Hi, peter000. You can't paste in material from User:Jpech95/taiwan/Taiwan (island), as that loses the chain of attribution required by Wikipedia's licensing (and that chain can't run through userspace). That version is derived from an old version (last December) of the article now at Taiwan (island). In addition, the live article has been significantly improved since the copy was made. It might be good to join in the discussion on this section at Talk:Taiwan#History section. Kanguole 13:09, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, my apologies! Thanks for letting me know. I got the versions mixed up, I meant to copy from the actual Taiwan (island article (I think that's where the image in the religion section comes from?). Shall I delete the history section or replace it with newer content? -- --Peter ^{Talk page} 13:34, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I deleted the copy. By the way, the attribution requirement can be met just by saying something like "copied from Taiwan (island)" in the edit summary (as long as it's from a mainspace article, not userspace). Kanguole 13:45, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think I'm right—see this page (linked from the front page of Taiwan Affairs Office), for example, which includes the following:

"After replacing the government of the Republic of China in 1949, the government of the PRC has become the sole legal government of China, enjoying and exercising sovereignty over the whole of China, including Taiwan."

Please consider reinstating my edit. Also, unless you also disagree with the second change, please don't just revert the entire edit in the future. :/ wctaiwan (talk) 17:47, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, although I admit I may be wrong, China claims sovereignty over Taiwan but doesn't currently exercise sovereignty, in practise (ROC does, de facto). Therefore it believes that Taiwan should be under Chinese sovereignty. See Political status of Taiwan.
P.s. I realise that edit was marked as 'minor'. That was a mistake, so ignore that. -- Peter ^{Talk page} 18:38, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think "claims Taiwan to be under its sovereignty" = "claims sovereignty over Taiwan", but this is really becoming an argument of semantics. :P Either way, it looks like someone else has reverted you. I'm not going to fight to keep my version as it's rather trivial, and I only brought it up here because I thought you were not aware of the subtle points of PRC's stance. Feel free to bring it up with others if you still don't think the change is correct. Thanks. wctaiwan (talk) 01:09, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if two people have disagreed with the edit and it's been reverted I was probably wrong. Sorry about that. -- Peter ^{Talk page} 11:42, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it's a big improvement with some pictures. JoshuSasori (talk) 10:06, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
