Talk:Tai Chi-tao

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tai Chi Tao seems to be more popular: [1]. Only 32 sites use the pinyin. --Jiang 09:01, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Move away. I did "Dai Chuanxian" because the Examination Yuan calls him that (in Chinese). --Menchi (Talk)â 09:09, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Does Wikipedia favor the national government's usage over common English usage? (Sincere question, I don't know these things). Incidentally, Dai Jitao seems to be more popular on Chinese webpages. [2]

This is not even an ambiguous case. Look at Talk:Chang Hsüeh-liang#Pinyin or W-G. --Menchi (Talk)â 09:27, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

OK, I understand that now. But the ROC's National Palace Museum mentions him in an English page and uses W-G. [3]. (Not to mention the slightly incorrect W-G form used by the Examination Yuan's English pages [4]) --Xiaopo's Talk 09:35, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC)

"Tai Chi-tao" it is, then. --Menchi (Talk)â 09:42, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Or "Tai Chi-tao"? But the first few links refer to Tai Chi and Tao - not the person, i believe: [5]. But since he lived under the ROC... --Jiang 09:13, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It's probably hyphenated and correctly (de)capitalized. This isn't like Chen Ning Yang, I believe. Tai wasn't westernized to the degree like Yang at all from what I can tell. And that he isn't Cantonese at all (Cantonese names are traditionally in the "Chen Ning Yang" category). --Menchi (Talk)â 09:20, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

This still beats the 32: [6]. --Jiang 09:26, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It seems his involvement with Chinese Socialism is not mentioned in the paragraph, can anyone add to that? Thanks.
