Taiwan's flag[edit]

For the record, the official website uses Taiwan's flag, not the Chinese Taipei monstrosity that is so offensive to so many people in Taiwan. Also, there should be a statement regarding Chinese Taipei being Taiwan in accordance with the compromise reached at the time of the Asian Games. 218.163.144.225 (talk) 06:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The section of the website dealing with the World Youth Baseball Championship (which I'm reasonably certain is actually a different site) actually uses the Chinese Taipei flag. I'm talking about the schedule/standings/etc part, not the toolbar across the top of the World Cup site. (I'm a little surprised that they're using the Taiwan/ROC flag at all, and given how long its been up that they haven't had someone point it out to them, as was presumably the case with the original World Baseball Classic site.)

As far as a statement about the naming, I'm not sure that's appropriate for this article. There's a statement about it on the team's page itself. I don't think that every page that has a reference to "Chinese Taipei" needs to have an explanation of why its not a reference to something else (whether it be "Taiwan", "Republic of China", or all of the above). If someone reading the article is either unsure what Chinese Taipei is or what it refers to, thinks it should be something else, or is otherwise curious about it they can click the wikilink to be taken to a page that does explain it. If this were a paper-based, physical encyclopedia, I might understand why there would need to be some sort of reference to it here - as a footnote or something similar - or at least a "see Chinese Taipei for more details", but not online here. I understand that there are factors here that aren't at play for other teams competing in the tournament, but at the same time there's not an explanation for why the United States isn't called America.

It just seems to bring attention to an issue that I don't see having a direct impact on what this article is supposed to be about: a baseball tournament. The name of the teams isn't important as far as the tournament is concerned: they could have all been competing as various emblems/mascots - the equivalent of playing purely as the Yankees, Padres or Brewers, rather than New York, San Diego and Milwaukee - and the same players would play the same games. Why bring the political issue into an article about baseball? Afaber012 (talk) 09:21, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The World Cup site has now been updated to display the Chinese Taipei flag rather than the Taiwan flag. Which for mine is even more of a reason to use the Chinese Taipei flag to the exclusion of the Taiwan flag on this article. Afaber012 (talk) 03:52, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
