Review the description of captioned photo
In my opinion the allegation was in such controversy that views are very much polarised.
My point is that a more accurate description to the photo is the essence to enable viewers to see the context of the debate. The reason why the HKPF was being alleged is largely because of the excessive use of deadly force without legitimate explanation and genuine need at the scenes.
As depicted in this photo, the office was pointing his firearm, which is a deadly force, to unarmed civilians, not in attempt to alleviate the confrontation but rather, an act to overpower the crowd.
Therefore my description was merely a supplementary comment on the fact of what actually happen on the scene with factual description of was was going on, which was not shown in the photo at the angle of where it was taken.
Thanks in advance for your comment. NeutrumOratio (talk) 00:36, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- @NeutrumOratio: I understand what you mean, and I agree that a photo depicting such an incident would be noteworthy for the article. However, the image does not show an officer pointing his firearm at unarmed civilians; there are no civilians in the photo itself and the firearm is not fully raised. Just from the photo itself, one cannot tell if the firearm is pointed at anyone.
- Do you have reliable sources stating that this specific photo is in fact the situation that you described? It has to be certain through reliable sources that in the moment this photo is taken, the officer is pointing the firearm at a civilian if such a description is to be used in the caption. For instance, it may not be enough if a reliable source describes such an incident but just displays the image on the page without actually linking the two together. — MarkH21talk 00:39, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Recent discussion
Hello MarkH21. In the recently closed thread on "Use of racial slur" at AN/I, you say this:
"They clearly like to use the word whenever the opportunity to make a joke about anything Chinese arises."
I think that claim is a little wide of the mark and I wondered if you wanted to explain why you came to that conclusion? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:36, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- I don't think prolonging this discussion will lead to anywhere positive. Liz Read! Talk! 22:16, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- That's a shame. I was hoping Mark might want to offer his own thoughts on the subject. Many thanks for your advice. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:27, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Martinevans123: My wording was perhaps hyperbolic, but it was based on the observation that you used
chink
twice in Chinese-related jokes in two separate incidents ("Darned Chinks", "chink in your grammatical armour"). — MarkH21talk 00:27, 13 March 2020 (UTC)- Thanks for explaining, Mark. No worries. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:37, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Since we are beating this drum at ANI, can you tell me why you think it's acceptable to be discussing someone's (supposed) conduct, whilst all the time nurturing incivility on the board? Not nice, belittling someone's user name, is it Marky? CassiantoTalk 20:48, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Cassianto: I’m not condoning the name used by the editor here, but just pointing out that directly editing another editor’s comment after being reverted is prohibited per WP:REFACTOR. But doing here exactly what you are protesting there doesn’t help anyone. — MarkH21talk 20:55, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- I think you'll find that civility is a policy and your effort is, well, nothing really. Just something dreamt up by a do-gooder who's forgotten what an encyclopedia is. You need to get your priorities right. CassiantoTalk 21:06, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Cassianto: Directly editing an editor’s comment is unlikely to resolve incivility issues though. It only escalates. You’ll find that I asked the editor to redact the username shortening. — MarkH21talk 21:09, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Belittling someone's username, and following it with a PA, is likely to increase incivility, wouldn't you agree? CassiantoTalk 21:17, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, but my point is that both actions were likely to escalate issues. Obviously one more than the other, but we can only directly control our response. — MarkH21talk 21:21, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Sir u see now. Exact words of source now. Any problem please tell. Thank u. Pandya101 (talk) 18:51, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
Sir tell me if source words exact copy or not. First u cancel as no exact words. Now edit cancel saying exact words not aloud. Sir please add it. Thank u. Pandya101 (talk) 19:30, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Pandya101: The original
they are best
is clearly subjective and unencyclopedic language that cannot be directly stated in Wikipedia’s voice (i.e. it has to be attributed to someone).For the follow-up, it is against Wikipedia’s copyright policy to copy exact wording or extremely close paraphrasing, essentially unless it is clearly attributed and a quote. — MarkH21talk 20:09, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
Your accusation of disruptive editing and removing 700 points of information
I found your comment on my talk page very rude. Open any video of any person touring a Chinese wet Market, and you'll see they trade Dogs, Cats, and even frogs if they have. Some dealers even have ivory tusks, Bush meat, And rhino Horns. Why are some editors like yourself completely erasing information unless a "source" is provided when a Source is not needed, unless you motives to not let the general public read that little quote that you embarrass what should be shameful practice. If there is Anything that is disruptive, its your deletion of my expansion of an article and writing threats on my talk accusing me of subjective "destructive" editing. Biomax20 (talk) 06:11, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- All content must be verifiable through reliable sources per Wikipedia’s policy on verifiability, and the burden is on the editor adding information to provide references. That’s what all three warnings on your talk page are about.I am not disputing that there was illegal wildlife trade occurring in some Chinese wet markets, but the claims in your additions were unreferenced. That’s it. — MarkH21talk 07:03, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
@MarkH21 "but the claims in your additions were unreferenced." No they were not, because in context every word written was tied to the word "Wet Markets" and the internet is FULL of documentation regarding "claims" which arent "Claims" but "fact". If you're having such a Hard time with "claims" and "Unreferenced" information, we live in the digital age 2020. A 10 second google on the subject will enlighten you that its FACT not CLAIM. And perhaps you could help BUILD a a article, as was the original idea of wikipedia and not DESTROY information as you are, clearly, so viciously doing. Biomax20 (talk) 16:59, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Biomax20: Please carefully read the policy, which I did not make up myself:
The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution...
Cite the source clearly and precisely (specifying page, section, or such divisions as may be appropriate).
- It doesn’t matter if you think that someone can find the information you added by searching for it online themselves. You have to add a citation. — MarkH21talk 17:52, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Source for birthplace of Patrick X. Gallagher
Your edit to the article for Patrick X. Gallagher added him to Category:People from Elizabeth, New Jersey, but in a Google search I can't find a source that indicates that he was born there. Which of the sources i the article establishes Elizabeth as his place of birth? Alansohn (talk) 13:13, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- I had noticed that the birthplace was added to the German Wikipedia article and was referenced to American Men and Women of Science. Gale. 2004., so I transferred it over to the article here. I didn’t check this source myself though. — MarkH21talk 19:12, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. I had found American Men and Women of Science in a Snippet view on Google Books, but I was unable to confirm his birthplace. I will check further. You seem to have access to a deep library of sources. Could you try to look a little deeper, perhaps for an obituary? Alansohn (talk) 21:30, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
Your incessant harassment and demands about 'references'
Would you kindly cease harassing me with your and other editor subjective 'reference' demands and destructive article information deletion. Im a local within Libya and likely the only person editing matters on regarding my country from within my country, as neutrally and morally as possible. Your deletions, warnings and subjective demands for References are very aggressive and feel politically motivated.
Edit: This is a online, Digital encyclopedia open to the Public, for Editing. I have done nothing but good by adding information, Unlike some, who seem to only search for reasons to destroy information. If you are that irritated by missing references, please feel free, to open a new tab in your browser and check feedback for yourself, and perhaps 'HELP' edit for a greater good, rather than being toxic and slapping a warning on a contributor. Secondly, My edits on the Articles on the Battle of Tripoli, WAS referenced, from the very reliable sources, such as BBC, ALJAZEERA, AND news sites, Moreover, being a citizen of Libya, wrote and added information with respect to the article that should be mentioned, WITHIN Context of the SUBJECT. All referenced sources of information, already mentioned all the points being told within the Article. Your claims that information is referenced, feel somewhat politically motivated. Biomax20 (talk) 17:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Biomax20: Please carefully read the policy, which I did not make up myself:
The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution...
Cite the source clearly and precisely (specifying page, section, or such divisions as may be appropriate).
- It doesn’t matter if you think that someone can find the information you added by searching for it online themselves. You have to add a citation. We use
unreferenced
here to mean lacking a citation. - On the Battle of Tripoli Airport edit, I did not remove anything that was properly referenced, except for the three YouTube links. If the news source does not directly say something, you cannot personally infer information and write your interpretation by the policy against original research and synthesis. Furthermore, your edit misrepresented what is cited to the existing LA Times reference, by adding claims immediately before it.
- Wikipedia relies on citations. Please carefully cite information and avoid adding your own interpretation of what is written in reliable sources. — MarkH21talk 17:57, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
@MarkH21: Sounds to me your edits are just politically motivated. Biomax20 (talk) 18:37, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Biomax20: Please read Wikipedia’s policy on personal attacks before making further baseless accusations of political POV editing, in addition to WP:BURDEN which you have still not followed. — MarkH21talk
@MarkH21: Please cease harassing me and removing information from every single article relating to Libya. I think Wikipedia has a policy on harassment too? "baseless accusations" why are you editing and deleting information from my articles then? Biomax20 (talk) 18:56, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Biomax20: You repeatedly added content that was either unreferenced or poorly formatted, the former being a more serious offense against Wikipedia policies. Accusing editors of politically motivated POV edits with nothing but your own personal hunch is even more egregious. — MarkH21talk 19:11, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
@MarkH21: I could say the exact same thing regarding your opinion on "was either unreferenced or poorly formatted" being "your own personal hunch". Its been a number of days since you began latching on to any edits i did yet, and yet, you havent contributed any productive editing. Its just been destructive editing, removal of information and labeling that information as "requiring references". I am not arguing against providing references, i would happily do that, however that is very time consuming. I spent the Entire day fixing the "Attack on Tripoli airport" article to deny you any excuse to delete the information. And yes, i accused you of suspected political motivation, because you havent provided anything constructive to any of the subjects. Not on the Tripoli Airport subject, and not on the RADA deterrence force article. As a Libyan, far too many controversies and crimes with people trying to sweep information under the carpet, and your "Destructive" editing or rule nagging isn't boding well. You havent even engaged in on the Article talk page to discuss editing. I could have "satisfied" your personal requirements for "Encyclopedic" content as you said it. - I am just being Frank with you. As for "poorly formatted", you are more than welcome to contribute with your superior formatting skills providing it isnt destructive, and doesnt include constant nagging that my piece of information is "Unsatisfactory" according to your "Encyclopedic requirements". Biomax20 (talk) 19:26, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Biomax20: Err, content that does not have a supporting citation just does not have a supporting citation. It can't be a personal hunch if there's literally no citation.Unreferenced content in a controversial topic can be just as damaging as adding content. Per Wikipedia policy at WP:CHALLENGE, the burden is on the editor adding the material to add the citations, not the editor challenging it. That's how we help ensure neutrality and rigor in the material on Wikipedia.Something that should be more alarming to you is the addition of unreferenced biased content, not the removal of unreferenced content in the name of verifiability.On a final note, comments like
I will revert all the information Vandalization and attempt to lock this article
andYour pathetic attempts to sweep warcrimes under the rug will NOT succeed
is not particularly conducive to article talk page discussion, nor does it inspire confidence in your ability to edit neutrally. — MarkH21talk 19:31, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
@MarkH21: Well then please to do what wikipedia was designed to do, that is adding in citation and reference, that is if you bothered with the article with the intent on improving it rather than using a set of rules for destructive behavior which you are clearly engaged in doing. You are acting as wikipedia police, rather than a constructive editor. Theres no such thing as "personal hunch". There is Claim, and there is Google. Go google a claim made by a person if you have THAT much of a problem with an unreferenced piece sentence. "That's how we help ensure neutrality and rigor in the material on Wikipedia." No thats how you help send the article to oblivion, as was the case when i first opened the Attack on Tripoli airport article, which had all information from it removed from Edits from people who had their own little opinions on what should be edited. To you its "Encyclopedic", To me, a Libya, this is a matter of war crimes and Vital information that needs to be exposed. If it was unreferenced, you could have simply asked in the Talk page. Or placed "Citation needed" as you did recently, rather than DELETING. That is DESTRUCTIVE. Also " unreferenced biased content", This phrase right here, is why people think your edits are politically motivated. Either way, i will be editing with references, and i will be denying you excuses for further destructive editing because i understand the subject, because i've lived through it. Kindly, again, cease harassing me. The only reason information wasnt "Referenced" according to your standards is just because i was lazy. Biomax20 (talk) 19:44, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Biomax20: Listen, I'm trying to explain Wikipedia's policy for your and everyone else's benefit. It is not just my interpretation; the policy has been decided by consensus from a very large group of experienced editors:
The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution
. It's very simple. There's nothing about being destructive. It doesn't take much to add something back once you find a reference.However, if you continue to add uncited content and continue to react and accuse others of harassment and political motivation when warned by other editors, you may find yourself blocked by an administrator. This is not a threat from me, I am informing you because I think that you are a good-faith editor but are slightly defensive on controversial issues.Finally, I did not call your editsunreferenced biased content
. I said that you should be more concerned with (hypothetical / other) editors adding unreferenced biased content.Don't belazy
, and stop throwing around accusations of harassment, vandalism, and political motivation. My warnings to you are meant to be constructive and prevent avoidable and unpleasant further consequences. — MarkH21talk 19:53, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
@MarkH21: Actions speak louder than words. Your actions involved policing wikipedia policies, and removing information. You havent provided any reasoning behind deleting edits other than calling up "Wikipedias policies". What did you add to those articles? Near to nothing. ( Thank you for the grammar and other helpful edits, albeit minor CONSTRUCTIVE edits ). "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution", Wikipedia doesnt specify that you should Delete said information. It specifies that the claimant has the burden to provide a source. And before engaging in destructive behaviour, such as "Deletion" of information which, with respect, seems to fly over your head, and will only create conflict by acting as Wikipedia censor police, could have atleast added a "Citation needed" tag, or a note or contacted me on Talk page, and i would have happily added a source to the 'claims'. This is the second argument in context that i am trying to relay to you. Biomax20 (talk) 20:02, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Biomax20: I hope you realize that
calling up "Wikipedias policies"
is the strongest reason to make an edit. That's what Wikipedia is built upon, andGoing against the principles set out on these pages, particularly policy pages, is unlikely to prove acceptable
per WP:ENFORCEMENT. Again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with removing unreferenced content. It is not considered negatively destructive, and can be just as easily restored once a source is found. If you actually read the policy, it clearly statesAny material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source
. In fact, the onus for adding even verifiable information is on those adding disputed content, per WP:ONUS.Follow this advice closely: follow Wikipedia policies and don't throw around unsupported accusations editors that warn you of breaches of policy. This is the last time that I will tell you this directly outside of a report at an appropriate centralized noticeboard, since further repeating of these core tenets may not resolve these issues. — MarkH21talk 20:14, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Theres a fine thin line, between an editor that takes time reading a "Source" and another that fails to read already provided sources claiming that theres "no source" because said editor wasnt spoon fed the exact phrase, deleting information with a baseless claim that something isnt cited or "Sourced". Example The Cathedral of Tripoli article. I provided a source of Information that came from a researcher who had information in Italian, that was very difficult to come by because of the scarcity of Information. I am surprised to you haven't deleted the entire article and frankly expected you to damage it. With that being said, please dont. Biomax20 (talk) 20:33, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- You'll have to explain where the
already provided sources
are in here or here. Oh there are none, except some YouTube links in the latter that don't say what was added.Anyways, we're done here. I hope you got the message that multiple editors have been telling you. Happy editing. — MarkH21talk 20:40, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Macau
Hi MarkH21, I removed content again that you restored in the Macau article because the information cited from that reference can't be verified in more authoritative sourcing. I don't have problems with the content itself or the way it was written and would be fine with restoring it if a publication or journal could be found to reference that. Thanks, Horserice (talk) 22:00, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Horserice: I’m not sure what you mean by unverifiable, since you could follow the citation to the source. If you mean that you want separate reliable sources, that’s a different thing than verifiability. — MarkH21talk 03:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Found other sources, including a Macau government publication, an ethnology encyclopedia, and a political handbook. Seems sufficient to add back. — MarkH21talk 03:18, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- @MarkH21: Yes, I meant I wanted reliable sources, aka WP:Verifiability. Those sources seem fine, I'm okay with that bit being added back in. Horserice (talk) 04:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Koro Kaisan Miles
While Draft:Koro Kaisan Miles may not have been your draft, you did submit it for AFC review, so you were picked by the review script as the person who messages should be communicated to. I have corrected this mistake and suggest more caution in the future. Hasteur (talk) 00:53, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Hasteur: Ah, I see. I think I accidentally submitted the draft in this edit when I meant to place an AfC draft banner for Zenothing. Thanks. — MarkH21talk 02:50, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi MarkH21, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 03:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

My edits tonight
Hi there,
I very much appreciate the constructive feedback on my edits. I am however, using this as a final project for a class. There is a certain word count requirement I need to fulfill. If you wouldn't mind restoring my edits and leaving them as such for just a week, that would be great. After a week, I promise, you may revise my edits however you want. I really just want to finish out the semester strong. I understand that you are more experienced than myself, and I don't mean to encroach on this hobby of yours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aujokill (talk • contribs) 03:47, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Aujokill: Could you clarify on this? Do you mean that your final assignment has a minimum number of words that you need to add to a Wikipedia page?Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not work like this. We cannot leave information up temporarily solely for someone to fulfill course requirements. That’s not within the purpose of Wikipedia. Either the material is suitable or it’s not, there’s not temporary pass for various people’s assignments. The hope is that you are here to contribute to building an encyclopedia; blatant ulterior motives aren’t really allowed.Nevertheless, there is plenty of room for you to contribute! For instance, there is plenty of directly relevant material in this SCMP article and this Reuters article that would be valuable additions to the Xinjiang re-education camp article. In particular, it would be worth describing the disparity between the Chinese government position that the labor element of the camps is a

Do not edit/add/remove anything in the articel "Le dynasty" or your may be limited from editing. 2601:204:E37F:FFF1:C42C:E57:AFDB:17AC (talk) 18:29, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

During this period, Mac dynasty was the tributary/vassal state to Ming. Neither Le. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:204:E37F:FFF1:C42C:E57:AFDB:17AC (talk) 18:34, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- All of these sources would beg to differ: academic paper, academic paper, Encyclopaedia Britannica, academic review, and countless more. During the Mac dynasty, it was a tributary to the Ming. That doesn't mean that the Le dynasty wasn't a tributary state to the Ming. — MarkH21talk 18:47, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

- Status doesn't mean anything at least all nations were maintaining independent. Today it's globalized world, not a world seen by Chinese imperialism's eyes, so history must be like that.2601:204:E37F:FFF1:C42C:E57:AFDB:17AC (talk) 19:02, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? The important subordinate relationship is an important facet of the dynasty, which the infobox summarizes. This isn't claiming that it's not independent. This also has nothing to do with the modern day. There are also a lot of examples of the usage of the "status" parameter for tributary states: Ryukyu Kingdom, Emirate of Granada, Lanfang Republic, Kingdom of Chiang Mai, Kingdom of Larantuka, Duchy of Brittany. — MarkH21talk 19:05, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- Countries with status parameters for tributary states should only be those that changed their status (Vietnam under Nguyễn dynasty, Ryukyu islands for example) or small states that would then be annexed by their lords like Chiang Mai whereas their status did matter in their political and historical information.--NhatMinh1701 (talk) 08:45, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
- That’s an unnecessarily arbitrary inclusion criterion. The status of a tributary state is fundamental information for understanding its context, regardless of whether it changed during the course of the state’s existence. It absolutely matters in the political and historical aspects, particularly in this case when various Vietnamese dynasties were sovereign states and various Vietnamese dynasties were tributary states. The distinction between them is crucial context.Put another way, the use of the status parameter as intended adds information about a state’s crucial external relationships (already referenced in the article body) to the infobox. So far, there hasn’t been a single cogent reason to specifically exclude that information. Assertions that it just shouldn’t be there and ”I don’t like it” don’t count. — MarkH21talk 09:28, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

The Mac dynasty was a close vassal state to Ming just like Joseon, they did not have any Qing supports. 2601:204:E37F:FFF1:C42C:E57:AFDB:17AC (talk) 20:32, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
