Talk:Mencius

New comments in 2013

Dear Bill, this is a good start, but 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.). 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 [1]. Good luck with your composition!

Dear Bill, it is appropriate in length and gives a good picture of Mengzi/Mencius. However, it lacks some kind of structure with headers (see other articles), references of the pictures as well as page numbers of the references given. In total, it is good, and if you still have time, it would be great if you could add the missing references and think about some headers. Root (talk) 18:19, 4 March 2013 (CET)

Did Mencius feel that he succeeded? It seems like everything he taught was ignored by these kings and rulers.Anonymous5 (talk) 21:25, 27 February 2013 (CET)

I just want you to know that I used your page as a starting point for the code and format of mine. You are ahead of the curve. Look into working in the first person narrative into the article Oprah wind fury (talk) 15:12, 27 February 2013 (MST)

I really like the pictures you have, but adding some more wouldn't hurt and it would make your article look longer. Ratu (talk) 8:44, 28 February 2013 (CET)

I like how much attention to detail you put in about Mencius. I am a fan of that little triangle image, and the 4 characteristics of sympathy, shame, deference, and judgment.Dr_who (talk) 28 February 2013

I think it looks good and there is a lot of information. You could add another picture on the top to break up all the text a little bit Leo1299 (talk) 02:58, 1 March 2013 (CET)

I already read too much stuff with no pictures and this has just killed my left eye (right one already dead). --Meh 06:43, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
