Update and Improve the article about Global Connectivity Index

My name is Damian, I am a Digital Strategist at Social@Ogilvy Hong Kong, and I am writing on behalf of my client Huawei Technologies. We would like to request an update to the Global Connectivity Index article, the index is commissioned by Huawei Technologies and the 2015 report was published in April 2015.

As a result we would like to update the article with the latest information regarding the methodology behind the data, the latest results, key findings from the 2015 report and new sources.

Please find the updated article below including updated sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_Connectivity_Index

Would appreciate your help to have an updated article which will benefit our readers,

Thank you

WikiProject X pilot testing

Hello WikiProject China!

Based on the recommendation of Trust Is All You Need, I am happy to announce that WikiProject X has selected this project as part of a round of pilot testing.

The goal of WikiProject X is to improve the WikiProject experience through research, design, and experimentation. On that basis, we've prepared a new WikiProject design template based around modules. These modules include features you are already familiar with, such as article alerts, but also new features such as automated work lists, a feed of discussions taking place on the 43,293 talk pages tagged by WikiProject China, and a new member profile system. To see what this new setup looks like, you can browse the first round of pilot tests: WikiProject Cannabis, WikiProject Evolutionary biology, WikiProject Ghana, WikiProject Hampshire, WikiProject Women's Health.

If there is consensus among the participants of this WikiProject, I will proceed with implementing this interface based on the current contents of Wikipedia:WikiProject China. Please let me know if you have any questions or requests. Harej (talk) 22:59, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose. Sorry, Harej. I like a lot of what you've been producing with WikiProject X. The perspectives from project members, the student stories pointing out what drew them to choose a project, and the directory with active members (I especially like this) are great. A key component of the new design is Flow. Under it, contributors who're non-registered can't do ordinary refactoring, or even edit their own comments--yet their comments can be freely edited by any registered logged‑in user. Communication is central to collaboration and consensus-building here. I simply can't support a change that'd cripple the ability to participate, in maintenance as well as basic discussion, for a large portion of editors. –146.198.31.199 (talk) 20:05, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

International schools that do not admit Mainland Chinese students?

Is there a list of international schools that do not admit Mainland Chinese students? I heard that while many do, there are some that do not.

Also I wonder if all of the Japanese, French, German, and South Korean international schools in Mainland China prohibit Mainland Chinese students from enrolling... WhisperToMe (talk) 10:07, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Tibet flag data

Hello all. If you are interested, there is a proposal at Template talk:Country data China to use the PRC flag for Tibet instead of the current Tibetan flag. This would affect all the flag templates that use the country data, which is all of them, as far as I'm aware. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 08:45, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Even if country data templates are modified, people will continue to completely misuse flags throughout Wikipedia. For instance, Türkvizyon Song Contest uses the blue crescent moon flag to represent the "country" (as quoted by footnote C) of Xinjiang. Rather than simply deciding on what to do for one template, a decision needs to be made for the Manual of Style. --benlisquare_T•C•E 11:12, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

WP:MOSFLAG is already pretty clear: "In general, if a flag is felt to be necessary, it should be that of the sovereign state (e.g. the United States of America or Canada) not of a subnational entity, even if that entity is sometimes considered a "nation" or "country" in its own right... Some flags are politically contentious – take care to avoid using them in inappropriate contexts."

The more fundamental problem with that Song Contest article is that its claim about Xinjiang's participation does not match the source. Also, I see no MOS-compliant use of the flag at {{Country data Tibet}} for any article in which it is included. Shrigley (talk) 04:58, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
