Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Westernised Chinese
I changed the EN-ZH translations for now to the best of my capability (no Chinese school for me for 3 years -_-). see if you like the change, because I took some shortcuts with structure、specifically with assuming the subject was implied. In addition, I added traditional/simplified where different or lacking thanks --- 华钢琴49 (TALK) 05:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I agree with most of your changes, but wrt the "income decline" example, maybe the previous sentence would be more comprehensible to Chinese readers. --Givesaved (talk) 09:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to revert unless you or a third party agrees to, but how exactly would the previous sentence be more comprehensible? '由' is far more formal and an example is: "由田汉作词" (lyrics written by Tian Han) 华钢琴49 (TALK) 21:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * First off, Chinese is topic-prominent; Secondly, Chinese tends to clump clauses with other parts of the sentence, without using a comma; Thirdly, "由" is no more than a preposition that translates to "by", used both formally and informally - and on the contrary "变了..." is much more informal than "改变". "因为" or (to a lesser extent) "由于" is a more appropriate conjunction in this sentence. --Givesaved (talk) 11:13, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
