TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's status as a country in Wikipedia was changed to "partially-recognised country" on Saturday (Oct. 1), China's National Day, before the page was repaired later that day.

The anonymous editor then concluded that "I see no valid reason to not also include the status of a partially recognised country to Taiwan.
