Talk:Jingjing and Chacha

What happened to the images?

Originally this page had images, buy the link broke. There is a "replace fair use images with free use image" entry on the history in 2010, and a section at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphics_Lab/Photography_workshop/Archive/Sep_2010#Jingjing_and_Chacha This is clearly a good fair use case under: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Meeting_the_contextual_significance_criterion One possible source that is quite officially linked to the Chinese government could be: https://web.archive.org/web/20070825092952/http://www.e-gov.org.cn/Article/news003/2006-01-02/15229.html Here is an analogous image for Qatar for example: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Qatar_filtering_message._Qtel_network.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cirosantilli2 (talk • contribs) 10:39, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

OK, I understood now, as I have explained at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jingjing_from_Jingjing_and_Chacha.jpeg , an identical file had been uploaded at: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Internet_police_officer_jingjing.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 but then it was wrongly replaced by a Commons image, then the orphan bot deleted it, then the Commons one was taken down due to being fair use. I reuploaded as fair use in Wikipedia now.

Jingjing, Chacha and Censorship

Since they are cartoon characters and not software, they should definitely not be classified as censorware. And where do they have anything to do with censorship in China? --Kakurady 11:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Their goal is to educate people about Chinese Internet laws and internet security pretty much like US-CERT. I don't think they censor anything by themselves.--Skyfiler 15:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

With the part about them being displayed at the top of webpages, it seems they are supposed to act as Big Brother posters and intimidate people into self-censorship.--Daveswagon 18:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

links defect

The links to Jingjing's and Chacha's sites lead to RSS-Feeds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.252.11.3 (talk) 09:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

That means you are not using Internet Explorer. Somehow Tencent decided to render their user's blogs differently based on the User agent string sent by the web browser. If you are using FireFox and IE Tab, add the whole qq.com to IE Tab's options as QQ's web site is not friendly to web browsers other than IE.--Skyfiler (talk) 20:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Now the links are dead.--Skyfiler (talk) 03:41, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
