Talk:Steve Chen

message: I have called for a vote on which country and flag should be used for Steve Chen. There have been numerous edits and counter edits for Steve Chen's Flag and country of origin. Does anyone agree with the current state of the article? Ishmael Rufus 17:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Does Chen qualify as a Chinese Americans?  Chiang has never stated that he was Chinese American (as far as I know), so labeling him Chinese might touch upon the whole "pan-green" and "pan-blue" political issue again.  I believe the best policy is to categorize people from Taiwan that emigrated over to America as Taiwanese-American, unless the person otherwise states so.Removing catergory.  ^_^ Jumping cheese Contact 03:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, unless the person explicitly rejects being identified with "Taiwanese-Amerian".  Keep in mind that contemporary politics is not over whether Taiwanese islanders are "Taiwanese" but whether they are also Chinese in ethnicity and citizenship.  So there's really no controversy over being labeled Taiwanese.  A-giau 21:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Label 

message: Chen may have been born in Taiwan, but he did all of his post-elementary schooling in America, and his claim to fame rests on accomplishments in America. It seems disingenuous therefore to label him as "Taiwanese". To call him "Taiwanese-American" also seems unduly complicated - whereas "Asian-American" is self-evident.86.45.32.136 (talk) 08:09, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  More news coverage  

message: I'm removing the claim that Chen lives in Kent, the references to his daughter, and the name of his son, as I'm fairly sure these were invented by vandals. As they've been part of the article for a year or so, I thought it best to leave a paper trail:
* Name of the son and move to Kent was introduced in this quickly-reverted edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Chen&diff=581775020&oldid=581668323 (The same IP had also added the phrase "he is a lad" to the article...)
* The next try was more believable as it edited the infobox and text (and invented a daughter) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Chen&diff=583789562&oldid=583462276 -- this edit stuck.
* The daughter's name was introduced by another IP address a few months later, without any source: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Chen&diff=597381008&oldid=prev
* The suggestion that Chen lived in Kent while working on MixBit in California is completely ludicrous.

thread_title:  Tunbridge Wells and daughter 

message: Recently, a user has wanted to include the following: "located in the high tech democratic nuclear weapons armed industrialized developed country of Taiwan" in the early life section of the biography. I have reverted his edit and asked him to start a Talk page discussion but haven't seen one yet. I disagree with the addition of this content as I feel that such information is a stream of facts and opinions regarding the country of Taiwan, however well sourced and well-meaning this information maybe, and not contributing any information or focus on the individual that is the subject of the article. Also, the same individual has included a flag of Taiwan next to the place of birth in the infobox which directly violates WP:infoboxflag as specified in Wikipedia regulations. Thoughts?
