WP:AE is still in progress and several people have spoken in your defense The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 16:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

thx, had meant to respond and explain. I wasn't trying to get out of sanctions (I didn't know it worked like that), just found the process unappealing. --Asdfg12345 17:05, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Retiring for a period to wait out and avoid sanctions is a very reasonable approach. I think it came out wrong I did not mean imply any sinister motivation. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 17:13, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement topic ban: Falun Gong

In application and enforcement of WP:AFLG#Motions, per this AE thread, you are indefinitely topic-banned (as per WP:TBAN) from Falun Gong. I will consider lifting this sanction on appeal after at least a year of unproblematic editing.  Sandstein  23:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Main page appearance: Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident

This is a note to let the main editors of Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on April 3, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/April 3, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. 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:

The Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident took place in Tiananmen Square in central Beijing on 23 January 2001. The incident is disputed: the official Chinese press agency, Xinhua News Agency, stated that five members of Falun Gong, 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 China Central Television. 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. (more...)
