• Nominate and support -- Ranveig 15:48, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose --Thomas G. Graf 17:40, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Support -- Arvind 22:24, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose -- --Fanghong 04:05, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC) Since Chiang Kai Shek is a political feature and must raise a quarral even in Taiwan.
  • Relax. It's just a picture. We're not voting on Chinese independence from Taiwan here. --MarkSweep 09:57, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Indeed. Judge it as a picture, not a political statement. A great, PD portrait of Adolf Hitler (no comparison to CKS, of course) could also be a featured picture. -- Ranveig 10:47, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Personally I don't care Taiwan announce independence or not. I just warn his name must make a lot people unhappy both Chinese communists and Taiwanese separatists. Adolf Hitler though may be a featured picture but your try a Hitler "memorial Hall"! --Fanghong 11:39, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • So would you also oppose a picture of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall? --MarkSweep 18:15, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Sure! Any person who may arouse disputation should be expressed in NPOV. All memorial halls are not in NPOV. But this picture may be used in en:Chiang Kai Shek or be changed name as "Lantern Festival in Taipei". Who will care what the background building is.--Fanghong 06:45, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Please, let's not get into a political discussion here; I don't think this is a relevent place for it. I think people can express their opinion to support or oppose an image without detailed political background explanation. -- Infrogmation 18:45, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

What does the political symbolism behind Chiang Kai Shek have to do with the image being featured? David.Monniaux 21:20, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
