[edit]

Treysand, iTunes is not an authority on the Chinese language, and any of their mis-spellings or use of older transliteration systems should not be carried over. The official transliteration form for Chinese Mandarin into English is Hanyu Pinyin, in both the Republic of China on Taiwan and the People's Republic of China on the Asian mainland, and has been for some time. This article was created after Hanyu Pinyin was made official in both countries, and refers to events happening after the system was made official. Please stop harassing the Miu Zhu page. "Miu Chu" is a transliteration using the Wade-Giles system, which has been out of favor with Chinese speakers for half a century. Wade-Giles is the reason people call Nanjing "Nanking", or Guangdong "Canton" or Beijing "Peking". PLEASE STOP. You also removed about three quarters of the information that was added and called is a "minor" edit, which is hardly the case. Please cease and desist.  Preceding unsigned comment added by The Mattador (talkcontribs) 18:57, 17 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Pinyin vs Wade Giles

[edit]

The page has been moved several times. as the page was created AFTER Pinyin became standard for both the People's Republic of China and Republic of China on Taiwan, and the preference of the vast majority of Chinese speakers, both native and bilingual, is for pinyin, the page should henceforth remaining pinyin. All of the sources, references, and citations use Pinyin. As a transliteration method, Pinyin is more accurate, especially for the name in this article. If a determination is later made from a higher authority to change the name back to the out-dated Wade-Giles system, please do not change the content of the article.
