Hello everyone,
As french students in digital communication, we studied communication censorship with emojis. And mainly controversial issue of emojis.
We published on the Censorship's page in the Image's section. Can you give us ours opinions ?
Thanks

== Definition? ==
The current definition of censorship seems to be contradicted by the source.

"Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or "inconvenient" as determined by government authorities or by community consensus"

When you follow the reference (Merriam-Webster) it doesn't say anything about community consensus, only governments
Unfortunately I don't know how to change it for the better, maybe someone else has a good idea?

:Yes you are completely correct. There is no such thing as censorship by community consensus. The article mentions community once in relation to books. Its not appropriate to add community consensus to the lead because its not supported in the article below. - ] (]) 23:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

I want to discuss if the website {{cite web |title=Censorship {{!}} Fandom |url=https://censorship.fandom.com/Index}} can be used as external source to view which content is censored and how. That website is a primary source of information, and it's user-driven. It has to be that way, since no official movie producer discloses (or has to) what is censored and why, not even less compare with other countries.

If you go to media and look up 'Censorship in the Republic of China', you will find some interesting photographs.


{{edit semi-protected|Censorship|answered=yes}}
I've uploaded two images of censored texts found in a 1978 edition of Encyclopedia Americana. The texts were censored by the Republic of China (now commonly known as "Taiwan"). In one image, (what I believe are) Communist slogans in a photograph have been censored. In the other photograph, words in the article itself as well as in a map of Mongolia have been censored. Stamped on the bottom left of both images are the words "Contents deleted as instructed by the Ministry of Interior, ROC."
Would like to add for further reading:

I find these interesting because there is hardly any English content about censorship in Taiwan, which used to be a dictatorship, and also because there aren't a lot of images of such blatant censorship uploaded so far. Additionally, for one article the censorship is motivated by anti-Communist sentiment. Because people might tend to (problematically) think of Communist governments as the only ones doing the censoring, that they are here the ones being censored seems mildly ironic and quite informative.

Feel free to use the images. There are much more from the same Encyclopedia Americana that I can upload. I will not be inserting the images right now (maybe later) because I want to give the whole Wiki article a good read first before I change anything.

:] has started edit warring. I have given reasons why his edit is not relevant but he has reverted by revert. The reasons are simple. A photo of a page of an encyclopaedia is not a relevant photo for a page no matter what the accompanying text. I asked for the text to more appropriately put into prose and the encyclopaedia that was in the photo to be used as a source but to no avail. ] is relevant here which I pointed out. ] needs to justify why his edit improves the article. I await a cogent response. ] (]) 17:03, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Inclusion of Censorship | Fandom as external reference

I want to discuss if the website "Censorship | Fandom". can be used as external source to view which content is censored and how. That website is a primary source of information, and it's user-driven. It has to be that way, since no official movie producer discloses (or has to) what is censored and why, not even less compare with other countries.

No. We don't use self published sites and/or open wikis as sources, see WP:RS. We also don't use reddit, and we don't use conduct original research to make points not present in cited sources. MrOllie (talk) 11:45, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
