Talk:Titan Sports Media Group

History of the name[edit]

I came to the article and saw this verbiage:

When it was founded as a sports newspaper, the Chinese name of the media group is 体坛, which means sports field. "体坛" is pronounced as tǐtán in Chinese pinyin (The Chinese official romantization system of Chinese characters). The media outlet was then translated as Titan in English, accidentally occupying the same word as the second generation of divine beings in the Greek myth.

I changed it to this:

When it was founded as a sports newspaper, the Chinese name of the media group was 体坛, which means sports field. "体坛" is pronounced as tǐtán in Chinese pinyin (The Chinese official romantization system of Chinese characters). The name was mistranslated as Titan in English, the word used to refer to the descendants of the gods in Greek Mythology.^{[citation needed]}

I read the word "accidentally" and thought that meant it was a mistake, so wrote that it was mistranslated. The original editor changed it back to:

When it was founded as a sports newspaper, the Chinese name of the media group was 体坛, which means sports field. "体坛" is pronounced as tǐtán in Chinese pinyin (The Chinese official romantization system of Chinese characters). The name was then translated as Titan in English, the word used to refer to the descendants of the gods in Greek Mythology.

The key was removing the word "accidentally". Without that, the last sentence doesn't need a citation, since the statement can be attributable without being attributed. The first sentence describing the given name does, so I'm marking it as CN. Timtempleton (talk) 20:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
