243:, so the topic of the article should be Yue Chinese, not Cantonese. The primary meaning of "Cantonese" in English is Guangzhou dialect, as you very well know since we agreed with your proposal to move the Cantonese article there. As an encyclopedia, we need to avoid ambiguity. If you can get the community to agree that "Cantonese" no longer primarily means Guangzhouhua, but now means Yueyu, fine, but until that time edit warring will get you nowhere, and I will revert you for disruption. If you continue, I will also ask to have you blocked for disruption. 674: 756: 624: 22: 576: 294:
You do not make the decisions alone; this is a community project. Whether you get angry or disrespect me is utterly irrelevant.

I would agree with moving 'Cantonese' to either 'Canton dialect' or 'Guangzhou dialect'. However, this is something we need to discuss. Also, don't move pages by cutting and pasting. It destroys the article history. I've reverted all of your edits. If and when we agree to your proposal, one of us who

and long-established consensus is that neither "language" nor "dialect" should be used for the primary branches of Chinese. ("Guangzhou dialect" is not a problem, as it clearly is a dialect.) As for "Yue", that is the normal term used in English when one wishes to dab the language from the dialect.

Page-move from "Cantonese (linguistic)" to "Yue Chinese" is imprudent. Not only me who do not agree page-move from "Cantonese (linguistic)" to "Yue Chinese". "Yue Chinese" is really really a very terrible name. I've asked to move it back to "Cantonese (linguistic)" or "Cantonese (language topic)".

Absolutely WRONG. You are behaving like a dictator of Knowledge (XXG). You are threatening people again. You're edit warring and being disruptive. You are pushing your personal biases on Cantonese and trying to forbid different sounds of truth. I've said many many times on the discussion page that

NZ, assume good faith. I am trying to make the topic unambiguous. You don't appear to be familiar with how "Cantonese" used in English (you appear to be translating from Cantonese), nor why your suggested move is inappropriate (these things have been discussed many times). And no, "Yue" is

I invited the two other users who commented on the move. I support two of your proposals. However, "Cantonese language" is not an acceptable title. There are many Chinese who object that the language is Chinese, and that Yue, Wu, Mandarin, etc. are dialects. This has been debated

If you wish to move the Chinese language articles, please bring them up for discussion. Calling the major branches of Chinese either 'languages' or 'dialects' is contentious, and there have been long discussions of this in the past. You might want to also read

I think it's necessary to aware you that I KNOW we do not make decisions alone. And, "Cantonese=Yue=Guangdonghua" is a common sense, not a minority opinion. You are trying to limit the concept of Cantonese intentionally.
