Oriental studies
Hi! I'm afraid I've removed your two paras at Oriental studies, though adding a bit with a link to Orient. Orientalism was already covered in some depth lower down, and has its own long article, as does Edward Said and Orientalism (book). Apart from that, your additions were not very well-written or precise, and did not have an encyclopedic style in places. You will have to raise your game if you want to add here on the Said area of the subject, which many people like to write about, though Asian studies and Middle Eastern studies are easy to improve. Some students seem to think the subject began with Said, but this is far from the case, and this article is mainly about the older history of the subject. Please stick to the citation style already in place in an article - see WP:CITE. But don't be discouraged! Good luck. Johnbod (talk) 14:12, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
