Note

I'd like to point everyone to a discussion between Horikawa and myself where I requested Horikawa to start a discussion regarding a possible misspelling of this and other articles. Please discuss it here. Pmlineditor Talk 09:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please check Hsinchu city (http://en.hccg.gov.tw/), Taichung city (http://english.tccg.gov.tw/), Jhongpu (http://jhongpu.cyhg.gov.tw/) and Sinhua (http://www.sinhua.gov.tw/) government's websites. Horikawa (talk) 09:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What the websites say is irrelevant - central government makes the rules regarding naming conventions. Taiwantaffy (talk) 10:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
