F**k the Falun Gong
In the above heading ** stands for "or", "Fork" being a traditional term of endearment used in many native cultures of the Mariana Trench

But seriously, I've had it up to here with Falun Gong stooges trying to masquerade as good faith editors.

"But your information is totally POV!" "Oh, no, thats because of the source material! I'm just retarded and couldn't see that the source material was POV!"

"But your claims are unverifiable!" "Oh, yes, they are, Clear Wisdom Net and the Epoch Times, being the bastions of objective journalism that they are, verify these!"

"But the Communists can't possibly execute 200,000,000 Falun Gong members..." "Of course they can! Epoch Times says so! And anyway you're a Communist stooge!"

"But Li Hongzhi is a homophobic racist lunatic... look at his speeches!" "No, your interpretation of his words are WRONG! When he said he hated gays, he meant he didn't like happy people. When he said he hated blacks, he meant he hated black pieces in Chess..." --Sumple (Talk) 08:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Suppression of FG page
Hi, the following sentence is kind of awkward. “Falun Gong practitioners have claimed that the Zhongnanhai protest, the event that triggered the response from the Chinese government, was their response to government suppression.” First of all, many people do not know what the Zhongnanhai protest is and when it happened, hence I restored the paragraph that explains it. If this event is covered later in the article then it is that section needs to be removed. Secondly, note the italic part of the sentence above, can Wikipedia say that this event triggered response (ban) from the Chinese government? I don’t think we know enough to say that. --Samuel Luo 23:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Buying Tickets.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Buying Tickets.png.

A new approach to the Falun Gong article
Hello Colipon, please see the Falun Gong talk page and state your opinion about my proposal concerning a strict source policy. I think it's worth serious consideration. You know that the situation is tense, so we really need to find a common set of rules that is absolutely fair to all parties. In my opinion, the three-strike rule requires too much devotion to Wikipedia, and thus discriminates against a large group of editors. ---Olaf Stephanos 21:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi Gordie. Appreciate your comments on my bio page; you understand the situation well. Three days to read; four years to write! How do I give you my email without releasing it to the entire world? Or how do I get yours?  I'm not experienced in Wiki Ways.  Are you still in Shanxi?  I was in Taiyuan several months ago, may be back later this year.
 * Found your email and sent stuff.

Hi Colipon, I'm pretty impressed by your editing and wanted to ask you some friendly questions about a few of your posts that is related to my own research. Would you mind writing me an e-mail, so we can chat? My address is researchfg[at-sign]gmail[dot]com.LinLang 23:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

CCP
I see your continued diligence in updating the number of people who have quit the CCP, and I think you are doing a great job. I would like to ask, would you like me to submit a renunciation of the CCP on your behalf? I know you are no longer a member, but I understand that you did not voluntarily renounce your membership. Let me know, and I can submit this for you. I think it would be a great idea!--Asdfg12345 12:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Falun Gong is crazy. More crazy than the CCP. Colipon+(T) 23:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Meditating and reading some books is crazier than snatching people's organs and incinerating their bodies? If you understand these important questions of conscience then you should make your stand and stop taking it so lightly. Of course, there are those who do not bat an eyelid when it comes to these things. I know the epoch times only reports bad things about China, but read this: Is the Human Heart Numbed or Warped?. I think unfortunately for many, the spark of goodness and justice that was once in their hearts has become extinct, and there is no more conscience left. If you still have these good thoughts, then why don't you make a stand on this? It is so simple. --Asdfg12345 00:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * okay okay. I submit to Master Li's teachings. The Epoch Times is right about everything. CCP government is cruel and terrible, they should be rid of by Buddha law. Now please stop coming to my user page and attempt to change my political beliefs and try to make me "quit the CCP" on the Epoch times website even though I never said I was a member of the CCP to begin with. Colipon+(T) 02:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Sarcasm and insincerity are out of place here. You did tell me that you were a member and that later they revoked your membership. Nor is this is about political beliefs. It is about your conscience and how you want to exist. And I am not trying to "make" you do anything. Your choices are your own, and you will be responsible for every choice you have made.--Asdfg12345 19:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure. Whatever you say. Colipon+(T) 00:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * lol. Asdfg12345, would you like me to call the psychiatric hopsital on your behalf? Because although you didn't say you are a lunatic, you did not openly renounce your Falun Gong membership. --Sumple (Talk) 01:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Colipon, how about giving a statement in a case the FGers brought against Samuel (basically saying he broke Wiki rules, but really cuz he's saying FG isn't perfect).

Kim Il-sung, Asian Cultures Statement
Hi Gordie, you recently removed a "citation needed" tag from the statement in bold in the Kim Il-sung article.

There are roughly 800 statues of Kim Il-sung in North Korea and there are more places named after him than any other communist leader (a practice that is not common in Eastern Asian cultures).

When you removed the tag, you commented,

"citations?! Give me a few examples of asian places named after leaders."

While I agree that this statement is probably correct since it is hard for me to name places in Eastern Asia that are named after leaders, I don't think that proves your point to the end that the statement doesn't need a citation. If an article contains a statement that is so obvious to all readers that it doesn't need a citation, then it adds nothing to the article and should be removed. But if you argue that the statement isn't quite that obvious, then to accept it we'd have to prove two underlying assumptions:


 * The assumption that readers are familiar with most of the names of past and present Eastern Asian leaders.


 * The assumption that readers are familiar with most of the place names in Eastern Asian.

If these two assumptions are true, then I agree: since I can't name many place names that coincide with East Asian leaders, then there must not be any. But I submit to you that I neither know most of the names of East Asian leaders nor do I know many East Asian place names, therefore, it could be that there are plenty of East Asian place names named for revered leaders, I'm just not knowledgable to name any, and that it doesn't logically follow that the lack of an answer from me (or any other contributor, for that matter) exclusively leads to the conclusion that such a naming practice is rare.

Overall, I think your statement is a fascinating observation, and given the background in your user page, you are clearly in a position to make it from your personal experience. But for the benefit of readers without your background knowledge this statement needs to be backed up by a verifiable source. So I propose that we put the tag back and work together on finding some published work that verifies it.

On the Falun Gong quote on your userpage
"Why doesn't Falun Gong just let Buddha Law take care of the CCP?..."

And why do you think that Falun Dafa practitioners do not do exactly that :)? Don't build your opinion on some small mistakes made by a few people. First, it's no good for you for obvious reasons (believing that a mistake a practitioner once did represents Falun Gong is as good as believing blindly the CCP propaganda) - you are going to build your opinion on false information. Get to know things for yourself, don't just search for some bad side a practitioner is showing. There are countless examples of excellent social behaviour (in real life) and good faith (on Wikipedia) of Falun Dafa disciples. They will correct their behaviour without much emotions from your side, all you need to say is a few words.

That's regarding your opinion on the matter. Of course, Falun Gong practitioners would have nothing against criticism, just don't get embroiled in things yourself :). That's just what I think on the subject. Emanuil Tolev 08:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, as you wish :). Emanuil Tolev 08:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Just a reminder that came to my mind - sometimes we all think we have our deep reasons and beliefs, only to find one day that their grounds were just a momentary and passing, delusive thought, despite our clinging to it (happened to me). No demand for response or whatever, and hope you don't mind the additional edit in the page history ;). Emanuil Tolev 12:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Your Harry Potter userbox is most excellent. I may copy it... Regards, --Fire Star 火星 02:09, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, if Wikipedia in general wants to keep the FLG cycle of articles neutral, they are going to have to work it out with the true believers. I'll look in now and then, and tag things as needed, but the fuzzy-minded banality wore me out. They just keep saying the same things over and over and over and over..., so what is there to discuss? I flatter myself that I know something about qigong, that I know about Buddhism and Taoism. What I don't see is any evidence that Li or any of his followers do. I've read his lectures, Li will save you as long as you do everything for him 24/7. But there is no mechanism, I see no evidence of tolerance, compassion or forbearance from these people. They cut off the heads of their enemies (figuratively, at least) to make themselves taller. I see a new age cult repeating the same magic spells over and over hoping they will come true. Ah well, enough venting. Cheers! --Fire Star 火星 02:38, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

We believe what we are doing is correct and righteous, and the intention behind it is good. I have only good things in my heart from all this. When I hand out papers and fliers to Chinese people, and talk to people about Dafa, I actually think I am genuinely doing a good thing. That is to say, after practicing Dafa, I myself feel that I am living a different life than I was. I feel that I am consciously making decisions about my own life, and that I am taking moral choices and suffering consciously. I don't drink, do drugs, or indulge in lust anymore. I do not live for pleasure and personal interests, as I did a few years ago. I look inside myself when finding myself in conflict and really try to do better, and speak kinder with more pure intentions. How should we judge other people? I just judge them on whether or not what they think they are doing is correct. If you one is not straying from his own conscience and moral code, what more can be expected? I have never exhorted anyone to believe Falun Dafa is the true Fa, or tried to make anyone come and practice Dafa. Practicing Dafa is just a choice of own's own heart, and everything Dafa disciples are doing comes from their own heart. Of course, I can understand both of your perspectives. To you, much of what Li Hongzhi says is complete nonsense, and people must be dumb to believe it. I want to say though, that there are a few things which are clear: no one is forcing anyone else to do anything, no one is profiting in a material way, no one is being hurt, and a good proportion of what is in the books, aside from the things that are incomprehensible, are actually saying that you need to be a good person and live with a high personal standard. I have read Spinoza, Plato, Gurdjieff and a bunch of other stuff. I see the same themes being repeated here. I am not a really stupid or ignorant person. The question of the good life is a serious question, and I am practicing Dafa from this perspective. I genuinely think it is good and I have experienced its effects. I think it is quite natural that many people would reject much of the content of the lectures, but I don't see any rational grounds for opposing Falun Dafa. It is completely harmless, and the people doing it don't want to do anything bad. The police in my city, when there are protests and things, refer to practitioners as "fluffy ducks." There is nothing in here that is bad for people, and everyone is acting according to their own will and understanding. Is this the same nonsense over and over again, or can you sense my sincerity in telling you this? One ought to consider the situation objectively and really assess it.--Asdfg12345 01:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Huang Ju
I see that you took issue with me having removed some Chinese external links. They were removed for two main reasons: 1/ the article is sufficiently supported by references and obituaries in Chinese and English that I felt two other obits were not necessary. 2/ both were in Chinese, and thus "inaccessible to a substantial number of users". I did not see that the links included any significant pieces of info not already in the main article, but if I missed anything, it could be put in and the link made into a reference, and not left hanging as an EL. In recap of WP:EL, "Links should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links, or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.". Happy editing.

Regarding Edits on the Li Hongzhi Page
Colipon, I don't think its too accurate to write things like Mr Li has said he can "fly" or anything. As we are striving toward a factual article that will provide people with unbiased information, we must strive, as much as we can, to present things with background material. In the video lectures and several other lectures, the issue of supernormal abilities etc are explained very clearly and in very scientific principles. I am wiling to share my understanding on the issue with you if you are interested. This, I think, must be taken into consideration when we mention such things in the article. I also would urge you not to reject things just because it doesn't fit into to the framework of what we think we know. If it is so aren't we having blind faith on our own beliefs? We must comprehend things calmly, rationally and objectively, certainly not emotionally.

Theories are models that serve to explain a set of phenomenon. Not a description of reality as such. The Newton's "laws" serve as a simple framework to model motion at non relativistic speeds. Special relativity, as a model, helps us understand motion at higher speeds. Other phenomenon like quantum tunneling fit into neither of the above two models. My point is it is unscientific to reject a phenomenon just because it doesn't fit into a certain text-book model or any of the present-day text book models. Many quantum mechanical phenomenon like matter undergoing diffraction, quantum entanglement, superposition of states, and quantum tunneling are as "weird" as, if not more than, a particle existing at the two places as the same time. I am just trying to say there is more to science than saying - "That doesn't fit into the framework of what I know, so it cant be true." Falun Dafa lectures explain very clearly and scientifically all issues that are discussed in the lectures, including the issue of supernormal faculties. I'd urge you to kindly go through these nine lecture videos( http://www.falundafa.org/eng/media.htm#GUANGZHOU ) along with these three lecture ( Teaching the Fa at the Conference in Europe, First Fa Teaching Given in the United States, Lectures in United States ) and also the book Falun Gong (http://www.falundafa.org/book/eng/pdf/flg_2006.pdf ). Further, if you can try practicing the exercises, at least for a couple of weeks, you can verify objectively and "experimentally" the truth of what is said in the teachings.

As for why practitioners have been letting people know of the persecution and actively working against the persecution, please go through this article: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2007/6/16/86805.html Dilip rajeev 18:35, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Xi Jinping.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Xi Jinping.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hong Kong order of precedence
You've made an error in putting the 2 people into 'administrative officials' as they are, in no way, have any administrative duties in Hong Kong under the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle.

You are correct that in practice, PRC President always have precedence over any other Hong Kong officials. However, the Order of Precedence created by the Hong Kong Government for official protocol purposes specifically leaves out the President as had when under British rule, the Queen was not part of the precedence. --Cahk 19:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi again,

I don't think that would be needed nor should they be there because it adds confusion:

1) CE of HKSAR is the head of HKSAR and is for that reason that he is not subordinate to anyone. Had this been a political article, then certainly adding the President of PRC would be logical, however, this is not the case.

2) They are nor were they ever part of the HK Order of Precedence, just like the Queen of the UK under British rule.

3) In practice, the OoP in other countries are varied depending on the events and therefore, the occasional visits by Chinese officials need not to be included in the article. --Cahk 23:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Li Yong
Colipon, you removed a tag from Li Yong, with a comment that suggested exasperation. At the risk of teaching my grandfather to suck eggs, I think you may have misunderstood why I put it there, and I'm sorry if my edit summary was too cryptic. Template:Fact says it is suitable "to label a passage which is incomplete without a cited source of information". I'm delighted to have another author edit the article, but the edit was incomplete without a reference. I agree that this is "a well known fact that's been published all over chinese media" - so why not include a citation when you added the info, as per WP:V? That document says "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." I thought about including this controversy when I did most of the work on the article, but I couldn't find a reliable source in English, and my Mandarin is nowhere near good enough to check something like this. I think that you are much better equipped than me to "go search for it on youtube", so please feel free to... I also make these quick, uncited, edits, but perhaps we can help each other to kick the habit :-) Matt's talk 06:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Image:Li Keqiang.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 17:56, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Xi Jinping.gif)
 Thanks for uploading Image:Xi Jinping.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 21:40, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

One-child policy
Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'  &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 21:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

On Yongzheng Emperor, Bathrobe added the emperor's Mongolian name, and then you changed “Mongolian” to “Manchu”. Are you sure it is Manchu? I just ask because it looks Mongolian to me, even without Gantuya Eng's edit. I don't understand either language, though. Wikipeditor (talk) 17:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
