The list of tongs here should probably be moved onto the main Tong page, as such a large and general list doesn't have any particular connection to this specific article's focus. natemup (talk) 03:09, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be retitled as it deals specifically with the San Francisco tong wars, barely mentioning the infamous 19th-century tong wars in cities like New York, for example. I don't know how to do any of that, so I'm hoping someone more Wiki-savvy can take a look. Thanks. Mpaniello (talk) 19:14, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A typical user can move a page by using the Move button at the top of the page. However, we could instead expand this article by integrating material about other tong wars. I'm not sure which option is better. Mgnbar (talk) 19:55, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply, expanding the article is a great idea, though unfortunately I don't have the knowledge (or the time, lol) to do that part. I'm not confident enough in my skills to move the page, though I can see it being a good San Francisco-specific section in the larger article on Tongs, but I think it would take time to integrate it because of differing writing styles, sourcing, etc. Mpaniello (talk) 20:09, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that the proper name Tong has both capitalization and not used throughout the article. I am wondering if that was intentional? PigeonChickenFish (talk) 20:26, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
