: The Guardian, the other source talked about "false rumors", which I used "factual inaccuracies" to repeat the word rumor which was already mentioned.

Encyclopedia Britannica defines censorship as "Censorship, the changing or the suppression or prohibition of speech or writing that is deemed subversive of the common good.

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Your edits also violated the policy on neutral point of view and introduced bias. Hzh (talk) 12:47, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. As for the information you edited on Li Wenliang, the source I added()did support the information I put in. The source said that Li Wenliang identified the coronavirus in his Wechat as "SARS", and leading to a warning by local police, as "he did not know whether is was actually SARS. He had posted it too fast", and "that was his mistake". Mopswade (talk) 13:05, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Forgot to mention, but I was under the presumption that The Economist is a reliable source. Please let me know if this is not the case. Mopswade (talk) 13:10, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

The Economist did not say what you claimed it says. It did not say it was due to "factual inaccuracies", or that it was "controversial", this is something you made up. You edit on US also did not say "censor", again you invented that. Your edits suggest that you are deliberately introducing falsehood and bias into the article. Hzh (talk) 13:33, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
