thread_title: Article title

message: One comment.  I'm absolutely amazed at the lack of English language coverage over the elections.  With the exception of some Taiwanese English language papers, the coverage by the New York Times, CNN, BBC, Time, Newsweek, and the Washington Post has been dreadful.
This wikipedia page actually is probably much better source of news than any of the above.

message: Does anyone know where the anonymous user 61.30.127.3 is getting his voting figures from? They are in advance of those at the government election website, which is spoiling my fun. Adam 11:05, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The figures provided on TV are also in the 6 million range, so I think the website is being updated slower. Just turn to your local Chinese/international television channel. --Jiang 11:10, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

By the way, is Lien Chan Mr Lien or Mr Chan? Adam 11:13, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

text: It's Mr. Lien, but since he has a Ph.D., it should be Dr. Lien. --

Quite so. Dr Adam 11:27, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: I think the referendum should be put in another article, ROC referendum, 2004. Objections? --Jiang 11:32, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It's for the sake of consistency. Given that the presidential election articles are under the ROC headings, there is no reason to do anything different for the referendum. The alternative names will redirect there.--Jiang 11:45, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split referendum article 

message: The names used are those given by the CEC. I suppose that's irrelevant since the real ballot was in Chinese anyways. "Kuomintang" is the common English name of the party. That's what the government calls it and what the party calls itself. The number on the ballot is relevant here. If the table's too wide, then there's something wrong with your browser. When I reduce my browser to half its width, the table contracts on its own. It's not too wide.--Jiang
Nationalist Party is also widely used and is in principle preferable in an English encyclopaedia. (Anyway surely it should be Guomindang?) If the ballot order is relevant this should be explained in the text. If the table is too wide for me it will be for other people as well. It's not hard to make it fit, I just don't know how.

thread_title:  Table of results 

message: I am a taiwanese and i find many false facts about the election of taiwan here.
mr. lien is not pro-china which is our enemy.but they want to force us to accept ONE CHINA(and "according to them" one china is prc) or they won't negotiate with us at all,and they also harm us by all means like pressuring many taiwanese bussinessmen having investment there and thus trying to force our government to yield. 
so Mr.lien's decision is a compromised one for economical concerns.
In fact, Tatwan,THIS LAND, is now already an independent country BECAUSE
she has her own land,citizen and her own authority. It dosn't matter she is not an UN member now because even switzerland have joined UN recently.
I guarantee that most taiwanese would totally agree to change the current name
"ROC" to "taiwan" or "formosa" if there were no threat of war from the enemy. they just continually try to confuse everyone with their propaganda "one china"
and hope that there would be no aids if one day they attack us by force.but I want to say the truth is unchagable that both sides are independent countries and surely they are different nations.

I totally agree with you. Taiwan is a very different country from China--Jerrypp772000 03:02, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

:When I edited this article back in early 2004, I added in-line links to news articles I used as references, but I think these were later removed. A look into some of the page history can reveal some references.--Jiang 04:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
