Big picture lost. Move big Chinatowns to top[edit]

This article is not very useful. I came looking for the big picture and found a mess of details. I would recommend, if any one is curious, putting all the major Chinatowns together at the top (no more than 10), and then putting regionally important Chinatowns below. I would not include very small, neighborhood Chinatowns in this article (those details belong in the article on each small city).

Re: Houston's Chinatown[edit]

The writer of the entry on Chinatown, Houston said that it has been an area of settlement for Chinese Mexicans. I assume this is a more recent population of Chinese Mexicans that has settled since the 1970's or so. Historically, Chinese Mexicans preferred El Paso and San Antonio.

I'd like to know where the writer got his/her info on the Chinese Mexicans settling in the Bellaire Chinatown area. I'd like to know how many Chinese Mexicans the writer believes live in the Bellaire Chinatown of Houston. And I'd like to know when they settled and what they do.

I am the editor of a Univ of Texas book on the history of Asian Americans in Texas, and I found your Wikipedia website very useful for this neighborhood-related information.

Thank you for helping me.

Oh, and I have not done any studies on the sizes of Chinatowns, but I do know that the Chinatown along Bellaire in Houston is humongous. It stretches from close to Highway 59 along Bellaire to getting close to Highway 6. And of course it is not limited to stores and homes on Bellaire itself. It is likely larger than both the NYC and SF Chinatowns in geographic size, combined. Also, nearby Fort Bend Coutny suburbs are also very Chinese (25% or so).

Don't depend on Wikipedia too much for information. It's best to use peer-reviewed journal articles. Everyone seems to have their idiosyncracies here.

Needs pictures[edit]

This site could use some illustrations and pictures of the suburban Chinatowns. If I were to be credited, I'd go out to some of new Chinatowns described and shoot some pictures but I'm not entirely altruistic due to this being a "copyleft" site and all.

This article is 92KB, and should be split[edit]

As this article is 92KB, quite considerably larger than the 32KB recommended, I suggest splitting off the specific surveys of 'Chinatowns in the United States' and 'Chinatowns in Canada' and concentrating the article as an analysis of patterns in North American Chinatowns.--Pharos 08:12, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Alternatively, we could keep the US and Canada surveys on this page to be consistent with the other articles in the series, and move the other sections to Chinatown patterns in North America.--Pharos 10:00, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Go for it!

I've intentionally included several POVs, spelling and grammatical errors and also left information vague to see if this article (and the main Chinatown article) ever gets much attention beyond the delete-happy edits. Probably not. Yes, this article does need some splitting. But then, since it's not a high priority for me, I'll let someone else do it.

OK, the article has been split.--Pharos 10:26, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

San Francisco’s Chinatown[edit]

It’s actually the largest outside of Asia. Not sure where this info is coming from. 2601:640:8800:ED00:256D:F28A:D46B:84FF (talk) 17:04, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
