The Chinese Nationalists had also sought unity in their country as well as a transformation in the way that their society operated which seemed to heavily rely upon Western thought and/or ideals. They brought forth age-old criticisms about the Western religion and accused the Christian missionaries of actively participating in it as a way of eliminating the native culture like other foreign imperialists.

The Anti-Christian Movement (非基督教运动) was an intellectual and political movement in China in the 1920s. The May Fourth Movement for a New Culture attacked religion of all sorts, including Confucianism and Buddhism as well as Christianity, rejecting all as superstition. The various movements were also inspired by modernizing attitudes deriving from both nationalist and socialist ideologies, as well as feeding on older anti-Christian sentiment that was in large part due to repeated invasions of China by Western countries.

Origins
The most influential publication behind the movement was an article by Zhu Zhixin, a colleague of Sun Yat-sen, entitled What Is Jesus?, first published in 1919 and much republished thereafter. Zhu argued that Jesus was an ordinary illegitimate peasant child who became the leader of a band of mystical enthusiasts (with bandit elements) such as were often found in Chinese history. One precipitating factor was the publication in 1922 of The Christian Occupation of China, a large-scale study of China's Protestant Christian churches and China's resources. Although the publication had been intended to prepare the way for turning Chinese churches over to Chinese Christians, the title seemed to show a different intent. A student movement was founded, garnering support at a number of universities, initially to oppose the planned meeting of the conference of the World Student Christian Federation in China, and more generally to counter-act the baleful influence of Christianity on China's attempts to modernize.

Course
Pamphlets, rallies and petitions were numerous from 1922 through 1927.

The killing of six Christian missionaries during the Nanking Incident of 1927 has been attributed to the influence of the movement, but can also be attributed to more generalized xenophobia. In response to the attacks on Christian missionaries from various Chinese rebellions, the Churches sent out more missionaries to China in a “Faith Movement” to invigorate a call to faith for the Chinese.[1] Despite the rejection and danger, many missionaries were also convinced that by the twentieth century, the “Second Coming of Christ” would occur and thus, they were desperate to save as many people as they could before it was too late.[2]

The movement effectively came to an end with Chiang Kai-shek's baptism in 1929 and the appointment of T. V. Soong, a Christian, as premier in 1930.

Article Evaluation (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)

- The Talk page mentioned that there was some misinformation about the return of the tv series

- Perhaps incomplete but also limited.

-neutral, because it’s a tv series, not much could be bias. (Other than slang by fans)

-it was labeled as “low importance” but for some people it was their childhood

Evaluating three articles

- Interwar period, was a great article. It mentions almost all aspects of life between WWI and WWII. It was hard not to try and draw my own conclusions based on what I was reading. The people working on it did a great job of conveying their information from many sources. I would probably make the sentences run a bit smoother and less mechanical. It's just throwing facts onto the page without much flow except for the commonness of the topic at hand.

- Golden Twenties, is a stub article. It mentions prominent figures but only offers a brief description about them and not many proper citations. I would research and add more to these short summaries. It's important to make sure that all the sources are credible and the subject is notable. It also needs more time and care with the amount put in.

- Roaring Twenties, is also a great article. It seems as if it is almost done with the same good quality as the Interwar period article. Same issue with a subtle need for some critique in the way it should flow to become more easily understood. There should also be a few more pictures because of the broadness of a topic it is. All the citations could use a bit of work as well.
