:Sadly the link to "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" is worse than useless because, in part that is even more POV than this page. But we are talking details here. The issue is not with individual words or phrases. My view is that the whole article needs to be completely rewritten and that, until a reasonable standard has been achieved, the page should no longer be considered FA.

:: So the intro is fine? Or should there be more details? To me, it has the right length and any other details can be read from the provided links by clicking the highlighted words. Also, I don't think the whole article needs to be rewritten, but maybe some parts can be cut down for clarification. If you seek perfection in an article, you won't find it anywhere. --[[User:Ryz05|Ryz05]] 03:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
:This is distracting me from other matters which have a higher priority for me at this time. But I will say this. No. The intro is not fine. The whole piece needs to be completely rewritten (which requires ''inter alia'' that it be restructured). I do not think the introduction needs to be more than two or three sentences at most and they should be completely uncontroversial. You then need to decide in what order to take the topics so that the whole piece has a logical flow to it. As it stands, it is incoherent without any sense of structure. Once you have decided upon the structure, you can see the order in which you need to introduce and explain the concepts. Thus, if you decide to begin with the issue of when the PRC actually came into being, you can explain the concept of ''de fact'' as opposed to ''de jure''' recognition in a proper context without muddying the sectional element with constitutional issues. And so on. I said above that you and all the other dedicated people working on this page should take time to reflect calmly. As it is, you are making ''ad hoc'' changes without any sense of where you are going and what you are trying to achieve. I acknowledge that this is difficult for all, so I will leave you to make whatever changes you deem appropriate without further more detailed input from me. My health is beginning to fail and I have other things I wish to complete before I am unable to write any more. [[User:David91|David91]] 04:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
