message: The caption to the image in the lede simply says "An 1858 illustration from the French newspaper Le Monde illustré, of the lingchi execution ... of Auguste Chapdelaine" whereas the History section states "Harper's Weekly claimed the martyr Auguste Chapdelaine was also killed by lingchi but in China; in reality he was beaten to death." --142.163.194.149 (talk) 15:24, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

message: There is an example, which is ofcourse not unique of wikipedia, of a questionable or tenuous hyperlink - ie 'western sensationalsied myths' (a rather long phrase to try to hyperlink to and which suggests a very specific article) linking to the 'Orientalism' article. It seems to me like someone tried to horseshoe in a kind of 'agenda' or try to tell people 'this is an example' or this 'is' 'orientialism' (it doesn't link to a subsection), which is not what hyperlinks are there to do. It is up to your own analysis how to properly understand it, but this is not to be communicated with a misused hyperlink on a wikipedia article trying to brashly 'tell' people something is something (besides the numinous and unclear implication concerning the practice as a whole- two sections contradict each other)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A310:E23F:400:EC8C:699E:6905:F06B (talk) 09:42, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The linked source text is "sensationalised Western myth" (important if you expect people to find, and comment on, it in context), which is piped to the Orientalism article, which I don't find misleading, in that the latter term refers to Westerners' romantic, and often deprecatory, view of Asian cultures.

thread_title:  Questionable hyperlink 

message: the sections "history" and "people put to death by lingchi" include several references to chinese-language published sources, but there is a separate section "published accounts" that appears to list exclusively western-language accounts published by foreigners. is there some reason that the histories, annals, etc. cited previously are not "published accounts"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.163.179.80 (talk) 01:58, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  basis for categorization of sources into "published accounts"?
