Really great start with tons of really interesting and useful information. I think you are supposed to write the article in the same way you are presenting by referring to yourself as "I" When referring to Jackie Chan. I really like the section where you list out his different injuries. He really is such an interesting guy with such an interesting film career. Maybe offer some more pictures and also maybe some video clips of some of Jackies best moments in action.

Dear Hannah, please start by uploading your powerpoint presentation and then paste it into the article. The final version should be 7 pages. You need not only to describe things, but also switch to the commentator role (maybe indicated by "Contemporary Commentator" and then evaluate and discuss the topic from different angles, put it into context, criticize etc.). If you want to write less, you can integrate more pictures. Please make sure to indicate your source after each sentence or, if there is a whole paragraph with the same source, after each paragraph. You can indicate it like "Smith 2009:345" and in the final section "References" write the long version "Smith, Jared, Confucius revisted, Yale University Press 2009, 415 pp." In the edit mode, section headers are indicated with "=" and sub section headers with "==". In the edit mode, paragraphs need to be marked with 2 line feeds ("Enter" key). 1 Line feed will not show up as a paragraph. For additional editing tips, including how to indicate sources and how to find copyright free pictures, please refer to [http://wiki.vm.rub.de/uvu/index.php/uvu:Community_Portal].

Dear Joshua, please start by uploading your powerpoint presentation and then revise the existing article. Now it is still too short. The final version should be 7 pages. You need to stick to the 1st person narrative ("I", "me" etc.) and not only describe things, but also switch to the commentator role (maybe indicated by "Contemporary Commentator" and then evaluate and discuss the topic from different angles, put it into context, criticize etc.).

It would be good to have some examples of Li Bai's poems. Specifically looking at the poetry section, the grammar could be tightened up. [[User:Cappuccino|Cappuccino]] ([[User talk:Cappuccino|talk]]) 16:19, 27 February 2013 (CET)

I too think some more examples of Li Bai's poetry would be nice with some commentary. I think the part already added about his life being a shortcut/ easy way out was interesting so maybe some more detail on that could be used. Maybe graphical examples of his poetry- such as the calligraphy etc could also enhance this article.--[[User:TaraDFroisland|MerchantThief]] ([[User talk:TaraDFroisland|talk]]) 00:39, 28 February 2013 (CET)

This is probably the best article I have seen yet. More visuals would be nice and more poems from Li Bai or other good pictures would be great. I think that you have a lot of smaller snippets of specific information and if you could go more in depth on those snippets it would lend a lot more to the length and the quality.

Good Start- it sounds like reading your paper is going to be a lot of fun- totally suitable "voice" for your poet.
Be sure to double check you spelling though- right after saying you might be of Turkish descent, you say "My probably" instead of "I". Simple mistake; a good proofreading will take care of that.[[User:Dekeo|Dekeo]] 06:02, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I really like the lay out and flow make sure you have refences

You don't have to worry about any of your sources. You were very thorough. I don't think the length of your paper is a problem. Being able to make a concise argument in a short amount of space is a good thing. Still, making the paper longer won't hurt you if you are worried about your grade and are still working on this paper. [[User:Name|Name]] 04:41, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

The sources look fine. Considering yours is solid text and not poem fillers, the length is of no problem. More pictures would be nice though~ --[[User:Whatisthis|Whatisthis]] 06:34, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I would expand on his poetry more, although that isn't really your topic. Maybe cite the second picture better. I would add a few more pictures actually. No errors, but can't hurt to double check. --[[User:Checksum|Checksum]] 07:06, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Dear Jenny, please correct your link to your powerpoint presentation (it does not work yet) and still work on the article. Now it is still a little bit too descriptive and too short.

Dear Samantha, The article reads quite good. Maybe you still have a little bit of time to add more pictures and write some more comments, placing Qu Yuan in context.

I have corrected the following things:

No colomn behind headers.

Headers are made with equal signs "=" in front and at the end of a header, not with " ' ' ' ".

Please do not forget to sign your contents entry on the main page "with [[User:Root|Root]] ([[User talk:Root|talk]]) 21:37, 27 February 2013 (CET)".

If you want to have a line feed in Wiki, please type 2 line feeds. I corrected that and it makes the article look longer now again.
Your image was not correctly inserted. You also did not correctly cite the photographer "ocean yamaha". I have downloaded the image from Flickr, uploaded it to Wiki, copied the way an image should look like from another article and then updated all the information, including the file name. Now it shows up correctly. This is an image of a dragon boat. Do you also have images of Qu Yuan or his works?

I have also inserted your powerpoint presentation.

I am happy to do all of this for you, but I am confident that you would also be able to do it by following our step-by-step introduction [[http://wiki.vm.rub.de/uvu/index.php/uvu:Community_Portal]] or by copying the things you need from other articles you are able to do it by yourself too. Maybe you can try that for further images, if you want to add more.[[User:Root|Root]] ([[User talk:Root|talk]]) 21:37, 27 February 2013 (CET)

Reads well with a lot of good information. You might want to combine the parts about his suicide with the end of his biography. Having a small section dedicated to a short explanation of his death feels a little clunky when it could just be combined with his biography. Also think about some pictures you could add that could really give us more information about such an interesting man.
