Talk:History of Taiwan (1945–present)

replies: text: I'm a native Mandarin speaker but I don't know the terms. Also, I think this article should be moved to either the English name of 中華民國領臺時期 or Taiwan Post-War Era. The reason is that I think the current name sounds more like a concept, and not a period of time.--Jerry 13:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought about using 中華民國領臺時期 when I first started the article but had a difficult time translating it (Republic of China Leads Taiwan Era is not good English).  Not that it's a great reason, but I went with the current title because it is extant on another article: History of the Republic of China.  If I were to extrapolate from the section names in History of Taiwan, I would say Taiwan under the rule of the Republic of China.  I guess one's preference depends on one's view of the Political Status of Taiwan.  --WilliamDParker 16:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

text: This usage is quite common, I have heard it all my life.  A quick Google test shows many uses, including many published books.  It's not surprising that it sounds like Chinglish.  --Ideogram 21:44, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but I'm asking why we can't refine it to something that sounds a little more.... polished, as it were. John Smith's 22:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the best known version of the term.  It is the term used by Taiwanese to refer to their own country.  --Ideogram 22:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In English or in Chinese? I think it's quite possible to re-translate to something better. John Smith's 14:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: English.  --Ideogram 16:12, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So what's the literal translation of what they say in Chinese/Taiwanese/whatever? John Smith's 22:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea.  --Ideogram 23:21, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe the project will have an idea. John Smith's 09:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually Taiwan Post-War Era is a pretty common name (臺灣戰後時期) they teach at school.--Jerry 10:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, how about moving it to "Taiwan Post-war Era"? John Smith's 11:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation 

message: I think in order to be consistent with the Taiwanese history articles, this page should be moved to Taiwan after World War II.--Jerrch 16:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for not being considerate. I think the move was logical, though. It is a descriptive name, it is consistent with other Taiwanese history articles (for example, Taiwan under Japanese rule, Taiwan under European rule), and there's no WP:NPOV issues involved. Feel free to move it back if you think otherwise, though.--Jerrch 16:40, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: Particularly in the section on Taiwan's International Status and Cross-Straight relations, the organization of this article is very confusing.  It seems to jump around in time a whole lot, mentioning events from the 1990s, and then jumping to talk about the 1970s and the like.  I'm not an expert on this issue, so I don't feel comfortable doing it myself, but it makes for a fairly confusing read.  Also it seems like it might be good to restructure the Cross-Straight Relations section into something more chronologically based, and then have a section that is much more concisely focused on that particular issue, rather than the overall postwar history of Taiwan, as it seems to be now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whitneyzac (talk • contribs) 07:11, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

message: This template is off-topic. Even from the viewpoint that Taiwan is part of China, including this template is still far-fetched. --Matt Smith (talk) 02:00, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Look at the US History articles, they have a proper era articles with eras pertaining to major events. While I may add back the era infobox for now, why can we split the History of post-war Taiwan into two parts: The martial law era (1945-1987) and the democratic era (1987-present). -174.95.137.59 (talk) 21:51, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Similar articles (History of India (1947–present), History of Canada (1982–present), History of Germany (1990–present), History of Poland (1989–present), etc) do not use the era template. Matt Smith (talk) 04:32, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
