Talk:三民主義

Hi. The official pinyin spelling is sānmín zhǔyì (with a space) per Xiandai Hanyu Cidian. On the other hand, I agree that many Chinese people would recognize 三民主義 as a single word and prefer to write sānmínzhǔyì. (I wonder whether 無政府工團主義 should be wúzhèngfǔ gōngtuánzhǔyì or wúzhèngfǔ-gōngtuán zhǔyì, the latter by analogy with 馬克思列寧主義 Mǎkèsī-Lièníng zhǔyì in Xianhan ).

Do we need to set forth our spelling principles (in addition to dropping metric hyphens in four-syllable chengyu) explicitly? While adding quotations from the Selected Works of Mao Zedong with, I've been inconsistent in the transcription of 土豪劣紳, sometimes following intuition to have tǔháolièshēn and sometimes following official standards to have tǔháo lièshēn. Setting forth explicitly-stated spelling principles on the wiki could reduce inconsistencies in the future, both in and in. --Dine2016 (talk) 16:14, 15 December 2018 (UTC)


 * User talk:Geographyinitiative was a recent discussion about zhuyi. I don't have much too add, nor do I terribly care TBH. I think that it is all really based on personal opinion. I like consistency, but I don't think that this is something that can be made consistent. —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 08:02, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
