Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Qu Dongyu has been reverted.
Your edit here to Qu Dongyu was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (https://baike.baidu.com/item/屈冬玉) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:50, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Warning

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. --MONGO (talk) 15:41, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Using various IPs to alter the wording on articles such as subarctic to sub-arctic must cease. If you have a dispute about the grammatical correctness, then file a complaint at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard but you will need to show the dispute has been discussed already extensively on at least one article talkpage beforehand and no resolution was possible.--MONGO (talk) 15:41, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Please explain why my edits were disruptive while yours weren't. My edits were based on editorial guidelines published by a leading Arctic research organisation, a simple Google search shows that a lot of leading Arctic or Antarctic research organisations use the same wording. Your persistency in maintaining a controversial, and according to many sources, grammatically incorrect wording while completely ignoring WP:RS is a typical bureaucratic act which has been strictly prohibited in Wikipedia. 144.130.162.86 (talk) 09:57, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Sheila Walsh (author/singer). —chaetodipus (talk) 05:14, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Re: Changing Republic of China (Taiwan) to Taiwan

Talk:Taiwan: "Important notice: Prior consensus has decided that Taiwan is to be referred to as a country." If article "中華民國" in enwiki was called "Republic of China", I would use "Republic of China" in infobox. If article "中華民國" in enwiki was called "Republic of China (Taiwan)", I would use "Republic of China (Taiwan)" in infobox. If article "中華民國" in enwiki was called "Taiwan", I would use "Taiwan" in infobox. --寒吉 (talk) 14:42, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

I think you have misinterpreted the consensus. The consensus was changing the article Republic of China to Taiwan and the article People's Republic of China to China, there was no consensus for using Taiwan as the country name for all Wikipedia articles. Otherwise, we would have changed government of the Republic of China to government of Taiwan too. In my opinion, we need to use the proper name of the country in formal writing (i.e. country name in the infobox) and Taiwan in informal writing or non-political articles. I won't revert your edits as I don't really mind other people using Taiwan as the country name in sports articles (if we apply strict international rules, Taiwan should be referred to as "Chinese Taipei" in sports articles). 144.130.162.86 (talk) 09:40, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

According to a statement that this IP address has made in the past, many students use this device for editing Wikipedia. Current Wikipedia policies strongly advise that individual accounts are made on shared devices so others who may use the account are not bothered by irrelevant notifications/warnings/moderator decisions.
