prat 06:35, 2004 Jan 26 (UTC)
what is the language/dialect of Kunming?
The current (29 January 2008) entry says:"Kunming consists of an old walled city, a modern commercial suburb, and a residential and university section." I lived in Kunming for two years and never saw any part of an old city wall. Is there a section of Kunming that is walled?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.243.36.202 (talk) 22:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC) You're correct. Kunming once had a walled city within it's domains, but that time has long past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmnage (talk • contribs) 12:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Relevance
The external reference for Father Ma Yingling in the History section is completely unrelated to Kunming. It should be replaced with a relevant link.
Why is the appoitment of a bishop relevant to Kunming's History? Christianity is of no importance to average Chinese' life. I will remove that part.Would the position 25.05132,102.70161 be correct ?
Since Kunming is the largest city in Yunnan and since Yunnan is the southernmost province in China, I am confused by your map showing a red province in the far north of some larger country?

BTW, whoever wrote everything above, they really are bad at writing questions.
I am from Kunming, and I will try to answer all of the questions.
Kunming has their own dialect, it is a slight different version of Mandarin, since Mandarin speakers could sometimes understand Kunming people's dialect.
The red is not a province in the map, it is where Kunming is located in the province of Yunnan. You should look at the map more detailed. The red is the area and district of Kunming.
There also seems like to be 24 copies of Montpellier, France as Kunming's sister city, though Kunming is not Montpellier, France's sister city. Therefore, I will remove that from the article.
Also, the picture titled, "Green Lake Park (Cui Hu Gong Yuan)" is incorrect. I believe that picture was most likely taken at the Western Hills(西山). It cannot possibly be the Green Lake, I live right behind it. Can an administrator please remove this picture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmnage (talk • contribs) 13:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
