Film censorship in China

Please read the description of the movie "Spring Fever" at http://www.zwbk.org/zh-tw/Lemma_Show/103483.aspx https://movies.tw.campaign.yahoo.net/movieinfo_main.html/id=3627 and http://www.eslite.com/product.aspx?pgid=1004128572013564 . The plot was 2007 Nanjing. You can google translate to English if needed. It has nothing to do with Tiananmen Square (in Beijing). I checked the fact and found that even though the director's previous movie "Summer Palace" contained Tiananmen Square, this particular movie is only about gay romance. Why did you insist that "Spring Fever" contained Tiananmen Square? That's untrue.Tony85poon (talk) 03:11, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

"The citation did mention Tiananmen" but I want to point out that https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/01/movies/01spring.html discussed Summer Palace and Spring Fever BOTH TWO movies. Can you find a citation that discuss Spring Fever alone?Tony85poon (talk) 03:24, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

@Tony85poon: I don't think I changed 'Spring Fever' at all, so I don't know why you had brought it up. I only undid your deletion of 'Lan Yu' which did reference Tiananmen incident. You can watch the film at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBpmkMVqs_o and around 26:55min, the references started to come if not earlier. I admire your passion, but you can't make simple mistakes here. Supermann (talk) 03:54, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

You are correct! The above can be inserted as citation in support of the Lan Yu point. Sorry for not reading the above for 4 months. Tony85poon (talk) 13:11, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Before you go and make an administrator block me for edit-warring the Film censorship in China article, please use the Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment to generate more opinion, thanks. Tony85poon (talk) 13:11, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

No need, because you simply ignore the whole "consensus" previously established by among 10 editors. If you don't like it, pls create your own list outside of Wikipedia. That's the vow I made because I also have to give in to this consensus. Thanks. Supermann (talk) 16:37, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
