Removal of Taiwan

Recently, an editor has removed Taiwan from the article. This is considered vandalism since Taiwan is regarded as a "state" in the English Wikipedia article "Taiwan". Wikipedia doesn't follow United Nations recognition alone. It also takes into account many other factors. The fact alone of Taiwan not being a member of the United Nations does not give Chinese Wikipedians the right to censor its presence from this article and various others across the English and Chinese Wikipedias. Wikipedia is not a platform for the propagation of political propaganda. It is a platform that is designed to teach people around the world about the perspectives of people from around the world. So, Taiwan is here to stay. And any additional cases of vandalism will be reverted and reported. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 12:34, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Wikipedia is not a platform for the propagation of political propagand"

Incorrect information

In the Definitions and Boundaries section, the map of the UNSD geoscheme of Asia is incorrect. The UNSD places Iran under South Asia, not West Asia.

In the Religion section, the pie chart does not accurately display what the Legend describes. Ricemaster12 (talk) 00:55, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On Wikipedia, we go by what the mainstream of reliable sources say, your insistance to label Iran as a Central Asian or south Asian country is starting to be disruptive.---Wikaviani ^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:11, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
