markalexander100 Posted March 6, 2004 at 02:26 AM Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 at 02:26 AM I thought this might be a good place to solicit help on Wikipedia, a user-contributed encyclopedia. There's a list of China-related topics at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_China-related_topics ; we need help with plugging gaps, expanding the existing articles, and maybe working on the grammar of some of our non-English speakers' contributions. Chinese-language contributions are very welcome at http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%A6%96%E9%A1%B5 . The money's terrible, but it's fun.

smithsgj Posted March 9, 2004 at 06:46 AM Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 at 06:46 AM Well what did you mean then, g_f? I can't see the difference between Sina and Yahoo either! And wikipedia seems to me to be quite a worthy initiative, applicable to Chinese and indeed in any linguistic or cultural context. Don't you agree?

bathrobe Posted March 23, 2004 at 07:24 AM Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 at 07:24 AM I'm not impressed with Wikipedia. Very much slanted towards the official Chinese line. For examples, see 'Koxinga', 'South China Sea' and 'Li of China', on all of which I have commented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Lee Posted April 15, 2004 at 12:39 AM Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 at 12:39 AM I'm not impressed with Wikipedia. Very much slanted towards the official Chinese line. But it looks like that it is also slanted towards the exile Tibetans. Read its version of history of Qinghai: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qinghai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
