I noticed that with your username on S.O., the orthography is not very consistent:

巴拿馬文件 六四事件 法轮功

should be either

巴拿馬文件 六四事件 法輪功 (ZH Trad)

or

巴拿马文件 六四事件 法轮功 (ZH Simp)

Hi ArcaneFractal,

Keep consistent orthography in Stack Overflow username: traditional vs simplified

Ah you are so right, even I knew 馬 vs 马 ...

Had copy pasted from wikipedia. Any idea why

Now I have to wait 1 month to change usernames on SO.

I think the orthography for the wikipedia pages differ because they are originally written in different orthographies. Wikipedia does not perform conversion automatically if you don't set your preference.
