Change to Miles Kwok?

In the English media, I've seen the name Guo addressed as "Miles Kwok" much more than Guo Wen-gui. Should we move the page to Miles Kwok? --Daviddwd (talk) 07:34, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As my routine comment on other WP:RM, please provide external link and article as evidence. NYTimes use Guo Wengui, SCMP use Guo Wengui, Bloomberg use Guo Wengui. More (sarcasm) ? Matthew hk (talk) 07:37, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The first page of google results for "Miles Kwok" are all news stories from various sources about "Guo Wengui (also known as Miles Kwok)", so I would say that this page should not be moved. BabelStone (talk) 01:29, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hatchet job

I claim POV and non-RS on this bit: 

The proceedings state that in May 2017, Guo Wengui publicly offered rewards for so-called "confidential documents" of the Chinese Government, which was deemed a profitable opportunity by Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng. The former reached out to...

Scary quotes, too detailed, etc. Please check or remove. Zezen (talk) 06:17, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This story from The New York Times is very informative:

Mention of his career as a musician

There are several songs credited to Miles Guo (as singer and songwriter) on YouTube; should this article mention his side career as a musician? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 05:34, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy Section wording and sourcing

Earlier today I reverted two unsourced edits [1][2] by @CatchBias. They again reverted my reverts and then tripped Cluebot NG's filters. CatchBias then added their edit again but with a wall street journal opinion article as the source. That edit was reverted by @Novem Linguae. I believe my initial reverts fall under Wikipedia's policy for unsourced material in the biographies of a living persons without question. I believe @Novem Linguae's edit falls under Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons section about sources that are challenged or likely to be challenged. Furthermore, the article sourced by @CatchBias is clearly an opinion piece which falls under Statments of opinion. As far as my feelings on the matter, I say we leave the section as is, because it was already properly sourced and the language before the edits adhered to the manual of style. I'd be interested to hear other's opinions on the matter as well! Thanks, Philipnelson99 (talk) 00:41, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Probably falls under WP:NPOV too. Saying that a media publication "spread truth" in Wikivoice is a major tone problem. That was the main reason I chose to revert and warn. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:21, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 16 February 2022

None of this is cited. "In April 2020, Guo wengui began to sell all illegal products of G series, including G dollar and G coins. He advocated private placement and asked everyone[who?] to invest. He promised 17.5% annual income. The majority of investors found that it was a fraud and reported it." Googling +"Guo wengui" +"g dollar" does not result in any reputable results. Tmpst (talk) 05:28, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Seems reasonable to remove it. The citation given for that paragraph doesn't mention G currency. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:09, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Guo is a member of former U.S. President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and Mark's Club in Mayfair, London." to "Guo is a member of former U.S. President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida."

Remove the mention of Mark's Club in Mayfair as it is a private members club and membership is strictly not public information. I am the PR Executive of The Birley Clubs, please email me at kyosumi@birleyclubs.co.uk if you want to discuss this further. Knysm (talk) 12:44, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Misinformation campaign against him

In the section "Misinformation campaign against Guo Wengui", it is stated that government controlled accounts are publishing misinformation against Guo wengui, citing an ASPI report. However, the report does not mention "minsinformation" and explicitly states that they can't be sure whether the government is involved or not AAAAA143222 (talk) 15:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possible affiliation with China's Ministry of State Security

Has Guo Wengui acknowledged that he had been a longtime "affiliate" of China's Ministry of State Security (MSS), which is said to have tasked him with "handling things for them" and connecting with "sensitive figures" abroad, traveling on 11 different passports and employing the code name Wu Nan?

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 28 June 2023

To change 2023 fraud, to 2023 fraud lawsuit, to indicate the status of the case as unresolved. I'd also like to add on that topic that 'M. Miles Guo will be held in federal prison until 2024, that's 10 month jail minimum, after being denied bail, and thus before any judgment was rendered.'
