STOP Writing things about China !!![edit]

I have noticed that you are taiwanese !! But you always edit and write bullshit about things releated to China such as "Internet of China", "Jermy Lin", "China's national status" etc, etc. STOP !!! You are NOT Chinese, you are an Asian American of Taiwan decent !!

Therefore, I demand you stop being such a hypocrite!

August 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Jeremy Lin may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • by descent through his parents a [[national without household registration|national]] of [[Taiwan)]]; Lin could apply for a [[Taiwan passport]] although there is no record of his having done so.<

Chinese Taipei / ROC / Taiwan[edit]

If the official name of a sports team is Chinese Taipei, the team should be listed as Chinese Taipei on Wikipedia. In other contexts, the convention is to use ROC where the state / government is directly concerned, and Taiwan in other places. Please stop indiscriminately changing mentions of Chinese Taipei / ROC / whatever to Taiwan. Thanks. wctaiwan (talk) 15:29, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In actuality, the official name of Chinese Taipei is Taiwan as Taiwan is a country and does not represent China. Chinese Taipei/ROC MUST not be used as it implies that Taiwan is part of China. Beijing is behind this and has been manipulating the international community. Please wake up and save Taiwan!!6it4pq (talk) 22:45, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're not the first, nor would you likely be the last, supporter of Taiwan independence on Wikipedia (in fact, my views are probably fairly close to yours); however, Wikipedia must not be used for advocacy. My advice is to correct obvious falsehoods (e.g. "Taiwan, China" outside of discussions of the PRC's stance); in other situations, you should not make such changes unless you have gained consensus on the articles' talk pages first. If you insist on making such changes without discussion, you would likely be blocked from editing for POV-pushing. wctaiwan (talk) 04:36, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
From what I can tell- and I may be wrong- Taiwan is called the "Republic of China". This is distinct from the "People's Republic of China", and the use of "China" in both names is honestly pretty confusing, but it's not because they're connected countries, it's just because the word "China" is used to refer to the culture/national identity/region/whatever- probably a translation of the regional word for China.
Basically, Taiwan is distinct from China (The PROC, that is), but it is, officially, called the Republic of China, which isn't identifying it as part of the PROC, just a name that sounds too similar. It's confusing- like if a country was named "Canadia"- but ROC is the proper name. Hppavilion1 (talk) 02:46, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Human Development Index[edit]

I noticed that you put Taiwan back in the article. The problem is that Taiwan is not listed in the source, which that section of the Wikipedia article is based on. Here is the source [1] -- Go to page 144 and you will see the list of countries that are used in the Wikipedia article. Please undo your edit when you have a chance.

Taiwan is a legal country but because of pressure from Beijing it is not listed in the UN HDR. Just as Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are legal countries but pressure from Washington, it is not represented. Do the right thing.6it4pq (talk) 22:36, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alaska and Hawaii are U.S. states, not countries. And it doesn't matter why Taiwan isn't listed in the source, the fact is that they are not. I will now revert your edit since you didn't do it yourself. Somedifferentstuff (talk) 09:12, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

September 2013[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm JohnBlackburne. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Taiwan without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Chinese Taipei is not the real name for the sports team. Taiwan is the actual name as it is a legal country. 6it4pq (talk) 21:27, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Pengyou Logo.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Pengyou Logo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:33, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is probably fair use. I need assistance from Wikipedia to have a logo on Pengyou. Perhaps Wikipedia could do that for Pengyou.6it4pq (talk) 21:04, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jeremy Lin[edit]

Lin is of Chinese descent because his maternal grandmother is originally from China. Lin is of Taiwanese descent because his parents are from Taiwan. Both are facts. So it is perfectly fine to call him the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA. Please stop changing the article.—Chris!c/t 04:51, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. No one is saying he's NOT Taiwanese. We're simply trying to reflect the complexity of his ethnic background. It's not a political statement. Zagalejo^^^ 04:58, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Xerooz. Your recent edit to the page Taiwan appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Taiwan. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 04:26, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
