Hi CaradhrasAiguo. I'm sorry to intrude, but I feel as though this is getting somewhat ridiculous - I cannot fathom how you can say this edit [1] constitutes removal of content without adequate explanation or how it introduces over-citation. Please, understand that by over using inappropriate warning templates regardless of any intent to intimidate (though I'm not saying you are trying to intimidate), it creates an environment in which overlapping editors cannot feel comfortable working together. Do you plan on apologizing? Is there something I'm missing in all this? To me it seems that this sort of thing is precisely what you were just banned for. Darthkayak ( talk) 21:14, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
removal of (sourced) content. Yes, I did not need to use a Level 4 / Imminent template, but I was irritated by seeing a revert notification by HEJ and then opening the notification to find he had apparently reverted an edit for the mere sake of doing so (and I still do not trust his judgment on sources given the AN/I incident which no admin gave their input at), and he and I have since conducted ourselves in reasonable terms.

2. "I also reverted the edit because the comics have already been covered by another source, and concur with this assessment. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 21:00, 15 April 2020 (UTC)" Not sure what you mean exactly when you said the above on my talk page as my particular contribution did not mention the comic, but rather used the Shanghaiist source to confirm the fact that foreigners are now banned from entering China whether they have visas and residence permits or not.

It's accurate to say that China is an authoritarian one-party dictatorship run by a president for life. They have thousands of Muslims in camps for the crime of preferring the wrong religion. They killed thousands of student protesters in Tiananmen Square and sent tanks into democratic Hong Kong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sailing californium ( talk • contribs)

I don't understand your reasoning for constant reverting of my CORRECT calculations of the mean temperatures. For instance, the average high temperature for January is 25.5 and the average low is 11.6. The mean temperature is therefore 18.5. It is not 16.5 as currently stated in the climate box. This is a simple calculation. Take a calculator and do it yourself and you will get the same result. Please stop reverting my correct calculations. It is extremely annoying, and more importantly, it is factually incorrect. It seems you have a history of doing this, based on the Wuhan climate box section of your talk page. Aoa8212 ( talk) 05:18, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
You have now reverted my unhiding of the climate box on Wuhan twice. The first reason you gave was extremely weak. The second reason you gave was arrogant and dismissive of ordinary users of wikipedia. I am unimpressed with the attitude you are displaying. I have opened a section on the talk page. I am asking you to respond there. Oska ( talk) 20:56, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
I see now you had just responded there when I was leaving the message above. I will continue the discussion there. I do not resile from the views expressed above that the edit note reasons you gave were problematic. Oska ( talk) 21:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
I am unimpressed with your answer in that discussion and how you are wasting my time on this issue. But I have now responded, pointing out how you are misreading the style guide. I am also unimpressed with your recent mass revert on the Wuhan article that removed my edit but also edits by a number of other editors. It would appear that that edit was an underhand way to revert without doing an undo. Oska ( talk) 12:07, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Letting you know that I have requested a WP:THIRDOPINION over our dispute on how MOS:DONTHIDE applies to this issue. Oska ( talk) 12:40, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
The third opinion process (FAQ) is informal and I have no special powers or authority apart from being a fresh pair of eyes. Third opinions are not tiebreakers and should not be "counted" in determining whether or not consensus has been reached.You ignore this while attempting to castigate others for mis-interpreting MOS, and are beneath contempt. In light of this, you are hereby asked to bugger off my talk page in perpetuity. CaradhrasAiguo ( leave language) 20:52, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
daily mean data doesn't need the source—How is the mean calculated when the digit after the decimal point of the sum of the monthly normal maximum and minimum is odd. This is in direct contravention of WP:NOR. CaradhrasAiguo ( leave language) 19:58, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@ EzekielT and SuperKontik38: I just noticed this from a discussion below, but the mean is simply not the average of the average high and the average low. It may be close, particularly during the fall/spring and near the equator, but it can be wildly off depending on local conditions. The example given below is if it’s 0 degrees for 23 hours and 20 degrees for 1 hour, then the mean is the weighted average 20/24 ~0.83 degrees rather than 10 degrees. You need direct RS figures to report mean temperatures as many countries use hourly/bihourly measurements to calculate mean temperatures instead of half of the diurnal/monthly/annual temperature range (see discussion below). — MarkH21 talk 05:57, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
You recently reverted a change I made to the metro population update made April 26 2020. For most of recent memory the metro population was listed as 25 million, which is referenced in the current superscript link on the page (OECD Urban Policy Review etc. - under City and Population (millions): 25.0). However, the current box reads as 56,118,357, which is a number not supported by any references. Can you please point out to me where this very specific population number is being derived from in the referenced OECD study link that is being referenced? Radoria2 ( talk) 00:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi there. Can you explain why you suddenly attempted remove an entire section of sourced material without adequate explanation? Symphony Regalia ( talk) 22:12, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) @ Symphony Regalia and CaradhrasAiguo: I haven’t looked at the relevant talk page sections and formed a view on the actual dispute, but a reminder that the onus is for inclusion, not exclusion, to have consensus. So if there is no clear consensus to include the section, then it should remain removed until consensus arises to include it. — MarkH21 talk 02:32, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
monthsplural. If you had read WP:CON, you would have known that WP:COMMUNITYCONSENSUS is a separate section (and thus separate matter) from that which you linked. An example of the former would be a WP:RfC or noticeboard (such as WP:RS/N) discussion. CaradhrasAiguo ( leave language) 02:46, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
monthsin the plural, as you stated here; at best, this is being loose with numbers, at worst, making shite up. CaradhrasAiguo ( leave language) 03:39, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
You need to understand the different levels of practice here. WP:ONUS is a Wikipedia policy, which stands above guidelines and explanatory supplements as established standards by long-standing consensus. WP:REMOVAL is a Wikipedia essay, which has no standing whatsoever on practice and does not have acceptance by consensus.
WP:ONUS applies at all times, and inclusion
is not the same thing as addition
. It’s not somehow excluded for material that had a past assumed consensus that was not previously challenged; i.e.
assumed consensus by silence which is only presumed to exist until voiced disagreement becomes evident
.
Consensus changes, and material is always assessed at the current state of consensus. —

While you are perfectly at liberty to remove posts from your talk page they remain in your page history and removal means you have read and understand them. My template post about WP:CENSOR at Tibet Autonomous Region was prompted by your disruptive editing that another editor reverted before I got to it. My post on your talk page is not WP:NPA. If you want to go that route then you are going to make things more difficult for yourself. Just because you don't like editors making a post that from their point of view seems valid doesn't mean it's wrong.

Hi, Caradhras. You reverted this edit I made saying I removed text without giving "a valid reason" for doing so. I explained my action in the edit summary: the language I removed did not make sense. Here's the language I removed and you restored:
A german paper however noted that Adrian have used unconventional research methods to prove Chinese government's policies of repression on the Tibetans. The paper alleged that Adrian had analyzed job postings for security personnel in Tibet, compared them with data on self-immolation by Tibetans, and used that data to form his conclusions.
The "alleg[ation]" mentioned in the text has no apparent connection to the paragraph above summarizing Zenz's research, which doesn't mention repression of Tibetans, security personnel, or self-immolation. Nor is it clear even what is being alleged, as the text doesn't say how he analyzed anything, what comparisons he made, or what his conclusions were. The source is behind a paywall and the text in the Wikipedia article looks like a bad machine translation of the German in the first paragraph, but even in German the available section of the original doesn't clarify things. Could you explain why you think this section belongs in the article? 2601:18A:C680:1EB0:79A8:E11E:F8BD:C478 ( talk)
Can I ask what you think of the examples on the Wiktionary page https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/East_Turkestan ? The Uyghurs that manage to escape call it East Turkestan, and these detainees probably had similar thoughts seeing as they weren't sent back. It's important to provide all viewpoints on Wikipedia, and it's not fringe to mention this term which is widely used among Uyghur community, like World Uyghur Congress etc and is a historical term.

I don't understand your reasoning for constant reverting of my CORRECT calculations of the mean temperatures. For instance, the average high temperature for January is 25.5 and the average low is 11.6. The mean temperature is therefore 18.5. It is not 16.5 as currently stated in the climate box. This is a simple calculation. Take a calculator and do it yourself and you will get the same result. Please stop reverting my correct calculations. It is extremely annoying, and more importantly, it is factually incorrect. It seems you have a history of doing this, based on the Wuhan climate box section of your talk page.

You have now reverted my unhiding of the climate box on Wuhan twice. The first reason you gave was extremely weak. The second reason you gave was arrogant and dismissive of ordinary users of wikipedia. I am unimpressed with the attitude you are displaying. I have opened a section on the talk page. I am asking you to respond there. Oska ( talk) 20:56, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
I see now you had just responded there when I was leaving the message above. I will continue the discussion there. I do not resile from the views expressed above that the edit note reasons you gave were problematic. Oska ( talk) 21:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
I am unimpressed with your answer in that discussion and how you are wasting my time on this issue. But I have now responded, pointing out how you are misreading the style guide. I am also unimpressed with your recent mass revert on the Wuhan article that removed my edit but also edits by a number of other editors. It would appear that that edit was an underhand way to revert without doing an undo. Oska ( talk) 12:07, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Letting you know that I have requested a WP:THIRDOPINION over our dispute on how MOS:DONTHIDE applies to this issue. Oska ( talk) 12:40, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
The third opinion process (FAQ) is informal and I have no special powers or authority apart from being a fresh pair of eyes. Third opinions are not tiebreakers and should not be "counted" in determining whether or not consensus has been reached.You ignore this while attempting to castigate others for mis-interpreting MOS, and are beneath contempt.

daily mean data doesn't need the source—How is the mean calculated when the digit after the decimal point of the sum of the monthly normal maximum and minimum is odd. This is in direct contravention of WP:NOR. CaradhrasAiguo ( leave language) 19:58, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@ EzekielT and SuperKontik38: I just noticed this from a discussion below, but the mean is simply not the average of the average high and the average low. It may be close, particularly during the fall/spring and near the equator, but it can be wildly off depending on local conditions. The example given below is if it’s 0 degrees for 23 hours and 20 degrees for 1 hour, then the mean is the weighted average 20/24 ~0.83 degrees rather than 10 degrees. You need direct RS figures to report mean temperatures as many countries use hourly/bihourly measurements to calculate mean temperatures instead of half of the diurnal/monthly/annual temperature range (see discussion below). — MarkH21 talk 05:57, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
You recently reverted a change I made to the metro population update made April 26 2020. For most of recent memory the metro population was listed as 25 million, which is referenced in the current superscript link on the page (OECD Urban Policy Review etc. - under City and Population (millions): 25.0). However, the current box reads as 56,118,357, which is a number not supported by any references. Can you please point out to me where this very specific population number is being derived from in the referenced OECD study link that is being referenced? Radoria2 ( talk) 00:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi there. Can you explain why you suddenly attempted remove an entire section of sourced material without adequate explanation? Symphony Regalia ( talk) 22:12, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) @ Symphony Regalia and CaradhrasAiguo: I haven’t looked at the relevant talk page sections and formed a view on the actual dispute, but a reminder that the onus is for inclusion, not exclusion, to have consensus. So if there is no clear consensus to include the section, then it should remain removed until consensus arises to include it. — MarkH21 talk 02:32, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
monthsplural. If you had read WP:CON, you would have known that WP:COMMUNITYCONSENSUS is a separate section (and thus separate matter) from that which you linked.

You need to understand the different levels of practice here. WP:ONUS is a Wikipedia policy, which stands above guidelines and explanatory supplements as established standards by long-standing consensus. WP:REMOVAL is a Wikipedia essay, which has no standing whatsoever on practice and does not have acceptance by consensus.
WP:ONUS applies at all times, and inclusion
is not the same thing as addition
. It’s not somehow excluded for material that had a past assumed consensus that was not previously challenged; i.e.
assumed consensus by silence which is only presumed to exist until voiced disagreement becomes evident
.
Consensus changes, and material is always assessed at the current state of consensus. —

Why did you revert my edits to this page? Macao is a Special Administrative Region rather than a "provincial-level division of China", and Taiwan is a de facto independent country that is hardly ever viewed as a province of China; talking about both of these regions as if they were Chinese provinces doesn't seem all that neutral.

While you are perfectly at liberty to remove posts from your talk page they remain in your page history and removal means you have read and understand them. My template post about WP:CENSOR at Tibet Autonomous Region was prompted by your disruptive editing that another editor reverted before I got to it. My post on your talk page is not WP:NPA. If you want to go that route then you are going to make things more difficult for yourself. Just because you don't like editors making a post that from their point of view seems valid doesn't mean it's wrong. Please consider your next edit on Tibet Autonomous Region carefully and make your case for removal or changes to content on the talk page. Wikipedia is about discussion. Your edit was reverted follow WP:BRD. Thanks Robynthehode ( talk) 19:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Caradhras. You reverted this edit I made saying I removed text without giving "a valid reason" for doing so. I explained my action in the edit summary: the language I removed did not make sense. Here's the language I removed and you restored:
A german paper however noted that Adrian have used unconventional research methods to prove Chinese government's policies of repression on the Tibetans. The paper alleged that Adrian had analyzed job postings for security personnel in Tibet, compared them with data on self-immolation by Tibetans, and used that data to form his conclusions.
The "alleg[ation]" mentioned in the text has no apparent connection to the paragraph above summarizing Zenz's research, which doesn't mention repression of Tibetans, security personnel, or self-immolation. Nor is it clear even what is being alleged, as the text doesn't say how he analyzed anything, what comparisons he made, or what his conclusions were. The source is behind a paywall and the text in the Wikipedia article looks like a bad machine translation of the German in the first paragraph, but even in German the available section of the original doesn't clarify things. Could you explain why you think this section belongs in the article? 2601:18A:C680:1EB0:79A8:E11E:F8BD:C478 ( talk)
Can I ask what you think of the examples on the Wiktionary page https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/East_Turkestan ? The Uyghurs that manage to escape call it East Turkestan, and these detainees probably had similar thoughts seeing as they weren't sent back. It's important to provide all viewpoints on Wikipedia, and it's not fringe to mention this term which is widely used among Uyghur community, like World Uyghur Congress etc and is a historical term.
