Authorship[edit]

This earlier version (25 February) of the draft was, the draft's history reveals, the work of AshleyLande alone.

And this edit of 5 March was also made by AshleyLande.

It's a single username, but I get the distinct impression that this is the work of more than one person. As an example, consider Also running script is typed of cursive style with Chinese characters it more fancy then any normal running script within the latter edit. Nothing like it appears within the early versions of this draft.

AshleyLande, any comment? -- Hoary (talk) 01:20, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And this has continued, with
  • they think that jade has some magically power such helping people living forever one many reason, why they think it has otherworldliness.
  • because it was hard skill for the artist who were able to work with success with jade stone, since it was not as common skill. which makes. it more expensive why average people most likely couldn't afford any kind of jade statue.
Any comment, AshleyLande? -- Hoary (talk) 00:10, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
what wrong with this ? AshleyLande (talk) 15:17, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
AshleyLande, as it was originally written by "AshleyLande", the draft had its problems, but its prose was English as the/a first language of the writer. The recent additions are also written by "AshleyLande", but their prose is English as the/a second language of the writer. It's as if the person first calling herself "AshleyLande" lost interest in the draft and gave her user ID and password to a friend. -- Hoary (talk) 23:30, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
okay you have lost me again because if your asking if given my account information some else answer is no what do mean i have lost interest i'm justing to get this done publish its hard when you guys are so nitpicky and i feel like fix it and still not to your liking. i don't understand when you said The recent additions are also written by "AshleyLande", but their prose is English as the/a second language of the writer what mean its all in english.
i just want tell what you need me fix in order get this publish. AshleyLande (talk) 15:14, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
AshleyLande, somebody needs to fix the English of the new additions to the draft. I can't fix these additions, because I don't understand them. You seem to be saying that there is only one of you, so I'll take you at your word for this. Then a strange transformation seems to have occurred to your writing style. Possibly Gråbergs Gråa Sång [ping!], or some other reviewer can understand the new additions. I hope so. Please be patient. -- Hoary (talk) 01:06, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@AshleyLande you asked, what wrong with this? What is wrong with a sentence like they think that jade has some magically power such helping people living forever one many reason, why they think it has otherworldliness is that most people won't understand what you are trying to say. The sentence uses English words, but it does not use English grammar. Can you find someone who is a native speaker of English to help you? Vexations (talk) 12:03, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Text and its translation[edit]

The text and its translation come from the article Lantingji Xu. They were first added to that article in this edit of 14 January 2012, by Leungcwd; however, a number of editors have combined to revise the translation since then. -- Hoary (talk) 02:16, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

3D?[edit]

"Something that makes this art piece unique is that it is three-dimensional" This doesn't make sense to me, any sculpture is 3D. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:35, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gråbergs Gråa Sång, a wild guess: unlike, say, a bas-relief, this is designed to be viewed (and enjoyed) from "all sides" (though of course not from more or less directly above or below). But even if this guess of mine is correct, to say that it was (let alone is) unique in this is bizarre. -- Hoary (talk) 08:29, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
