[edit] Major Leaguers

It's impossible for the 2004 Olympic team to have included major leaguers. Major league teams did not let their players go to Athens.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.92.19.73 (talk • contribs) 03:25, 2 March 2006.

[edit] Response + Comment

Response to first thing: This is the WBC roster. Also, is it neccessary to put their names in Chinese/—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Smartyshoe (talk • contribs) 01:42, 3 March 2006.

[edit] Japanese Professional Baseball League

The Japanese Professional Baseball League isn't called "JPB".It's called "NPB"(Nippon Professional Baseball).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 140.117.195.196 (talk • contribs) 17:43, 19 June 2006.

[edit] Rename

I think the name of the article should not have been changed into Taiwan, but should still be Chinese Taipei as that is the official name used in international sports competitions. All sports related articles considering Taiwan exist on Wikipedia as Chinese Taipei (click the link to find out why). I suggest to rename it back to what it was.

I disagree because this article includes time in which the term Chinese Taipei was not used. I believe there should be a section added to include a description of the fact that the country has competed under three names since 1949, but due to the presence of historical information predating the use of Chinese Taipei, I agree with the name change, though it is not I who made it. ludahai 魯大海 22:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

OK you convinced me, but it should become more clear inside the article like you just did for me then ;) SportsAddicted | discuss 23:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

all we need to do is to change it innit? Many of people do not what is Chinese Taipei but Taiwan. I fink we should stick with Taiwan rather than Chinese Taipei. The aim of this article is and will give them an objective information about whateva team we are talking about here. Very Nice —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Changchih228 (talk • contribs) 23:54, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Restructuring

Okay, let me explain some of my restructing:

• I removed the history section because I don't think it will ever be expanded. The records of achievement is pretty much the history of the team.
• I adjusted the lead paragraph. "Excluded" is rather POV-leaning, even though it was the truth. I changed that to "the withdrawal", which is the official usage.
• I grouped all the participated competitions together so that it looks organized.
• Removed the statistics; the Taiwanese team is not even in any of those tables.
• Reformatted the Roster section. Since it's the national team, it's really unnecessary to include the flag when they are obviously all from the same country.

Good work on the article! AQu01rius (User • Talk) 04:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
