Talk:Fujian Province, Republic of China
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Existence of this page
It is rather misleading to be disambiguating entities according to different romanization systems when the Chinese name is the same. The FPG has started to use Hanyu Pinyin, and romanizes it as "Fujian" on its website. In addition, before the prevalance of pinyin, Fukien and Fu-chien were applied to the province as a whole, not just the ROC portion.
Since this was implemented without prior discussion, I will revert the split. I don't oppose a split as long as the scope of each article is clearly defined, the article titles are not ambiguous, and the gazillion links leading to Fujian are fixed.--Jiang 03:39, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- I've moved the page to something not based on different romanization systems. -- ran (talk) 20:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
That's weird, why is the government website FKPG.gov.tw (Fu Kien Provincial Government)... Seems they updated the romanization to Fu Jian but didn't update the website address. Also, shouldn't the correct spelling be "FuJian Province"? That's the way the government spells it. Although I prefer Hanyu pinyin, maybe it's biased to use a system that is not used by the ROC government. — Nrtm81 05:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
