@Tokisaki Kurumi Hello! I'm fine with changing the colors. I was modeling this template off of Template:American Revolution sidebar (using Chinese colors instead), but I agree that the effect is a bit gaudy.

As far as the inclusion of events in the early 50s, I think they're directly relevant to understanding what the revolution's immediate goals/results were. An analogous example is the Template:History of Iranian Revolution, which includes the Cultural Revolution in Iran and the Iran hostage crisis under "events", despite the fact that they came after the revolution itself. I admit there's room for interpretation there, so if there's a specific event or events that you think fall too far outside of the "immediate aftermath" then let's discuss.

Also, I'm fine with removing the secret societies but the reason I included them was not because they were communist themselves, but rather because they represented the rural unrest that made the peasantry receptive the the Communist message. SilverStar54 (talk) 03:23, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About styling: I took a look at Category:History and events sidebar templates and tried to reformat this sidebar to match the best examples I found.

And I agree. There should definitely be a "historiography" section on the Chinese Communist Revolution article talking about how historians (including Marxists and others) have responded to the differences between orthodox theory and the events of the revolution.

Yeah, so ... When do we start?
