The Mako disambiguation page points here. I don't speak Chinese, so I don't know if that's correct or not. Is Mako another romanization of Makung? RoySmith

Perhaps the colonial Japanese name, something like makō? --MarkSweep 5 July 2005 20:37 (UTC)

In any case, it does not redirect here anymore. Makung's not even mentioned in Mako. --Menchi 5 July 2005 21:31 (UTC)

Now I'm confused. Mako does indeed mention Makung, unless someone changed it very recently. --MarkSweep 5 July 2005 22:00 (UTC)

The current reference is Makung, a city on the main Pescadore Island in the Taiwan Strait. --RoySmith 5 July 2005 22:05 (UTC)

Yes, I changed that recently from "Makung is a region in China". However, we still haven't solved the puzzle of why it was mentioned on the Mako disambiguation page in the first place. --MarkSweep 6 July 2005 05:19 (UTC)

I googled for "mako makung". Other than the wikipedia dab page itself (and several clones), the only page I found with both terms is http://www.combinedfleet.com/haruka_t.htm, but I'm not sure what it tells us. --RoySmith 6 July 2005 12:34 (UTC)

Very good! The bit about "Mako (Pescadores)" is pretty solid evidence that Makung is meant here, as it seems to have the biggest seaport in the Pescadores. --MarkSweep 6 July 2005 13:42 (UTC)
