Talk:George Leslie Mackay

dead links in external sources

Removed two links that don't work:

• MacKay and Taiwan, in the website of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Canada
• "Oxford County Public Library; Oxford County, Ontario Canada -- Reverend George Leslie Mackay 1844-1901"

The page from tourism Oxford may be moribund as well, the site responds that it is down for scheduled maintenance. It said the same thing a week or two ago. Marfinan (talk) 01:46, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Mackay and romanized Taiwanese (Pe̍h-ōe-jī)

Every so often the claim surfaces here that Mackay invented Pe̍h-ōe-jī, the Minnan romanized orthography. As POJ was first used before he was born, this seems rather unlikely. I've just removed an image and caption from this article that claimed Mackay as the inventor. See the article on POJ for full references. Taiwantaffy (talk) 09:12, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Merge from George William Mackay

I am afraid George William Mackay is not notable on his own, there are very few sources, and it seems his life can be summed up on few sentences (based on available references). Unless there is more coverage in Chinese, I think he should be merged here (to a family section or such). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
