Talk:Deng Xiaoping/Archive 1

thread_title:  Assessment comment 

message: Deng Xiaoping appears to have been frequently liked to a needle inside a ball of cotton because of his tolerance (hence the cotton), which nevertheless had sharp limits (the needle). This seems like it could be mentioned in the article somewhere. But where exactly? I'm bringing this up because  redirects here and it is currently under discussion at RfD. –  Uanfala (talk) 10:28, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Judging by this young fella's general temperament and personal ideology, there seem to be more than one time in his tenure(s) when he may have picked up this alt name.  One would have to weed through the sources to find the earliest when and who.  If they can be found, then one would know where in the article to reference the nickname.  Namaste, Uanfala!  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  13:35, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needle inside a ball of cotton 

message: Page 337 of Ross Terrill's "China in our time". 
Deng went so far as to warn the world in 1989 that unless he was permitted to rule China his way with an iron fist, 100 million refugees from China would flood the world. Italic text
Terrill gives NO source. The aspect is still valid today. Current US policies aim to hold China down, which could lead to extreme migration waves. 2001:8003:AD40:8400:B57D:8113:3689:D667 (talk) 03:46, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can this be sourced? Would be relevant.  

message: The "Legacy" section feels funny to me due to the fact that it switches tones so quickly from a pro-Deng paragraph instantly to an offensive, incisive paragraph, calling him "little" and expressing great disdain for him.

thread_title:  Per "Legacy" 

message: When I learned about this man in history class, his name was Dung Chow Ping ( in English:  dung-chow-ping).   Here his name is given as "Deng Xiaoping" -- in English, this would be "deng - ekseea - oh-ping".   Why the name change?  I don't see any mention in the article.
:Hey, in  Chinese Pinyin the name is Deng Xiaoping, and as such as a general courtesy in English we leave it as such. I'm  Caker18 ! I edit Wikipedia sparingly. (talk)  00:00, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name change? 

message: I think this article need to be added content, such as Criticism of Deng, many Maoists and other anti-revisionists think Deng is a strong revisionist, a traitor of communism and Marxism. They also think the Reform and Opening is a strong revisionist movement.
I come from China, so I know the reception of Deng clearly. JohnGao (talk) 04:31, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is a neutral source. If you have criticisms of Deng, you can express them from the point of view of the general populace - just do not make it such that it appears that Wikipedia is advertising against Deng.

thread_title:  Revisionism 

message: There is clearly some type of formatting error with this page. The infobox appears to have pushed much of the introduction below it. This needs to be fixed ASAP. I tried tinkering with it, but didn't do much. Thanks HAL333 21:34, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is there a massive blank space at the top of this page? 

message: , please read the lead guidelines in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. There is a reason why the lead must be reserved to four paragraphs. Any attempt to change the lead would result to warnings of vandalism.

replies: text: Agreed. The IP put too many excessive details. I've trimmed it down while keeping important & accurate information.--SCreditC (talk) 04:03, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Chen Yun is listed in the sidebar as the successor to Deng as chair of the Central Military Commission, but he was actually successor as chair of the Central Advisory Commission as stated elsewhere in the article and confirmed on other pages.  Jiang Zemin is listed as successor in the CAC instead of CMC.  I wasn't sure if just these 2 names were swapped, or the headers with the titles (CAC and CMC), so I did not make an edit and will defer to someone else.  It seems like the titles themselves were swapped, because the predecessor in the CMC is listed as "none," while that should be the case for the CAC. 67.10.242.77 (talk) 19:59, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
