Assistance requested

Hi Amigao,

A certain user has systematically gone through all Chinese government agency pages and changes the previous national emblem to the "official" while the previous one was perfectly fine and frankly looked better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emblem_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constituent_departments_of_the_State_Council

Would appreciate if you could assist in reverting to previous one: File:National Emblem of the People's Republic of China (2).svg

The name of this user is Coddlebean (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Coddlebean&action=edit&redlink=1) is suspected to be a state-backed actor. Please investigate and request for ban if necessary. Very concerning.

They have also removed content from pages on Chinese history which is very concerning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Coddlebean (see talk page) User:Foxhunt38 (talk)

  • Hello @User:Foxhunt38, I'm Coddlebean. First of all, I am not so called " state-backed actor" as you referred me. Second, I'd like to let you know the national emblems of most countries used on Wikipedia are the official versions used by their governments, so I think China's should also be consistent with them. Anyway, I started an ANI discussion about it, check it out if you're interested to: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Inappropriate reverts of many pages by Amigao Coddlebean (talk)

March 2024 Undisclosed Financial Stake?

Hello Amigao. The nature of your edits and articles 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:Dougieb. The template

can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: InsertName"},"4":{"wt":"client=InsertName"}},"i":0}}]}' id="mwAi0">

. 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. Dougieb (talk) 20:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC) Dougieb (talk) 20:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No COI to disclose. Amigao (talk) 21:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Likely being paid by Sinophobic special interest group.

Seriously, what is your problem with me altering the language of CCP to the officially recognized CPC and Communist Party of China? Why are you, or whoever supposedly pays you, so so obsessed with "Chinese"-ifying everything? It's the political party of the PRC in China, and it has an official name, even though the American state department refuses to call it that. As an American citizen who has Chinese friends and respect for Chinese people, I think it is at the very least, our duty as decent people to respect official language and not intentionally scare and mislead about the true nature of China. Unless you're just some dude who really hates China, I believe you have vested interests in incessantly enforcing the disinformative, racist, and Orwellian "CCP" misnomering. If Wikipedia is truly an independent and unbiased organization, they should remove your glowing "twinkle" status.

CC my talk page
RE my last message:
Sorry if I came off as harsh in my post on your talk page. If truth isn’t on the side of my allegations of your paid sponsorship for edits on this platform, I will rescind them. However, I find it vaguely strange that the English speaking global population is to be misled about something as banal as the name of the political establishment party in China. I could call the US. Congress the American Capitalist Party, or I could revise KFC to be the Fried Chicken of Kentucky(FCK), but it would be different from all the menus. Even if the media called it the FCK, it would be wrong, and it would intentionally mislead Wikipedia users and annoy KFC corporate.
Why is it different with China? The institution calls itself the Communist Party of China, CPC, not CCP. Why do we have to be stupid on purpose? Han75 (talk) 05:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It appears Amigao was 'cited' in the past('called out'-cited, not quoted- " " ) for conducting edits that were large & complex in rapid-fire fashion between edits on multiple pages as though the account is being used by multiple people (perhaps in a 'troll-farm' type setting), or some bot file style process that's undeclared officially. This according to the 24-hour block log on 22:39, December 27, 2020. I would not be surprised if there is a perhaps a CIA or military connection possibly as their account seems to be pushing official U.S. government talking points as I see it.
Even going as far as pushing WP:UNDUE to topics which have little importance in the grand schemes of things and then routinely accusing others of WP:COI for edits they do not agree with to get them removed from Wikipedia (and then removes the disputed talk page content to give the appearance the point was never raised here before.)

Resolving tags for an article you marked as promotional

You had tagged the biography of Sarah Chen (1958; Taiwanese Singer) as written in a promotional tone. The article also had a tag for needing citations. Since then, edits made to the article have improved the neutrality and resolved "citation needed" comments. Please consider removing tags from the article. If it is deemed that some issues remain, please provide advice on what needs to be done. Thanks. Sc2327 (talk) 16:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
