Issues in the Current Version

[edit]

1. The timeline of the movement is not well described, since a lot of information is based on tweets.

2. Reaction of the Public (China/Hongkong/Global/...) needs to be added. JohnGalt1984 (talk) 15:06, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

3. Add Chinese netizen's reactions to Shinzo Abe's death, including how the businesses in China used it as a marketing tool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikiko609 (talkcontribs) 23:13, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

[edit]

The Great Translation Movement does not meet notability guidelines — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.213.82.20 (talk) 14:57, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The only articles on this are puff pieces that do not go into the racism shown by this twitter account, and it is not solely criticised by state media. If those articles are deemed to meet notability guidelines then it should instead be corrected for neutrality. 195.213.82.20 (talk) 12:21, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sections highlighting the anti-Chinese and anti-Russian racism present in the movement

[edit]

May I ask why my sections which were properly referenced that mention the anti-Chinese and anti-Russian motives of the movement were removed? 129.97.125.1 (talk) 23:38, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that these two claims are asserted as fact by citing an opinion piece from The Paper. There are two issues with this: firstly, opinion pieces are not reliable sources for statements of fact (see WP:NEWSORG); secondly, even if the article was a news report, it The Paper would likely not be considered a reliable source, due to its ownership by the Shanghai United Media Group, which is a state media company. (See the listing for Sixth Tone at WP:RSP, which is owned by the same company.)
WP:ATT provides guidelines on how to properly attribute opinions. In this case, you could write in the "Chinese government and state media" section something like "An editorial posted on The Paper, a Chinese digital newspaper run by the state-owned Shanghai United Media Group called the movement X and Y".
