tao or dao[edit]

Elsewhere on Wikipedia Dao seems to be favored as the romanization for 道 because Dao is what is used in Hanyu pinyin. This page uses tao which is from the outdated wade-giles system. It seems this should be changed. Nosterp2145 (talk) 04:08, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

excessive reliance on one source[edit]

When half the citations are from one book, I wonder about objectivity. The fact that the history is completely at variance with other sources is not something I'm qualified to address. But I suggest this page needs to be looked at by an objective expert. 24.8.116.137 (talk) 18:36, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
