Change dating system to Common Era

[edit]

I will be changing the dating system on this article away from the biased, Christian based AD/BC to the common era system.  This will bring the article into alignment with secular usage such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India.  If you object, please state why you are ok with the biased system here.

Before you go changing AC BC please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style, specifically MOS:VAR. Also, instead of hundreds of discussions regarding the changes on hundreds of different talk pages, get a conversation going here: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. Thanks!

Since it seems @Eupnevma went ahead and did this against MOS consensus, I intend to restore the page to BC/AD. Riposte97 (talk) 02:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed uncited content

[edit]

@Qiushufang: it looks like you remove content which was already tagged as uncited. Generally we only remove text when we don't believe that it is citable, is that the case here? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 05:07, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lock the page

[edit]

this page needs to have edit protection, given the topic can be potentially controversial. Also another talk page can be setup for the discussion regarding the history of the island. 184.145.61.182 (talk) 15:39, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop disruptive changes to section names

[edit]

184.145.61.182 please stop disruptive changes to section names. The article is already about Taiwan, adding Taiwan to section names does not add anything and none of the other polities are described as "Qing Taiwan" or "Zheng Taiwan" or "Dutch Taiwan". That would be redundant in an article about Taiwan. Qiushufang (talk) 04:10, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
