Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Gender inequality in China, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. TylerBurden (talk) 04:40, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Did you actually click the links? Now I've replaced the reference with two relevant ones: In this report https://hdr.undp.org/en/composite/GII,

line 85, you would find China, and the next column is the Inequality Index (GII), you can find the correspondent ranking for China which is 39.

you can also find the same result on this Wiki link for Inequality Index (GII): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_Inequality_Index LaurenceGray (talk) 06:21, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I believe the conflict here is that there are two studies on global gender inequality: United Nations and World Economic Forum, and while you have seen the former, you believe the latter is more reliable, is this correct? LaurenceGray (talk) 07:20, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I did check the sources, the ranking you are adding does not exist within any of them. I have restored the WEF source which previously had the incorrect ranking (ranking somewhere in the 90's, while it actually says 57). You are free to add more content to the article, but then your sources need to back up the content. Also a tip, don't accuse other editors of vandalism when that's not what they are doing, me reverting your unsourced changes is not vandalism. Falsely accusing people of vandalism counts as a personal attack on Wikipedia and can get you swiftly blocked. It's also not a great way to engage with other editors in general, unless what they are doing is clearly vandalism. I don't see how you could make the reach that me trying to have content be based on the sources is vandalism. TylerBurden (talk) 02:15, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
