Slum article, your message on my page edit

I do not mind you expanding the slum article. You are welcome to contribute, Jessica. ThomasJessica (talk) 00:04, 19 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I plan to work on that article some more. Why don't you try revising Shanty town article - it is related, and needs a lot of work, Jessica. ThomasJessica (talk) 01:43, 24 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Possible topic for Migration in China edit

Just thought I'd relay something I happened across when looking into violations of labor standards - [1]. It seems like there is an extra high level of distrust on the part of migrant workers when their relatives are injured or killed working in large, far-off industrial areas because of the perception that the local justice system will favor the company over the worker. I imagine this is also complicated by different regulatory environments from province to province, and the overall weakness of China's rule of law. Hope this perspective is helpful.

PS - just out of curiosity, is your user name perhaps a reference to Rice University? TI. Gracchus (talk) 23:11, 24 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your information is very helpful and I haven't thought about this issue yet. I will try to incorporate this information into my revision. And you are right, every province seems to have different regulations and have taken different measures regarding internal migration, because of which I suppose there aren't many scholar references on general updated policies. I will definitely address such a variation when revising the entry. Once I have finished the initial contribution (in about two weeks), I will let you know and hopefully you can give me some more suggestions. Thank you for your help! <--My user name is the pinyin of four random chosen chinese characters.>:) Feihuamengxue (talk) 00:27, 25 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, I'm glad this helped! I look forward to having a look at what you come up with. I'll also keep an eye out, and if I find more information, I'll post it here. The reason I asked is that I was trying to make sense out of the pinyin, and all I could come up with was "废话蒙学." :P Good luck with your project! 20:04, 25 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TI.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:03, 20 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
