[edit] "Taiwan Army" as the common name?

I searched on google and got this:

• 16,500 for "Taiwan Army"
• 783 for "Republic of China Army"

I know we definitely shouldn't move the article because it's the official name, but shouldn't we also include the common name in the article?--Jerry 23:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation already exists in the first paragraph and Taiwan Army redirects to Republic of China Army. -Loren 23:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

What I meant was that we should add it so it'll look something like this:Republic of China Army, commonly known as Taiwan Army...--Jerry 00:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I think the disambiguation pretty much covers that issue already. No need to be redundant. -Loren 00:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I see that JerryPP772000 is pushing his POV for Wikipedia. This should not be done. Navality 05:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

TingMing (posing as "Navality"), I think you need to go see a psychiatrist - it's obvious you have some sort of obsessive-compulsive disorder with editing wikipedia, given you keep making sockpuppets to try to get around your ban. John Smith's 08:45, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

A report has been filed against TingMing/Navality. Nat Tang ^{talk to me! | Check on my contributions!|Email Me!} 10:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

And you are not the sole body to judge whether one is pushing a POV or not, especially given your only-worsening status quo. Vic₂₂₆^說 17:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling in the article....

Just avoid an editing war, what type of English should we use? Commonwealth English or American English? I'd like to hear you thoughts on this. Nat Tang ^{talk to me! | Check on my contributions!|Email Me!} 03:39, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I think that's not the focal point, so both of them should be fine.--Jerry 18:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CM-31 6x6 vehicles question

I'd like to inquire on whether they were produced for the ROC army or not in the 1990s. Ominae (talk) 07:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Its a prototype for a project that wasnt given the go ahead - the CM32 took over instead (read this article). Next time please don't add to the article like that if you just have a query. 82.32.19.175 (talk) 09:54, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to do an article about this in the future and I'm asking for clarification only. Thanks. Ominae (talk) 04:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Upper or lower case and general style

In the tables that list the various aircraft, missiles, etc and anon-IP editor has changed upper case descriptions to lower case ones. For example "maritime patrol aircraft" instead of "Maritime patrol aircraft". I personally prefer upper case, so unless anyone has strong objections I will change them over when I have the time. Otherwise please leave your views here.

Furthermore I'm not happy with the current layout of the tables - I also don't like the colour. if there are no objections I'll look into combining some more and changing the colour when I have the time. John Smith's (talk) 20:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Naming conventions

Please note that we use "Republic of China (Taiwan)", not "Republic of China (ROC)" as the former indicates the official name but at the same time making reference to the geographical location (i.e. the island) that everyone knows. Most people don't know what the ROC is - they think of China. So please don't change this. John Smith's (talk) 17:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edits by 24.85.227.16‎

This editor has been removing wikilinks from all three ROC military pages with no explanation. I have reverted his latest changes as vandalism - please be on the look-out. If he does it again, please report him. John Smith's (talk) 12:44, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CM-31

I think that the IP user 71.185.193.245 may be accessing out-of-date information. The CM-31 design was discontinued - read the following.

Globalsecurity report

It has been replaced by the CM-32 - no CM-31s were ordered from what I know. So I have changed the article accordingly. John Smith's (talk) 21:59, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
