0101TRANc,may I ask you how to add a photo on the page? I tried a lot of times and the system show that"upload successful",but the photo still doesn't appear on the page,which upsets me a lot.

--

If it says "upload successful," then it should work. Are you sure you are using the right file name when you try to edit the page to add it? The file name is also case-sensitive. Have you looked at Wikipedia's page on how to add images? It's at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editing_FAQ#How_can_I_put_pictures_on_my_pages.3F

Hope that helps!  :) 0101Tranc

Thank you!You see, I have successfully added some photos today :)

--

You're welcome! Glad it worked. I like the photos!!! =) 0101Tranc

For the photos, I think maybe all of them should be credited/cited... I cited the sources for the ones I put up so maybe we can do that for the others too.

I put the caption back on the portrait pic because it disappeared after it got enlarged. I kept the size that it got enlarged to because I didn't think I had a good reason to change its size so I just added the caption, but I did kind of like the smaller size for the portrait more....:) 0101TRANc 15:09, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)0101Tranc


I think this article has the potential to become featured if you guys keep up the good work. -spencer195 03:58, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

To the person that added the section on Liang's fiction writings - Are you sure those novels are fictions? The titles sound non-fiction so I just wanted to make sure. :) 0101TRANc 19:54, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)0101Tranc

Spencer195- do you think it'd be a good idea for us to nominate it yet? =D 0101TRANc 19:57, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)0101Tranc

I think the article could still use some more cleaning, expansion, and fact-checking before it's nominated. On Monday I will go to the library and take out some books on Liang Qichao to see if I can expand the article some more too. Other improvements we could make are:

  • Image:LiangQichaoMemorial.jpg has no copyright information. See Wikipedia:Copyrights.
  • Expand the intro section
  • Adding some pictures of his newspapers (if we can find them)
  • Explain the significance of his quote "Freedom means freedom for the group, not freedom for the individual. ...".

[edit] Why did he call it Yinbingshi???

Somebody please find out why Liang called his collection of works Yinbingshi and called himself the host! I am dying of curiousity! make sure your graphics compliment your text (watch out for placement!) keep up the good work. rewrite, edit, rewrite!(JMSC0101-TA) Lfcho 14:18, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Can someone please tell me what this means:

"After failing to pass the examination for advocating reform in his paper..."

So his examination was a paper about reform? I'm confused...it'd be great if someone could clarify..thanks!! 0101TRANc 17:07, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)0101Tranc

Under contributions to journalism, I am also not sure what this means: "He became the powerful modern form of the political and cultural journalist by writing new forms of periodical journals." 0101TRANc0101Tranc

[edit] Added the section "Liang and The Elements of Journalism"

Yeah, I know its a bit late to add new material...but I felt that bringing in Kovach's Elements of Journalism helps readers of the article gain a better understanding of what kind of journalist Liang was. I feel that it also helps put into context how Liang's journalistic works were indeed revolutionary and how he helped to raise the bar for journalists to follow. Please feel free to edit or even remove if you see fit. ~0101YIPd

PS somehow when I added this section I got logged out without notification, so I'm "218.103.197.186: in case anyone was wondering.

[edit] Advice about the new section "Liang and The Elements of Journalism"

I also heard that there is similar section related with The Elements of Journalism in other groups. But, our tutor seems not prefer such kind of 'analysis'. I know, 0101YIPd, you made a great efforts for the section. But, I still hope you can consider what I say. Maybe, it would be better to cut this section out or cut it shorter?


-well it's not just my section anymore, it seems to have merged with an earlier section. I don't mind removing it tho, if you all feel that it's inappropriate. ~0101YIPd

Hey y'all. I think the new section is good because initially, under "Commitment to Journalistic Principles," we basically talked about the same things but used quotes that represented Liang's ideals but didn't strongly back them up with evidence. So, that's why I merged the two sections and added YIPd's "evidence" to complement things we previously had in "Commitment to Journalistic Principles." ~~0101Tranc

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Freedom statment in Yinbingshi.jpg

Image:Freedom statment in Yinbingshi.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
