Ta-China Government Bank

@Zanhe:, I have no idea where to ask this as I am not allowed to use any help desks or WikiProjects so I'll ask you. I am planning to write an article about the Qing Dynasty era Bank of the Board of Revenue / Ta-Ching Government Bank but that bank today is the Bank of China / Mega International Commercial Bank and while the Ta-Ching Government Bank has a separate article on the Mandarin Chinese Wikipedia it doesn't here and I am not sure if that is customary here or if it should be included only in the history sections of those articles.

Your insight would be very appreciated. --Donald Trung (talk) 07:58, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

That depends on how much content you're planning to write. It's certainly possible and advisable to write a substantial separate article on the Daqing/Ta-Ching Bank (there's quite a bit of info in The Cambridge History of China alone). If you only plan to write a short stub (which is unlikely given your past work), then it's better to make it part of Bank of China for now. By the way, thanks again for your sustained contributions to coinage/banking in Asia! -Zanhe (talk) 08:12, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
@Zanhe:, no, thank you for all of your work. I am mostly planning on writing an article that covers the Qing Dynasty period of the bank, the post-independence era is covered by the existing articles. Also my main motivation for writing that article is because I want to write a translation of w:zh:大清银行兑换券 (link),with some additional information, which would be rather weak without there also being an article about the issuing bank. --Donald Trung (talk) 08:18, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
