You are now a reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. — ξ xplicit  06:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Renaming Standard Mandarin
Hi, editor of WikiProject China, please come to the Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese) and gave your input on the discussion (I suggest Modern Standard Chinese as the English name for article now titled Standard Mandarin) whether to rename the article "Standard Mandarin" to the new title "Modern Standard Chinese" or "Standard Chinese", as proposed by User:WeijiBaikeBianji. Your reply is needed.--TheLeopard (talk) 20:30, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Khanhoo
Hello User Colipon, I have been trying to find any historical information about the card game Khanhoo, one of China's "national" card games, but so far my efforts have been fruitless. I wonder if you could find any information and references in Chinese language once you can speak Chinese. That would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Krenakarore (talk) 11:09, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Proposed Tibetan naming conventions
A few months ago, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it. Thanks &mdash; Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 22:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Kilgour-Matas report
It is unnecessary, inappropriate and against Wikipedia policy for people to be making personal comments in the Kilgour-Matas report AfD discussion, regardless of provocation. It is precisely because of such behaviour that Falun Gong related material is problematic. I am requesting that you remove your personal comments in the AfD discussion, and letting you know that if you do not do so that I will direct the closing admin's attention to your comments and ask that your !vote be discounted.

Editing on Wikipedia can be stressful at times, and this is understood. I do have sympathy with those who get frustrated. However, I would also ask that you refrain from making any personal comments in any area of Wikipedia in future. Focus on the content and not your assumption about the person's motives. If you feel that you are unable to conduct yourself in a reasonable manner; that editing on Wikipedia causes you stress; that you get enraged when other editors change your text and you are unable to politely discuss the matter or ask for assistance and would rather abuse the other editors then perhaps Wikipedia is not the place for you.

My suggestion is that if you feel angered by someone's behaviour, that you:


 * 1) Give yourself a period of at least an hour before responding.
 * 2) Write out your response, then before pressing Save page read through it carefully and edit it - removing any personal or inappropriate comments.
 * 3) Check what you have written a second time before pressing Save page.
 * 4) Read through what you have written after you have posted it, and remove anything that could be taken as a personal comment.
 * 5) If you are so angry that you cannot trust yourself to do this, or you feel the behaviour needs looking at, request assistance from one of the resources listed at Dispute resolution; remembering to make as neutral a statement as possible, such as: "Would someone please look at this for me." If the behaviour is not obvious and needs a lengthy explanation, the chances are you are being too sensitive.

If you are unsure about any of this, then please get in touch.  SilkTork  *YES! 09:59, 22 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note. I wasn't angry at all, at anyone. I've become quite disillusioned by the Falun Gong experience and have quit editing FLG articles. If you would like, you can delete my comment, or discount my vote. It's not much of a vote anyway. Thanks, Colipon+ (Talk) 10:42, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Good article
I guess you might not want to discuss it, but I just read through your archived article of FG. It's noticably more informative and NPOV than the version that exists now. I don't have much background or interest in editing articles on that subject, but your experience is revealing. It's kinda sad: it reminds me of what I consider one of the main weaknesses of Wikipedia. "Oh well", eh?Ferox Seneca (talk) 02:02, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * It is not the best place to be in on this encyclopedia, for sure. I've tried to stay away from FLG as well as extremely sensitive articles dealing with Chinese propaganda, censorship, etc., anything that has been of ideological struggle, partly because the editing environment in those articles got so corrosive. FLG is especially bad, mostly because views of it are totally polarized. Fighting against a group of Falun Gong-devoted users is a full-time job, one that I was not ready to take on, so I left and let the article deteriorate, much like other senior users on that page. Almost all discussions end up evolving into personal attacks. I wrote a couple of essay-discussion pieces which you can find on my user page, if you ever wanted to kill some time.FLG aside, I wanted to draw your attention to something that I have in the works: User:Colipon/Succession of Mao Zedong. I find the intrigue and political struggles behind the scenes to be very interesting between 1975-78, and I want to contexualize it all in this article. If you are interested your help and advice would be more than appreciated. Colipon+ (Talk) 02:41, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * You did spark some interest, though, in re-reading one sore point of the Falun Gong debate: the issue of He Zuoxiu's relationship with Luo Gan. I tried to restart the discussion. Feel free to give your two cents. Colipon+ (Talk) 03:36, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I don't have much of a background in FLG-related research, and can't be of much help in FLG-related debates. Pretty much everything that I hear about the issue makes editing FLG-related articles seem like a horrible experience, so I am not enthusiastic about commiting myself to that research. The present articles have obviously been edited to subtly reflect a clear POV, but I am not going to be the one to correct that. One of the main problems with Wikipedia, I think, is that the process depends overly on mutual goodwill: it is much too easy to shut a project down just by being a very committed asshole. This site is only functioning at the level that it is now because the people who occasionally show up here in order to make things difficult and push a clear POV are not generally committed enough to stick around long-term.


 * My medium-term goals for Wikipedia right now are: finish sourcing and re-organizing Zhao Ziyang's article (I left it about half-done); maybe do one or two touch-ups on Li Peng; finish the Zhou Enlai article, then "prune" it down; and, re-write the biographies of several 20th-century warlords. I want to do a large edit of the Great Leap Forward, focusing on the politics that caused, sustained, and ended the event, and add more research to the biographies of several figures prominent in the 1950s-60s, especially Peng Dehuai and Liu Shaoqi.  I want to do some copy-editing of the Tiananmen Square Protests, and I'll probably get around to making some more modest edits of the Cultural Revolution after that. I will only get to everything gradually, over the course of the next few months.


 * I have some background on the internal struggle to succeed Mao, but most of the sources that I have on hand for that period are only general (i.e. Spence), and I think that you will want something better. I know where I can look for some good articles. It's an interesting topic. I can add information as it comes to me, but I might not be able to get around to it very quickly.Ferox Seneca (talk) 05:27, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Falun Gong
Would welcome your input regarding the possibility of an article specifically about Falun Gong in China currently at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Religion/Falun Gong work group. John Carter (talk) 21:26, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Herman Cain
Hello, Colipon. You reverted the opening of this article stating that he is a presidential candidate, on the grounds that it was redundant as we have a paragraph below. But surely one wants to start a biographical article with whatever most makes the subject noteworthy? Which, at this stage, I would judge, is overwhelmingly his political candidacy rather than his background as a business executive (or anything else). Wouldn't you agree? Nandt1 (talk) 22:12, 10 November 2011 (UTC)


 * No, I would not, but in this case it is more-or-less a stylistic choice than anything else. I guess I feel that placing his presidential candidacy first is clearly a sign of 'recentism'. The way that you framed the intro is simply a bit awkward, but I wouldn't go as far as to feel so strongly about it that I would revert you. I appreciate your efforts at the article though, I am merely more of a 'strict' follower of Wiki's conventions. It's not always bad to write "outside of the box". Colipon+ (Talk) 05:00, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for such a courteous response. I suppose my feeing about "recentism" is that sometimes things change in a major way over a relatively short period -- becoming a serious presidential candidate being an example -- and that when this happens, I believe an online encyclopedia might as well be up to date.  Good luck to you in all your future edits!  Nandt1 (talk) 12:59, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I read the materials that you wrote and to be honest I think they are quite well-written. I didn't want to appear like I was disparaging or overly critical. Sometimes I am dismayed that new users (I assume you are a new user) tends to edit things of more immediate and recent importance, because it means that many parts of the encyclopedia that have more long-term significance don't get as much coverage as they deserve. Anyway, those are just my opinions. Happy editing, and looking forward to reading your work in the future. Colipon+ (Talk) 02:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Criteria for disturbances articles
What is the criteria to create a riot/protest article that is notable? Most people are clearly afraid to work on this type of articles. It is very easy for something to be flagged as unnotable. After all, one or two wiki editor and up against censored news can only write so much. Benjwong (talk) 00:54, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I replied to you over at the Anshun deletion discussion. I really want you to know that this is not a personal crusade against you or the articles you have created. I share your belief that Wikipedia needs more individuals like yourself who will go out there and write articles about social disturbances, mass protests, human interest stories, and other sensitive topics. I have tried doing this a couple of times myself at Lou Jing, and Wenzhou train collision. In fact, I would like to cooperate with you on articles that you and I both have an interest in improving. As for the criteria, I think it has to be firmly established that such a social disturbance led to some sort of social change or significant government response, and/or major casualties to elicit a 'legacy' section or some such; i.e. it had an effect outside the confines of the event itself. Most one-off events that get spike in coverage in the media for a couple of days is thus not notable. For example, the Sichuan schools corruption scandal had the effect of changing building codes of schools all over China, so it is notable. Colipon+ (Talk) 01:00, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * On a side note, I have always wanted to get a subscription to the South China Morning Post. It is the most informative newspaper on events in China in the English language and without the censorship of Chinese authorities. Colipon+ (Talk) 01:01, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Well I always wonder what is considered notable? Does it require a certain number of deaths, injuries, government officials fired??  I am looking at some of these events involved with cities 10x the size of HK or macau.  Yet these are described by mainland media like is no big deal.  I am looking at the Zhili riot (oct 26) and Guangdong zhongshan riot (nov 13-14). Are these legitimate articles, what do you think? You can sign up for SCMP.  They do a ton of translations, but they don't cover everything. Benjwong (talk) 01:19, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I just don't want to create more articles and then you flag it for deletion because you don't see it as being notable. If you don't respond in a day or two I assume you are ok with it. Benjwong (talk) 03:20, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I generally follow the guidelines over at WP:EVENT, and use my good judgment based on the spirit of the criteria listed there. You should give it a quick readthrough. I am going through some of the articles that you created, and I will flag ones that I do not think match the "Event" criteria. Most of them are good. Colipon+ (Talk) 04:40, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, the Zhili riot looks more or less notable, because it is unique in the sense that it is caused by tax policy, instead of something over a corrupt official. It has coverage on AP and several other sources. Colipon+ (Talk) 04:42, 18 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I am looking at Notability (events), people who put that page together see things from a open-western-media perspective. That simply will not work for mainland China articles. Mainland media loves to focus on "easy targets" like Li Gang and the Guo mei-mei types.  It is completely ok for citizens to talk about those everyday 24x7, hence those are easily notable.  But the ones with the most impact are actually the ones you flagged for deletion like 2011 Anshun incident.  It affects an entire regional government.  All the officials behind the incidents are protected and nameless.  In reality...


 * Li Gang = 500 hours of media coverage
 * Anshun incident = 3 minutes of media coverage


 * Yet my judgement tells me Anshun is way more notable than Li Gang. Benjwong (talk) 01:16, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I can see where you are coming from, but if Anshun is more notable than Li Gang, please write a little more about it in the article to vouch for its notability. If it affected the regional government, tell the readership how. Right now all I see is a chronology. To me, no article is better than an insufficient article that cannot speak for its own notability. Again, Ben, a lot of the articles you write are great articles, obviously notable, and quite interesting. I do not go around flagging articles for deletion needlessly, and I empathize with your point on censorship. Generally, notable suppressed events will still find coverage at least in HK and Taiwan media, and some English-language media. I don't see this to be the case with the Anshun incident.

Wang Lijun
Hi Colipon, This is the kind of content that makes me think we need a non-biographic article to deal with this incident. Maybe "Wang Lijun incident" is more appropriate than the title I previously suggested. Do you concur? Homunculus (duihua) 00:31, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, Hom, I was thinking the same thing, but then I thought if it ain't broke, don't fix it. There isn't too much more that we can add, apart from what's on the article so far, which you and OhC made sure retained a semblance of due weight by expanding on the 'public security career' sections of the page in relation to the 'US consulate' section. The Chinese wiki has a separate article already. Another thing is that, almost everything is still speculation at this stage, perhaps it's better to wait? Colipon+ (Talk) 19:55, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * At this stage either option is fine. My thought is that, if the predictions of China analysts are correct, this things could unfold as having bigger implications for the careers of Bo, Zhou Yongkang, Wang Yang, and so on. And, if ever solid details emerge about the nature of the allegations Wang brought against Bo and his family, those allegations may eventually gain more notability. I'll mull it over more, but no guarantee I won't just pull the trigger in the next couple days.Homunculus (duihua) 20:12, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm actually quite excited to hear what the story behind this is. Knowing the lack of transparency with the CCP though, I don't know if we'll ever find out. God-willing, perhaps Bo himself will end up fleeing to the U.S., which would become the biggest political scandal in China since Lin Biao. I trust you'd do a good job at the article if you do start it. :) We seem to see many things eye-to-eye. Just not Falun Gong. Colipon+ (Talk) 22:02, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * "God-willing, perhaps Bo himself will end up fleeing to the U.S...." - yes, but only if his plane were to crash half way across the pacific! The Sound and the Fury (talk) 01:08, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Regarding your elaborations on the Chongqing model and the implications for Wang Yang et al, you didn't include many sources, and the tone is pretty speculative (eg. "Politicians who may feel that Bo's efforts weaken their own political achievements by comparison include..."). Maybe you intended to fix that. Anyway, the content you wrote would have been ok several months ago, but is less appropriate in light of recent development, such as further revelations about the use of the 'strike black' campaign to take down wealthy businessmen using torture, striping them of their private wealth as a means of strengthen the statist model, etc. These things, and allegations from the likes of Zhang Mingyu, have pretty thoroughly discredited the anti-corruption campaigns, don't you think? Also, since Wen Jiabao's closing speech at the NPC specifically lauded the work of Wang Yang while criticizing the Chongqing model, I think it's safe to say that Wang no longer has cause to feel threatened by Bo's success. I don't have time to write anything now, but you might want to refer to some more recent analysis. This Newsweek article is pretty good.Homunculus (duihua) 17:00, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * That problematic paragraph was not written by me (the segments on 'making others look bad'), and I agree that in light of recent developments it should be changed to something more appropriate. I also do not have too much time but feel the article does not do justice to the stature of this man and just how important his downfall is to the political landscape. I am also torn as to whether or not to keep the chronological order of the article or to dedicate a full section to the 'Chongqing Model'. Your ideas are welcome. Thank you for your note. Colipon+ (Talk) 17:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks for the clarification. When I have more time in the next day or two, I'll try to bring some concrete proposals to the talk page.Homunculus (duihua) 17:27, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
