Talk:20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

Ding Xuexiang
I've been working on improving this article for a few months now, and I've noticed there appears to be an edit war going on between two users regarding the date Ding Xuexiang took office as the head of the Central Science and Technology Commission. The date keeps going back and forth between October 23, 2022 and March 12, 2023. Wanting to continue working on the article but also wanting to solve this, I began researching. The date for which Ding took office is not cited, so I went to see if it is cited in the Chinese version of the page, which it is not. Interestingly, the Central Science and Technology Commission (中央科技委员会 in Mandarin) is not mentioned once on the page. I then checked Ding's individual article, which does not mention it in the English nor in the Chinese. Furthermore, Ding is not mentioned in the English or Chinese pages for the CSTC. I guess my question is fourfold: was Ding misattributed to the CSTC in both articles about the 20th Central Congress, who is the head of the CSTC, what is Ding's position as a member of the 20th Central Congress, and why is there an edit war over the start date of a position it looks like Ding does not hold?

 * My interest is only in reverting edits of long-term and persistent disruptive editor Legende Legende Legende. I am not checking the correctness of their edits, and have no position on what date might be correct or verifiable. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 01:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm curious as to why you believe the IP address making edits here is this blocked user. As far as I can tell, the account you tagged has not attempted sockpuppetry since 2019. Regardless, both of you are in violation of the 3RR, and I'm going to have to report you if this behavior persists. Atop21 (talk) 11:41, 20 September 2023 (UTC)


 * It is based on behavior evidence; Netherlands IPs, China-related articles (frequently the same ones), large edits that tend to WP:COPYVIO, smaller edits that are tend toward WP:OR or WP:PROVEIT, etc. It has been going on for years, so I am familiar. The last named sockpuppet that I am aware of was blocked in June 2022, after which I was advised to report the various uses of IPs to WP:AIV for faster resolution (see the SPI log.) I have since done this when the amount of editing by LLL gets excessive or does not cause to much collateral damage to an IP range. (The last time I did this was 3 Sept 2023.) - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 13:59, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I see you have removed Ding entirely from the page, which I understand given what has been said above. However, I do not understand why you reverted my edit of Liu He's birth year. It is currently listed incorrectly as 1955, while his personal English wikipedia, his Chinese wikipedia, and Baidu list his birth year as 1952, how I had it.

 * Apologies, I messed up. I've restored your change. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 18:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thank you! Atop21 (talk) 20:30, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
