[edit] References in English

A Wiki article generally needs references in the language that particular Wiki uses. Here, it is extremely important, because this is used by many other English Wiki articles as a primary source. (In the existing situation, there is no easy way for an English speaking editor or reader to review either this article, therefore the dozens that link to it.)

This is a quote from Wiki policy on Verifiability

"Where editors use non-English sources, they should ensure that readers can verify for themselves the content of the original material and the reliability of its author/publisher.

Where editors use a non-English source to support material that others might challenge, or translate any direct quote, they need to quote the relevant portion of the original text in a footnote or in the article, so readers can check that it agrees with the article content."

In checking the link to the National Sun Yat-sen University, I was unable to see any quick way to find the reference. Could some work please be done so that this excellent source is easily available to a wider audience?

Thank you.
