Hi folks,

All of your wikipedia entries appeared to be shaping up well. My comments below are meant for all of you. Many of my comments to one wiki applies to all the others. Don't forget to add original pictures, illustrations and logos!

China Youth Daily

  • Remember this is an English Wikipedia -- that means everything you write needs to be in English FIRST, Chinese SECOND in parentheses. For example, News Probe (新聞調查).
  • Compared to others, you have had a slow start. You need to pick up the pace by entering more data. See SINA.com, News Probe for more ideas.

Caijing

  • Be sure to put your information into subheadings for easier navigation and reading. See SINA.com and News Probe for ideas.
  • Always spell out the entire name, then put the abbreviation in parentheses. For example: Stock Exchange Executive Council (SEEC). You may choose to use the abbreviation SEEC for the rest of the article.
  • Create as many links as possible. For example, Stock Exchange Executive Council (SEEC) should be linked.
  • For better presentation, hide the URL http://www.hml.com.hk/asia.html under the title of paper like this -- Asianweek.com
  • Utilize bullet points often for easier reading. For example -- Caijing's guiding principles are "Independent Standpoint, Exclusive Coverage and Unique Perspective" can look like this instead:
    • Independent standpoint
    • Exclusive coverage
    • Unique perspective

News Probe

  • Someone needs to carefully go over your entry's English grammar and spelling. You will be penalize if you do not make the necessary corrections.
  • Add more about the history and emergence of investigative reporting on CCTV. People in the English speaking world may not even know that independent investigative reporting exists in China.
  • Add links to the other well watched programs on CCTV. You can even write quick summaries about each of the 12-14 stations on CCTV.

SINA.com

  • The first part of your site can have more subheadings
  • Be more precise about your years, instead of SINA Corporation founded in Mainland China in the 1990s, find out exactly what year.
  • Hide your links under the name of the on-line site. Instead of SINA Beijing : http://www.sina.com.cn/ it should look like this: SINA Beijing
  • Please verify the newspaper name "South China Weekend". Are you talking about Southern Weekend? Nanfang Zhoumo? Please also include the Chinese name of the paper in paranthesis.
  • Create as many links as possible to provide your readers with additional supplementary reading.
