taikonaut
I think the Chinese term should be in the article whether we use the english astronaut or the pseudo-english taikonaut. Saying that it looks ugly doesn't seem to me to be a good reason to remove the correct Chinese term. Ark30inf 03:56, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Time will tell what the preferred term for a Chinese astronaut is in English - my money's on "astronaut". There's no special reason to include a Chinese translation of "astronaut" on this page (any more than there is a reason to include a Chinese translation of the word "rocket" for example). rlandmann


 * We should probably take our lead from China's official news sources -- both Xinhua and China Daily use "Chinese astronaut" so we should stick to that. Fuzheado 05:52, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)


 * Agree. "Taikonaut" is not a Chinese term, it is an english term invented by English news media. It is originated from "Taikonren", a nonofficial Chinese term which I believe is used mainly in Hong Kong. Wshun


 * Yup, it's interesting that only Western media outlets have been using that term. Fuzheado 06:39, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

paragraphs
How come almost every sentence is a paragraph? --seav 07:53, Oct 16, 2003 (UTC)


 * Seems like a lot of media statements are copied inside this article. Most of them actually belong into the Shenzou 5 article, as they are details on that flight, not about the biography of the astronaut. Hopefully the chinese media will release more information about their new national hero, so this article can evolve into a decent biography. andy 09:24, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)


 * I squished them together and moved things around some, so hopefully it reads a bit better now. -- Finlay McWalter 12:29, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you're right that the flight details should be part of Shenzhou 5 - this is precisely what we do for Yuri Gagarin. -- Finlay McWalter 12:44, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Wen Jiabao
Hmm, the way the article reads now, it sounds like premier Wen Jiabao was there when the capsule landed, and greeted Yang in person. Is this really the case, or were his greetings relayed remotely (e.g. by phone)? -- Finlay McWalter 12:29, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Gagarin
I changed the "Aftermath" section - the verbage implied that Yuri Gagarin died in a space flight. He did not.--68.202.73.70 20:54, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Sz5insignia.png
Image:Sz5insignia.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
