Disambiguation link notification for October 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ningbo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ningbonese (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

"Mainland" China

There is no state of "Mainland China", please see talk page before further changes. There is a manual of style for this already WP:NC-CN. Krazytea(talk) 16:15, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Krazytea: So the consensus was China (mainland), not China with asterisk. Akira CA (talk) 23:17, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, in WP:NC-CN it states that "Because of the ambiguity of the term, it should only be used when a contrast is needed and when a simpler construction such as 'China, except Hong Kong' is unworkable." Since Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan are all presented in the template, "Mainland China" is considered acceptable here. Furthermore, "China" is not acceptable here because "In many cases 'China' can be used to refer to the modern state officially known as the 'People's Republic of China'", which includes the two SARs. Akira CA (talk) 23:21, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And Taiwan. Taiwan is not considered "mainland" even to China, and thus this also must be distinguished as well. Admanny (talk) 02:22, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have this discussion re-started for the third time on Template talk:2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus data, please demonstrate why this is such an exception circumstance that this outbreak page alone requires Mainland, mainland, (mainland). Such an entity does not exist and is a differentiating statement. Anyway, I look forward to your thoughts. Krazytea(talk) 02:59, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have requested some assistance in determining this dispute. Would you be willing to provide comment at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Template:2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus data. Thank you so much! Krazytea(talk) 20:52, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WHO

Hey. Regarding the edits you've made to refine the contested entry to make them more suitable to their source material, which the other editor wasn't even trying, I've reversed them nonetheless because the issue is that the content of them doesn't merit inclusion, not just that the WP:OR phrasing you've fixed wasn't accurate to what was said by the RS.

For this: "The WHO have received criticism for their delayed declaration of the outbreak as a global emergency, according to an opinion published on the National Post by Terry Glavin."

An opinion by a journalist from a single RS isn't exactly appropriate in terms of WP:DUE to carry the weight of the charge, even with WP:ALLEGED, and especially not at the front of the section paragraph. While the criticism of the WHO's PHEIC timing could stand, it doesn't match the rest of the section which is about the agency's supposed praise and defense of the Chinese response.

The passage of: "The WHO's handling of the epidemic has come under criticism amidst what has been described as the agency's "diplomatic balancing act" between "China and China's critics." This has included scrutiny of the relationship between the agency and Chinese authorities"

which I've advocated for does have merit and works as the section opener because it sums up the WHO's position in relation to the criticism that follows including both the scrutiny and defence by other experts, and is backed by RS that describe its role as being in a diplomatic act like the Guardian and the Jakarta Post articles. Best. Sleath56 (talk) 05:28, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you're right. I miss the point that criticism on the delayed PHEIC is essentially irrelevant to the rest of the section. Akira CA (talk) 05:54, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the understanding! It seems like the other editor has decided to reimpose the same entry again, 1, without providing an edit summary or responding the Talk thread here 2, I've already restored it once, would you mind recovering the original passage this time? Best. Sleath56 (talk) 13:40, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than keep reverting, probably keep an eye on WP:3RR and report edit warring. I will probably not engage in this anymore and start contributing to other sections of the article. Akira CA (talk) 21:54, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I respect that. Nonetheless, as the issue is persisting, [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_outbreak#Deciding_the_opening_paragraph_of_the_WHO_section I've opened a Talk thread on it.] You're still welcome to leave a comment there, supporting whichever proposal, if you wish.

Pages moves to "and by territory"

I see you have been moving a lot of pages just now. Is that really such a good idea? Is it so important that some of those pages also list territories and not just countries? I much prefer the shorter original titles. KarlFrei (talk) 11:49, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@KarlFrei: I noticed they are NPOV but rather redundant, so I stopped. Feel free to revert the moves if you want. It is probably better to put "territories" in the first sentence with boldness/in the table instead of in the title. Though there are plenty of examples indicating that either way is acceptable. -- Akira😼CA 11:57, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've restored most of them. -- Akira😼CA 12:26, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please ask for administrator help to move a page you can't move yourself, rather than doing a cut-paste like you did at List of countries by renewable electricity production. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 15:23, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK -- Akira😼CA 23:03, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

Your recent editing history at High-speed rail in China 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—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

MOS discretionary sanctions alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the English Wikipedia Manual of Style and article titles policy. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Talk page misunderstanding

Hi Akira CA you left a message on my talk page [1] claiming that I and another editor had "As what you and another editor have done in the quote box of my comment. This is a violation of WP:TALKO, thank you." however after reviewing the edit history it appears that you yourself made the edit which you claim violates WP:TALKO [2]. It wasn't either of us for messed up the signature placement, it was you buddy. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 16:35, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dude you seems completely unaware what's happening there, that's a quote box and what I added [3] is a quote of PE Fans from ANI. Even what PE Fans added later [4] is still his own quote from ANI. But what you add is not a quote. I need to sign at the end because the quote box is still a part of my comment (and can't violate WP:TALKO myself). That's also not a part of the conversation so you cannot comment within it, it's a quote buddy. -- Akira😼CA 23:15, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copying and pasting seems to be what got you in trouble in the first place here so why do it again? This is nearly identical (errors and all) to what you put on my talk page. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 23:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Except the definition of "quote" I don't see any errors here, I surely can't violate WP:TALKO in my own comment. -- Akira😼CA 23:44, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
