With regards to the purported censorship of an image of Wu hugging Lin Yuwei after the race with their race numbers ‘six’ and ‘four’ because of its so called allusion to the tianmen square protests, I found three videos from local media outlet accounts on douyin (China's tiktok) that clearly show Wu and Lin beside each other, presenting the numbers 6 and 4 beside each other. western sources claim picture was removed and censored; however, local Chinese media outlets have shared the video/image. the videos have been available for a few days.

I would recommend removing the info to comply with WP:BLP. would like to know how wikipedia deals with a situation where local media outlets in China show the image, but western media claims it was censored. LilAhok (talk) 22:10, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I actually would like to know. Wikipedia can't knowingly add in information that's proven to be dubious speculation at the least and willfully false at the worst. Given that those sources have not mentioned or possibly just omitted the fact that the photo is still showing on Chinese state media itself. How can one still call it censored when Chinese state media [1] is showing the picture in its entirety? Doesn't seem censored on Guangming Daily, and saying it's censored on Chinese media, would just be a willful falsehood. As I can see that the Guangming Daily social media channel, shows the picture still.[2] MarKraus (talk) 23:57, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see someone had added it in to the article nonetheless. I am not going to challenge that edit because there does appear to be a grain of truth to that "reportedly censorship" claim. However it's questionable at best to say it's "reportedly censored" when I see as of 8 October 2023, a few places where the photo isn't scrubbed. Including the actual original poster (Source Knews) on Tencent QQ - https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MzIwMTE1MzkyOA==&mid=2651304177&idx=3&sn=7752e8ac3bde2b2199ddd562d4ad8569&chksm=8d015c16ba76d500238e475c5d4eb1019f3bd3b8c2c05d99248272d2c6390f28dbf809642de3&scene=0&xtrack=1#rd Also the article is supposed to be primarily for the athlete, and might be WP:COATRACK to put something (gray and uncertain) they have nothing to with, on the athlete page as it's not appropriate, as it's an athlete's professional bio page and this is not a tabloid for gossip that's not confirmed as full facts.

The image's removal from Baidu, Weibo, CCTV, is a good sign that it has been censored in some capacity. [3] OneWordWonder (talk) 07:55, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i agree with your take. also, i don't think this page needs a lengthy description of her disqualifaction from the 100m during the asian games. it is unnecessary and off-tangent to include names of atheltes who won medals as a result of her disqualification. i think we will need more opinions from other users before making an edit.

Several of the sources report that this image has been censored within China. Of course those outside China can still access that image from Guangming Daily. OneWordWonder (talk) 02:51, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
