This page is horrible as it stands.

I moved this to Festivals in Taiwan. Should it be at Holidays in Taiwan? -- Zoe

This page is redundant and a more complete chart is already listed in the Taiwan article. --Jiang

[edit] Poll

Was anyone here aware Instantnood is running another poll to move "XXX of Taiwan" to "XXX of the Republic of China" at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese)/NPOV/Taiwan vs. ROC? The poll "started" a week ago, but since no pages link to the polling page, I thought maybe it was a little onesided and needed some publicity... SchmuckyTheCat 21:18, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Please kindly check Special:Whatlinkshere/Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese)/NPOV/Taiwan vs. ROC (except those added by SchmuckyTheCat just now), for what pages are linked to it. Thank you.

Please also note that the polls there are enforcement of the naming conventions. — Instantnood 21:47, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

Disclaimer

I first suggested to proceed to have a poll as a solution on March 10 at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese)/archive4#Solution, and there was no objection. More than two weeks later on March 26 I suggested to have polls on a case-by-case basis (at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese)/NPOV#Solution). A link was added at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese)/NPOV#Solution to direct readers to the polling page on March 31, at the time when the polling page was created.

SchmuckyTheCat is wrong for accusing me for starting the polls with no page linked to it, that it might resulted in onesided and lack of publicity. Please note this is an accusation, though I am pretty sure opinion wouldn't be affected easily. — Instantnood 06:39, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Festivals vs. holidays

Which are public holidays and which are non-public holiday festivals? Seems it isn't marked in the article. — Instantnood 21:49, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arbor Day

Is March 12 - Arbor Day correct?--JBellis 10:55, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Romanization?

Should the article not give pinyin (or whatever) versions of the "local name"s? I mean, most English speakers can't read hanzi at all, and the Chinese names of Chinese festivals are important even in English Wikipedia. elvenscout742 23:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When is Buddha's Birthday ?

Is this holiday always on May 15th in Taiwan/ROC ? Not the 8th day of the 4th month in the lunar calendar ? May 15th is only the 8th day of the 4th month in 2005. For 2006, the 8th day of the 4th month was May 5th. -- PFHLai 18:04, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Holidays

It has been while and I think we reached a consensus on not to merge. There is a link to [Public Holidays In The Republic Of China] [discussion over naming] that lists the official holidays. Wenzi 05:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
