[edit] Move or Redirect
This Song Dynasty poet is referred to more frequently by his courtesy name, i.e. Su Dongpo. IMO Su Shi should only be a redirect. 大将军, 都督中外诸军事 (talk) 22:52, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Oh, it is just my lazy way to create Su Shi (there was no link to Su Shi). Anyway, I don't think it matters. :P wshun 20:44, 26 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I agree with referring to him by his courtesy name. I feel that if he chose a pen name under which to publish his poetry, then when writing about him as a poet we should respect his choice -- and that it is therefore important. I have seen the name reliably transliterated as "Su Tung P'o" and think that this choice ought to be mentioned in the article and that there should be a redirect from this as well. People should also be able to search for him as "Su Shih" and as "Su Shr," both of which names appear in anthologies. I'm new as a Wikipedia editor, and also illiterate when it comes to explaining transliterations Chinese names -- so I'd appreciate it if someone else would do these things. But we do need to make sure that visitors to Wikipedia can find this article, no matter what the source of their individual interest or what references led them here. William P.

With my recent edits, I have elevated Su Shi to b class, which the article deserves now in the least.--PericlesofAthens 09:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
