Talk:Chinese privilege

Strengths and weaknesses

edit

Right now, this article has some pretty serious weaknesses. Its substance largely consists of claims made by three activists plus quotations from someone's university thesis. Ideally an article should summarize the subject based on information from other reliable secondary sources. However, some credible secondary sources are cited, though they are not really discussed in the article and the citations themselves need improvement - as to dates, as to the nature of the publisher, etc. Fiachra10003 (talk) 04:09, 20 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

We've got the Singaporean prime minister arguing for the opposition, which seems pretty substantial to me :) I welcome better sources on all sides of the argument, but the "essay-like" template is not appropriate since that's about Wikipedia editors trying to inject their own views.

Worldwide view?

edit

AFAIK "Chinese privilege" as a concept really exists only in Singapore, because it's also the only Chinese-majority state that has a substantial non-Chinese minority. @Someone97816:, since you added the tag, what do you think is missing? Jpatokal (talk) 05:53, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Dont understand your point. As you said, "Chinese privilege" as a concept exists only in Singapore and the whole page basically just talk about Singapore. That's why I added the template reminding readers that this article deal primarily with Singapore and do not represent a worldwide view. Someone97816 (talk) 09:21, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
The template is meant for cases when the article needs to be improved because it does not adequately represent other points of view. If you agree that the concept exists only in Singapore, the template is not needed. Jpatokal (talk) 06:16, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
