Talk:Etiquette in Asia

message: Whoever wrote this, I don't think it's really all that accurate to say that it's easy to get a waiter's attention just with eye contact.  I've been to a lot of restaurants in the Philippines, and I only found good service like that once.  I'd stick my hand up in the air to summon a waiter and still nobody could get the clue, even after a lot of attempts.  Raising one's voice (not yelling, but just speaking louder) is the only way to get a waiter's attention.  I hate doing that, since that's just wholly inappropriate and I'm strict when it comes to proper form, but I don't have any other option.  I'm pretty sure that anyone who's been in fine dining in first world countries and compared it to the Philippines would agree.  Sorry if this offends anybody, but I'm half Filipino and I lived there from 1999 to 2001 there, and half of every year since then, so don't be offended; and, I do speak with a lot of experience here.  I'm just saying, that part in the article really just isn't true.  I'd change it but I don't know what to change it to.J.J. Bustamante 11:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the fact that Taipei has been referred to as "Chinese Taipei" really relevant to the fact that many residents of Taiwan prefer to be called "Taiwanese" and not "Chinese"? In my (admittedly limited) personal experience, I think the choice to think of themselves as "Taiwanese" or "Chinese" has very little to do with the fact that Taipei is called "Chinese" or not.71.107.71.62 05:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Asia comprises a variety of cultures: East-Asian (Buddhist), Indian, Arabo-Muslim, etc. And their etiquette is expected to be quite different. How should this article reflect those differences? Gantuya eng (talk) 03:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is written in awful style. Authors have confused Wikipedia with a guide book. I shall proceed to correct this. --Île flottante (talk) 14:18, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

message: It is obvious that this article will become too long. We should create separate articles for each country and provide just a synopsis and link here. (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 20:27, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm not a regular editor of Wikipedia, so I'll leave changes to others, but I clicked on this reference to attempt to find out more about the one minute moment of silence mentioned, and was taken to a blog about beating dealers / hosts in online casinos at poker and blackjack with a vague list of Turkish customs without references buried in the posts.   This doesn't seem like it meets the requirements for a reliable source either here or anywhere else.  I could just as easily throw a random list about Turkish customs on my webpage and I wouldn't believe it, either.   50.129.87.99 (talk) 02:19, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference to http://www.demokrasizemini.net/ under Turkey section doesn't meet standards for a good reference? 

message: Due to India being culturally diverse, there's varied etiquettes as well. For e.g the etiquette in states like Sikkim is very different to almost every other state and resembles the far east ones more than Indian subcontinent ones. Etiquette in dining isn't the only that exists. Penpaperpencil (Talk) 07:40, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
