Beijing-Kowloon Through Train service

Re [1] - The fact that the through train service is provided on the Jingguang and Guangshen lines is obtainable from the ticket office, or from anybody who's actually taken such a journey. — Insta ntnood 23:24, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added Jiujiang in the full name.KJ (talk) 15:15, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Use full descriptive name of railway for the article names of railways in China

For article names of Chinese railways, the full name of the railway (i.e. both terminal cities) should always be spelled out, rather than merely the two character abbreviation. When the abbreviations are transliterated into English, essential identifying information is lost. E.g.

Xiangyu, Xianggui, Xiangpu Railways all have different “Xiang” characters;
Xianggui and Guikun Lines have different “Gui” characters;
Yiwan and Yijia Lines have different “Yi” characters;
Yiwan and Wangan Railways have different “Wan” characters;
Yuli and Yucha Railways have different “Li” characters;
Banlan and Baocheng Railways have different “Bao” characters;
Lanxin and Lanyan Lines have different “Lan” characters;
Jiaoji, and Jiaoliu Railways have different “Jiao” characters
Jiaoji and Jitong Railways have different “Ji” characters;
Jitong and Tongpu Lines have different “Tong” characters;

The list goes on and on. Many English readers may be unfamiliar with one-character abbreviations of certain Chinese cities and provinces. So Yu for Chongqing, Hu for Shanghai, Jiu for Kowloon adds to the confusion. For consistency and clarity, Wikipedia article names of Chinese railways should always feature the full names. In-article references can use abbreviated names. The only exception may be the Longhai Line, which has become a two-character word in itself. ContinentalAve (talk) 17:11, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Take this to WT:NC-ZH. For now, your move is unilateral and against NC-ZH (the naming conventions). --HXL's Roundtable and Record 21:21, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The result of the move request was: page moved already. I'm closing the discussion and I've moved this talk page to match the article. - GTBacchus^(talk) 18:32, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

– Per WP:NC-CHINA, railway names whose characters represent abbreviations of city names should be written with the full city names in English. I've tried to perform this move but it won't work because the redirect page exists. I must be missing something because as simply a redirect page it should still work. –Nav ^{talk to me or sign my guestbook} 22:11, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support per agreed-upon change of policy. You could have instead tagged the re-direct with CSD G6 (page move). —HXL's Roundtable and Record 23:00, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ahh thanks, I was looking for the CSD earlier but couldn't find the right one for moving the page. I will have to mark it if I run into these troubles again. –Nav ^{talk to me or sign my guestbook} 01:25, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
