Put far right as historical as it murdered many left-wing activists[edit]

Through its one-party rule it murdered lots of people, mainly left-wing activists Usydydjwhxyxhx (talk) 18:13, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Historical" infobox listings aren't really that valuable. Plus, I think the CCP might have the KMT beat in some theaters as far as "murdering left-wing activists" goes. Also, please provide sources when discussing big changes to an article, like I've asked you several times. Remsense诉 18:15, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, another bit of advice I have is to not worry about infoboxes starting out as an editor: infoboxes are just meant to summarize the key facts already present in the body of the article. Look for parts in the body to improve first, then you can worry about how the infobox and lead summarize it. Remsense诉 18:18, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is lots of examples of kmt officials, collaborating with imperial Japan you could at least put that in info box Usydydjwhxyxhx (talk) 18:21, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the guideline pages I've been linking you, and compare with other well-developed infoboxes. Once again, I recommend focusing on things other than the infobox. Also, I'm not going to reply to any more claims you are making if you don't provide specific reliable sources we can work with, as the burden is on the person wanting to make changes to provide sources.

Can I use sources from Wikipedia? Usydydjwhxyxhx (talk) 18:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may not use Wikipedia itself as a source, that would be circular, but of course you can use sources cited in articles. But again, I doubt there's going to be any consensus to change the infobox the way you want it, given that the article is about the present party, and there are other articles that focus on other historical periods and situations involving the KMT. And again, it's mentioned in the body of the article: don't worry about the infobox when just starting out. Other editors might engage (though I doubt it) but I am not really interested in changing the infobox, I think it reflects the body of the article adequately as it is. So I recommend finding other ways to improve the encyclopedia first. Remsense诉 18:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok how would you position the kmt Usydydjwhxyxhx (talk) 18:30, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not an interesting question for me personally. Remsense诉 18:31, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
