The "fully" sentence was added by me after I requested to move the page. At the time, I thought it was self-evident, but in fact, it is not very rigorous. There is no explicit abbreviation-to-full name relationship between the two terms. Similarly, the "long name" mentioned in the "Nomenclature" section below is not written that way either. @Matt Smith: ?8 (talk) 13:51, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Matt Smith:
If you repeatedly disregards other editors' questions or requests for explanations concerning edits or objections to edits, your edits will appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. See WP:DISRUPTSIGNS 4.a. . ?8 (talk) 15:58, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I can't recall that I saw the previous notification of your pinging me, or maybe I saw it and quickly forgot it due to having to handle other things first. I have no objection to your proposal. Lastly, I would like to point out that your use of "repeatedly" is inappropriate because I almost don't disregard questions, let alone repeatedly doing that.

- The word "repeatedly" is quoted from the original text and may not fully apply to your situation. Additionally, the sentence begins with "if," which does not imply that you have already engaged in such behavior. If this has caused you any trouble, I sincerely apologize. ?8 (talk) 08:29, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Incorrect Chinese chars?
[edit]In section <Taiwan related territory terms>, the second table column (<Taiwan>) seems to have the wrong Chinese chars. Instead of 臺灣, should it be 臺灣地區? Kevinarpe (talk) 13:17, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
- If the Chinese should be 臺灣地區, the English would need to be Taiwan Area accordingly. Matt Smith (talk) 02:49, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
