<ul><li>Comment: The creator, zh:Special:Contributions/鸡景行, was blocked on the Chinese Wikipedia for "純粹破壞：屢次增加沒有來源的不實資料：見用戶提報. 製造不實資訊：靈山縣靈城第三中學. 並非在此建設百科全書. " This is translated to "Pure destruction: repeatedly adding false information without sources: see user reports. Producing false information: Lingcheng No. 3 Middle School in Lingshan County. This is not the place to build an encyclopedia." The block discussion is here. Here is a Google Translate of that discussion:

Just making it up.


 * 1) The school’s official website is suspected to be a website built by the editor.
 * 2) The school emblem and school song are suspected to be composed by the editor. The entry states that the school song from 2024 will be "People from No. 3 Middle School Pursuing the Other Sun" and the audio file is uploaded. However, according to [1 ], the school song in March 2024 will be "Brilliant Talents Grow in Lixiang".
 * 3) The chapter "School History" is completely inconsistent with [2 ] "Lingcheng No. 3 Middle School was founded in November 2001 and was renamed Lingshan County Lingcheng No. 3 Middle School in December 2011."
 * 4) The school motto "Inspiring students to study hard and pursue excellence" should be "Study diligently and achieve excellence" ([3 ]), and the philosophy "Let students be admitted to good high schools and make students become obedient and good children" should be "education with ideals" To realize the ideal of education” ([4 ])
 * 5) "Internet Censorship" is an entire chapter of original research and fictitious reference materials. The ISBN of "Research and Reference on the Militarized Management of Education in Guangxi" is found to be a Chinese textbook for the first volume of ninth grade.
 * 6) User:鸡景行 also translated the entries into English Wiki and Cantonese Wiki.

 * Cantonese Wikipedia may also have to assist in the cleanup - Qiancun Foxtu (leave a message) 23:27, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Cross-wiki vandalism, I have deleted the disruptive content from the English Wikipedia, and I recommend that the user be submitted to a global lockout. --Allervous Hatsune MikuのセーラーServer 02:05, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment: In these edits, the article creator gave a barnstar to User:折毛, who was blocked for the hoaxes described in the Wikipedia article Zhemao hoaxes and was the subject of this declined arbitration case request in 2022. Cunard (talk) 11:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per the analysis I posted above. This editor gave a barnstar to an editor who created numerous hoaxes (Zhemao hoaxes and Fabricated articles and hoaxes of Russia in 2022) after creating an English Wikipedia article that was deleted on the Chinese Wikipedia for being a hoax. Delete per Do not create hoaxes and Vandalism. Cunard (talk) 11:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: I started Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Cunard (talk) 11:16, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: A school with the name "灵山县灵城第三中学" (No.3 Middle School Of Lingshan) is mentioned here in The Paper and here on gxnu.edu.cn. The school likely exists though I've been able to find very little coverage of it. According to the Chinese Wikipedia editors' analysis, the article contains false information and fabricated sources. Cunard (talk) 11:45, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * According to your advice, I think the article should first be deleted and then re-created. Allervous (talk) 12:22, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, TNT, likely hoax. -Lemonaka  02:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete, seems to be a hoax based on the page creator's block summary. The Wikipedia policy for hoaxes, per WP:G3, is to delete them (although you already know that) 24.115.255.37 (talk) 02:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Tagged for deletion (G3) As it's pretty clear from evidence here that this is a hoax made by a Zhemao follower or something. I'm assuming there's consensus for deletion, and this hoax is pretty blatant, so let's not waste time here. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 13:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Snow delete (I'd have speedied, but it was just declined). Clear hoax, if school is notable it can be re-created with legit sourcing and information. FWIW, if Cunard !votes Delete, there is no hope of salvaging an article's content and there's no one I know with better assessment of Chinese-language sourcing. Star   Mississippi  22:18, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Star Mississippi I'm a little bit familiar with Chinese.
 * https://lcsz.pages.dev/ is likely to be a website written by the one who created the hoax.
 * This source noticed No.3_Middle_School_Of_Lingshan, however, it's just about some events host on that school previously
 * Unreachable source
 * Unknown
 * They cite a book about "the history of Chinese Communism Party in Guang Xi", how can this book has anything related to a school
 * Unknown
 * The site built by vandals
 * Unknown
 * -Lemonaka 12:51, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The website you mentioned is probably created by the user 鸡景行, because I didn't find any info about the school's homepage on Baidu, and most Chinese school website has .edu (second-level domain) and ended with top-level demain .cn (Sometimes ended with .com). Also, the coat of arms is very rough.
 * There may be local factbook like "" that notice the existence of Lingshan NO.3 school, but I couldn't get the content. To avoid further abuse, the article should be deleted. Allervous (talk) 00:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC)


 * delete as nonverifiable. - Altenmann >talk 18:07, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: I've only found what the content from website on a county government and literally it's very hard to access them from my end. Donno if there's any infomation can obtained from there. I've also seen there's a speedy request in Cantonese Wikipedia and see what's the outcome here first. Shinjiman &#8660; &#9832; 08:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
