Talk:2010 Guangxi Wildfire

Untitled
- Sentences seemed to appear verbatim multiple times over various sites on Google, so I decided to rewrite the introduction to the article.
 * Searched article’s original three (3) sentences for plagiarism.

- Since the original sentences seemed to pop up other places on Google that didn’t credit the same citations, it seemed more unlikely that the citations were correct. Upon clicking on one of the news articles that the other editor cited, I saw that key parts of the sentences from the Wikipedia article seemed to match up with sentences in the news article. I decided to keep this news article in the references, due to its worthy information, but reworded the sentences in the WP article that accredited it. Unfortunately, most of the information in the article now comes from that one source due to severe lack of coverage and information available. I removed the other citation from the original WP article—another news article—due to how it was from an untranslated Chinese website, and upon translating the article using Google’s automatic translator, the article was still unclear on facts that could be garnered to construct the WP article.
 * Improved wording from one citation and removed another citation for the article’s original sentences.

- I added more background information about the event to help build the article.
 * Added specific details to article about event

- After adding more specific details to the article, I credited them to their sources.
 * Added additional citations to articles, from Wikipedia and external webpages
