2022 Sri Lankan protests

Would you mind taking a look at 2022 Sri Lankan protests and give your opinion? FobTown (talk) 01:46, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Quit Canvassing when you are aware that Amigao has a tendency to remove any information positive towards China like all BBC surveys showing African positive perception towards China, and share your own bias to do the same. [1] Simpleshooter99 (talk) 02:18, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Amigao appears to be a subject matter expert in this area. And the BBC survey isn't being removed from the article, it is just being taken out of the lede. FobTown (talk) 01:40, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

No, they completely blanket removed it more than twice. [2] [3] There are no edits of them from either last month or recently, in simply just moving it to another chapter. It was complete blanket censorship of that info. Simpleshooter99 (talk) 02:51, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Consummate Technologies

Hello, Amigao,

Any time you tag a page for any kind of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/MFD/etc.), you should post a notification of this tagging on the talk page of the page creator. I see you are using Twinkle and Twinkle ordinarily does this automatically. So, please check your Twinkle Preferences and make sure that the box that states "Notify page creator" is checked off. Then Twinkle will post these notices. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:59, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Independent Online

Your recent editing history at Independent Online (South Africa) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

jrank.org

You are deleting an awful lot of sources without any discussion, sources that are very widely used here. I notice you're targeting subdomains at jrank.org, domains like http://sports.jrank.org. Please start a discussion at WP:RS/N, and then WP:RSP, and get a consensus. Until then, it's better to leave the sources alone. You may well be right, but this mass deleting is too disruptive and looks like vandalism. You've been here since 2009 and have a reasonable number of edits under your belt, so I doubt it's vandalism, so go through the normal channels. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:16, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Bizapedia

Why are you removing this ref as not a reliable source? Can you indicate where there is a consensus that established this? Seems to be nothing on WP:RSN on this subject. - Ahunt (talk) 18:46, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

My own checking into Bizapedia shows it to be commercial website that provides access to free information and more extensive paid information on companies. Their data seems to be sourced from government records and other business databases and appears to meet all requirements of WP:RS. Since you have not responded here, given any reason to think the site is not reliable and since it appears not to have been discussed at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard or listed at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources I will revert your deletions of this ref to the pages I am watching. We can discuss further if you can provide any information at all on the status of this ref. - Ahunt (talk) 13:01, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Actually, this source runs into trouble per WP:VENDOR and WP:RSPRIMARY. The source appears to be an ad farm that claims to access primary records but there's no verification of that. Also, uses of the source seem to fall under WP:OR. - Amigao (talk) 15:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

I am not seeing that. WP:VENDOR seems to not apply in this situation as they are providing at least some substantive information for free on a freemium model, not selling books like Amazon, as the examples there show. Also that content guideline does not prohibit the use of such sources anyway. WP:RSPRIMARY does not apply, as it is not a primary source. The businesses themselves would be a primary source, the government licensing bodies would be secondary, so this is a tertiary source. Using a ref that provides things like business start and end dates is not WP:OR either, as it actually states those dates and other data. OR would be if you went round to their address and saw that the business was closed. If you want this source declared "not reliable" then you will need to get a consensus at WP:RSN to that effect. - Ahunt (talk) 15:29, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Jin Boyang

You and another user "Horse Eye's Back" deleted a lot of content from this page without any discussion. It doesn't look like you've edited figure skater articles before. Could you please at least look at how other figure skating section articles are written before you delete everything we've been writing? A lot of the claims you've deleted like "His average program components score increased almost a whole point per component compared to the previous year" and "and won his first senior international gold medal at an ISU Championship" and "His placement is the highest of any Chinese athlete competing in men's single skating in Olympic history so far. At the 2018 World Championships, he placed fourth in the short program but dropped to nineteenth overall after ranking twenty-third in the free skate." are factual. Look at what is written in the 2018 World Championships link attached there or even in the detailed results table literally written in that page and you'll see for yourself when it comes to the third claim. How does it make any sense to delete what is literally written right there in the page as being unsourced? Please look at further comments in the article's talk page before you delete again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editor120918756 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Center for China and Globalization

The user "Amigao" in late November 2022 systematically deleted the neutral contributions to the article. The neutral contributions that "Amigao" deleted cited information from United Nations Economic and Social Council, Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, Bloomberg News, NBC News, The New York Times, woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars and European Policy Center - all of them reputable and reliable, non-Chinese government sources - which describe the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) as a "non-government(al) organization." While the neutral contributions have been added, the descriptions of CCG as possibly linked to China's United Front Work Department were retained in the article to show neutrality. The neutral contributions also cited the CCG's own "About Us" to present their version. The neutral contributions also cited one municipal government department of Beijing to show even Beijing considers CCG as a non-governmental organization. In that way, the neutral contributions showed all sides of the story. However, "Amigao" deleted all the neutral contributions and stuck to his/her version that CCG was "founded by" an organization under China's United Front Work Department from one single source. "Amigao" deleted all the neutral contributions with the excuse the neutral contributions are "promotion", which is absurd. Whether a major international thinktank from China is non-governmental or not is a material matter - and in this case, highly disputed. It most certainly is not "promotion." It is apparent that "Amigao" can't tolerate the neutral contributions, which come from reliable and reputable international sources that present all sides of the story in the open. It is highly likely that "Amigao" cannot refute those neutral contributions. It is unknown why "Amiago" insists on citing just one source he or she got. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reluctantbeijinger (talk • contribs) 02:42, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

2022 COVID-19 protests in China

It is so weird that cover-up can't be considered a neutral point of view as it has been widely used on Wikipedia to describe the responses by the Chinese government, e.g. Chinese government response to COVID-19. I don't really see a NPOV issue when looking at other reliable sources. Would you mind explaining your claim a bit more and perhaps tell more about your other claims regarding NPOV. Thanks!

Censorship of Wikipedia

Do you think this is a legit reason to revert? The material in question seems well-sourced. HollandManners (talk) 21:57, 30 November 2022 (UTC) [4]

Warning

Your systematic regular vandalism and removal of cited content to push POV has not gone unnoticed as evidenced in your overall [edit history] much of the time. You've used Monde to make a claim which was refuted by the African Union, China and Huawei. It was a weak story at best without much to startnd on as several members of the African Union refuted it themselves. But then you continue to push it. You claim to have a problem with me adding the part "Huawei addressed the allegations publicly and denied working with any government to exploit the system or present any backdoors." with a link to [5]. You then claim WP:PRESSRELEASE to re(mo)ve, Q: which one of those numbers is my edit violating of WP:Pressrelease? I want to be clear here. CaribDigita (talk) 01:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

CaribDigita, you should probably get your facts right regarding cleaning up a citation to Le Monde as opposed to adding it (which I didn't). - Amigao (talk) 03:09, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

You've literally just did AGAIN what you said you don't do above. You took my edit. Took out any references you personally don't like and then emphasized ones you do, which I wanted to illustrate just what I was talking about. Thank you yet again for highlighting your regularized form of censorship. That wasn't a copyedit my friend that was outright censorship again. The sources I added are WP:RS as you claim should be and reference the SAME exact link I had in the first place that you chose to censor. But then again your entire history is repleat of that. [6] CaribDigita (talk) 07:19, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

CaribDigita, you probably should review WP:PRESSRELEASE and stick solely to WP:RS. - Amigao (talk) 11:11, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I've reviewed both. Which do *you* claim that [https://www.huawei.com/en/facts/voices-of-huawei/statement-on-huaweis-work-with-the-african-union] violates under WP:RS ? Which item number specifically??? Because I know how you use these circular arguments. So which item # specifically does it fail? CaribDigita (talk) 15:52, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Citation cleanup

Hi — friendly reminder that when editing citations, it can be useful to make sure any edits are made in line with the existing style throughout the article, i.e. sfns at Special:Diff/1126229817. I've converted them. Also, I think in general it's probably a good idea to preserve citations to individual page numbers if that's how they were written, rather than merge them together into a single cite.

Request for reconsideration of sources on Hari Sen

Hi Amigao, I saw your post on the 'Edit history' section of my upcoming article on Hari Sen, and looked up WP: REPUBLIC TV. I understand. I shall avoid that. But I do think that an article that appeared in The Times of India on the same event that I used the Republic TV article for, can still be used as a reference. So I shall then use the Times of India article as reference. I hope that's not problematic. Best wishes. Apandeyhp89 (talk) 10:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Center for China and Globalization

Hi Amigao, thanks for your oversight on this page. However, I spent quite sometime to update and add factual and verifiable info on the page. I worked on this on my sandbox here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Padibso/sandbox

I then updated the page. The current version of the page which you reverted back has wrong and obsolete info. Also the organisation has recent activities as seen in the WP:RS cited. I'm wondering why you reverted the update. Please could you explain to me. Can you review the update on my sandbox and let me know what I can add or remove. Are there some lines that can be added to the current version?. Expecting your replies. Thanks Padibso (talk) 06:07, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

You might want to review WP:CGTN and WP:GLOBALTIMES first before trying to insert them into articles. Amigao (talk) 18:05, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much Amigao. I never knew those two were depreciated.. I really appreciate your help with this. I have removed those two refs from the draft. Here's the updated version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Padibso/sandbox

Like I said, my only interest is to update the page with correct and current info regarding the center as seen in the sources cited. Please, sorry to take your time, is there any other line you feel I should remove? I hope the write-up meets WP:NPOV? Can I go ahead to update if everything is ok? Once again, thanks a lot. I've learn something today. God bless.Padibso (talk) 19:24, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

If you want to lessen chances of reversion, it's best to discuss any drastic or controversial proposed changes on the article's talk page first. Amigao (talk) 19:37, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Amigao. I got your point. But, I am not interested in making drastic or controversial changes. I only make factual and verifiable edits in line with WP:RS and WP:BOLD. So, there's no need raising any issue on the talk page. I'll go ahead to make some of the edits. I'll avoid any edit that is controversial or drastic. Thank you for the insight.Padibso (talk) 05:16, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

List of Largest Political Parties

I take issue with your wholesale deletion, on 23 December, of my membership-description paragraph for the reasons you’ve given. I also note that my last publication lasted 5 minutes before the whole paragraph was taken down, which doesn’t seem to indicate the deletion was well considered.

Two points:

1. I agree that it would be good for the Party pages to include their criteria for membership (some do, many do not). However, this List page is a summary and is an ideal place to provide some context, as was my intention, by highlighting that there are major differences in counting methods, which contribute to a wide disparity in the numbers and percentages.

2. Re your comment on non-WP:GLOBAL language: This is a laudable aspiration, which I support, but it shouldn’t be used to discard relevant content (which I believe my membership paragraph is) just because my contribution wasn’t within that global goal. Yes, I used a comparison of UK and US practices, since they are what I’m familiar with, but it is given only as an example, and is noted as such.

I’m minded to undo your edit, but would be obliged of your re-consideration and comment.

Happy New Year. Kokopelli-UK (talk) 21:38, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Kokopelli-UK, your text could work nicely as a WP:EXPLNOTE in the article, but it is not appropriate for a WP:LEDE. Amigao (talk) 22:37, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Your point taken - thank you. Membership description footnote now added to the lead-in paragraph. Kokopelli-UK (talk) 14:48, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Who are you?

Are you a US spy interested in distributing propaganda on China? All your edits have anti-China bias. I think you should be careful about what you edit on Wikipedia. You might be an official from the US government secretly editing Wikipedia. 202.9.46.42 (talk) 18:08, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

WP:SPUTNIK Reference Removals Cautionary Note

Hi Amigao, thanks for taking the time to help improve Wikipedia. I noticed that you are keen to remove sources referencing Sputnik, using the WP:SPUTNIK reliable sources consensus.

I would like to try and direct your attention to the edit you made on SU-25. When you removed that reference, it was a named reference. This meant that the subsequent references that depended on the reference were broken. Additionally, you didn't remove the quotations that came from that source. Everything was replaced by a bot because of the broken reference.

I guess I would like to add that I don't completely agree with your wholesale edit removals of sputnik references considering at least in this article's case, the quotes from the government representative were reported by the state news agency RIA which is still currently itemized as "no consensus" on the WP:RS perennial sources list. Additionally, these quotes were picked up by reliable sources and further expanded upon, so it is possible that additional verification was made in order to pass the edit desk.

Happy editing. Inomyabcs (talk) 02:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

SASAC

Hello,

A parent company is a company that owns 51% or more voting stock in another firm (or subsidiary) to control management and operations by influencing or electing its board of directors.

SASAC is a special commission of the People's Republic of China, directly under the State Council. It was founded in 2003 through the consolidation of various other industry-specific ministries. SASAC is responsible for managing state-owned enterprises (SOEs), including appointing top executives and approving any mergers or sales of stock or assets, as well as drafting laws related to SOEs.

SASAC is neither the owner nor the parent of any of the companies under its supervision. It is a government commission, not an economic entity. The owner of all of these companies is the Chinese government, hence they are state owned as was stated in the infobox already. It is tempting to think of SASAC as huge holding company but that it is not. These companies do report to SASAC, but they are not owned by SASAC. Hence we should not refer to SASAC as the owner or parent company of any of the Chinese SOEs. Best regards Andro611 (talk) 00:55, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Deprecated sources

Hi, please do not remove deprecated sources or content sourced to them – WP:DEPRECATION is not the same as blacklisting: Citations to deprecated sources should not be removed indiscriminately (Wikipedia:Deprecated sources). Instead, you're welcome to tag such occurrences with Template:Deprecated inline. Cheers, — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:01, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

By the way, this is the second notice you've received about mass removal of Sputnik references. You not only did not respond to the previous one by Inomyabcs but continued with the mass removal. Please stop. — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:06, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

They are not being removed indiscriminately. Please do not restore deprecated sources (per WP:ONUS) and if you would like to have a discussion to un-deprecate a particular source, you're more than free to propose an RfC at WP:RSN. Amigao (talk) 13:51, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry but it doesn't work this way. You CANNOT just remove sourced text only because it's been taken from a deprecated source. And I doubt your rate of 1-2 edits a minute means careful consideration.

I ask you to stop. You've already been brought to ANI and even blocked precisely for the same behaviour, yet it seems you haven't taken this lesson onboard. — kashmīrī ^TALK 14:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Deprecated sources cannot be used to back factual claims, except in strict cases of WP:ABOUTSELF. Also, WP:BURDEN is a core policy that applies here and there are cases where a citation needed tagged is added when a deprecated source is removed. Amigao (talk) 14:44, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

HI Amigao. I notice you contnually remove topically-relevant content from Chau Chak Wing. Your edits offend a key pillar of Wikipedia - namely that no single user owns a page, and all have a right to make topically relevant edits or addition. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. I fiurther note that many of your changes constitute soap box issues that are based on speculation and unfounded commentary from 'think tanks'. This material is more suited to agenda driven blogs, not Wikipedia. Ripcord22 (talk) 04:25, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Paid editing WP:COI

Hello Amigao. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Fu Cong, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Amigao. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Amigao|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Herreshoffian (talk) 06:44, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

No promotion with Fu Cong. This is a bad-faith warning. Amigao (talk) 14:06, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

@Amigao: This reply "No promotion with Fu Cong." fails to answer the question. Do you "expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed"... "such as the one you made to Fu Cong". The words "such as" broaden the scope of the question to include any edit you may have made as a "paid advocate" on this platform. Are you paid or otherwise recompensed for your work on this platform? Herreshoffian (talk) 14:27, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Source for generic facts??

I'm having trouble seeing how one would either ask for or find a "reliable source" for something as generic as a list of who has held various jobs for periods over a decade (which would be announced on occasions years apart) or that a certain number of people were born within a certain range of birth years (data compiled by looking at their respective articles and present in the relevant 20th Politburo table). So I think you're being overly persnickety on Generations of Chinese leadership. Are you demanding a shedload of individual cites for every individual's age and appointments for what's supposed to be an article aggregating people by their age and career positions? 108.29.145.226 (talk) 16:46, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Articles "Government of China" and "System of People's Congress" are the same!

Hi

I've contacted you since, well, you edit many Chinese-related articles and also the politburo articles.

This is the thing: the articles "Government of China" and "System of People's Congress" are the same! "Government of China" is also very misleading - Government of China - means in China the State Council. It also has several inaccuracies, such as stating that China has separate branches of government. All communist states are based on the unitary power structure of the Paris Commune of 1871 in which there were no limitations on the powers of the Commune Council. This article is muddling the fact that the unitary power is the opposite of the separation of powers, and China only has one branch of government, the legislature represented by the NPC. All other state organs, from the Supreme People's Court to the President of the People's Republic of China et cetera, are elected by, answerable to and have no separate powers than those granted to them by the NPC. Notice that the Chinese constitution never uses the term "branch". The State Council is referred to as "the executive organ of the highest state organ of power [NPC]". TheUzbek (talk) 11:02, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Good points. I've made some revisions to make this clearer. Amigao (talk) 13:08, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

I suggest that we move the article "Government of China" to "Political system of China" or "Socialist political system of China" since I suppose you're against merging this article with "System of people's congress", and state clearly in the lead what the official name of the system is, and how it functions.

We can't, however, describe the system as "Marxist–Leninist one-party authoritarian political system".. What does this even mean? It does not describe anything really. It misleadingly states that China has one party, that the party has an ideology, that it is authoritarian and it is a system, but it does not say what kind of system it is. "System of people's congress" actually does, implied in that term is also "leadership under the CPC", which the lead uses a whole lot of text to describe.

Judicial independence. The point is, and this is also entirely lacking in the article, is communism implies "politics in command". The National Supervisory Commission is defined as a political organ, the Supreme Court as well, the State Council, et cetera. The whole point of the system is that it is not supposed to be politically independent of those in power. Instead of saying it does not have judicial independence we should say clearly what the system is. TheUzbek (talk) 15:48, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Moreover, "unitary state" and "unitary power" are to very different terms. Unitary state is the opposite of federalism. You can practice unitary power and practice federalism; Yugoslavia did it. TheUzbek (talk) 15:51, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Dominic Ng Biography

Amigao,

I am a relatively new editor and respect your long experience in editing. I am confused through that you undid the deletion in the opening paragraph of this biography that Ng was one of the overseas ethnic Chinese who were invited to attend a meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consulting Conference. Attendance at an inconsequential meeting, even if relevant as part of a bio, does not seem appropriate to be in the lead paragraph. I see that others have questioned that also and have deleted and you un-do the deletes. Thank you. Dpkpdr (talk) 18:38, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Amigao: consider this a warning. If you revert me without taking part in any discussion on the talk page, I will ask for you to be topic banned from all edits concerning living person. WP:BLPRESTORE is quite clear

To ensure that material about living people is written neutrally to a high standard, and based on high-quality reliable sources, the burden of proof is on those who wish to retain, restore, or undelete the disputed material. When material about living persons has been deleted on good-faith BLP objections, any editor wishing to add, restore, or undelete it must ensure it complies with Wikipedia's content policies. If it is to be restored without significant change, consensus must be obtained first. Material that has been repaired to address concerns should be judged on a case-by-case basis.

Despite this, not only have you continued to restore the material which has been challenged as WP:UNDUE for the lead of a living person, you have persistently refused to take part in the discussion or any attempts at resolution. While I don't care that strongly about these removals, I do care strongly that editors edit appropriately in articles about living persons and your manner of editing is simply unacceptable for BLP.

If you wish to continue to make edits concerning living and recently decease persons then you need to participate in the discussion when editors have raised good faith concerns, even new editors who may or may not have a CoI. Since most of the editors in that discussion who feel the material definitely doesn't belong in the lead are new without much familiarity with our policies and guidelines, it may be a brief explanation is enough.

But despite multiple attempts to get you to engage, you've refused to offer even that brief explanation other than some vague comment a long time ago which didn't at all explain why the particular detail is relevant to the subject of our article. This editing is simply unacceptable when it concerns a living person and you need to change how you handle articles about living persons or cease editing them preferably voluntarily.

Nil Einne (talk) 01:06, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

My edit was nothing more than a statement of fact, written in NPOV tone and backed up by WP:RS in the body of the article. While WP:AGF is an appropriate starting position, you should probably be aware that those driving attempts to remove that piece of information appear to be largely new WP:SPAs, including at least one with a declared COI so it's not certain that these are truly "good faith concerns" as you put it. In any case, we can let the discussion continue on the relevant talk page. Amigao (talk) 02:26, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Center for China and Globalization

Hello, @Amigao, I'm here for Center for China and Globalization. I'm concerned you have long been actively suppressing a more balanced description of the Chinese thinktank based on reliable sources. You have deleted content based on reliable sources without explanation. You have actively blocked any mentioning any one piece of its published works, including books published at renowned international publishing houses - many of which non-political - by citing WP:NOPROMO, whereas similar Wikipedia entries on thinktanks or scholars list many such items. You have also actively cited WP:NOTNP to block notable events from being mentioned, despite that similar events are freely available on U.S. thinktanks. It seems that you are not interested in WP:NPOV, but solely putting it in a bad light by blocking a more neutral description based on reliable sources, including leading international mainstream media. This is also something you appear to have done with other Wikipedia entries on Chinese mainland institutions.

Clear Bias

A review of @Amigao's edits show his or her clear bias against anything with alleged Chinese Communist Party and People's Republic of China government links, trying to put them in the worst possible light by cherry picking the most negative reports while neglecting and actively obstructing the citation of more nuanced reports coming out of equally reliable sources. The edits betray his or her shallow, all-or-nothing, black-or-white understanding of the CCP or PRC, mistaking Chinese people or institutions that try to exert positive influence within the PRC as "united front", influencers, if not infiltrators. @Amigao fails to understand the these people or institutions have to survive first and that means they must establish and maintain ties with the CCP and PRC government. Not caring about that at all, @Amigao insists on standing on some moral high ground and looks down on all of them. On institutions and individuals who apparently share the same narrow view as him or her, @Amigao cherry pick the most positive reports while neglecting more nuanced - and thus containing somewhat negative - content. 12.129.159.194 (talk) 05:04, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

November 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Confucius Institute. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Your reverts and warnings to User talk:Sladimort don't make sense, the paragraphs were duplicates.

"ZTE provides cutting-edge technologies and product solutions to consumers, government agencies, and enterprise customers around the world." Is this sentence promotional content? 182.64.218.17 (talk) 05:09, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Global Times as a reliable source

From my slight experience on editing articles here, edits containing a known unacceptable source can't be posted.

In any cases I have added the Financial Times and the Voice of America as additional sources.

If the Chinese, the Americans and the English all say that someone said something, it can be taken as a fact that someone said something. 108.26.243.70 (talk) 20:03, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Not exactly. You might want to review WP:RS and WP:RSP first. Amigao (talk) 21:22, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Ok! The reference to Global Times is gone. Any problems with the Financial Times or Voice of America? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.26.243.70 (talk) 22:02, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

No because both are considered WP:GREL sources at WP:RSPSOURCES. Amigao (talk) 23:21, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

G42 (company)

Hi! I noticed you recently made some changes to G42 (company) and I wondered if you had seen the discussion on the Talk page? The answering editor closed it asking for other editors' input, but there hasn't been any engagement yet so I thought I'd reach out.

The request went through rather a lot of formatting changes but I believe the easiest to read and assess is the 27 October version (under extended content).

If you could take a look at any of the points within this request that would be really appreciated.

If you have any questions please leave me a message on my Talk page Oddoso (talk) 16:52, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

dominic ng vote

Hello Amigao, I am not sure if the notification on the talk article got through to you. But if it did not, then this is to let you know your vote there for the lead proposal would really help move the conversation forward. [13] Or, if you wish, you can put the proposal that you prefer directly into the article as you have done so in the past and indicate in your edit summary that that is your vote. If you did receive the notification, then sorry if this message badgers you but I feel like I have to take this measure of directly notifying you. The discussion has dragged on for more time than anyone could have imagined it would, so I am doing my best to bring it to a conclusion HiFX (talk) 08:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Robert Lawrence Kuhn Page Edits

Hi Amigao,

Apologies for missing some of the conventional practices here on Wikipedia, I thought I added to the talk p[age already but didn't realize going to this talk page is convention. As you may or may not be able to see, I'm fairly new to this. I believe my previous points still hold as far as not having any kind of conflict of interest. Frankly, I didn't realize how much back & forth this would cause.

If there's anything I can do to help clear up the concerns, the only thing I'm trying to accomplish here is not letting my work go to waste. It took a great deal of time and reiterations for me to feel right & balanced by the contributions I made.

Please let me know what I can do! JoshuaJT (talk) 18:46, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey Amigao!

I've periodically checked for your response but haven't heard back. I figured I'd go ahead and bring my edits back into the world. If there's anything that stands out as an error, I'm happy to discuss!

Hope you had a great holiday and Happy New Year!

Best,

For wholesale deletions and re-writes, it's best to discuss on the article's talk page first. Amigao (talk) 02:35, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey Amigao,

I've tried to discuss it on the article's talk page but have not heard back from anyone. The wholesale re-writes you're referring to are a culmination of my edits that I worked on for over a month that out of nowhere got reversed. I've since been trying to make it abundantly clear that I have not violated any COI policy (I work in academia and I am not related in any way) and have contributed to Closer To Truth and Robert Lawrence Kuhn's Wikipedia as a fan of the show.

I'm unsure how else I can help clear things up. Please advise.

Best,

Josh JoshuaJT (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Stahlhelm edit: DRA

Hello Amigao, the source used to show that Afghan Army troops under the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan still used a Stahlhelm was actually a picture of Afghan army troops wearing those helmets. Would it still be considered unreliable? It’s no worries, I will look for more reliable sources. Thank you for your edit! AfghanParatrooper19891 (talk) 10:22, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Please stop the vandalism

I have noticed that you are engaging in vandalism on the Lenin Moreno page, arbitrarily deleting information. I ask you to cease vandalizing the page. It doesn't matter if you dislike RT as a source due to it being "Russian" or "leftist." Wikipedia is a neutral space, not a platform for political fanaticism or xenophobic behavior. I have also noticed that you vandalize the CGTN page with clearly political intentions; I request you to stop that as well. This is Wikipedia, not Trump's social network, Truth Social. Luparh (talk) 15:45, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Question

Just had a question about your edit on 2024 Ecuadorian conflict. I know that Telesur is deprecated (the notice popped up with the edit too), but per WP:TELESUR, it says "Telesur may be a primary source for the viewpoint of the Venezuelan government". Would it be acceptable as a citation providing a direct quote from Nicolás Maduro? It is not used as a citation "for factual claims" and I would never attempt to use it that way.

P.S. Thank you for your work on Wikipedia:WikiProject Reliability! Your response time to my edit was pretty quick, which is admirable. WMrapids (talk) 21:21, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Zhypar Zheksheev moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Zhypar Zheksheev. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because Needs citation for fact stated, plus attitional biography information such as Early life, more Career, Personal life, Achievements and honours (if any) . I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. JoeNMLC (talk) 21:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

March 2024 Undisclosed Financial Stake?

Hello Amigao. The nature of your edits and articles gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Dougieb. The template

can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: InsertName"},"4":{"wt":"client=InsertName"}},"i":0}}]}' id="mwAi0">

. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Dougieb (talk) 20:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC) Dougieb (talk) 20:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

No COI to disclose. Amigao (talk) 21:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Likely being paid by Sinophobic special interest group.

Seriously, what is your problem with me altering the language of CCP to the officially recognized CPC and Communist Party of China? Why are you, or whoever supposedly pays you, so so obsessed with "Chinese"-ifying everything? It's the political party of the PRC in China, and it has an official name, even though the American state department refuses to call it that. As an American citizen who has Chinese friends and respect for Chinese people, I think it is at the very least, our duty as decent people to respect official language and not intentionally scare and mislead about the true nature of China. Unless you're just some dude who really hates China, I believe you have vested interests in incessantly enforcing the disinformative, racist, and Orwellian "CCP" misnomering. If Wikipedia is truly an independent and unbiased organization, they should remove your glowing "twinkle" status. Sincerely yours, American, unpaid citizen who watches YouTube and gets news from a variety of independent sources, Han75 (talk) 00:58, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

CC my talk page

RE my last message:

Sorry if I came off as harsh in my post on your talk page. If truth isn’t on the side of my allegations of your paid sponsorship for edits on this platform, I will rescind them. However, I find it vaguely strange that the English speaking global population is to be misled about something as banal as the name of the political establishment party in China. I could call the US. Congress the American Capitalist Party, or I could revise KFC to be the Fried Chicken of Kentucky(FCK), but it would be different from all the menus. Even if the media called it the FCK, it would be wrong, and it would intentionally mislead Wikipedia users and annoy KFC corporate.

Why is it different with China? The institution calls itself the Communist Party of China, CPC, not CCP. Why do we have to be stupid on purpose? Han75 (talk) 05:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

It appears Amigao was 'cited' in the past('called out'-cited, not quoted- " " ) for conducting edits that were large & complex in rapid-fire fashion between edits on multiple pages as though the account is being used by multiple people (perhaps in a 'troll-farm' type setting), or some bot file style process that's undeclared officially. This according to the 24-hour block log on 22:39, December 27, 2020. I would not be surprised if there is a perhaps a CIA or military connection possibly as their account seems to be pushing official U.S. government talking points as I see it.

Even going as far as pushing WP:UNDUE to topics which have little importance in the grand schemes of things and then routinely accusing others of WP:COI for edits they do not agree with to get them removed from Wikipedia (and then removes the disputed talk page content to give the appearance the point was never raised here before.)

Resolving tags for an article you marked as promotional

You had tagged the biography of Sarah Chen (1958; Taiwanese Singer) as written in a promotional tone. The article also had a tag for needing citations. Since then, edits made to the article have improved the neutrality and resolved "citation needed" comments. Please consider removing tags from the article. If it is deemed that some issues remain, please provide advice on what needs to be done. Thanks. Sc2327 (talk) 16:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
