Talk:Asian Tour

Chinese Taipei vs. Taiwan

If the organization in charge uses "Chinese Taipei" instead of "Taiwan" (as its website suggests), then we should be using the name used by the organization according to Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(Chinese)#Political_NPOV.--Jiang 09:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

But it does not. The two events in Taiwan on the tour are called the Mercury Taiwan Masters and the Taiwan Open! ReeseM 04:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

yes, but these are EVENTS! And they also have OKINAWA Open, then why dont you replace Japan by Okinawa? Please follow wiki's guideline and stop making third-rate excuse! mainbody

Okinawa is not a country. If you look at the relevant discussions, it is perfectly clear that using Chinese Taipei simply reflects the POV of the PRC, that something which some organisations have been intimidated into doing for financial reasons, and that it can never be a "neutral" term. User:ReeseM and I are two of the major editors of this article and it looks like neither of us want to get involved in these issues. We just want to follow the golf, so please let's take your Chinese political wars out of this article altogether. I will remove all the country references from the article. If you restore them, I will add a POV tag. By the way, I have seen the "administrator" you selected listed on the village pump for causing problems with his or her virulent views. You chose someone you knew who would agree with you and represented them to Reese as a neutral party. In my opinion that was improper. Osomec 21:00, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Wrong, all my edits are based on long-existent wiki policy[see my edit summary]. You can find administrators who never support this wiki policy on naming conventions and ask them to make amendment then. Once you become wiki's editor("major" or not, I dont really care), please follow wiki's instructions. It's common sense.

BTW, all major sporting events includings Olympic games use CHINESE TAIPEI, but I never heard that it is for financial reasons (IOC financially needs PRC's support? Come on!) This is simply worldwide standardization.

I really don't see how any sensible person can fail to see that this term is used purely in response to pressure from the PRC, which has great diplomatic clout, and for no other reason whatsoever. Osomec 01:25, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
