Income[edit]

Is this annual income thing true? That statement and its author both look suspicious. See ([[1]])

Article[edit]

The entire article is just a listing of facts, which one can easily find using Google and is copied almost verbatim from another site. The validity of these "facts" is questionable. There is no article really to speak of. Comatose51 02:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Loyal citizen of ROC?[edit]

I removed the part labeling Lin as "loyal citizen of the Republic of China". I don't really see the point of that assertion. I also reverted the country back to Taiwan, since it's more recognizable term (it still links to the ROC). Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 10:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edited[edit]

Changed "Bing ChiLing" to "Bing QiLing". To the non-Chinese speaking, "Zhi" and "Qi" is probably pronounced as "Chi" (Chee), but this is highly inaccurate. "Zhi", "Qi" and "Chi" are three different sounds produced completely differently. Does anyone know who gave Lin Zhiling her English name (Lin Chiling)? --121.6.184.26 06:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lin Chiling would be a Taiwanese romanization. Hanyu pinyin (used in the PRC) would have it "Lin Zhi Ling" but in Taiwan "zhi" would be written "Chi" in Wade-Giles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.8.3.111 (talk) 13:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, note that Wade-Giles hyphenates given names: thus, "Chi-ling", not "Chiling". —Lowellian (reply) 03:45, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Overhual[edit]

This page needs a major overhual. TheAsianGURU (talk) 23:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name?[edit]

Is it Chi-ling, Chi Ling, or Chi-Ling? The article title uses one version while the article itself uses others. Mbinebri ^{talk ←} 16:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Lin Chi-ling/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

It is well know Chiling supports the Taiwan Independence movement. The previous edit calling her a "loyal citizen of China" was totally fallacious.
