== Warning about possible problems in this article ==

The same type of problem that exists on the page also exists here. The China Coast Guard was mentioned in the lead section of this article despite not being mentioned in the source quoted. From these examples, I infer that this page too may have other problematic areas and I recommend that the article be thoroughly reviewed and checked by multiple experts at the earliest possible date, including the edits I made. I am not an expert in the specifics of this dispute, but the fact that I have seemingly discovered several major problems after a brief glance at the articles is not a good sign. Thanks for any help. ] (]) 12:40, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

:::::"they are owned by the Japanese with only the Japanese visiting the islands because if China did it would be a military confrontation "“I have stated my reasoning and provided facts”;What you describe is the opinion of a BBC newspaper and is not factual, It's like wondering which day the Chinese and Japanese fishing boats will meet around the coast and have a barbecue party on this island- but that is speculation, not fact. You can add the BBC's opinion to the article rather than asserting it.

{{edit semi-protected|Senkaku Islands|answered=yes}}
The words "Japanese-administered" right at the top is redundant and awkwardly placed, considering that the circumstances behind this island and its history is already mentioned within the same lead section.

== Requested move 24 December 2024 ==
It is very hard for people to reach agreement on these topics. Different counties have their own view of these topics. And most of them can only be completely solved by war. Misplaced Pages should have any bias on these topics. So, I would suggest following solution to this problem:


<div class="boilerplate mw-archivedtalk" style="background-color: var(--background-color-success-subtle, #efe); color: var(--color-base, inherit); margin: 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px dotted var(--border-color-subtle, #AAAAAA);"><!-- Template:RM top -->
1. multi-versioning of the same thing: for disputed topic, we should have multiple versions from different perspective. This is beneficial for people to learn different ideas. It can be implemented similar to github.com/git or just copy the HTML.
:''The following is a closed discussion of a ]. <span style="color: var(--color-error, red);">'''Please do not modify it.'''</span> Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a ] '''after''' discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.''


The result of the move request was: '''not moved.''' Consensus to not move the article is present. <small>(])</small> ]<sup>]</sup> 04:12, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
2. No-default pages/random version selection: this is the main technical change to the website. If we have multi-version of the same topic, we can randomly select one version to present to the user. In this way, there will be no default version thus no bias to both sides. For example, we should prepare both Sekaku Islands and Diaoyu Islands versions, and we toss a fair coin when user enters this webpage to decide which name to present. Each page will get a 50% chance to be presented. And we also allow to manually select after the user enters the topic webpage.

*'''Oppose''', looking at the graph more carefully , it's pretty spiky and not currently demonstrative of a long term trend.

: This is a stupid idea and pointless. The whole point of Misplaced Pages is that it presents the mainstream perspective on any given topic, and notes any disputes without giving any position undue weight. Why would having two different versions that are decided between by coin toss be useful? If its presented by coin toss, how is it {{tq|beneficial for people to learn different ideas}} if they only see one perspective on an issue?

:: 1. "The whole point of Misplaced Pages is that it presents the mainstream perspective on any given topic and notes any disputes without giving any position undue weight." It is clearly there do exists some topics that have totally different views, so "mainstream" can be undefined. In this example, the Chinese view is highly under-represented, and I think it need some rework. (The number of people agree with "Diaoyu Island" should be at least 1 billion, so it shouldn't be considered as "not mainstream")

:: 3. "Also, there haven't been serious disputes about the Senkaku Islands on Misplaced Pages for years, the permanent semi-protection seems to do the trick" semi-protection is a way to avoid the problem, not a great way of solving it. It is clear that the number of Chinese users using Misplaced Pages "with a good account" is not large enough, and actually the total number of people care these islands are not large enough, that's why we don't have any edits in recent years. Locking a page will destroy the neutral position of Misplaced Pages. This topic clearly biased to Japanese position; Misplaced Pages shouldn't do it. ] (]) 03:10, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Change the name

The name should be Diaoyu islands. When you use the Japanese name it is not neutral. Cioppino123 (talk) 21:31, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
