Talk:Way of the Celestial Masters

message: The explanation of the name is inadequate:
*the ancient Chinese did not use pecks.
*a peck is not equal to a bushel
My guess is they used a measure somewhat similar to a peck, which has been adopted in English translations.--Grahamec 01:17, 20 December

The movement has been translated as either 'five bushels of rice' or 'five pecks of rice.' The usage of peck in scholarly literature is dominant. But you do raise a good point about them not being the same. Therefore for consistency, I changed bushel to peck. Zeus1234 01:35, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: "Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature."
Because of the fact there are more English language results under the name ‘Way of the Celestial Masters,’ I strongly suggest that the article name be changed back to its orginal form ‘The Way of the Celestial Masters.’ Even the Britannica article is under the name ‘The Way of the Celestial Masters’ Zeus1234 22:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion

message: As a complete outsider, I see the current name as the worst of three possible choices: Tianshi Dao (traditional name, which there is a movement now to favor), Tianshi School (a mish-mash of English and Chinese), or the original name. Xiner (talk, email) 20:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I wouldn't mind at all going with "Tianshi Dao".  But I think User:Zeus1234 has a problem with using "Dao" in the name.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 20:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would prefer that over 'Tianshi School.' My concern is that if it is changed to 'Tianshi Dao,' you (User:HongQiGong) will change all the other Taoist school articles from being for example 'Shangqing School,' to 'Shangqing Pai.' If you can agree that the names of the other articles stay as is, I will happily consent to a change of name to 'Tianshi Dao,' and forget about this dispute.Zeus1234 20:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I won't change the other article names without discussion, and I know we disagree on how best to name them, so I'll just leave them as they are unless someone else brings up possible name changes in discussion.  As for this article - so we agree on "Tianshi Dao"?  If so, would you do the honours and retract the change request?  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 20:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Moved the page as well. Glad this dispute is over.Zeus1234 20:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The name 

message: The Five Pecks of Rice Rebellion occurred in 184, the same year as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. They seem to be very similar, but this article says the Five Pecks of Rice Rebellion was successful while the Yellow Turban Rebellion article indicates that rebellion was not successful. Were they the same? Can someone knowledgeable about this clarify this issue? Wakablogger2 (talk) 07:14, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
