== Main page appearance: Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident ==
== Response to your accusations on my talk page ==
Reproduced here for you:


This is a note to let the main editors of ] know that the article will be appearing as ] on April 3, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at ]. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director {{user|Raul654}} or his delegate {{user|Dabomb87}}, or start a discussion at ]. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at ]. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
: Asdfg, your actions speak louder than your words. Your edits on the Falun Gong page, by supporting Omido's version, shows that you support a totally biased version and have no interest in seeing genuine NPOV. It has undone all the hard work put in by both sides to reach a consensus. Such un-wiki actions is worrying, because for a while there was a remote possibility that you were willing to adhere to WP:Civility. Accusing others who insist that you adhere to Misplaced Pages policy as supporters of the opposition is also distinctly unhelpful. And finally to address your post, show me some reliable non-pro-FG proof of the above, AND be willing to accept the CCP's rebuttal to such an allegation, THEN we can engage in the "frank discussion" you claim to be promoting. After all, if Falun Gong practitioners were 'defenders' of the 'truth', then what have they got to hide by letting the other side air their views? Why take such drastic steps to hide any criticism of FG? Is there something unworthy that must be hidden? If Falun Gong were really that good, why hasn't the entire world converted to Falun Gong?


<blockquote>
: In the future, please adhere to Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines when editing. If you show yourself to be a trustworthy editor who abides by, at the very least, Misplaced Pages rules, "frank discussion" can be engaged in and maybe a satisfactory compromise veresion can be agreed on. But as long as you support one side's version only despite having agreed on compromise versions on the discussion page of the Falun Gong entry backed up by your support for a version by someone who has persistently engaged in edit-warring and violated the 3RR rule over and over again, a final version will never be reached. Thus arises the question: are you, Asdfg, interested in arriving at a compromise version between the two camps that was a result of a constructive debate that adhered to Wiki policies? If so, please be careful of your words and actions in the future. Insulting admins like Fire Star, for example, is not a good start. ] 03:33, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
The ''']''' took place in ] in central Beijing on 23 January 2001. The incident is disputed: the official Chinese press agency, ], stated that five members of ], a banned spiritual movement, set themselves on fire to protest the unfair treatment of Falun Gong by the Chinese government. The Falun Dafa Information Center stated the incident was a hoax staged by the Chinese government to turn public opinion against the group and to justify the torture and imprisonment of its practitioners. The incident received international news coverage, and video footage was broadcast later in the People's Republic of China by ]. A wide variety of opinions and interpretations of what may have happened emerged: the event may have been set up by the government, it may have been an authentic protest, or the self-immolators "new or unschooled" practitioners, among others. The campaign of state propaganda that followed the event eroded public sympathy for Falun Gong, and the government began sanctioning "systematic use of violence" against the group. (])

== Clarification motion ==
I am happy and pleased to see that you are willing to work on this article to make it of high quality and relatively neutral. However, we must first get over what you pass off as facts, such as a 'genocide' of FG practitioners. FG practitioners via your websites have made numerous allegations but almost every point has been met with an official Communist Party of China's rebuttal. If you question once again whether I'm merely some CCP mouthpiece, it would be wise to remember that the CCP actually denies they are even suppressing FG practitioners; I'm not denying that some degree of limitation / restriction of FG practice/practitioners is going on. This is not the same as genocide. However, it is being exaggerated and when more fabrications are used to support what were initially facts then one is inevitably left to question your intentions. Since the 'clampdown' of FG is tremendously controversial, it would be better for an encyclopedia, in keeping with its NPOV policy, to present both sides' views without pre-determining the information for the public.
If you agree that Omido's behavior is worrying then perhaps you'd like to join in the mediation case I've initiated against him. I've deliberately NOT resorted to seeking blocks, bans or ArbCom decisions against him because I want constructive debate from both sides. However, if he persists in being unreasonable and you can show that the majority of FG practitioners are not so, maybe some of the negative perceptions of FG can be dispelled.
Regarding the Fire Star insult point, it was questioning her (?) commitment to NPOV / neutrality. If the user was not deemed responsible then Fire Star wouldn't have been 'approved' as an administrator. Regarding Tomananda, he is only as biased towards the other end as you are biased towards FG. Note that I don't think we have someone who has represented the CCP (the 'official' anti-FG people) view in this discussion yet, so please don't judge me by my introduction of two Xinhua news sources in English that have addressed the issue of FG (although such sites cannot stay on the page with section blankers). In the end, as long as all sides of the FG debate are committed to working towards a GA or better status for this article, we'll have done our role as Wiki editors in improving Wiki as an encyclopedic source. But to maintain this commitment we first need to weed out those who seek to stop our commitment towards this goal! Jsw663 10:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


A case (]) in which you were involved has been modified by {{oldid2|631252824|Motion|motion}} which changed the wording of the ] to clarify that the scope applies to pages, not just articles. For the arbitration committee --]] 22:39, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
: My response to your refusal to consider my challenge to pro-FG sources such as the Kilgour-Matas report (also reproduced on the FG discussion page) -


== ] ==
: Asdfg, you demanded that I read pro-FG sources which I have done numerous times before but never have I done a detailed critique. You then say I cannot qualify my comments without doing so. Now that I've done a detailed critique you say that there's no point replying. Is this the 'constructive debate' pro-FGers are capable of?
: Did you even READ what I wrote above? Point by point? I said the Kilgour-Matas report reads like a FG propaganda leaflet because it does not base its sources on facts. It draws conclusions based on leaps of logic and a few phone calls. Since it is not based on facts it has NOT, I repeat NOT proven any genocide or persecution as having existed, ever. But then the problem of utter bigotry isn't on my part now, is it - the one refusing to read critique of your allegations is brushed off as 'misguided' somehow. Do you not realize the sheer absurdity of your comments? But then if you did maybe you wouldn't be able to place yourself under the spell of Li Hongzhi.
: The CCP seems to be stopping any possibility of a personality cult that will personally benefit Li Hongzhi. This is to stop a person who has constantly sought to overthrow the CCP and install himself in power (which he will claim he'll do so 'reluctantly', if he succeeds). There is nothing 'evil' about this clampdown at all but to protect national security.
: You accuse me of not being neutral although I back up every single point with the appropriate Wikipedian policy or argument point. You claim to be working for wikipedia / encyclopedic content but have no interest in stopping vandals. In fact, you promote their version then claim it was a 'mistake'. You say I have no 'righteous thoughts' although you never base this on anything. Accuse the CCP of something and base it on a fact, then we can analyze it. Accuse the CCP of something, exaggerate it with fabrications then pass it off as a fact, is nothing short of slander. Look at how hypocritical your comments are first. Who's encouraging you not to think for yourself?
: The 'objective evidence' used is suspect in credibility and one-sided. I pointed out inconsistencies, such as the surgeon's wife's testimony, despite it being 'credible' due to immense 'detail', yet not a single detail could be proven as fact or backed up by a truly independent source, or that somehow the CCP left no traces of killings or torture behind yet they spilt lots of 'evidence' via phone calls. What is your response? To repeat the same tired old propaganda again? Is this the sign of an independent thinker? Can you respond to this question?
: Asdfg your sheer refusal to air any views not given by Li Hongzhi or pro-FG source demonstrates two things - narrow-mindedness and total lack of independent thinking. This is further supported by a complete intolerance of non-pro-FG supported criticism, or at least drastically reduced in quantity, and only about points which the pro-FG propaganda machine has already addressed via exaggerations and half-truths. I claim relative neutrality and have shown that I deal with both sides' sources equally. You claim relative neutrality yet are totally unable to form opinions of your own, consider sources equally and make excuses like taking a Wikibreak when you cannot find a Li Hongzhi-approved answer. It's time you reflected on your own logic first before you accuse others of being 'evil'. If not, your accusations hold as much weight as all the "facts" and "evidence" used, which essentially consists of wild speculations and outrageous logic-twisting. "Genocide" and "persecution" cannot be justified on a few suspicious phone calls. The least you could do would be to respond to my detailed critique of the K-M report. Shame on you, Asdfg, for not being able to practice what you preach or demand of others. ] 08:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I wonder how I should put this. Before I go forth I must say I admire your faith and level of understanding in philosophy. I have studied the works of Plato and in fact recently compared it to The Matrix in terms of their parallel philosophies, I enjoyed both works. Whether or not you are actually a 21-year-old living in Canberra I will not go beyond my comfort zone to attempt to confirm, but from my understanding you are not ethnically Chinese. You have been searching for a purpose, an underlying philosophy about life which you seemed to have found in Falun Gong. For this, I say again, I admire your faith. I am here to bring to submission that I have not reached that level of understanding myself.


You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your ] or on ].
As a subscriber to certain taoist and buddhist beliefs myself, please understand me when I say I find it difficult to relate to Falun Gong. I have read parts of Zhuan Falun, watched many Falun videos while I was in China (long before the crackdown), my understanding of it comes from years of discussions with religious experts, practicing buddhists and taoists, and political analysts, as well as my personal experiences. I have talked to many Falun Gong practitioners myself. I will not attempt to debate with you about your beliefs as I think it would be unfair to interfere with them, as I consider it rude for someone else to come and interfere with my own. What I will say here is that from the empirical evidence I have gathered, Falun Gong's founder, Li Hongzhi, and its practices within China before the crackdown were at best, questionable if not outright illegitimate, bordering on being fraudulent. I am not against any of the major principles of Falun Gong, I am but trying to voice a concern that these principles were abused in a way not generally understood in the West. Every time I bring forth these facts I am always considered a lier and a dog of the Communist Party of China. Anything I say against Li is an attempt at slandering his image on behalf of the CPC. I feel that this treatment is unfair and deeply deprecating of my person and beliefs.
