Talk:Linguistic imperialism

message: "Can something more concrete be built out of this rather generic whine?"  The answer is clearly No. I'm sticking an NPOV tag on it. Actually, this article should be deleted, because it's the very crap that fuels the argument contra Wiki's open collaboration.  Talk pages, fine, but not the articles!  This is nothing more than some undergrad who's trying to score easy points with the politically correct academic hack he happens to be infatuated with.  If we permit this garbage, then why not an article called, "The Evils of Popery" or French "Culinary Imperialism"?  Wikipedia is NOT for polemic!  To the author of this article:  If you really need show your erudition on the subject, then place it in the article on Phillipson, the clown who cooked up the notion.  And for God's sake, READ the article on NPOV and weasel words!   — J M Rice 20:02, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the Chinese linguistic imperialism be mentioned somewhere? In fact, that's why the Mandarin language has become the most spoken in the world. And wouldn’t it be great to mention the Russian linguistic imperialism in the Sovjet Union? Aaker 06:34, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I will write it. It seems some Mandarin speakers come here to delete the photos. How shameful. Danielsms (talk) 20:33, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: To the above users, you have to provide reputable sources that actually states these images have a connection to the topic of "Linguistic Imperialism". Further, these photos lacks any description for them to be used on an encyclopedia article.   Also, we do not cite Wikipedia articles as a source.--TheLeopard (talk) 08:19, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

However, this is English Wikipedia, so please cite reputable references for any material you contribute.--TheLeopard (talk) 05:12, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Danielsms is just yet another editor who's unwilling to learn how Wikipedia works and insists on shouting "conspiracy" instead of realizing that his edits are outside of policy. Ignore him. No one is denying that Mandarin is often cited as an example of linguistic imperialism; nevertheless, it needs to be presented here in an encyclopedic fashion, using sources and adhering to all Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view and verifiability. rʨanaɢ (talk) 06:30, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Mandarin speakers, you can't stop people from telling the truth to the World. Danielsms (talk) 01:21, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Because you need sources to state that they are related to this topic "linguistic imperalism".  You should also provide a source for the English text, otherwise, translating by user themselves, is original research.--TheLeopard (talk) 05:17, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:   "This article gave many examples from various languages, yet single out and adding images for only one". You just want to hide the truth. Sorry but you won't win. 190.188.80.49 (talk) 22:11, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

message: So what language does Dr Phillipson write his critique of English Language Imperialism? Scots Gaelic? If not why not?--Streona (talk) 22:34, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: His book Linguistic Imperialism is in English. I don't know whether he is a speaker of Scots Gaelic (I would guess not -- I think he's Danish), but he described that language as a "threatened language" in the book. (see ) Also see  See also .
