<< review queue entry 49279 - submitted by 'shenyixuan' >> Wp～ The Ministry of Personnel (Chinese: 吏部; pinyin: Lì Bù) was in charge of appointments, merit ratings, promotions, and demotions of officials, as well as granting of honorific titles.[1] Editor: yes, I understand how you would believe that Wp has the final word in saying how a Chinese term should be translated However: 1) it's likely that such terms as 吏部 have received various translations at different times. 2) it's unlikely that the contributors to Wp are knowledgeable about the subject 3) it's easy to check that "Ministry of Appointments" does appear in print in *some* English-language books 4) you are not providing any element to show that the Wp terminology is to be preferred to any other; or that our entry is definitely wrong. 5) this is all a waste of our time; as well as a childish pursuit. |
