[Beijing/Peking] University
With reference to this edit (not by me!), the following is "for your information":
Although Wikipedia Naming Conventions states that "Mainland China place names should be in Hanyu Pinyin", this might have to be considered a special case, because the university itself uses the form "Peking University" on it's own websites: [1] [2].
I would infer that the original author obtained "Beijing University" from local (Singapore) sources such as this ST news report or NTU press release.
The official name ("Peking University") is most likely a holdover from before the PRC government standardised place names to be in pinyin. However I think it is correct to respect that it remains the offcial version of the name.
Your comments are welcome, as always. : Hamstersanonymous 16:57, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
