Talk:Taiwan passport

message: The article states that persons with "Proof of ROC nationality for a parent or ancestor, together with proof of descent" are eligible to hold a Taiwanese passport, however the citation above it does not mention this at all. 
Are persons with this proof of ROC nationality actually eligible, as there is no reference to suggest that this is the case.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justaninfoseeker (talk • contribs) 11:44, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, ROC follows jus sanguinis; all descendants of ROC citizens are entitled to the citizenship in principle.  But this is not automatic so of course you'd need to reply. o 23:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

message: It says that Bulgaria refuses to accept ROC passports.  Is this still the case?  Although not yet part of the Schengen Area, Bulgaria has to apply the same rules for immigration as Schengen countries (e.g. requiring visas for citizens of the same countries), and I would assume that this also means that Bulgaria has to accept passports from the same issuing authoroties as the Schengen countries.  So is it still possible for Bulgaria to refuse to accept ROC passports? (Stefan2 00:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Please check the visa-free access countries ONE-BY-ONE (see how we do it for the articles British passport and HKSAR passport) and include more reliable sources (e.g. the consulate/immigration department/foreign ministry) of the countries concerned. Otherwise the "not verified" tag should not be removed.

thread_title:  Tagging [[Kosovan passport]] with pov-title 

message: I saw some revert-warring/vandalism-calling following a removal of 2 types of information by me yesterday. Allow me to explain and let's have a discussion here instead of reverting each other... Passports and traveling to countries with passports, as well as the need for visa for travel are intimitely linked subjects and are (in my opinion) notable subjects. However, they are not the same. A long discussion was held in Jan-Feb this year (visible at Talk:passport in archives 3 and 4) on the question whether they belong on i) a single wiki, ii) whether visa-info should be removed or iii) whether visa info and passport info should be in separate wikis. The compromise was to use choice iii and therefore Visa requirements for Republic of China citizens was created. The wiki is linked here and contains both list-class info on current visa requirements as well as policy discussions; I think it would be a bit weird to have the policy discussions here when the "present policy" (the list) is treated already elsewhere... Because of that and in line with the carefully crafted consensus on talk:passport I removed the policy discussions from this wiki and removed the visa-related links. I strongly suggest to keep it this way or find out if consensus can be found for a change throughout passport/visa articles at Talk:passport. L.tak (talk) 21:08, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

message: No doubt some won't like this but the fact is that "TW" is the "ISO country code for "Taiwan, Province of China"; ISO does not use the term "Taiwan" by itself. I've clarified this for the reader in the Data section. I think we should always be honest with readers, even if we do or do not like the facts. Frenchmalawi (talk) 11:41, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Taiwan, Province of China]]

message: Future editors should note that the official name of the passport is Republic of China passport, not Taiwan (ROC) passport, per the ROC passport law. The infobox added Taiwan in parentheses only to highlight the wording "Taiwan" on the cover. Pro-independent activists should refrain from personal nationalistic agendas when editing in order to avoid the conflict with WP:POV. The infobox information should always reflect the official name of the passport in oppose to the page title. C-GAUN (talk) 00:16, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

message: While both terms are correct, the uncapitalized version is mostly used by people from Hong Kong to distinguish Hong Kong from the mainland, while the capitalized term is used by Taiwanese to denote Taiwan's status as an independent state from China. Also, since all previous editors used the capitalized term, it's not necessary to change from that.C-GAUN (talk) 15:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your explanation here. See mainland China and WT . I found "Mainland Area" at . I did not find support for "Mainland China". Hong Kong English may not be appropriate for this article. Can you provide a source? Hongthay (talk) 16:10, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for the late reply. Capitalized "Mainland" is used by the PRC in official English version of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China ("Mainland" is capitalized except for the wording "Chinese mainland") and a semi-official translation of the Measures for the Control of Chinese Citizens Travelling to or from the Region of Taiwan, and like you said, Taiwanese also used capitalized "Mainland" on their official documents. Both sides have carefully avoided the word "China" in these legal texts due to the complicated Cross-Straight relations.C-GAUN (talk) 07:43, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: "Mainland China" v. "mainland China"

message: For some reason there seems to be a Taiwanese independence bias or maybe a Mainland China = the only "real" China bias here on Wikipedia as any reference to "the Republic of China" from article titles, compare how Ireland links to the island and the political entity is the Republic of Ireland while here it's Taiwan for the political entity (which is called the Republic of China) and the Geography of Taiwan for a article identical to Ireland's, but somehow WP:COMMONNAME only applies here, as South-Korea's passport page is also referred to as the Republic of Korea passport and not the South-Korean passport, and even North-Korea's passports are referred to as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea passports, it seems very pro-Communist/pro-Taiwanese independence to name this page "Taiwanese" when Taiwan refers to a geographic entity and may be used as a nickname for the Republic of China as Holland is for the Kingdom of the Netherlands or England for the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern-Ireland or Russia for the Soviet Union, we don't call Soviet passports "Russian passports" either, the name of this article (not the introduction which should remain unchanged) seems to violate WP:NPOV.
