08:5208:52, 29 November 2021 diff hist −105 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre not even remotely. it's a good faith edit to improve the already blatantly non NPOV writing of this article. we can run out the 3RR if you like, but I'm insistent

06:3506:35, 29 November 2021 diff hist −105 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre the phrase I removed comes across as overly editorializing; that is, trying to argue explicitly against the chinese position. the information contained in it has already been conveyed in the surrounding text anyway so it's redundant to restate. nevertheless, I strengthened the callback in the first sentence of the paragraph to help tie the narrative together Tag: Reverted

12:5612:56, 26 November 2021 diff hist −21 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre the repeated use of the word "itself" is not appropriate here. it's a clear editorial stance that subtly trivializes the distinction of where the killings happened. it's also just objectively misleading since the major dispute is whether the killings occurred in another demonstration a mile away, not literally just outside of the square.
12:3012:30, 26 November 2021 diff hist +4 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre what does "tried to argue" mean? they argue it, because it's their position. also "seized on" is blatantly loaded language that implies deception.

10:5910:59, 9 November 2021 diff hist +429 Talk:Killing of Elijah McClain →Requested move 6 November 2021

05:2105:21, 5 November 2021 diff hist −16 Killing of Elijah McClain it's unreasonable to attach "always unsupported by evidence" to the family's inferences. they're not investigators; it's not their job to provide evidence, if any even exists. this is an accusation that's entirely reasonable but almost impossible to prove. so let's say instead that it wasn't proven

01:4001:40, 24 October 2021 diff hist −68 German–Soviet Axis talks →German–Soviet agreements in 1939 and past hostilities: Communists are opposed to capitalist liberal democracy, but still aver that democracy is an ideal form of government worth striving for.

18:1118:11, 20 October 2021 diff hist −38 Xi Jinping →Censorship: This is by far the most egregious of the misrepresentations here.

21:0821:08, 16 October 2021 diff hist 0 Mikhail Gorbachev his liberalization program is alleged by critics to have rapidly precipitated the the collapse of an otherwise more-or-less stable state. saying that he "failed to stop" a collapse is not an accurate characterization of the criticism. this is backed up by the rest of the article so I don't know why the lead is any different.
20:5820:58, 16 October 2021 diff hist +9 Henry Kissinger it's inappropriate to use the word "saved" outside of a quote. wikipedia shouldn't take sides, especially when it's the wrong side.

03:0103:01, 4 October 2021 diff hist −181 Cloud gaming the "wasteful" claim is idiotic and I'm removing it. bandwidth isn't even close to being a critically limited resource in the markets where cloud gaming is relevant. meanwhile, the alternative of everyone needing to buy their own dedicated hardware is absolutely wasteful.

12:5112:51, 2 October 2021 diff hist +189 Warsaw Uprising The body of the article has some good balance about the political intrigue going on with the home army, and German defensive operations making it pretty implausible that the Red Army would try to enter the city. So it seems inappropriate pack the lead section with the one-sided hero narrative. How about some balance here? Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit Advanced mobile edit
