[edit] Help requested

I have already posted a help request on the Wikipedia:Japanese Wikipedians' notice board seeking help to match the names of the governors to any existing pages. I would extremely appreciate it if anyone could help us on this matching task.Mababa 06:01, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

To the mysterious contributer 219.98.32.95, Thank you so much for your help!! REALLY APPRECIATE IT!! :)Mababa 04:03, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify Dates

I've wikified the dates to ISO 8601 format [[YYYY]]-[[MM-DD]] according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). There were, however, a number of inconsistensies and confusions for me.

1. The ending date was always just a month, so I converted those to just the month, rather than assuming that the end date might be one day before the beginning of the next governor
2. Ando Sadami 1915.51 ?
3. Ando Rikichi 1944.45-2.30 ?
4. There appears to be a gap of at least 26 days from the end of Nogi Maresuke to the beginning of Kodama Gentaro
5. There appears to be a small overlap from Akashi Motojiro to Den Kenjiro
6. There appears to be a big overlap between Nakagawa Kenzo and Kobayashi Seizo
7. There appears to be a gap between Hasegawa Kiyoshi and Ando Rikichi (if Ando Rikichi's rule started on February 30th).

Also: Shouldn't the title of this article be "List of Governor-General of Taiwan", unless there is a plan to add more information to the article? BlankVerse 07:35, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your help in wikifying the dating structure. Unfortunately, I can not find the information on the exact date for their duty transition. We might have to supplement that data when we come across later.

The title has been duly changed as suggested.Mababa 09:27, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Location of this page

This page should not be limited to a list and should describe the history, duties, and holdersof the position so it belongs at "Governor-General of Taiwan". In any case, a list would preumably have more than one element like this one, so it would be a list of Governors-General, not a list of Governor-General. Please correct the links. --Jiang 02:52, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I was hoping to expand the article with more historical background and their individual achievements in Taiwan. However, I am not sure when can I embark on this work and thus, I temporarily moved the title to "the list of......." I am actually happy that we can change it back. Perhaps we can make Taiwan under Japanese rule a colaboration of the Taiwan wikipedians. Not sure how many people would get out to joint this kind of colaborations.Mababa 04:45, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chen Yi's title

I dispute the statement "It also shortly existed between 1945 to 1947 under Chinese rule." Chen Yi's position is most often translated into "Chief Executive". What are the Chinese characters for both? It would be relevant in the article. --Jiang 02:52, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

When Chen Yi took over Taiwan, he assumed two positions at the same time, one is Garrison/military occupation power-like position: head of 警備總司令部; the second one is provisional civilian government-kind :head of 行政長官公署.[1] I am not sure which one should be translated as Chief Executive or Governor-General. I cited the source from Time magazine. Perhaps either one works or they are different titles for different positions. Perhaps we can bring this question to the Taiwan related notice board for discussion.Mababa 04:45, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Fixed, I removed that whole section.--Jerry 20:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
