A check on January 5th 2009 found out that http://www.mandarintools.com/cedict.html redirects to MDBG CC-CEDICT page. Was there some merge between the two? A takeover of CC-CEDICT due to CEDICT inactiveness? Can anyone check on this? --Duke.of.spacingham (talk) 14:34, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

CEDICT -> CC-CEDICT
Erik stopped maintaining CEDICT years ago. CC-CEDICT is the continuation of CEDICT, maintained by MDBG. Erik redirected his CEDICT page to CC-CEDICT years ago.

Contributions to CC-CEDICT are now reviewed by a group of editors, without any specific religious affiliations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.99.228.34 (talk) 11:03, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

It does not help that Erik Peterson redirected the page in such a way that it's still displayed within his frameset (if you're using a frames-capable browser and you click the cedict link on his home page). This makes it look like it's still his page, because his left-hand frame is still there when you click the cedict link.

Does anyone have a ref about exactly when this change happened? It should probably be noted in the article. http://www.mandarintools.com/download/cedict_readme.txt is still active and is dated December 2005, so that gives us an earliest possible date. That text file also says that Erik took over from Paul in about 2000. 82.26.5.210 (talk) 15:55, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Is the maintainer's religion relevant to the article?
In revision 447275565, 219.101.245.1 removed a reference to the maintainer's religion, saying "maintainer's religion is irrelevant to the article".

The relevance I see is this: Some Bible-related words are translated into Chinese differently by different Bible-related religions. Let's call this set of words S. We know that CEDICT contains some Bible-related words, and it seems likely that some of CEDICT's Bible-related words belong to the set S.  If a user of the dictionary is interested in the words in set S, and if that user cares about which religion(s) were involved in their translation, and if the dictionary itself does not give this information, then the user may wish to view the dictionary maintainer's religion as the most likely candidate.

Are there any counterarguments? Meanwhile, I will revert the edit by 219.101.245.1 and add a comment referring to this talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.5.210 (talk) 10:47, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
