Hello! I was typing out this response when you re-committed your edits. Thank you very much for adding a Geography section to the page, but also please do not delete/mangle large portions of the article as well. Top5a (talk) 12:21, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Randomly disrupting someone's ongoing edits is not a polite way to behave, I thought. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 12:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edits were committed in a block, 24 hours ago. Hardly ongoing. Also, please remember WP:AGF. Again, thank you for your contributions, just please mind WP:UCR. Cheers. Top5a (talk) 12:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, I have learnt your definition of deleting my additions and sources is a good behavior. Have a great day living and editing, and I hope every day of your Wikipedia is as sunny as a spring day outside your window. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 12:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024[edit]

Hello TinaLees-Jones. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:TinaLees-Jones. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=TinaLees-Jones|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Amigao (talk) 10:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You make very many allegations, but I can start by stating that I have no interest in any source of funding, whether it comes from the US government or Russia or Israel or China. I just like Tibet, and having familiarized myself with these rules of writing (and including experience from other editors), I think I can try to write some interesting news. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 13:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Amigao. I noticed that you recently removed content from Religion in Tibet without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Amigao (talk) 10:52, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you, sir, feel that my writing has greatly embarrassed you or gone against your position. Or if you feel that my write-up is nowhere near as good as some of the previous edits, I can stay away from your perspective and sphere of influence (I do feel that most of the content dealing with Tibet and China is very outdated and biased, and I do believe that you see a qualitative difference in the entries before and after the write-up). TinaLees-Jones (talk) 13:42, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Tibetan religion, first of all the history of Tibetan religion has to be originated from the Bön, under the impression of the historical formation of Nepal and China's inland, and the formation of the more distinctive Tibetan Buddhism. It is on this basis that the construction is clearer. This theory can be obtained both from Chinese and Indian books, but from American and British writings, more emphasis is placed on the religious influence carried out since the British colonization of Tibet after 1900, and the scope of this influence is only confronted with the upper echelons of the Tibetan regime.

Those are topics to be raised in Talk:Religion in Tibet, not here. - Amigao (talk) 17:10, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a logical problem that exists in the structural framework of this entry, so that it appears that Tibet "suddenly" has a self-special Buddhist culture and tradition. And the pattern seems to be exactly the same at both the civil and bureaucratic levels (if you read a bit of history, it will be clearer that this is a false proposition). TinaLees-Jones (talk) 13:52, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As for the four different sects of Tibetan Buddhism (we don't usually call them TRADITIONS, but rather sects). Understanding the differences and contradictions between the different sects is the only way to better explain why the Dalai Lama would be one of them (and his departure would only take some of the followers with him - not the vast majority), but his influence is still there. As for these sources, I am not sure why you deleted them. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 13:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also on the question of whether Hinduism exists in Tibet, the answer is very few, especially fewer among the civilian population. If you see the geographic differences, the pattern of Indian migration into Tibet, from the common people (not the military), is just through Nepal. And Nepal is a typical Theravada sect of Buddhism, and there are still differences with Tibetan Buddhism. So there are natural attributes to this Hinduism into Tibet, this religious compartmentalization, and I don't know why you insist on staying - If you have a specific interest to claim, you can also state it directly or metaphorically. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 13:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at 2023 France–China Summit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Amigao (talk) 11:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One of the issues you mentioned is an interesting one in Europe, namely why there is a relatively large difference between France and the EU in the topic of China. This is especially true in a China-France thread, should we as editors deliberately emphasize von der Leyen (rather than the opinions of China's Xi Jinping or France's Macron). Of course I think that if the main venue of a talk is in France, then more local government and media literature in France should be read; if it is in China, then Chinese analysis should not be excluded from Wikipedia. A cooperative and powerful China and France will inevitably move the US or UK's cake. If I were the US or UK government, I would also use media reports to deliberately discredit the cooperation (and if I could prevent it, so much the better).

But the reality is that the smear didn't live up to the "expectation", Xi Jinping still went to France, Macron still entertained him, and the agreement was signed. The fact that Wikipedia has to go on and on about irrelevant details of Von der Leyen's remarks is, I think, not only an insult to China and France, but also an insult to Wikipedia. Of course this is wishful thinking on my part; after all, the Wikipedia servers are in the US. Our discussion itself is a travesty. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 14:06, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I still respect Von der Leyen, and I'm probably one of the few in China who think Von der Leyen looked at European interests more than American or Chinese interests. She criticized China's dumping on the EU in front of Xi Jinping, which I thought was quite courageous and bold. That's why I found her photo on the EU website, but if I were to put her words on the corresponding page, I'd probably be told that I'm "describing too many details that no one cares about".
