Talk:The 5 Canonized Classics
New comments in 2013
Kami! I liked the page but I found that it became redundant with all of the bullet points. I don't really know how to use this site very well but if there are other options of different sized bullet points for your sub points I would suggest using them so they are not all the same. Also I would suggest putting in some narrative to bring it to life a bit more. It might be hard because you are not doing an article on a particular person, but I think it would be beneficial to the reader and anyone who would come acorss the page. Also the narrative would add a variety of different ways you are presenting the information and make it less redundant. Samantha S (talk) 23:14, 28 February 2013 (CET)
Dear Kami, 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 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 [1]. Good luck with your composition!

Kami, It looks pretty great and has a lot of information, but I would suggest that instead of displaying all of your information in bullet points maybe you should write a more in depth section with more detail and information in more of an informational essay kind of way. Everything else seems pretty good and I like it. A Nonny Mouse (talk)
Kami, You have a lot of great stuff going on in this article. I would suggest adding more pictures and expanding some of the information as A Nonny Mouse suggested. You also have a broken link where a picture should be I think. If you need help fixing it, let me know and I can help a bit. (You can ask me in class tomorrow if you want.) You could also expand the section on how Confucius relates to the classics as I know that the professor really placed emphasis on that point. --MerchantThief (talk) 00:58, 28 February 2013 (CET) (Tara)
Kami, I really enjoyed the wiki page. A lot of great details and information. My only suggestion would be if possible a few more visual aides. My mind is weird and I learn, remember, and retain things better with visuals. Otherwise, Great Job! --Joshua B. (talk) 19:21, 1 March 2013 (CET)
Kami, Looks pretty good. I just wonder about the addition of the long poems and if it really counts toward your 7 pages. (I was told on my page that the poetry didn't really count as part of my wiki/project because the words were not my own?) Ignatius J Reilly (talk) 21:50, 1 March 2013 (CET)

Dear Arnold, that looks really good to me. Please still indicate the sources. You can look at the other articles for how to do it. Best, Root 05:07, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
This looks very good I would try to find at least one picture to add though I realize that may be hard to. Alchemist1330
