Talk:Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Disputed
I removed the following sentence from the first paragraph in the controversy section.
"However, it is reported that some of the participants do not know they are going to join the rallies until they are sent to the venue."
Someone should provide a link to prove this claim before it is put back in the article. --205.250.250.154 21:45, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- You may want to look into the archives of local newspapers for reports related to either of the July 1 protests, when the FTU and other pro-Beijing organisations held activities nearby. There was similar coverage on a campaign rally for the DAB candidates for the 2004 LegCo election. — Instantnood 19:53, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Please provide links, we need proof, I would rather not simply take your word for it. This sounds very POV. --154.20.68.142 08:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's nothing POV here. They're facts that most familiar with Hong Kong politics can tell. You can verify it from the archive of many local newspapers. — Instantnood 12:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- I follow the politics there every day, and I have two friends who are journalists for the South China Morning Post. The allegations you are making are very POV. It is YOUR responsibility to prove their factual accuracy, so if you cannot provide proper news article links here or in the article then the allegation should be removed. --205.250.250.154 05:06, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's a paid service to look into the archives of many local newspapers, including the SCMP, as well as the Apple Daily and Ming Pao, which are among the best-selling Chinese-language daily papers here. That's the reason why I've suggested you to go to any of the archives, if you've an account. — Instantnood 16:22, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- Provide a day and page number for an article that says so. That's what a citation is. It doesn't have to be an internet link and it doesn't have to be free, but someone should be able to go look it up exactly where you tell them to. SchmuckyTheCat 17:41, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- When time allows. For the time being try look into the news after an assembly in support of the anti-subversion legislation on December 20 2002, after the July 1 2003 rally, when the DAB and its allies held a fair at the football pitches at Victoria Park, the election campaign rally on September 5 2004 for the LegCo election, or the "Anti-Politician Assembly" at Chater Garden on January 1 2005. — Instantnood 13:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
