Talk:Xiaomanyc

Fraudulent
This article doesn't really address the fact that he's a fraud who uses shortcuts to appear fluent while in reality being a one-trick pony. Surely this should be added? Bens dream (talk) 12:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * To elaborate on this (because for some reason people seem to think it's appropriate to revert the above edit without providing any kind of reason), his leading sentence says he's a "polyglot", which is demonstrably false. Something like "self-proclaimed polyglot" would be far more accurate. Bens dream (talk) 15:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, so where are your sources for this because so far it sounds like just opinion. It verges on slander. Do your sources satisfy WP:RS and not WP:OR. Do they comply to satisfy WP:NPOV? Snickers2686 (talk) 16:52, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/comments/1d3tejg/the_topic_of_xiaomanyc_being_a_fake_polyglot/, https://medium.com/@markandfarnsworth/how-to-lie-cheat-and-steal-your-way-to-fluency-78e03f4e2831, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbQerKaxs9s, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY2NWCTaAZA - plenty of people out there proving that he's a con artist who scrapes by with the bare minimum with no level of actual fluency.

 * Those hardly come off as reliable sources. The medium.com article is behind a paywall, which makes your claims harder to prove. And a reddit thread doesn't satisfy as a reliable source either. Seems like original research, which is why I asked if that's what your "sources" were Snickers2686 (talk) 17:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
