Ok, this timeline is weird, I may be confused, this may be involving an overlooked old edit war, and may also be involving sockpuppeting.

Note that JHC1990 is a relatively new account and has no edits other than this topic. They've also added an example of Denial of Digital Distribution to Trivia.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, which makes more sense to me than Banned in China. Curiously, FirePuppy have added Denial of Digital Distribution examples regarding the work as well.

Thanks, and an interesting chain of actions.

Should note that this is not the first time Chonky Lemur has simply readded something that was correctly removed with an edit reason. See this ATT report. They didn’t edit war in either case, but still.

For the record, Fire Puppy was permanently suspended after dramatically overreacting over the removal of the entry, according to the EB thread. That was back in October of 2023, the same time as their last edits.

Why does this have to continue?

For the good of all of us, except the ones who are gone.

Since OP didn't mention it outright, I suspect JHC 1990 might be Fire Puppy ban-evading.

Either way, it's probably time for a note to editors regarding the example.

The page includes this already

A note to future editors: When adding in examples, please give a reason why a work was banned in a country and/or cite a source which reports on a work being banned.

IP checking and editing habits line up. JHC 1990 bounced for ban evasion
