Talk:Mount Taibai

Translation
Enjoy. Someone port the photos over from Chinese Wikicommons, please. Or tell me how to do so. White whirlwind (talk) 23:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * There is only one Wikimedia Commons, so I assume you mean the Chinese Wikipedia? This page may help you move images on zh-pedia to Commons, though it is, of course, written for the English Wikipedia. A quick look on those images' pages on the Chinese Wikipedia suggests that they are suitably licensed, but I'd rather not perform the move as I don't read/speak Chinese. Let me know if you need any technical assistance. Robert Skyhawk (T C B) 23:54, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I tried and wasn't successful. The scripts involved were a little over my poor head.  I did flag the original images with the Copy to Wikimedia Commons template, so hopefully the uploader will do so.  White whirlwind (talk) 06:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Good job on the translation! Alas I am behind the GFC and unable to sort out the images :(. BTW the red "Daoist Temple" link needs amendment, I believe that the Wiki common usage is Taoist (i.e. Wade Giles transliteration) and "Taoist Temple" currently redirects to a place in Beverly Hills which is culturally interesting to say the least. There is no Chinese entry for "Taoist Temple" so maybe just link "Taoist"? Philg88 (talk) 07:10, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll sort something out on the link. Tao with a "T" is certainly the more common spelling but the pinyin version is certainly the standard in modern academia. White whirlwind (talk) 10:57, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You're right - even with the English word Taoism the pinyin is still dao Philg88 (talk) 22:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, sir! I looked over the Manual of Style (use of Chinese language) and it seems pretty correct, if sort of remedial. Also, some "Wiki common usages", as you say, are outdated or incorrect, and I don't have a problem with spearheading the switch.  I mean, you can't even publish a scholarly work with the word "Taoism" in it anymore.  As for the temple link, it now takes users to the Temple (Chinese) page.
