Binding
editPerfect binding? My economist is held together with staples. No glue in sight! 49.196.22.24 13:41, 19 April 2021
- That was then (1971 is 50 years ago), this is now. I have updated the caption but does anybody know when staples arrived? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
Censorship: citation needed
edit"It's a picture, how can it need a citation???" was my reaction too, until thinking about it a bit more. It may well be true that the page was ripped out by the censorship department but equally (given what often happens in public libraries in the West too), it could just have been 'liberated' by a reader. So the citation request is to ask "how do we know who did it" because, if we don't, then we can't state in Wikivoice that the usual suspects did it.
So, somewhat reluctantly given the balance of probabilities, I am reinstating the cn tag but I will add a hidden note to say why.
I would love to believe that the same consideration would apply to a similar case at The People's 'Pedia (or whatever it is called) but of course it would not and does not. But that doesn't mean that we should join them in the gutter. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 00:19, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Since it will be impossible to get a reliably sourced citation that records what the secret police did when and where, I have rewritten the caption so that it now says
Page 28 from the June 1st, 2019 issue, about the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests, has been removed
, which really speaks for itself. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:55, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
