Hello, Yueyao guo, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:29, 22 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

 

The article The General Office (People's Republic of China) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

In its present form, this page contains too little information to be encyclopedic. It has no references, and doesn't even say what Ministry the Office is part of. Other pages by this editor also need expanding.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Please expand your articles

edit

You have created a large number of articles about offices in a ministry in the government of the Peoples' Republic of China. What ministry? It appears to be whatever name is given to what would normally be called the Foreign Ministry, but the articles should say. I have tagged one of your articles for deletion, but I would really prefer if you can expand all of them and provide references. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:34, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Jin Zhengkun

edit
 

The article Jin Zhengkun has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 02:01, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please consider creating draft articles

edit

Hello and thank you for your contributions to wikipedia. However, as a brand new user you have created a number of poorly sourced and poorly formatted articles. Articles in the main encyclopedia are expected to be 'ready to go' when they are included. In future, please use the draft feature to create articles that you can work on over time and get feedback on before submitting to be reviewed and included in the main encyclopedia. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 04:17, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi! I wanted to let you know that you can also create drafts in your userspace by drafting them in your sandbox or in your userspace at places like User:Yueyao guo/(article title). It's what I tend to do under my main account. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:31, 25 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • I think that it would be best if you were to work in the draftspace or userspace for the time being, as this will give you more time to improve the articles and make them ready to add. As Melcous said above, articles are expected to be "ready to go", which means that they are at minimum expected to have enough sourcing to establish notability for the topic. Be careful when creating articles for political offices, as not all offices or departments are notable in their own rights. For example, there are most likely departments or offices of the United States government that aren't notable enough to warrant articles. (Notability can be a tricky thing.) The best thing to do is to work on them in your draftspace and make sure that they're ready before placing them in the mainspace. Working in the draftspace and making sure that the articles are ready could be time consuming and result in fewer articles, but it's the best option - especially as this makes it far less likely that pages will be nominated for deletion. Let me know if you need any help with this! We can always move the pages that you created to your userspace so you can work on them more. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:44, 25 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Appears to be about a section of one particular ministry but does not say which - not a useful encyclopedia article.

Unsuitable move of article

edit

I cannot think of any situation in which it would be suitable to move a legitimate article to a user talk page, as you did with Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, and moving it to a talk page of a nonexistent user makes even less sense. I see that you gave an edit summary which said "for editing", but we don't move an article every time we want to edit it. If we did so, that would be totally confusing and unhelpful to any encyclopaedia user trying to read the article in the time when the article was moved.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, you may be blocked from editing. It is not constructive to move an article away from main article space, effectively removing it from the public face of the encyclopaedia, unless there are serious problems which prevent the article from being suitable. It is also not appropriate to create a "user talk" page for a nonexistent user. The first time you did this, it may have been an innocent mistake due to a lack of knowledge of how Wikipedia works, but you were informed that doing so was unacceptable, but you have continued to do so.

Changing talk page messages

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Social issues in China, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 08:54, 6 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Yueyao guo. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, The Department of West Asian and North African Affairs (People's Republic of China), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Department of Policy Planning (People's Republic of China)

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Department of Policy Planning (People's Republic of China) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/wjb_663304/zzjg_663340/zcyjs_663346/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
