About Like a Speeding Youth pinyin and ISBN

edit

Hi Nnu-12-22100538, and again welcome to the English language Wikipedia! Could you possibly add the pinyin and ISBN for that book? I haven't been able to find either of them. Cheers! --Shirt58 (talk) 14:55, 19 September 2011 (UTC)Reply


  HAPPY HELP

  Use Spaces  
Spaces usually come after punctuation marks.
Instead of this:
  • I like bunnies(rabbits).They are not only cute,but friendly too.
Try this:
  • I like bunnies (rabbits). They are not only cute, but friendly too.

Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)Reply


  Protect Your Article  
1. Putting lots and lots of references into your article protects it from being deleted.
2. Put references in your article like this example:
Rabbits are cute.<ref>http://www.about-rabbits.com</ref>
3. Add this to the bottom of the article:
==References==
{{reflist}}
4. Don't use Baidu.baike, Hudong, Tianya and sites that are not professionally written.
5. Write in your own words. Just the facts. Don't copy and paste.
6. Make your article style like other articles.

Dear Student, thanks for writing Like a Speeding Youth. As you can see there are many tempated warnings at the top. Don't let it discourage you and do what has to be done. Some suggestions from my side:

  • make links (this is a link to a flower
  • Make sections
  • make references (not baidu etc!), to reliable sources (read here what that is WP:RS)
  • Don't write your personal opinion but stick to the plain facts. This (t's unbelievable but true meaningful and deep.) should absolutely go.

this is how you make it (just press edit to see how I did it) Questions? let me know on my talk page! If you have further improved it, let me know as well, and I will review again... L.tak (talk) 20:51, 1 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Here is some advice and comments:

You uploaded these pictures, but did not say where you got them from:

Did you get them from the internet?

There is a pink box on this page entitled "Use Spaces". Please read it and then look at your article. Also, as you have read many, many English education books, etc., I'm sure you know that the punctuation in a sentence like this is incorrect:

".They writed books for famous authors and then published in their names.The protagonist and Lao Qiang were poor,besides writing ,they had nothing to do but idle away.They could enjoy a short luxury life as long as they got payments from some underground editors."

After you address those issues, we can look into other matters. I will watch the article to see how you progress. Good luck, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:43, 16 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

I don't think you understand. You just changed the wording. As I said above, the problem is with the punctuation and spacing. Please, again, and again, read the pink box entitled "Use Spaces". Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:21, 16 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of An Untouched Paradise Shaxi

edit
 

The article An Untouched Paradise Shaxi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

POV Original research, two articles with name "Shaxi" already exist, likely a duplicate of one of them. No context, no sources.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi. When you recently edited Like a Speeding Youth, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Diogenes (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Like a Speeding Youth

edit

Hello, Nnu-12-22100538, and thank you for all your hard work on Like a Speeding Youth. I notice that you are editing it now – sorry if I've been changing it at the same time as you have. I looked back at the state of the article when all those tags were inserted at the top, and I don't think those tags apply any more, so I've removed them. I won't make any more changes at present, since you are currently working on the article. Best wishes, Hebrides (talk) 08:27, 25 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Neutrality

edit

It is very important not to make boastful statements when writing about a subject. If you use meaningless, promotional terms then the article can seem like spam and get deleted. This is why we should not have boasting about which school is better than another school or pointless comments about how proud people are.

Anyway, here are some things you can do to help with Taicang senior high school:

  • The "spirit" section does not make any sense to a Westerner like me. You need to explain what it means before you list the items. Maybe you can copy this from an existing article about another school. It does not need to be a big explanation, just enough to let people know what "spirit" means.
  • Try to explain what is meant by "focus of high schools". This is not clear. Is "focus" the right word?
  • You mention it being a 4 star school but it is not clear what that means. Every country has a different way of grading schools so it is important to link to an explanation of these stars ratings so that readers can find out who awards the stars and what they mean. I assume 4 stars is good, but is it 4 out of 4, 4 out of 5 or something else?

Jincang Lake, Taicang

edit

Thanks for creating the Jincang Lake, Taicang article – an interesting read, and a nicely constructed article. I just made a number of really small edits to the page, but I thought I would leave a message for you, to explain my reasons for a few of the changes:

  • I removed "new" from the first paragraph and stated "2008" because this article may still be here in 2050...
  • I moved images to the right and to the start of the section and removed the multiple blank lines: putting blank lines in might make everything look nice on your "browser + screen resolution + text size + browser window size", but people view Wikipedia on lots of different devices. It's better just to let the material flow onto whatever the reader is using.
  • Dates appeared twice in the "Events" table – I removed duplicates.

My other changes were, I think, straighforward. Feel free to change anything that I have done that you don't like. Best wishes — Hebrides (talk) 21:14, 30 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
