 * please link to zh.wikipedia articles. For example this edit shows how YuHua Stone was linked to the zh.wikipedia article by adding a last line zh:雨花石 that last line zh:雨花石 creates a side column link on en.Wikipedia which says 中文, and a "bot" will automatically add a reverse link on zh.wikipedia with en:Yuhua Stone as the last line on the Chinese article. Then users of zh.wikipedia and en.wikipedia can travel easily between the two articles. Good luck with editing on zh. and on en. 加油! In ictu oculi (talk) 15:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
