Talk:Chen Yonglin

Untitled
Could we please take the dispute to the discussion page?

There might indeed be Chinese sources that should be reflected -- but the Chinese-language Wikipedia article seems more appropriate. I'm in favor of limiting this English-language page to information that can be confirmed by any English-speaking reader. If English readers cannot confirm the information, they'd be justified in thinking it was all propaganda. ...the English-language sources might be propaganda, too, but at least we can point to another source, to blame. :)

Okay, this is certainly a start. I've removed the "Recently contact was made with an real estate agent of Lan Meng, who claimed that he spent time searching for a job and studying at the time he was allegedly kidnapped and returned to China." statement, as as far as I can see, it is still unsourced. I've rewritten the Hao Fengjun section, incorporating virtually all of your additions, as the whole section was badly in need of a cleanup anyway. I've also linked Bernard Collaery, Hao's lawyer - he's quite notable in his own right. Finally, I've removed the line about Chen's supporters as not neutral. Falun Gong have expressed support for his stance, but it was worded as if to suggest that he was their puppet, and the mention of the Australian Greens and Australian Democrats was dismissive of them and their role.

Problems with article
I really don't think that the words "bloody supression" belong to an article. Also the claims of a spy ring should remain an allegation, as it was never proven.--PatCheng 14:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * What's wrong with "bloody supression"?, and what would you replace the phrase by? Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 14:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I thinks something more neutral is needed, such as crackdown or jus supression. "Bloody" is overdoing it.--PatCheng 14:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Memorials of the protests are given not simply because Chinese citizens protested their government but because they were put down violently. That fact is ascertained most relevantly by the date chosen, June 4th.  That this constitutes "suppression" is quite neutral, and that it was "bloody" is verifiable even in parsed footage and in every reputable account of events.  What is not acceptable are words like "massacre" which, though appropriate and widely accepted in this particular context, are emotive and should be avoided when possible.  It is also unacceptable to remove events from their context and neutralize information to give the reader a misperception.  The link to the protest article was already given.


 * As for the spy network, the article is careful to attribute claims and the reader is not misinformed on this point. However, the question of the existence of a Chinese spy network is not seriously contested.  What is contested is the size of it and who is operating under its auspices.  --TJive 15:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

to me neutral doesn't mean nice or wishy washy it means factual. If a suspression involves bloodshed then it is a bloody supression. Crackdown does not mean the same thing at all. A school may decide to have a crackdown on bubble gum chewing for example. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 17:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The alleged live organ harvesting allegation Chen repeated is Falun Gong propaganda that has since been discredited by US State Department investigation, as well as anti-CCP activist Harry Wu, founder of Lawgai Research Foundation.


 * As this article is about Chen and not the substance of his allegations, the solution is to cut away all excess information that tries to confirm or refute them. To this end we can direct people to Falun Gong and live organ harvesting and leave that page as the site for discussing the validity of the claim.  Likewise, we can refer to the "rally commemorating the 16th anniversary of the deaths in Tiananmen Square".  "Bloody," I'd agree, has an emotional charge to it that we can avoid; "deaths" is no less true, and again it's best to hash this out on its own page.  With these changes, there should be no problem with me removing the POV marker.  Adam 03:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Chen, is regardless of nature, among the most well known of Chinese currently active in Australia, how is it possible that wikipedia does not have a section on his image among local Chinese communities both Falun Gong and non Falun Gong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.103.236 (talk) 16:26, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

You need sources. See the core wikipedia content policies WP:V and WP:OR.--Asdfg12345 22:32, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
