Comment by 74.101.62.18[edit]

Note that Li Yiji's given name 食其 is read in mandarin pinyin as Yìjī and not "Shíqí": "食" when used as part of a name, is read as "Yì" in pinyin. The Chinese character 基 did not exist during the Han Dynasty, and the 土 radical was only added later, so 其 in ancient Chinese is read as "jī" in mandarin pinyin just like 基 in modern Chinese.

Wrong!!! Pinyin is only used for Mandarin. Pinyin is NOT a SPOKEN form of Chinese! Mandarin is! No such thing as "Mandarin Pinyin" because Pinyin ONLY used for Mandarin. When using it for other dialects, it's called "romanization" to differentiate.

Why did you have to twist the words around?!

I've read the original and it's not like that! Changing the words would change the original meaning. I suggest that the original be put back.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.62.18 (talk) 16:16, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced "mandarin pinyin" with "pinyin", if that satisfies you. I never "twisted the words around". I merely changed the wording. The meaning is still the same as before. Adopting an aggressive and accusing tone and writing in capital letters are counterproductive in resolving disputes on Wikipedia.

I think he / she wanted to say "Mandarin" instead of "Mandarin Pinyin" as Pinyin is not a spoken form of a language. I don't think using the word Pinyin helps, as Mandarin is the spoken dialect being discussed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.73.117 (talk) 00:54, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
