A lot of points to respond to Aleenf  you once again ignored the fact or are being misleading intentionally about national titles  On Wikipedia pages we use China Laos Palestine Iran etc when those are NOT the official IOC designations  Not only are those now the official names those are not even the official IOC designations  Yet we still use them without question  It is only with the situation of Taiwan that you make an issue of it  I am not even proposing the sole use of Taiwan just its mention as a parenthetical  Otherwise I insist that you use Peoples Republic of China Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Islamic Republic of Iran Palestinian Authority ETC as those are the IOC designations for those countries  THAT is where your hypocrisy lies Rebskii  People SEE Chinese Taipei but they dont know it is Taiwan  Why do you think one of Taiwans gold medal winners had to declare before the international press in Athens in English I am from Taiwan  It is because there is much confusion among people  I spoke with a couple of Australian baseball fans who made the trip from Australia to see the  Intercontinental Cup here in Taichung  They didnt know that Chinese Taipei was in fact Taiwan until they started making plans for the trip  It is not even universally known among sports fans much less the general public As for the domains of Taiwan Orchid Island and Green Island among others are historically linked with Taiwan and have long been administratively a part of Taiwan  The only counties that are not historically part of Taiwan are the tiny islands with some  people off the coast of Fujian which produces none of our athletes  Taiwan is the commonly used phrase on the street domestically not ROC and not Chinese Taipei We are not bound by the opinions and illegal claims of barbarous dictators in Beijing   If you look at the good article guidelines one of them is that the article should provide appropriate information for people who are not necessarily familiar with the subject  Simply stating Chinese Taipei does not meet that standard because few people know what it is  A simple parenthetical Taiwan beside Chinese Taipei accomplishes one of the standards of good article writing with very little trouble Again if you insist on ONLY Chinese Taipei because that is the IOC designation then use all of the other IOC designations for the other countries I have listed above
