I fail to see how "forceful and colorful arguments" from a lawyer constitute or lead to "notoriety". And if they did, where did he "gain" this notoriety from, perhaps the judge sitting on the military court? Or supporters? In the interest of brevity and to avoid the need to further contextualize the claim, I am going to change this to "...Chen came to be known for..." [[User:A-giau|A-giau]] 00:37, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC) |

The article says that Chen was born in the late '50s but wasn't issued a formal birth certificate till 1951. '51 is ''not'' after the late '50s. [[User:68.72.124.32|68.72.124.32]] 02:51, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

Maybe I'm misremembering things but....
I think it's important to mention that the street was originally named 'Long Live Chiang Kai-Shek Street' rather than merely Chiang Kai-Shek Street. This made the street renaming less controversial than it otherwise would have been. Also. he renamed a few other streets Shi-Min Jie for example.... -- Roadrunner
- OK..my bad. I didn't think they would keep 'Long Live Chiang Kai-Shek Street' around for so long after his death. I really don't know this.

- A Huaxia Economics article wrote that it was: Kuan-ch'ien Road (館前路) → Fu-ch'ien Road (府前路) → Chieh-shou Road (介壽路) → Ketagalan Avenue (凱達格蘭大道).
- Despite the article's informal tone and bias, I believe the names are correct. Although it seems to have missed Chiang Kai-shek Street (?蔣介石路?) that Roadrunner spoke of.

The aboriginal names of Chen Shui-bian need to be explained rather than just listed on the page (Why has he been given them? When was he given them? Who gave them to him? etc.) --Lowellian 17:55, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)
- The Taipei Times article answers your questions. I think they should be removed because they were only given recently as a political gesture and are never used. They carry no prominence and add little informational value. --Jiang 05:21, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I think leaving them is okay, as long as they're accurate and it's clear what they are. Even if they are a political gesture, it's still information. --Lowellian 19:41, Mar 30, 2004 (UTC)
- It's information, but useless information. As an encyclopedia, we should only mention the important points, not obscure details. There's a lot more other things we can cover. Leaving them there might lead people to believe that they're actually significant when theyre not. --Jiang 21:14, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Removed statement on the 3/29 interview with the Washington Post as this is a bit misleading. Chen didn't say that he planned to "make" Taiwan an independent, sovereign nation. His position and that of the DPP has always been that Taiwan is already an independent and sovereign nation.
His position has a whole lot of complex implications, which will take a paragraph or two to explain.
Remember that he is a lawyer.

I tried to write a NPOV summary of his positions and their implications. Someone needs to proofread for NPOV as I completely detest Chen Shuibian and some of that might have leaked through.
My POV summary of "Interpretation of his actions" would read "Chen Shuibian is either evil or stupid, and in either case he is a very dangerous man."
Roadrunner 15:20, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
I think we have a vandal, but I'll offer one chance for an explanation. By what criterion is CSB a communist? Among all of the nasty things his political opponents accuse him of, being a communist is not one of them.
If you change the article again without any sort of explanation, I'll block your IP.
Roadrunner 03:44, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
Yep he's definitely a vandal. There's absolutely no communism/capitalism discussion in Taiwan politics. It's all about pro or anti-independence. Economically, the focus has been on opening more opportunity for Taiwanese business to establish bases in China, and both parties like promising pork barrels to win constituencies. Chen is definitely NOT a communist. Just because he's anti KMT doesnt mean he's a communist. Wareware 00:34, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
notoriety for his forceful and "colorful" arguments?
Questionable characterization below:
- While his client Huang Hsin-chieh...and seven co-defendants...were all found guilty, Chen gained notoriety for his forceful and colorful arguments. He has stated that it was during this period that he realized the unfairness of the political system in Taiwan and became politically active as a member of the Tangwai movement.
I fail to see how "forceful and colorful arguments" from a lawyer constitute or lead to "notoriety". And if they did, where did he "gain" this notoriety from, perhaps the judge sitting on the military court? Or supporters? In the interest of brevity and to avoid the need to further contextualize the claim, I am going to change this to "...Chen came to be known for..." A-giau 00:37, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
