English language

I removed this from the leader: "The festival was promoted entirely through the English language to avoid attracting the attention of the authorities."

It is a parade. I doubt the authorities missed it because it was in English. This is dealt with better further in the article, so I think it is sensible to get rid of this unreferenced leader statement. 88.147.45.134 (talk) 11:00, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly I have placed a fact tag on another section referring to the event possibly not passing well with the authorities. Such statements should be cited in order to avoid misrepresenting people/groups. --Taelus (talk) 11:28, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And I have now removed it having found a citation... Sorry, I misread the article when I first read through it and didn't catch the potential reference. --Taelus (talk) 11:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's NOT a parade, it's a party/festival/gathering at a private venue and thus could slip under official radar to some extent. They also advertised in a non-Chinese text to avoid too much opposition from local civilians. Radagast (talk) 03:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is small unimportant news and should not clutter up WikiPedia's front pages. Plane crashes, economic crises, acute infectious diseases are news. This is a tiny exhibition. Ho-humregford (talk) 04:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Plus it is totally not reported in Shanghai in the official media for now. 99% of the local people are not even aware of this.
