It seems that everytime User:Giantcn edits an article it becomes loaded with biases and other non-NPOV elements. Using terms such as 'set up his cult' is hardly a good objective presentation by any stretch.

NPOV

Ok, the article is an obvious POV mess with lots of OR ("expert bushfighting", "28 Bolsheviks' leftism and extremism", "Mao and his supporters' way which was more flexible and compatible with the reality of China") that needs to be removed. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not seeing NPOV here, Mao's ideals (whether they were realised later or not) were more compatible with the reality of China. Mao's guerilla warfare was very successful, it was "expert bushfighting". His peasant based style of communism naturally was more compatible with the reality of China which was more than 70% peasantry than the 28 Bolsheviks' urban centred proletariat form of communism that appealed mainly to the industrial working class who were far in a minority (and the membership was dwindling even within this minority, down from 10% in 1928 to just 3% of the city workers in 1929).

That being said, this article does need a phrasing clean up, lines like "Zhou had good relation with many senior leaders and was smooth and slick" are not encylopedic at all in nature Not Worth Waiting For 10:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Smooth and Slick.....come on. Subotai 10:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

It's also completely wrong. See Sun Shuyun's book titled The Long March. Basically nothing happened at the Zunyi Conference -- it was all inflated later by Mao for propaganda.

• I have cleaned up all but the "Background", since the sources I used didn't cover the background very easily. If no one objects I am going to complete scratch the current "Background" text and replace it with appropriate bits from the article The Long March and remove {{POV}}. So you all have a few days to object before I do this.--BirgitteSB 19:30, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I have now done this and removed the POV tag.--BirgitteSB 22:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

The list of attendees and suspected attendees is contradictory (e.g., Yang Shangkun).DOR (HK) (talk) 06:01, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
