Therefore, Hu Zhiying got himself into trouble with his brilliant paper About the Transiency of Art, and the mere presentation of his personal meditation was considered a challenge to the so-called authority.Hu Zhiying.

He was denied the chance to defend his thesis and eventually failed to acquire his diploma and master's degree certificate. At that time, young teachers (including those of the Theory Teaching and Research Section), postgraduates who had finished their program, and those who were studying at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts jointly expressed their opinion to the Academy and higher-level authorities that academic freedom should be respected and learning should not be confused with administration.

Created/expanded by Jujiang (talk). Self-nominated at 13:12, 6 February 2021 (UTC).

I'm not sure this article and nomination are ready for primetime yet. There are still some rough edges in the prose that could be smoothed over into more fluid English, and while the copyvio detector doesn't pick up anything that looks like obvious plagiarism, it does suggest overquotation. I have my doubts about the picture being a free image, and even if it were we could certainly do better than "see, this guy is on the right of this group of three that takes up about one-sixth of the image" ... in fact I was preparing a crop when I decided to look at the image's source.

As for the hooks ... let's go with the original one; the one I had to remove a duplicate of, as what is now ALT1 is rather unremarkable as many artists have work exhibited worldwide. And even having said that, we will need to clean up the original hook as it is wordy and still awkwardly worded, as a result of being what seems to be a direct translation of the Chinese. Daniel Case (talk) 19:30, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Fixed that. Daniel Case (talk) 19:34, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Thank you a lot. I made a little modification to the hook. --Jujiang (talk) 21:16, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
OK, but the article itself still needs some work, per what I wrote. Daniel Case (talk) 03:23, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Can you make a small improvement for this article if you find anything inaccurate? My mother tongue is not English. Thank you very much. --Jujiang (talk) 11:01, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
This article is moved to Hu Zhiying on December 11, 2020, 2 months before dyk nomination.
The DYKcheck of Hu Zhiying mentioned "Article has not been created or expanded 5x or promoted to Good Article within the past 10 days (86 days). DYKcheck does not account for previous versions with splits or copyright violations."--Wolfch (talk) 01:06, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
Jujiang, Daniel Case, the article was at 1523 prose characters prior to Jujiang's expansion on February 4; it is currently 3767 prose characters, about a 2.5x expansion. It will need to more than double in size to 7615 prose characters if it is to reach the required 5x expansion–another 3848 prose characters. Jujiang, do you think you'll be able to add that much material? BlueMoonset (talk) 02:36, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
BlueMoonset, Thank you for your message. Let me think about it. --Jujiang (talk) 04:48, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: I have expanded the content. If there are some minor problems, could you help me to correct it? My native language is not English. Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 13:55, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
@Jujiang:, The article was at 1523 prose characters prior to Jujiang's expansion on February 4. The 5x expansion means 7615 prose characters. According to DYKcheck of Hu Zhiying, this article is currently 6254 prose characters, which is still less than 7615 prose characters(5x expansion)--Wolfch (talk) 20:45, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the hint. --Jujiang (talk) 19:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
The article is currently 6884 prose characters.--Wolfch (talk) 19:45, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
How is the conversion between prose characters and bytes? Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 20:16, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
I got the information using DYK check in DYK toolbox. I don't know the details.--Wolfch (talk) 22:44, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 00:25, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: I'm still expanding and revising. Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 00:25, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 06:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Jujiang, according to DYKcheck you're currently at 7448 prose characters; only 167 more to go. You're almost there! BlueMoonset (talk) 06:30, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 07:01, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Jujiang, did you use DYK check to get the amount of prose characters?--Wolfch (talk)
@BlueMoonset: Is the prose characters count enough? I am a beginner and do not know how to use DYK toolbox. Or, can you tell me how to use it? My only article Duo Yun Xuan is DYK. Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 13:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Jujiang, adding references, as you did in this edit, even with quotes in them, will not change the number of prose characters we count. Prose is actual words in sentences in the article proper, excluding lists and blockquotes and references; you're still at 7448. You can go to WP:DYKcheck to find out how to use DYKcheck. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:19, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Jujiang, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I just checked the article and there was a very large quote by Bridgewater in the "Connotation and allegory" section. Per MOS:BLOCKQUOTE, I have reformatted it as a blockquote, and it no longer counts as prose, leaving the article with 6853 prose characters. Another 762 prose characters will be needed. I was confused by the Gao Minglu sentence in the first paragraph of that section: it reads like a quote, and the "stated" and colon before it indicates it's a quote, so I added quotation marks to it. If it isn't a quote, please recast the sentence to better indicate that you're paraphrasing Gao—as a quote it's right on the border as to whether it is a blockquote, so a shorter quote with your own wording for the rest would be a better approach. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:43, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for helping to improve the article. I continue to work hard to increase the word count to improve the quality. --Jujiang (talk) 14:53, 14 March 2021 (UTC) --Jujiang (talk) 14:53, 14 March 2021 (UTC) --Jujiang (talk) 14:53, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello @BlueMoonset: Can you review it again? That paragraph is not Gao Minglu's original words. The added content is rewritten in my own words. The "Note" are also written by me. If there are any incorrect things, please correct them. Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 02:05, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Jujiang, the article is currently 9684 prose characters, more than a 5× expansion. You're set there. I did check the Gao Minglu paragraph before your expansion, and while it wasn't always his exact words, it was too close a paraphrase to pass muster on Wikipedia. I edited that particular section so it is (I hope) a paraphrase but not a close paraphrase; as part of that, I put some of the phrases in quotes where appropriate. Now that the article is long enough, I'm hoping that the original reviewer, Daniel Case, can return and continue his review. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:46, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: Thank you for your comments. I have quoted Gao Minglu's original words instead. Thanks again. --Jujiang (talk) 03:09, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to review expanded article now that it meets the 5× expansion criteria, since it has more than doubled in size since its initial review, and the reviewer has not returned. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:55, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
The article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. The hook fact to a foreign language reference can be assumed in good faith. However, the prose of the article is difficult to read due to poor grammar. There are some run-on sentences where the meaning is not clear, and descriptive adjectives with no following nouns. Given the abstract nature of the topic where precision of language/grammar is necessary to communicate complex ideas accurately, I'm not confident that this article is ready for the main page. I would suggest requesting help with grammar at WP:GOCE/R, or perhaps asking for assistance at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject China where there may be editors highly proficient at reading and writing in both Chinese and English. The prose needs more cleaning up for clarity of meaning.4meter4 (talk) 05:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments. I have summitted the requirement at WP:GOCE/R. --Jujiang (talk) 12:43, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
  • The copyedit request is responded. Some sentences are modified. The copyedit is still processing.The copyedit is finished.--Wolfch (talk) 01:35, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
  •  Done Hu Zhiying copy-edit request completed. Many thanks for Audreyw5678! Thank you, everyone!
    Could anyone please review it again? Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 04:43, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to check the article, make sure it reads well enough, and see which hooks work well. Courtesy ping to 4meter4, who was the most recent reviewer. Note that the article still meets the fivefold expansion requirement even after the recent copyedit, expanding from 1523 prose characters to 8323. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:39, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
A big thank you to Audreyw5678. The article has been expanded 5x and was nominated in the correct time frame. It is now within policy and is entirely readable. The hook verifiability is assumed in good faith to the foreign language reference. The hook length is good. This article can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 16:09, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
I pulled the nomination per Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Prep 3 Prep 7 Prep 2 - several concerns. 4meter4 Jujiang. SL93 (talk) 16:58, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
@4meter4, SL93, and ONUnicorn: I was only notified of the discussion here not long ago today. Thank you for your comments. I have added references to this hook. The overall reference material for this article is also quite a lot and rigorous. Hope to restore the homepage to promote this article. Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 18:23, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
@Jujiang: The issues go beyond the hook. SL93 (talk) 20:03, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
"He was part of the "Class of 1977", the first group of Chinese students to take the National College Entrance Examination after its resumption in 1977." - Everything after 1977 is unreferenced.
"In 2002, Hu received his Ph.D. degree from the College of Liberal Arts of Jinan University with the thesis On the Paramitality in Literature." - The reference says nothing about a Ph. D. degree.
"Hu Zhiying teaches modern art and traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting at the College of Fine Arts of South China Normal University. - The references don't say what he teaches.
The first paragraph of Literature is not supported by the reference. SL93 (talk) 20:03, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @SL93:Thank you for your comments. Most of these references are in the existing references:
  1. On the 1st and 18th lines of the reference page;
  2. Already added;
  3. Already added;
  4. Already added.
Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 22:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @Jujiang: That wasn't clear and reviewers shouldn't have to go on a reference hunt. Please cite the information appropriately. The first thing that I pointed out says that it is all in the 6th citation, but it isn't. I'm only seeing a list of names. SL93 (talk) 22:38, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @SL93: Not only the list of names, but also the information of the "Class of 1977", the name of the university, and so on. You can check it carefully. Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 00:20, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Jujiang I already did. Point me to where it mentions the National College Entrance Examination . SL93 (talk) 00:23, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @SL93: "Class of 1977" ("1977级"--this is a proper term for mainland China) refers to the first National College Entrance Examination in mainland China after the "Cultural Revolution". Did I make it clear? (Do you think I need to make such an explanation in the article?) Thank you. --Jujiang (talk) 01:56, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Jujiang I'm thinking of leaving this because you don't seem to understand what I mean. That information is nice, but it's not in the source. What I'm seeing in an English translation is "List of 1977 graduates of Jiangxi Normal University Time: 2010-01-30 Attribution: Education and Teaching Information" followed by a list of names under categories that include "Chemistry (undergraduate)" and "History (undergraduate)". The source doesn't state that it was "the first group of Chinese students" and anything about "the National College Entrance Examination after its resumption in 1977." You may know that information and it may be common knowledge to people in China, but that is original research without a reference that states that info. SL93 (talk) 02:06, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
  • I think you're confused because this is what the current cited source is for that sentence. SL93 (talk) 02:07, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
  • I went ahead and added a reference. I'm not sure why you think that the first reference verified everything, but I fixed it. It looks like all issues are fixed, but I will have someone else approve it in case I need to promote it. SL93 (talk) 02:24, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @SL93: Thank you for your modification, I understand.
(When I was just posting the following sentence, there was an editing conflict:
Could you please modify these few sentences in this article so that I can understand what you mean? )
Thank you again. --Jujiang (talk) 02:37, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
  • SL93, I think under the circumstances that if you are able to approve the nomination, it makes sense for you to do so. We should be able to find someone else to promote it. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:47, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Approved. SL93 (talk) 13:38, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
