RfC: Taiwan, "country" or "state"

There has been continued discussion and failure to reach consensus on whether Taiwan should be called a "country" or "state" on the Taiwan article: Talk:Taiwan#Taiwan...is_a_country? I've opened an RfC to come to consensus. User:Stephen Balaban - 9:59, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Addition of Pe̍h-ōe-jī

Jen KRT (talk · contribs) has been making edits en masse to the romanization of Chinese names, adding Pe̍h-ōe-jī and often Pe̍h-ōe-jī alone. In most of the edits, there seems to be no direct connection between the subject of the article and Minnan, of which POJ is the romanization. According to MOS:CHINESE, Pinyin is the primary representation to be used. The article Pe̍h-ōe-jī also states that outside Taiwan, POJ is rarely used, and that even within Taiwan, it is not the official romanization for Minnan. Therefore, I consider it undue to add POJ to an article's romanizations unless there is a direct connection to it. Also pinging Dawkin Verbier. intforce (talk) 15:03, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, hanyu pinyin should be the main transliteration. This is even more true in contemporary mainland China articles like Xie Hua'an. That article's lead currently only gives POJ (and traditional characters instead of simplified), so that should be changed.

In general it doesn't hurt much to add another transliteration to Infobox Chinese, so if someone finds it useful, I'm inclined to err on the side of allowing POJ in the infobox for Taiwan articles (but hanyu pinyin should always be included too). —Mx.

I agree. Allowing it in the infobox doesn't hurt if pinyin is already there, but adding it in the lead sentence leads to unnecessary clutter. The lead sentence should be restricted to pinyin (traditional and/or simplified). intforce (talk) 18:09, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Structure of the ROC/Taiwan parliament

There is a discussion at Talk:List_of_legislatures_by_number_of_members#Republic_of_China that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. It revolves around whether the list should reflect the organization as envisioned in the original Constitution of the Republic of China, or after the various Additional Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of China. Recent edits favor the former, on the argument that the latter only result in de facto rather than de jure changes. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 21:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
