There are plenty of wikilinks on his name in the article, but not all instances are linked per

My original point still stands though, it should be " being succeeded in these roles by General Secretary Hu Jintao" in the article. Holidayruin (talk) 05:18, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you might consider that the sentence would mean exactly the same thing had an article been included preceding the job title: "... being succeeded in these roles by [the] general secretary Hu Jintao ...". It was only omitted because it was unnecessary in context. General Ization ^Talk 05:25, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:JOBTITLE

.

Also, I'm saying the omission of "the" means it must be capitalized. That's just the rule. Holidayruin (talk) 05:32, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, and I believe that both what I have written above and

MOS:JOBTITLE explain why. But I'm not going to spend more time debating with you concerning what I consider a largely insignificant edit. General Ization ^Talk 05:38, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

It clearly doesn't but we're also clearly wasting our time. I've been on Wikipedia too long. Holidayruin (talk) 05:39, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In case it helps, please consider the following sentence, in which the job title is being used (and capitalized) correctly in both cases per our MOS: "The conference was originally proposed by US president Jimmy Carter; President Carter suggested that it would promote understanding between the parties." But you have solved the problem neatly by removing the job title altogether. General Ization ^Talk 06:04, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On 19 September 2004, after the 4th Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee, Jiang, at the age of 78, relinquished his post as chairman of the party's Central Military Commission, his last post in the party. Six months later in March 2005, Jiang resigned his last significant post, chairman of the Central Military Commission of the state, which marked the end of Jiang's political career

I don't get it. Did he announce his resignation in September, and only actually resign in March? DFlhb (talk) 16:46, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

party's Central Military Commission != state's Central Military Commission. See: Central Military Commission (China)#Members 58.176.72.209 (talk) 14:09, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see, thanks. DFlhb (talk) 14:20, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
