Daniel, your presentation on Mencius was well done and you also did a fine job of talking of him in the first person. Something I found difficult to do during my presentation. Great Job Cia1819 08:24, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear Daniel,
I think this looks like your first Wiki article and it documents that you tried hard to put essential things into the paper.
However, the paper still needs improvement in different respects:
- Images
- Sources. One whole paragraph you quoted from the English Wikipedia. It is good that you mentioned the source, but for a midterm paper, we normally do not quote from a dynamic internet source, but from established paper sources. You also did not add a section for sources used and in the text at least referred to a few passages in the philosophical text. However, even the philosophical text needs to be mentioned as a source.
- The paper is extremely short, which is justified, if you summarize something in a brilliant way. However, the paper is too short to do justice to this important philosopher and his elaborated philosophy. For the next paper, you need to spend more time on it and actually write more if the topic requires to write more to be covered.
- I also miss some structure of argumentation and own thoughts in the paper. Root 10:19, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
