Remiscence

[edit]

The article originally said (my caps):

The garden is a gift by Zurich's Chinese partner town Kunming, as remiscence for Zürich's technical and scientific assistance in the development of the Kunming city drinking water supply and drainage.

I don't recognise the word 'remiscence', nor does Wiktionary. My first thought is that it is a typo for 'reminiscence', but that doesn't quite fit. The WP:DE article says:

Der Garten stellt ein Geschenk von Zürichs chinesischer Partnerstadt Kunming dar, mit dem diese ihren Dank für Zürichs Unterstützung beim Ausbau der Kunminger Trinkwasserversorgung und der Stadtentwässerung zum Ausdruck bringen wollte.

which suggests that 'as thanks for' is probably what was meant. Changing accordingly. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 08:41, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thank you. The garden was really a 'present' as the city of Zürich assisted the city of Kunming in the construction of their water supply and drainage infrastructure. Best regards, Roland 11:29, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Chinese Garden, ZürichChinese Garden, Zurich – For consistency with parent article, Zurich. I'd normally list this as uncontroversial, but it just went through RM so I thought I'd start a full discussion, just in case. Jenks24 (talk) 07:42, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Looks like the best option by WP:TITLE criteria, and fits consistently with other "Zurich" articles. NoeticaTea? 08:26, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
