text: Someone has messed up the conversion table, e.g. the current year 2016 should be ROC year 105, not 104, and the ROC calendar should start from year 1, not 0. The formula should be to subtract 1911 from the Gregorian calendar year, not 1912. Could the person who made the mistake or someone else who knows what they're doing please fix this serious problem?--Julian Clegg  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.211.33.66 (talk) 07:31, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

It makes comparisons with the Japanese era calendar as well, which uses a similar kind of concept. Should the current table here be adopted in a similar fashion, if it makes explanation easier through comparison? --benlisquareT•C•E 10:55, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Table 

message: "When used to mark expiration dates on products for export, they can be misunderstood as having an expiration date 11 years earlier than intended." I doubt whether that is still the case. Before the Minguo calendar reached 100, this was likely to happen, as "January 23, 98" could be understood to mean "January 23, 1998". However, a date like "January 23, 104" is unlikely to be misunderstood as "January 23, 2004". I know, we have to find sources and stuff, but isn't this text a bit obsolete?

message: Currently every year in human history since 719 BC is labeled with its "Minguo calendar" equivalent. Since that on its own is probably the most prominent use of this dating system in the English language, the page should probably be returned to Minguo calendar where it was originally. It doesn't matter if it's more "rational" to have this treatment match North Korean calendar. If the thing's   is the "Minguo era" or "Minguo calendar", that's where this article should be. For what it's worth, (a) the North Korean calendar got moved back to Juche calendar itself after the "discussion" above and (b) the ngram for these terms isn't terribly helpful since it shows Republican era and ROC era are far more common than Minguo or Republic of China era but includes tons of other senses of Republican for the first one and tons of discussion of China during the period 19121949 for the second, rather than discussion of this era/epoch/dating system.
On the other hand, if ROC calendar really is what we're going with, someone should tell the year guys to go fix their lists. — LlywelynII 19:46, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
