Chinese text

The {{zh}} template is lousy, since it inexplicably treats pinyin and simplified characters as separate languages. If people don't prefer the format I added, kindly use the {{Chinese}} infobox instead. — $Llywelyn II$ 22:33, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Is it really necessary? I know some newspapers have felt the need to clarify... but what else could it be read as? If there's no mistaken pronunciation people are likely to come up with, we should leave it for Wiktionary to take care of. Plus, our standard pronunciation guide is IPA which represents the sound ⟨ā⟩ as ⟨ei⟩ already. — $Llywelyn II$ 22:41, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
