Disambiguation page

I would like to create a separate disambiguation page for other uses of "Datong/Tatung".

However, I would prefer just to have a single disambig page for both words, as they are (as far as I can tell- I do not speak any form of Chinese) simply different renderings of the same Chinese word in English. Does this sound okay?

Of course, we could not that (e.g.) it was probably *not* okay to call Tatung Company, Datong, but that is a minor point. Fourohfour 11:22, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are right about the Romanization of datong/tatung being the same. Datong is the official Hanyu Pinyin romanization of 大同, while tatung is a possible old Wade-Giles rendering, still in use some places outside of mainland China. Sun da sheng 05:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
