Moved from Amoy to Xiamen, because the later is 3.6 times more common nowadays [1]. --Menchi 05:22, Aug 26, 2003 (UTC)
- 3.6 times more common? haha Aep 18:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 3 links
Should the 3 Links and Mini 3-Links transportation be mentioned, even though only mainlanders and taiwanese can use them? Aep 18:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Ē-mn̂g"?!?
I went in and removed a lot of the changes that were recently made by '76.166.61.61', who for some reason doesn't seem to realize that Mandarin Chinese is the official language of Mainland China (and/or that Xiamen is part of Mainland China). The city's nationally and internationally recognized name is Xiamen, not 'Ē-mn̂g', the university's name is not 'Ē-mn̂g University' the airports name is not 'Ē-mn̂g Airport' either for that matter.

- "Ē-mn̂g" is quite ok. I gotta remind you there're countless languages in China, and it's such a stupid thing to relate everything with nationalism. If you were a Hok-kiàn-lâng, you would perhaps be more familiar with the native name "Ē-mn̂g", whilst "Xiàmén" might sound a little weird. Most Amoy citizens still speak Min Nan, rather than Mandarin, as their daily language. Therefore, please respect them, as well as nearly 50 million Min Nan speakers in Fujian, in Taiwan, and all around the world.
- BTW, the exact names for "Xiamen University" and "Xiamen Airport" are "Ē-mn̂g Toā-o̍h" ("Hā-tāi" for short) and "Ē-mn̂g Ki-tiûⁿ", respectively.--GnuDoyng 10:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
