Romanization section

The section on Romanziation is taken from a footnote in Homepathy/Draft. I will post justification for this edit on Talk:Homeopathy shortly. –Tom Morris 11:49, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Italics

So is "qi" italicised or not? The article is undecided. It is certainly easier to read without the italics, at least on my browser. Ro Thorpe 01:06, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps a Chinese linguist could make the call? We probably should, at some time, make a style guideline about non-English words. Howard C. Berkowitz 01:32, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
This is about English, so no Chinese linguist needed. If it is a non-English word, it gets italics, if not, no need. Italics should be for introducing new alienesque words, not for the subject of the article. And there's the question of readability: italics, especially for such a tiny word much repeated, look horrid. Ro Thorpe 02:32, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
