Clarification needed
Your article on the The Hand-painted Combs of Changzhou includes the following sentence (after my edit):
 * Production of hand-painted combs in Changzhou dates from 春秋战国;

Not being a scholar of Chinese, I have no idea what 春秋战国 is. Can you provide an English translation of this Chinese phrase? Thanks! WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:44, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

your comb article
You're doing well, This is a good start of an important article. It still needs more references! Furthermore, could you explain the "honours" section? Is this the comb who was displayed and got the "award/honour" or specially designed versions? And do you have references for the honours/awards? Let me make you a deal: if you can improve the article with answering these questions AND add a few lines (maybe 4-5 sentences), it is good enough for display on the main page of wikipedia in the "Did you know" section. I will submit it for you if you can make the improvements! But to be eligible it should be improved within 2 days! Questions? ask me at my talk page! L.tak (talk) 20:36, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Combs
Yes, the combs are a good idea. Is this one of the exhibitions you mention? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama-Pacific_International_Exposition. Your references should lead us directly to a place where we can find the information. This site might be useful: http://www.chinakame.com/exp.htm, and it provides a connection to the 2010 Expo. Keep up the good work! Njnu-ban-xueshenghao (talk) 11:26, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

One more comment
And it would be a great honour for our class and university if you can make the article good enough to feature on the main page, as ltak mentions above. I don't know the numbers, but I bet that means thousands of people would see your article. 加油！！ Njnu-ban-xueshenghao (talk) 11:29, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Nomination
I made the nomination; so now let's see how it goes! Can you i) add the chinese name in the first line (between brackets?) and ii) tell me if there is a chinese wikipedia article at zh.wikipedia.org that we can link to? L.tak (talk) 13:22, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * And I filled in the references (complicated stuff for the first time; that's why I did it). I still think some things are still not referenced. Where did you find the info on the prizes? We really need refs there saying that the comb won the prize... If it is complicated, just try to explain here (by replying on this page) where you got the info form. Two other things: i) did I do the chinese translation of "Changzhou Comb" correctly" ii)the first link is to the main page of a site (here). Can you link to the place where the comb info can be found? Thanks (you're doing good ;-))! L.tak (talk) 21:45, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

reverted
Dear student, in this edit you placed an old version back. I edited it in between and did some things which were improvements (for example putting the chinese translation, making a better format for the references). If there is some question you'd like to ask about my edits, just ask it here or at the help channel, but it is better not to replace a text with the previous version, unless everything done is wrong... Some things I did, which you might think are controversial: If you have any questions, just let me know, by replying here... Good luck! L.tak (talk) 09:44, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I removed the factory. There are more factories of the combs (or not?); so I think it is not good to give one website (not neutral)
 * I added references requests. We need references of the prizes (just as your teacher ahs shown above). Please put that one in...
 * I removed links to chinese wikipedia. Chinese wikipedia can never be areference!
 * Dear Student, please don't remove references placed in a good format (with url=xxx and title=xxx). Furthermore, chinese wikipedia can never be a reference! (no zh.wikipedia.org); and also en.wikipedia.org should never been between the ref and /ref.... good luck! L.tak (talk) 12:24, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

submission for "did you know" on the main page
Dear student, as you know, I nominated the page for the did you know-section on the main page. We have now received a review. Many points are ok, but there are some problems: see here. Could you address these problems (make the article longer by just 60 characters, and explain the "Bi" better). Would you be able to do this? Rgds! L.tak (talk) 22:27, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, those were fast and good additions. I changed a bit, and have one more question: The two types of combs (xxx and bi). What is the real difference? The material (one is wood, other one is not?), the form? I think that is still not clear! Could you have a look at that and improve a bit? (or try to explain on this page, so we can discuss?). After that, I think it is good enough for the main page! L.tak (talk) 07:42, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your help!!! my answer is, in China, 梳篦 means two different types of combs. The main difference is that Bi（篦）has more teeth than Shu（梳）. Bi can help clean one's scalp. Shu（梳）be mainly used for combing. But in English, it only has the translation: comb. Can you help me??User:NNU-10-24100134
 * He student, thanks for explaining that! I changed the text now to (a different type of comb, which has more teeth); and I think that is about the best we can do. The article will feature on the main page on saturday at 20 or 21h China time for a total period of 12 hours! You can check it here: WP:DYK/Q. If there is an error, please let me know asap. One (last?) thing. I tranlated in the first sentence Yangzhou comb to 常州梳篦. That has the bi and the other comb-names. Is this a correct name in chinese, or should it be two separate translations ? Cheers! L.tak (talk) 19:21, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I am very happy to hear that! Thank you!!! I think it unnecessary to be two separate translations. Chinese people may often say 梳篦 together.
 * Good to hear the translation is ok. We'll leave it at that. Is there an easy way to make a picture of a comb that we can upload before it is on the main page (Here is how!)? (btw, when you reply on a talk page, you should sign your posts, by typing the ~ (4 tildes) or pressing the button with the "pen" on the top of the edit window) L.tak (talk) 06:52, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your reminding. I will try my best to take a photo before the decline.NNU-10-24100134 (talk) 10:18, 30 September 2011 (UTC)User:NNU-10-24100134
 * Great; hope you manage..! if you have any problems uploading, just let me know. or upload the image somewhere outside wikipedia (e.g. http://www.mijnbestand.nl) and let me know the link... L.tak (talk) 11:39, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi,I have uploaded a photo. Is that Ok? I took the photo at Combs alley in Changzhou today. Can you have a look?--NNU-10-24100134 (talk) 09:58, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It looks good to me (sharpness is not perfect, but it is hard with small objects); right on time (1.5 hours to go)! I copy-edited a bit and made a link to the four beauties... Is this a Bi or the other one (I think the other one)? Then we can add the symbol between brackets (梳)... L.tak (talk) 10:23, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Dai Yi
Hello,

it would be nice to add a few English sources to the Dai Yi article. For example, there is a Renmin university page in English, which also contains biographical data.
