Comment
EF English First, Wenzhou - this is advertising, isn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.211.0.163 (talk) 18:23, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Religion
Between late 2000 and early 2002 the government began destroying or closing churches and temples. This affected Christians, Buddhists and Taoists. A number of large house churches closed up, met in smaller groups and then when things calmed down they met again. No additional reference available as this was a first hand account spoken to this author.
That would be original research then, which has no place in Wikipedia. If you are unable to verify the statement, it should be removed completely. I have removed the last sentence to this page until verification can be obtained. Skinsmoke (talk) 12:27, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I say go ahead in removing an unsourced, [potentially] controversial claim. --HXL's Roundtable, and Record 21:40, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Pretty sure I saw something covering this recently, maybe in Niall Ferguson's Civilization, covering the prominence and treatment of Christianity in Wenzhou. — LlywelynII 09:15, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
The sincerest form of flattery
For this page, from Wenzhou's office English-language website. (Unless of course we plagiarized them...) — LlywelynII 09:15, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Formatting
To the overzealous and underinformed editor currently reverting my helpful edits, only some of which he is remembering to fix during his blanket undos: Kindly cf. MOS:ZH. The {{zh}} template is not recommended, let alone mandatory, for any Chinese page and its continuing treatment of pinyin as a separate language is a travesty. Your preference of it is noted, but kindly cease the WP:POINTY revisions until such time as a consensus has been established. (Yes, {{zh}} is common; it's still non-mandatory and currently broken.) — LlywelynII 17:08, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
- Re: kicking the ball: It's a talk page for a template. It doesn't get enough traffic to build support for changes; I could alter its code myself, but it's that particular editor's personal baby and not a mandatory default so no need to fight over it. If you agree with my formatting, keep it. If you really care, go to the talk page there and voice your support.
- That's 3R, so I myself'll stop; but it's still a lousy and non-mandatory template you have no need to force down anyone's throat, least of all when you agree it's broken. — LlywelynII 17:14, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
