Talk:Italian game

message: I'm aware that the terms Italian Game and Giuoco Piano are often used interchangeably, and that these pages have been merged and un-merged a couple of times (see latest discussion here).
I’ve re-opened this page mainly to conform to the distinction made on other WP pages and in 
Wikibooks between play after 3.Bc4 and 3…Bc5, 
and also to give a seamless link to the pages on the Two Knights and the Hungarian Defences,as well as the Giuoco Piano. Moonraker12 08:03, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New Page

message: On the issue of the name (see discussion), the sources here are no more definite.
Bronsteins 200 Open Games refers to the Italian (G.P), but then in the first game described gives 3…N-QB3 , which is the 2 Knights!
On the other hand, Zagorovsky’s Romantic Chess Openings has separate chapters for the 
Hungarian, Italian (3.Bc4 Bc5), Evans and 2 Knights (4d4 and 4Ng5).
BCO’s chapter on this has sections for Evans, G.P II and 2 Knights; however the first section, laying out 3…d6, 3..Be7 and 3…Bc5 is entitled G.P I, but with a particular line, 4.d3, entitled Giuoco Piano.
My own thought, for what it’s worth, is that historically ( say, in Greco’s time) the Italian Game was all play after 3.Bc4, perhaps to distinguish it from the Spanish game, and the Giuoco Piano was one of the (presumably quiet) lines in that.
Nowadays the Hungarian and the Two Knights have a life of their own , and the G.P has expanded (and the Italian diminished) to cover whatever is left. But I don't have any evidence to substantiate that. Moonraker12 11:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: I’m also not sure how much play should, or can,  be included in an encyclopaedia entry.
Should we just be giving an overview, and referring , or linking, to other , much more complete sources, like ECO?
And can we include big chunks of detail on various lines derived from those sources and stay within copyright? Moonraker12 12:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I've seen you make these changes a couple of times, and I have to argue against them. 
* The definition of 'plot' necessarily includes the concept of 'summary' (see dictionary.com or wiktionary.com), so "plot summary" is redundant. Every statement of a plot is a summary, though some can be more summarised than others. 
* 'Footnotes' is a technical term that refers originally only to notes placed at the bottom of a physical page; I would argue it is now archaic for webpages. When in doubt, simplify: is my rule. It's the Taoist in me.--Alwpoe 01:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Chop Chop

message: I think that Chop Chop, meaning "to get a move on", comes from the Chinese seal. (The Japanese have something similar traditionally made of ivory). It is carried as identification and used for "signing" documents. A language depending on thousands of stylised images would be difficult to use to create a reliable signature, while authentication by a hand carved stamp would be difficult to fake.
A chop house is also a slang term for a customs office, a place famous world wide for delaying international trade.
I think it is most probable that "chop Chop" was used by frustrated foreign traders, trying to catch the tide etc.
Chambers dictionary (1998 edition) seems to agree with me.

Talk:Romance of the Western Chamber

message: Changed the title from Romance of the West Chamber to The Story of the Western Wing.  Both titles are suitable translation of the Chinese title Xixiangji, however, The Story of the Western Wing seems to be the only translated English title that has been published (by the University of California Press in 1995  ).--Thomasettaei (talk) 14:10, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Hart's 1936 translation (The West Chamber, a Medieval Drama, Oxford University Press) are among the earliest. Story of the Western Wing is not the common name, see .

Talk:Public holidays in China

message: Today I changed the name of this article from 'Public holidays in China' to 'Public holidays in Mainland China'. I am aware that Wikipedia has had a very long-running dispute about the correct naming of China, China-related articles in the light of the wider debate about the Political status of Taiwan and related issues. I do not want to re-open the wider debate. However, in the particular case of this article, 'Public holidays in China' is not clear enough. We need a page that lists public holidays in the Mainland, and this is it.
For example, Christmas Day is a holiday in Hong Kong. It is a public holiday in Hong Kong, which is in China. But Christmas is not mentioned anywhere on this page, because Christmas is not a public holiday in mainland China. 
An analogy may be helpful. Could we change Church of England to Church of the United Kingdom? No, because it is the state church in England, but not in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. We have a page on Politics of the United Kingdom, but that does not stop us understanding that the C of E covers a different territory from the UK. 
The official policy of the PRC regarding this issue is 'one country, two systems'. This is a 'two systems' topic and we need an article name that reflects that.
We may need to discuss incoming links from templates, most of which are from Template:China_topics. I would suggest that the link in that template continues to link to this article. Matt's talk 04:58, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Should it not be Public holidays in mainland China? 92.40.248.104 (talk) 06:40, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Church of England is not a helpful example, as it is the proper name of the subject. There are, of course, Church of England adherents and church buildings in Wales, Scotland, and even the United States. Speaking of the United States, the state of Hawaii celebrates Kamehameha Day as a public holiday, and the state of Alaska celebrates Alaska Day as a public holiday, but neither is recognized by any other state. Should we therefore rename Public holidays in the United States to Public holidays in the mainland United States? bd2412 T 14:38, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why not just call it Public holidays in the PRC (People's Republic of China)?? It's the correct naming, vs the Republic = Taiwan, plus the holiday schedule is released by the PRC government anyway, the whole country under its rule follows it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sluido (talk • contribs) 04:24, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As the country is called China. At least that's the common name, and after a discussion on precisely this the article on the country was moved to China.

Talk:Competency evaluation (law)

message: Hello editors, 
In reviewing this page, I believe we can adjust our perspective about competency, as it is much more than competence to stand trial. Competency can be very broadly defined as “sufficient ability” and therefore can be applied to a variety of situations (see: Weaver, C. M., & Meyer, R. G. (2019). Law and mental health: A case-based approach. Guilford Publications). This page regarding the idea of competence is framed more broadly (at least slightly) and I believe this page about evaluation and assessment of competency should follow-suit. 
There are legal competencies ("legal" in terms of legal consequences regarding that competency decision) more than just in relating to criminal trials and outcomes. Some of these may be competence to refuse medical treatment, competence to retain guardianship, competence to make a will, and competence to consent to research. Likewise, there are more areas of competency related to criminal proceedings (e.g., competence to exercise the right to silence, competence to be sentenced, competence to testify,  
Therefore I believe it is necessary to adjust this page's initial definition of competency, separate from competence to stand trial, and elaborate on other areas of competence. Esaiter (talk) 18:46, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Competence more broadly 

message: Hello editors,
In reviewing the distinction between this page and the boarder competence page, I believe that one way to distinguish this unique page's contribution would be to add a section that discusses various competency evaluation tools, such as the MacCAT-CA and others. What do we think about adding this section? Esaiter (talk) 23:15, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Public holidays in Taiwan

message: Most of the days listed on this page are not public holidays. It would be better if the page was titled holidays and festivals in Taiwan. Alternatively it could be changed to only list those days which are official government holidays. That would be much more accurate. Although undoubtedly some would try to argue for the use of Republic of China rather than Taiwan. As it stands this page is inaccurate and misleading. Davidreid (talk) 00:59, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most of these days are not public holidays 

message: These two articles seem to discuss the same subject. The public holidays in Taiwan and the Republic of China should be the same, considering they are geographically identical. These two articles should be merged. Neelix (talk) 15:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
