Help needed finding Chinese journal articles (only have English translation)

I would like to read the following articles (the author translated them into English):

• Li, N., 2011. Reflections on the SWAT team development in a new era. Police Combat Training Research 4, 65–67 ([Journal Info Translated from Chinese]).
• Shi, J., Wang, W., 2011. Loyalty and fearlessness made the public security soldiers - a chronicle of the development of the SWAT police nationwide. China Emergency Management 11, 2 ([Journal Info Translated from Chinese])
• Xiao, Y., 2007. Practice and thinking about mormalization of SWAT team police. Public Security Research 6, 82–86 ([Journal Info Translated from Chinese]).
• Xu, H., 2010. Reflection on how to enhance the SWAT team development. Jiangdong Tribune 3, 55–57 ([Journal Info Translated from Chinese]).

I tried searching online in Chinese but had no luck. They are probably not available online. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Melbguy05 (talk) 07:25, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Romanization of Taiwanese names

If I'm romanizing the name of a Taiwanese person and there are no English sources available, which system should I use? Wade–Giles, Tongyong Pinyin, Hanyu Pinyin, or something else? Thanks. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 04:14, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Based on my impression of the majority of articles I see, I think using Tsai instead of Cai, or Hsu instead of Xu, for instance, would be least likely to stick out. Which is to say, a sort of Wade–Giles that omits diacritics. Formally and prescriptively, I don't think we have a conclusive rule on this, and would rather not try to make one. I think, descriptively, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese)#People is more or less right about the issues that it mentions, although it doesn't exactly answer your question.

Alright, I'll go with Wade-Giles then. Thanks a lot! I feel like there should be some kind of guideline for this, though. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 12:42, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
