Chinese threat theory: comments

[edit]

@TMXX0818 This article looks great and almost ready to go. As suggested by @Piotrus, I am leaving some brief comments.

  1. Expand the lede (the very first paragraph). The lede section of a long article like this is usually not a single sentence. When expanding the lede, ask yourself what best summarizes this article in the span of one or two paragraph.
  2. Do not wikilink section titles. (I think this is the convention per WP:MOS, but please correct me if I'm wrong). Similarly, I don't think it's conventional to use {{ROC}}, {{USA}}, {{JPN}}, etc. for section titles.
  3. The "See" section is usually called "See also". Contents in this section usually comes in the format of bullet points, e.g.
==See also ==
* wikilink1
* wikilink2
* wikilink3

Good job translating the Chinese article into English, but also please have in mind that the Chinese Wikipedia article may not be the best article–it sometimes comes with its own shortcomings when it comes to citation and formatting. It is the responsibility of a good translator to fix these on their way to go. TheLonelyPather (talk) 15:38, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Necessary refocusing overhaul

[edit]

This article is not documenting the phenomenon on the correct level: it's meant to be about the conception of China by other polities, not just the ways China might be threatening in general. I would start with cutting out almost all of the "Threat type" subsection, as it contains general ruminations and not much cited material about the "theory" per se.
The article should not be about every individual way that a country says China is a threat, that is a poor, synthetic premise. Remsense 17:52, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I hear you, but if the sources are reliable and discuss this concept, I think this is a proper synthesis. More review of particular examples and content are needed. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:22, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
