Hi LVTW2! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at List of countries by GDP (PPP) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. -- Renat 02:23, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Taiwan‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Regarding the deletion of subregional sections from List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita
The site is a list of countries by by GDP (PPP) per capita. Who ever told you that we need ANY section with classification of countries by geographical location here? It's completly redundant. This site should give us a straightfrward info about gdp per capita in particular countries territories. A few people? Well, I see you are the ONLY PERSON who ever defended this geoscheme on site like this. It's not "dodging attitude" like you described - it's simply shouldn't be here from the very beggining, and it hasn't been here for years. United Nations Geoscheme is not even close to a seetled standard, has so many flaws and simplifications that the one you have mentioned are only the tip of the iceberg. Including this geoscheme and rank countries by the average of the available estimates unfortunatelly transformed this site into one of the lowest quality content on Wikipiedia we can imagine. My proposition is: Just leave it without this faulty geocheme and let see many users will miss it. NeonFor (talk) 14:25, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 05:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring at Taiwan
 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Per a complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. EdJohnston (talk) 18:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring
I see many warnings and one block notice on this page that involve your edit warring. This edit can be construed as edit warring. I'm choosing not to block you in the hope that you can find a way to edit here without engaging in edit warring. Please re-read the policies and guidelines, (espcially WP:EW and WP:BRD), so that you will be able to avoid problems going forward. If you have questions please ask.

Reasoning behind using projections instead of estimates on the List of countries by GDP (nominal)
Just began a discussion on the talk page regarding your edits in using 2022 projections for the IMF data instead of estimates. It seems like it has been the practice to stick with the estimates and there doesn't seem to be a clear reason why you had to utilize the projections when 2022 is not even half way through. There are projections all the way up to FY 2027 - using the 'latest data available' doesn't seem to be quite reasonable here. Would like to hear your input on this on the talk page if possible.

While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.

General incivility

Whether Tamil is official in India
In this edit at List of languages by the number of countries in which they are recognized as an official language, you reverted the addition of "India" as a country where Tamil is recognized as official. (Feel free to join the discussion about this on the talk page.) In your edit summary removing "Tamil" from the India list, you asked this question:

I assume you meant, "why are Marathi or Gujarati or Telugu (and the others) not included in the table?" If that was your question, then I think there are two answers: If you want to add hundreds of rows to the table including rows for countries where the count of official languages is "1", I think you could, but I think it would make the table pretty long and maybe not as useful if you use the widgets at the top to sort the table. Mathglot (talk) 03:14, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) because this is a volunteer project, and no one has gotten around to adding them. Feel free to do so, yourself, if you wish.
 * 2) because Marathi (et al.) is official in only one country in the world, which would mean there would be a "1" in column two of the "Marathi" row in the table, for the total world count of countries where Marathi is official. But then the table would need to be hundreds of rows long in order to be neutral, as there are more than 200 countries, and more official languages than countries.


 * Funny how you only dared to mention a few languages that have not been designated by other governments as official languages while Bengali, Nepali, or Urdu etc. are also official in other nations. Besides, I said it has to be “federal level” which means a working languages for the entire nation, not just national language or regional language, those are in different definition in legal aspects. Even the main article of India does not endorse your claim about all 22 languages being “official languages” at federal level, and listed as “state level”. You should alter the contents over the main subject before making change to the list. LVTW2 (talk) 08:58, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

GDP PPP per capita
Hey we use data from the International Monetary Fund, and the IMF does not have economic data for Monaco and Liechtenstein. In fact, they are not included in the IMF's reports and there is no information about them at all due to time and period. Therefore they cannot be generalized. If we use data from the International Monetary Fund, we should follow them. It is impossible to put them in a list that has no data on them, and that they are not included in the IMF list at all. It is true that Monaco and Liechtenstein are not territories, but they cannot be included in the ranking when they do not appear at all with the IMF. If our source is the IMF, we should rely on its information. Fun71528 (talk) 00:08, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

China maritime neighbors
I believe your view that Taiwan is not prominently mentioned as sharing a maritime boundary with China is justified. China's releveant section does not mention Taiwan, and neither does the source article for that section. WikiwiLimeli (talk) 04:06, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I don’t want to involve in that issue anymore, the emphasis on Taiwan in the lede is odd despite plenty of countries also sharing long maritime borders with China which were not mentioned, but I just want to bring up the response about why they Mede this, if other editors think it’s OK then I’m fine. LVTW2 (talk) 03:53, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Taiwan has the distinction of sharing a narrow maritime border (boundary) without sharing a land border. All of the other countries that share narrow maritime borders with China simultaneously share land borders with China, making that information generally redundant. Taiwan is the ONLY country that shares a narrow maritime border with China whilst simultaneously not sharing a land border. Obviously, Taiwan is a disputed/de facto state, meaning that this narrow maritime border is in-itself disputed (China effectively views it as an internal border or even non-existent, considering that it views Kinmen and Matsu as parts of Fujian Province; nonetheless, the border between Kinmen and Penghu, which is wider but still relatively narrow, would be regarded by the PRC as China's internal border between Fujian and Taiwan).

Removal of "Citation Needed" template
At the article about Taiwan, you have several times removed a "Citation Needed" template that has been placed adjacent to information that is (1) uncited and (2) bold (i.e. asserting a strong claim). Given that the information has been marked for needing a citation, it is imperative that the template remain in place until relevant/reliable/sufficient citations are added to support the bold information. Removing the "Citation Needed" template repeatedly is not conducive to improving the academic quality of the article. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 15:26, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Disruptive Korean IP on Global North and Global South
There is a long-term disruptive IP, 117.53.77.84, who is most likely a Korean far-right ultranationalist, that's constantly removing mentions of Singapore and Taiwan (and other like-minded nations/territories like Hong Kong and Macau) from the article despite the fact that they are within the criteria, sources and the map. This same IP has also tried to question Taiwan's status as a developed country on the Taiwan talk page. You seem to have already encountered with this editor before back in January, reverting them, but they haven't stopped since. I have reverted them now but I won't be surprised if they reverted me back. I think this article needs to be more closely watched. 160.86.167.2 (talk) 19:04, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

About Taiwan, ROC and PRC
First of all, I have to admit that the Republic of China is a fact, but the Republic of China is a country and cannot represent Taiwan as a country. According to the Constitution of the Republic of China, Taiwan is a region under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China, and Taiwan is only an island. The actual jurisdiction of the Republic of China includes Taiwan and Kinmen & Matsu on the mainland, and the mainland is also a part of the Republic of China, It corresponds to the other side's statement that "Taiwan is part of China", so Taiwan cannot be the abbreviation of the Republic of China. In addition, if Taiwan is an independent country, why is it called the "Republic of China"? Why not call it the "Republic of Taiwan"? Why would Taiwan have the Mainland Affairs Council instead of directly establishing diplomatic relations with China? Why can people from other countries use passports to come to Taiwan while China can only use the Taiwan entry permit? Why did the President of Taiwan swear to Sun Yat-sen (Sun Yat-sen is also Chinese)? Why would Taiwan use the flag of the Republic of China? Before the establishment of PRC, it was also ROC. Could it be that the whole of China was Taiwan? This shows that the two sides belong to the same country, and the PRC is only a regime of ROC, just as the other side believes that ROC is a regime of PRC, regardless of the outcome, it is China, regardless of each other. It can only be said that China now has two regimes of PRC and ROC. 58.176.1.159 (talk) 02:02, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Sovereignty issue
At present, most countries have established diplomatic relations with China, among which "Taiwan Province is a part of China" is also one of the diplomatic principles, which means that Taiwan Province belongs to China.It is an international consensus.Besides,the United Nations does not recognize Taiwan Province as a country.Like Hongkong and Macau, it has a high degree of autonomy, but in the final analysis it is still the territory of China.

Hindi in Fiji
Hi, I'm trying to understand why editors in Wikipedia are insisting that Hindi is not an official language of Fiji when the government of Fiji uses the term Hindi to describe this language:

"Hindi Translation - New Quarantine Charges For Returning Fijians" https://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Centre/Announcements/HINDI-NEW-QUARANTINE-CHARGES

The written language of these translations is standard Hindi: https://www.fiji.gov.fj/getattachment/5c3976f6-2c67-4013-8a53-a7ea3efada68/HINDI-NEW-QUARANTINE-CHARGES.aspx

Even when the term Fiji Hindi is used, as in this video, the actual language used is just standard Hindi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt6pOvo0Pvk&t=77s

The government of Fiji uses the term Hindi to refer to this language. The written standard of the language that the government uses is standard Hindi.

"This Constitution is to be adopted in the English language and translations in the iTaukei and Hindi languages are to be made available." Subsection 31(3) simples states that Fiji Hindi is to be taught in schools, it does not say that Fiji Hindi is the intended meaning of "Hindi". All official documents published by the Fijian government are translated into standard Hindi.

No sources are being used to justify removing Hindi from the articles about Fiji. Ahassan05 (talk) 17:02, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

TPE
"Taiwan" can be seen in the article Chinese Taipei, otherwise should I also mention Republic of China in Chinese Taipei men's national 3x3 team? Or I make a footnote about "Taiwan has participated in sports events as Chinese Taipei since the 1980s" in this 33 article? Those all can be read in the article Chinese Taipei, I can't understand why those info can be necessary in this type article.--寒吉 (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2023 (UTC)


 * For instance, you can simply add "Chinese Taipei, represeting the Republic of China (Taiwan)..." or "Taiwan, represented as "Chinese Taipei", participating in...", both of which are better descriptive wording than saying nothing.
 * Do remember, this is ENGLISH language Wikipedia, mainly viewed by audience from English-speaking world, don't apply the Chinese Wikipedia mindset to edit and consider every English-speaking population knowing about what Chinese communities know it well. "Chinese Taipei" is itself a make-up neologism which is only used in certain diplomatic occassion due to political reason, neither a geographic or national term, it should be given further elaboration to clarify.
