Happy editing! Peaceray ( talk) 16:43, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Greetings!
Excellent work on the templates. If you are interested, you could write a section about Chinese and/or Japanese conservatism in the main article on conservatism under the heading "National variants". Other nations, such as India and South Korea, are already represented. I would have done it myself, but it's better to leave it to someone with genuine expertise on the topic. Then there's also the possibility of creating new articles that deal exclusively with Chinese and Japanese conservatism, respectively.

Hello, I'm
DB1729. I noticed that you recently
removed content from
Yamato people without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use
your 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.
Hi, thanks for providing this explanation. While I have struck through the templated warning above, the message still stands. I strongly suggest getting into the habit of always providing edit summaries, especially for major edits and those involving content removal. I would expect to be reverted if I removed a significant chunk of text without explanation. Editors reviewing should not have to try and figure out why something was removed.
Edit summaries can be a benefit to you as well. I have found them to be extremely helpful in referencing my previous edits, just for my own sake.
Have a great rest of your day:) Cheers! -- DB1729 talk 12:06, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Minzu (anthropology), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Masao Maruyama. 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, -- DPL bot ( talk) 18:04, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey there, and thanks for your recent contributions on China-related topics. One thing: when you add Chinese text to an article, could you please tag it appropriately as such? It's important for accessibility and other reasons, see this page for details. thanks! Remsense 诉 06:22, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Generally, you should not cite other Wikipedia articles, either on the English Wikipedia or another Wikispace, when explaining your edits or making arguments on improving articles. "It's there so why not here?" is an argument to avoid, the reason being that editors can add anything anywhere at anytime if they have editing access. Yue 🌙 20:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Radical pro-Beijing camp until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.Simonm223 ( talk) 13:04, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you
often edit without using an
edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in
your preferences. Thanks!

Hi ProKMT! I noticed that you recently moved a redirect. While this is possible, it is not normally necessary, and doing this can (for example) make it harder to find out how long a given redirect has existed for. You can instead create a new redirect from the title you wish to move the page to, and - if you believe that the other redirect should be deleted - you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.
Let me know if you have any queries. All the best, — a smart kitten[ meow 12:07, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

You have recently edited a page related to Falun Gong, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

I'm sorry if I seem like I've been putting a fair bit of pressure on you lately, especially because I don't want to WP:BITE a new editor but there's a few things I think you need to know if you want to have a productive editing experience:
I'm guessing from your username and from your talk page commentary that you have some very strong opinions about China. That's fine. Frankly so do I. This is not important though. What is important is that we edit for neutrality guided by reliable sources. We must ensure that the sources we use actually support the assertions we assign to them - this is a problem I have had with your "radical pro-Beijing" material - it is not supported by the sources you are citing. Trying to re-insert those sources on a new page minus the multitudinous failed verification tags which I added with edit summaries explaining exactly how they didn't support the assertions they claimed was a frustrating response to the AfD and not something you should have undertaken solo and without any talk page discussion. Likewise your assertions that, within Hong Kong any anti-Beijing faction categorically cannot be right-wing or that any pro-Beijing faction is intrinsically right wing must be supported by reliable sources. I'd suggest that these assertions come close to WP:FRINGE views and thus require extraordinary sourcing in order to assert in wiki voice. I will start a talk page discussion regarding your merge attempt. I strongly recommend you discuss your sources there before re-inserting your claims. Simonm223 ( talk) 21:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm getting increasingly alarmed by your consistent pattern of POV editing across topics related to China. This is exacerbated by your tendency to edit infoboxes and categories, eschewing WP:RS your non-responsiveness at article talk and the sheer volume of small edits across dozens of pages. I'd strongly recommend you stop, assemble your thoughts to these pervasive changes and approach WP:CHINA to discuss the thrust of these changes and build consensus before proceeding. Could you please do so - because I am afraid that, right now, you're creating a lot of cleanup work for people across a variety of pages with these haphazard and non-discussed revisions to categories, infoboxes and other such adjustments. Simonm223 ( talk) 16:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
@ ProKMT came from WP:3O. Would request advice to provide a neutral short summary (synopsis). Some quick tips may help you and others too, to help you. Happy editing Bookku ( talk) 08:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pro-Americanism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Hill.
( Opt-out instructions.) -- DPL bot ( talk) 05:58, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
The purpose of an infobox is to summarise, not supplant information in the article body. You do not need to add explanatory footnotes for every similarly named topic that readers may be confused about; that's what the disambiguation hatnotes are for in the main articles.
What I mean by this is, for example, you do not need to add the same footnote about Taiwanese nationalism in the Japanese era being different from the modern era to every infobox mention of Taiwanese nationalism before the modern era. This is a distinction that should be made in the article Taiwanese nationalism itself, and you should assume readers can figure out that distinction by reading the Taiwanese People's Party article itself. If they can't, you didn't do a good job of making it clear in the article body (in this case, you didn't make the effort at all).
Such lengthy footnotes, without proper explanations in the article body, are counter-intuitive to MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE. In a nutshell, you're supposed to make a nice box with concise information, not include lengthy notes for people to read because, if you do, then why would readers bother with the article body when the article body has been placed inside the infobox? In this case, I'd contend that the footnote is wholly unnecessary anyways, because the distinction should be obvious to readers from the article body, otherwise you should be more specific with what you add to the infobox, e.g. Taiwanese independence from Japan (or just Taiwanese independence; you don't have to clarify that it isn't independence from China because readers should be able to figure out from the article that Taiwan was under Japanese rule at the time!).
TL;DR, don't assume readers are poorly read and spoon feed them all the context improperly (i.e. by putting them in the infobox in contraduction of MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE), even if that assumption is likely true for the average reader. Yue 🌙 06:13, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
