Dear Daniel, 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.). 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!

The length is still too short. Work on the first person narrative. More pictures might help the length and feel of the article. Oprah wind fury (talk) 15:12, 27 February 2013 (MST)


I really like your incorporation of pictures, especially the sample text of Xunzi on the right side. This is probably the best page I've seen yet.Dr_who (talk) 28 February 2013

I think your page looks good, it's laid out very well. Leo1299 (talk) 02:54, 1 March 2013 (CET)
