Most Wiki articles about world leaders include a reported salary but Xi's does not. Can an editor add this? His annual salary is reportedly ¥136,620 or around US$19,200 https://politicalsalaries.com/is-it-true-xi-jinping-only-earns-us19000/ While this is not a verified salary, it is the best estimate we have (and many other world leaders' salaries are also estimates not exact) ] (]) 01:39, 21 November 2024 (UTC) |

:I do agree that showing three meme images is probably a bit much, but since this subject has gotten so much attention from sources I do see a point in illustrating what the meme is about. Let's see if other editors want to chime in here. – ''']''' ] 10:54, 24 July 2020 (UTC) |

:: This subject has gotten attention from sources, but how relevant is this to the article (and to 'Leadership' section)? I would refer to ] and ] on the neutrality of Misplaced Pages articles, especially since this is the central page of a political figure that is often targeted by detractors. ] states that 'Do not give disproportionate space to particular viewpoints' so does this article really need a whole title, summary and 3 images reserved in the 'Leadership' section for "Winnie the pooh"? Political lampooning is rare for any kind of article on Misplaced Pages, and even then would be mentioned briefly without any images. It is also highly unusual for it to be placed in the 'Leadership' section of the article, I would suggest it be mentioned without images under the 'public image' subsection of the 'personal life' section.] (]) 00:57, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
:::If Xi were to have a fear of Winnie the Pooh imagery that he did not act upon in public life, that would indeed belong in a 'personal life' section and would, I'd argue, be irrelevant regardless. The notable (and neutrally ascertainable) point here is the extent to which Xi and the CCP have gone to censor the memes, which is a remarkable and unique feature of the current leadership, and therefore fits into the 'leadership' section rather well. ] (]) 06:28, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
:::: Internet censorship is an important and notable topic of this article. However, the inclusion of three images presenting the person in a disparaging light is highly unusual in a Misplaced Pages biography of a living person. Isn't Winnie the pooh just one of the thousand different types of images being censored in China? Do the images represent the most important censorship that Xi Jinping has imposed? Why do we need a side by side comparison of Winnie the pooh and Xi Jinping? I would argue that these images were not put on this article to illustrate this controversy but intended to present the subject of the article in a disparaging light. They belong in another article related to the ] (and even that doesn't feature any pictures), not in the biography of the subject that it is referencing ] (]) 08:46, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
:I agree that the number of images is a bit high for a meme. I wouldn't remove all three images, maybe keep one or two (definitely would get rid of the car), since they are highly (self-)explanatory of why Winnie The Pooh of all things has come to represent the Chinese President in meme culture. I would not consider it libelous content, as long as it is not featured too prominently in the article. ] (]) 14:59, 28 July 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
::After doing some source checking, I would actually keep all three images (including the car one), seeing that it definitely is one of the more (if not most) censored images on the web. The "Winnie the Pooh" section is descriptive and neutral, so it doesn't seem to violate ]. See ]. ] (]) 16:01, 28 July 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
::: I would reconsider the neutrality and relevancy of having these images in the article. Based on ], the proportionality of the view should be taken into account and you yourself have mentioned that 'the number of images is a bit high'. I would argue against keeping images based on how censored they are since there are probably thousands of these images and not one of these images is particularly featured anywhere. Please also note the sentence on ]: 'Images of living persons should not be used out of context to present a person in a false or disparaging light.' ] (]) 00:57, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |

:The information is relevant as it pertains to one of the most common parodies of one of the world's most powerful men, who is the subject of the article. It seems most unlikely that this would be found to be libelous content in a court in the free world. ] (]) 15:15, 28 July 2020 (UTC) |

|
:: The content of this article "Xi Jinping" is about a prominent and controversial political figure with many detractors, hence the existence of these memes in the first place. Upon reviewing the edit history of this article, I would like to highlight that the original author of the Winnie the pooh content User:Ohconfucious could be motivated by political reasons (Hong Kong independence party logo on User page).] (]) 00:57, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |

:While the meme and its censorship are somewhat relevant to the article, there are issues with the use of those images in the article: they seem to be a personal creation, they are more of meme quality than encyclopedic content, the choice of the pictures seem to come from therefore ]. Perhaps a solid illustration of the censorship of the meme itself, for example screenshot of the banned image on Wechat, would be preferable. ] (]) 16:08, 28 July 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
::I'm not too sure what you mean with the POV argument; clearly a meme making fun of a person is likely to be created by someone who doesn't like that person and isn't 'neutral' in their POV. 'Personal creation' is what Wikimedia Commons is built on. Regardless, I think the WeChat screenshot could be a good addition, as long as we do not remove the current illustrations. ] (]) 16:23, 28 July 2020 (UTC) |

|
|
::::The sources for these images are fine, the main contention is not related to how they were sourced. It is the biased nature of these images and lack of relevance to the topic of the article, which Sgnpkd mentions: 'meme quality rather than encyclopedic content.' Featuring internet meme pictures on a blog is fine because it is someone else's opinion but Misplaced Pages is a platform for impartial information for the wider public. Since when did internet meme culture require documentation in someone else's political biography to such a degree?--] (]) 09:12, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |

|
::The images' file pages state they have come from news sites (e.g. ]), so they are definitely not a personal creation. Multiple (reputable) news orgs have covered this story, using all three images (and others not included in the article), so I don't see how that would violate ]. The images selected for this article, are (at least to my knowledge) the most well-known ones. ] (]) 16:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC) |

:It does feel a bit iffy, to be honest. Misplaced Pages isn't a tabloid. The images, at the very least, are excessive. We don't need 3 images of Winnie to get the point. We don't even need one image, honestly. Perhaps it deserves a mention, but the current state of the section seems excessive. ] (]) 13:43, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |

*The images are not in themselves derogatory, but humorous, except to those who have no sense of humour{{wink}}. In my view, WTP is an eminently likeable character, unlike XJP, so I'd say the comparison is flattering. The likenesses of the caricatures needs to be seen to be properly understood, and this is provided for in the fair use rationale of use of copyrighted images in critical commentary. The CPC regime is so utterly sensitive to the memes (and indeed any comparison even oblique references to WTP as code for XJP) that it wants to expunge all occurrences from the internet, and numerous press articles have been published commenting on the memes. But while the ] can screen this inside China, the regime has to use other means elsewhere. It's no surprise that we see this attempt to censor the images; note that ]. I contend that the Obama and Abe images are key to understanding why the memes went viral; the one with the car is meant only to show the most censored post of the year – so I'm less upset that it's gone compared to the Shinzo Abe meme. --<small><span style="background-color:#ffffff;border: 1px solid;">]</span></small>] 22:11, 2 August 2020 (UTC) |
