Close paraphrasing[edit]

@Spicy: I've tried to reword it as much as possible, which sentences would you feel would require a rewrite? --Donald Trung (talk) 21:21, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trung, You might find it helpful to look at the Earwig [1] and Duplication Detector [2] reports. There are several phrases throughout the article that are identical to the source material and others that are very similar with only a few words changed.

Alright, I will try to change this now. --Donald Trung (talk) 21:27, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Spicy:, Is this a more acceptable phrasing? It's midnight here so I'm off to sleep soon, but preferable I will try to change as much as possible so nothing would have to be removed. Note that in certain cases it sees titles as matching as well as the list of English names of Jinbing, I would not know how to reword these without fundamentally changing their meaning. --Donald Trung (talk) 22:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's still a bit close I think. You can remove the tag when you are comfortable with the article. Titles and proper names do not have to be paraphrased, of course. Spicy (talk) 22:16, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Spicy: Closer but not perfect, I'm not comfortable removing tags placed on articles where I'm a significant contributor to, as it feels as if I have a conflict of interest with the article and that would somehow violate the neutrality of the tag. Anyhow, I hope that I've reworded this enough for tonight, as I will look for more content on the clay money specifically to be able to rewrite it more concisely, thanks for bringing the issues with this page to my attention. --Donald Trung (talk) 22:32, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zanhe: could you by any chance help out with this article and add a number of Mandarin language sources on this topic as well? --Donald Trung (talk) 21:27, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
