Striving

To exert much effort or energy; endeavor. I guess you have failed. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 22:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Provide specific evidence of failure to comply with NPOV. Sean.hoyland - talk 02:07, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not talking about violation, rather an honor to present knighthood regalities. Editors who honestly believe in their neutrality, just fool themselves. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 10:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

610 Office

I've reverted you on 610 Office. If you refer to the talk page discussion here[1], you'll see that 'persecution' is commonly used by reliable sources, and is more precise and descriptive than "operations." Also, the office was established to coordinate and direct the suppression of Falun Gong exclusively. Its mandate was expanded several years later to include other spiritual and qigong groups, and that fact is noted a little bit later in the introduction.

Yes, I saw that but I think the source sampling and analysis are probably flawed resulting in a statement that uses a non-neutral voice, a statement that in my view does not maximize policy compliance. Given the requirements of NPOV, the statement in its current form looks like an inappropriate use of the voice of the encyclopedia to me. It looks like advocacy given that it samples advocacy sources and picks a particular construction, one of many, and excludes the stated function according to the CCP's narrative. I'll have a look through those sources and others and respond on the article talk page when I get a chance. For interest, it is the kind of statement that would not survive in the WP:ARBPIA topic area, another topic area with conflicting points of view and source diversity. It's like saying "for the purpose of...collective punishment of Palestinians" in the unattributed voice of the encyclopedia, a statement for which countless Amnesty, HRW, UN, scholarly, media etc sources could be found or "for the purpose of...delegitimizing the State of Israel" in the unattributed voice of the encyclopedia, another POV that is widespread and easily sourceable.

semi-protection

I semi-protected this page for a week to slow the attacks down. Let me know if you'd like it reversed or extended. Zero^talk 03:58, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I don't really mind the attacks. My neighbor has a small yappy dog so I'm used to this kind of noise. Sean.hoyland - talk 05:53, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
