Wikipedia ban on editing Tibet
Recently i was banned in editing Wikipedia for a month, on 2008-05-28, for editing articles related to Tibet.
Perm url: http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/W
Text version follows:
I tried to add a link to the External Link section on 2 articles, and modifies another article with references to the link, all related to the issues of Tibet.
The link is this: Li Ao on Tibet and Dalai Lama. It is a collection of youtube vidios of Li Ao's talk show, with summary in English.
The 3 Wikipedia articles i added this links are:
* Human sacrifice↗ International Tibet Independence Movement↗ Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama↗
My exact edits are here:
* index.php?title=Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama&diff=215491103&oldid=215483766↗ index.php?title=Human sacrifice&diff=215494380&oldid=215488595↗ index.php?title=International Tibet Independence Movement&diff=209639923&oldid=209624161↗
Their reason is that i should not add links to my own website, and that my additions are propaganda from Taiwan Government.
They not only ban'd me from editing Wikipedia for a month, but also banned me on my own talk page, and one of the guy deleted the reason i gave for my edits.
My user talk page is here: User talk:P0lyglut↗. My reasoning on my edit, that got deleted by DaGizza, is here: index.php?title=User talk:P0lyglut&diff=prev&oldid=215672906↗. For the record, in case Wikipedia completely erase these pages from database, here's the saved archived of the above pages: Wikipedia_ban_editing_tibet_200805.zip
If you feel what Li Ao said is important enough, please add to the Wikipedia articles. Thanks.
