G2

Hello, I can see you strated the G2 article and I did some work on it further. Would you like to see if you can find some more articles to cite with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.23.144 (talk) 03:53, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Canada

So you are Chinese who loves China, hates White people and the West, yet live in Canada? I guess at least in Canada you are free to propagate your beliefs on the internet and have suffient material wealth to possess a computer to do so, unlike most in China.

Economic history of China (pre-1911)

Hey, I know you've reinserted the quotes but during the FAC it was made clear that they were not appropriate in that article; I have moved it elsewhere. Please don't reinsert it.Teeninvestor (talk) 17:15, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Greater Tibet

What kind of a stupid Chinese move is that? Tibet was never known as "Greater Tibet". Stop POV pushing just to support the Chinese notion that "Tibet was never independent. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 17:23, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

No it doesn;t. It has never been called Greater Tibet. The province today is officially the Tibet Autonomous Region or Xizang. We already made this very clear at the top with a note that said this article is about historical/cultural Tibet. For the modern province of China see Tibet Autonomous Region.. The article on Tibet is about the loose nation that once existed although its actual boudnaries are disputes as indicated in the map. Moreover you discussed none of these major changes you were going to make, otherwise you'd have got a swift no from most of us here.. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 17:31, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Please use the talk page to get consensus before making major changes to any articles on Wikipedia. Bertport (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Largest exporter

Google is not a source, World Fact Book is, not only a reliable one, but the very source for the article which lists countries by exports is entirely taken from. Bambuway (talk) 23:39, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Only the source which the article is taken from can be used, such as IMF for GDP figures, not Google. Besides, you never got consensus for the change. Bambuway (talk) 23:50, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Not just TAIWAN

Please aquainten yourself with the Wikipedia naming guide for the country you call Taiwan. I had to revert you several times on this issue. If you continue this behavior, I will have to consider your actions as vandalism and notify the administrators board. Tomeasy _{T C} 18:10, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

File:Execution in China.jpg

hello. is it "in the 1980s"? if so, testify, please. thank you.http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AExecution_in_China.jpg&action=historysubmit&diff=339808728&oldid=331884450--NederlandsNederlands (talk) 13:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Reminder with regard to user warnings

Hello, It appears that you've been engaged in an edit war with User:WikiLaurent at his talk page about user warnings. Two things I wanted to point out; first, it's generally a bad idea to template the regulars, and second, users are allowed to remove warnings from their talk pages so that such do not become a "badge of shame." Thank you. Ngchen (talk) 23:51, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so i will do the same on my talk page. Polylepsis (talk) 13:44, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Minor edit

Hi there Polylepsis. The last three edits you made to the PRC article you market as minor edits. You should only do it when there is no change of content, only wording, order of text, etc. For more detailed information, check Help:Minor edit. Your changes were correct, but you should not have marked them as minor, since they involved a change in content ("one of the world's fastest growing economies" and "the world's fastest growing major economy" are very different phrases). Thank you and good editing! Uirauna (talk) 18:09, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I can see that the new wording is exactly what the "reliable" source (BBC) is telling us. So the case seems quite obvious. However, what does fastest growing economy mean? How is it measured? My guess would be that percentage-wise change of GDP from one year to the next is the measure that is commonly understood by economic growth. Well, with respect to this definition a large country like China is of course not the extreme case in the whole world. There are always some very small countries that, for one or the other reason, have GDP growth beyond 20% within one year. So, I am afraid that the BBC itself was not very clear about what they mean, or they neglected some countries.

Nevertheless, since the source is cited just behind the statement, I think we are fine with the exact wording, even though it is wrong if looked upon with precision. Tomeasy _{T C} 19:24, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I see that in our article the qualifier G20| major economy has been added to the statement. that solves the whole issue of course perfectly. I am proud to say, our article is better than its source ;-) Tomeasy _{T C} 19:26, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

PRC

You seem to be not getting the point. When an edit is challenged, go to the talk page and WAIT for consensus before making further changes. You have just broken the WP:3RR, but I'm not reporting you to the administrator yet. Please try to behave and stop edit warring. Thank you. Uirauna (talk) 12:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Wang meng.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Wang meng.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 16:19, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Photo caption you reverted

• Human rights in the People's Republic of China
• Capital punishment in the People's Republic of China
• File:Execution in China.jpg

The photograph you have reverted comes from this source [1]. You have to press The extremely graphic execution can be viewed by clicking here. to see the photos. According to the text, the woman's first murder was either in 1995 or shortly afterwards. Therefore the photo cannot date back to the 1980s.--Toddy1 (talk) 21:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

February 2010

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to People's Republic of China. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Please stop removing sourced content from China's articles.
