message: "In fact, since PRC's establishment, it never controlled any of the territories the ROC government currently governs."
This is poor writing. "In fact..."? Which fact? Just state what needs to be stated, or at the very least cite the facts that you're referencing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bastett (talk • contribs) 23:08, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Poor writing 

message: What is now called the Taiwan article tells us that the island was created in 1912.  Clearly the current content of the Taiwan article doesn't reflect the name change yet and I think the real question is where the pre-1949 Republic of China content will end up.  Maybe the article will live up to it's new name and become about the island of Taiwan or maybe it will continue to be about the Republic of China and just be called something else. I would favor giving that article more time to figure out what the Wikipedia community wants it to be before deciding on this merger.  Additionally, there are articles on Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China and Taiwan Province, Republic of China that should also be considred with article restructuring at that time.

replies: text: The Taiwan article should be about Taiwan. Material that is about the ROC and not Taiwan, for example pre-1949 material, can be moved to the History of the Republic of China article. (In my opinion this article should be renamed "Republic of China" now that that lemma is free.) Kauffner (talk) 05:42, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

text: There's also Republic of China (1912–1949). --Cybercobra (talk) 06:07, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

text: I've raised this issue at Talk:Taiwan#History section, which seems a more appropriate place to discuss it.  Kanguole 10:18, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with you, Kauffner, that such a shift in content is warranted although the consensus to rename didn't seem to advocate such a shift. I'll follow up on Kanguole's discussion. RevelationDirect (talk) 10:29, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The two concepts are not identical, and some of the materials are specifically about the geographical-historical-cultural region and do not actually belong to the article for the country. It's a good thing to be bold, but being bold isn't the excuse to ignore lesser known facts and differences. Jeffrey (talk) 22:53, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Consensus was in favour of the merge. Do you have any new arguments that haven't been presented yet? – NULL ‹talk›‹edits› 23:15, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

text: If you look at other country articles, you'll find that it's standard practice to cover the geographical-historical-cultural region.  Kanguole 00:34, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The Formosa Expedition of 1867 was regarded as a failure in United States Naval history. The Taiwan Expedition of 1874 marked the successful deployment of the Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy. What a difference a name makes! --Pawyilee (talk) 15:16, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: It was largely agreed that this page should redirect to Geography of Taiwan. There is nothing in that short stub that isn't included in various other ROC-related articles. -- Peter Talk page 13:57, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
