GAN for Cultural Revolution Group
I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Hey. Please be more careful with your use of tags. You have added {{ expand}} and {{ refimprove}} to several articles where those tags do not belong. The expansion tag should never be added to stub-class articles or dab pages, and if you add it to an article like 2009 Rally Ireland or Kindred of the Dust, you should provide an explanation why the article needs so dramatic expansion that the tag is justified. And the refimprove tag; definitely not applicable on articles like the aforementioned Kindred of the Dust or Allen Zwerdling. Thanks, Prolog ( talk) 02:17, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- The book source is so solid that I don't think there is any need for additional references. On the other hand, the web reference does not look like a reliable source and should be replaced. Thanks, Prolog ( talk) 20:35, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 05:22, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
