Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Mafia godfather

Laurent
Laurent, please review my response above thouroughly and carefuly before you repeat the same controversial argument made by the accuser who originally requested this RfC. Policies of wikipedia clearly states that editors' consensus CANNOT override the editing principles of wikipedia. Please review WP:NPOV, WP:OR, and WP:V. I notice your misinterpretation of wiki policies and profuse use of original research(e.g. your theory that establishment of temporary capital is an implication of government is in fact in exile) have draw enough complaints on the talk page. As you can see from my response above, I am going to hold those of you who use wiki policies as defense to the maximum extent. You accused me of providing "a fringe POV that is not backed by proper secondary sources". First of all, in case you are a bit fuzzy on what a secondary source is, please refer back to your English textbook or the wiki article on it.

The source I have provided is a 2006 research report to the congress by Kerry Dumbaugh, Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division. The research report is not only a reliable 3rd party source, but a proper secondary source that states the account happened almost 50 years ago. The source was not something authored by Chiang Kai Shek and it was not even a direct quote that was never before heard prior to the research report. That report was not the CLOSEST known thing to the original source, thus not a primary source. Secondly, even if it was a primary source, given the capacity of Chiang Kai Shek as the ultimate decision maker and head of ROC government that time, his statements and quotes relevant to ROC should be taken as an official position of the ROC for that point in time. One thing ironic about wikipedia is it allows people to edit by contributing new information and the level of knowledge on the subjects of these editors vary so much, any new information that is factual(note it is not perspective for POV might raise the whole concern about fringe POV) and well evidenced may be mistakenly identified as "fringe POV" like what you just did there. If you have reliable sources that can justify your claim that ROC is not government in exile, feel free to contribute to ensure NPOV. If not, then like what other editors on that talk page have commented about you -- stop editing anymore. Finally, thank you for your comment and do take some time to think about what I have said.
