Hello, Wnini89 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! TJH2018talk 02:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Greetings Julie! What a coincidence! My middle schoolmates and I stayed in your middle school, Shenzhen Middle School, for a chorus competition before Spring Festival in 2006. Were you there as well? Can't wait to talk with you about that! --XinqiaoCheng (talk) 17:46, 7 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Feedback request

I got your message. Is there anything I can help you with? Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 00:23, 18 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

I took a look at you're sandbox. Two of your references appear to come from the subject of the article - please bear in mind that your articles are supposed to be based on reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject of the article. One more thing - "and so on" isn't the sort of language you'd use in formal writing. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 00:27, 18 October 2016 (UTC) @Ian: Thanks Ia. The feedback helps a lot.
