Guidelines for the article Taiwan

The following guidelines have been established by consensus and convention:

Simplified Chinese shall remain in the linguistics infobox per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (use of Chinese language)#Simplified and Traditional
Please do not add Simplified characters and tongyong pinyin to the country infobox.
Please refrain from adding "(Taiwan)" all over the article as this article includes substantial information about the Republic of China prior to the Taiwan post-war era.

Possible copyright problem

This article has been revised as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

In addition to the template, I want to add that it has recently been discovered that this user has returned despite his ban and persisted in copying content against policy, against our Terms of Use, and against copyright laws from other sources. In some cases, this can be repaired through attribution; in others, the material was taken from external sources and cannot. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FreshCorp619 for more information about why any content added to Wikipedia by User:Wrestlingring needs to be checked for copyright compliance before it is retained. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:49, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Liberal democracy?

^{[citation needed]}

I am sure that plenty of sources accept this position, such as here, but as this is a biased source I can't use it, but I can't seem to find any data that contradicts this claim. --Regards, Donald Trung (Talk) 16:10, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What are you proposing to add/change in the article? It currently does not contain the phrase "liberal democracy." It had been tagged with Category:Liberal democracies but this tag was deleted per this discussion. If you are proposing to describe Taiwan as a "liberal democracy" somewhere in the article, you might check whether "Liberal democracies around the world" lists a relevant source for Taiwan.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Ivecos (t) 10:24, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 7 February 2018

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Taiwan. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
