Talk:Zhong Shan Da Xue Ji Di

Question about the title

Hi, I noticed the name of the title is Ikaluk not Zhong Shan Da Xue Ji Di. Is there a reason for this, I am not well versed in the systematics of ship names so I apologise if I have made a mistake. Tamopsis (talk) 03:45, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it's just me being lazy. I'll rename the article and rewrite the lead later today. Tupsumato (talk) 05:18, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, sorry for the disturbance Tamopsis (talk) 06:50, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. The article has now been moved to its current name (spelled as given in IHS Sea-web), but if someone more familiar with Chinese names could check and/or fill out the {{zh}} template similar to what User:Sheila1988 did with Xue Long, that would be super.

Thank you User:Tamopsis and User:Sheila1988 for expanding the {{zh}} templates. Could you do the same for the second instance after Beijing Ocean Leader as well (Chinese: 北京号破冰船)? In this case, the Chinese name may not be a direct translation of the English name that was painted on the bow, so the literal translation may also bring additional information with that regard.

Yes, it seems the Chinese name is "Beijing-named icebreaker." Sheila1988 (talk) 13:03, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I wonder if it's really referred to with that name in Chinese-language media... Tupsumato (talk) 13:31, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it. Is 号 meant translated into '-named' in this sense? The translations I found merely said 'ship suffix'. Tamopsis (talk) 23:49, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
