Chinese immigration to the United States
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for expanding Chinese immigration to the United States. The majority of your edit looks very helpful and adds a lot of information to the article.

I would strongly recommend you check out Citing sources and Citation templates, as most of what you added is not common knowledge and requires citations in order to make a strong article. I have a feeling that you actually stated all your sources in the Bibliography section, but it is standard Wikipedia policy to cite sources individually (after each sentence with the cited information) in a References section, rather than en masse in a Bibliography, which it makes it look like somebody's term paper. If there are other sources about Chinese immigration worth recommending, it is appropriate to put them in a Further reading section (which I believe you changed to Bibliography). If you do not cite your sources, you risk the entire article being dismissed as unverified original research. Please make the effort to create the individual citations as soon as possible. I'm glad you added so much new information, and I don't want it to go to waste or for the article to get a "no citations" tag without anything backing it up. --Cue the Strings 15:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
