Propaganda isn't allowed

I know you just love China, but Wikipedia is not the place for propaganda. I deleted that section of the Gorges dam because it is a copy from a copyrighted site. It is also hugely biased to your country. The other section I changed because they are completely biased and Wikipedia in my opinion should be unbiased (This is really biased). Even if it makes your shity ass country look even worse to live in. The dam has its problems and is an environmental issue. I am not against the dam of China, just think Wikipedia should be unbiased, not a place of propaganda. Also, the sections I edited/deleted had Chinese gov. websites as the only sources. The Chinese gov. websites are not unbiased and don't constitute a source unless there is an alternative view website to go along with them. Please don't undo my edits as they are there to make Wikipedia unbiased and based upon facts (ones from China don't always constitute facts as China uses propaganda to a degree). Please don't keep changing this just because you don't like what it says. Too bad. I bet you undo edits on the dams criticism page as well. Get use to it. China isn't all perfect and by the way their economy isn't all booming. Oh, and one last thing, free tibet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.211.177 (talk) 04:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
