Currency war[edit]

Hello Rogerio vv.

Thank you for your edits to our Currency war article. Parts of your edits were very good, so I was sorry to see all your work was deleted.

With that said, various people had concerns about the recent editing to currency war. Even before your work had been deleted, I had been asked to check them out. (Im the editor who wrote most of the article, and created it back in 2011.) Let me list some of the main concerns, as if you decide to continue editing, this might help you avoid any further deletions.

Currency war a difficult choice for a new editor While Wikipedia encourages new users to boldly edit what ever article they wish, our editing rules can take a while to learn. Even accomplished academics sometimes get into trouble when they try to edit here, as they may try to make edits that don't comply with our rules. Currency war is on a complex, high impact topic and is rated as a good article. For those reasons changes to it are subject to even more scrutiny than most other articles. It may be best for new users to gain familiarity with our editing norms by first working on easier articles.

Article size Currency war is already if anything slightly larger than is recommended by our WP:Article size guideline. If you wanted to write more about the 1930s currency war, then rather than further expanding the existing article, it may be better to create a new article on the 1930s incident.

Neutrality
Our policy on neutral point of view has been called our only non negotiable policy. There were some concernts that the new edits were somewhat non neutral. E.g. by the unequivocal suggestion that China wants a "de-Americanized world". Thats's a strong statement and I'm sceptical that the source given for that (Benjamin Cohen) would have made that statement in an unqualified way. Obviously China has indeed been pushing for increased use of RMB as a settlement & reserve currency these past 15 years or so. And yes some folk in the Chinese administrating seem very hostile towards US. But other individuals seem to have a much more positive outlook towards the US, &/or understand the various technical & political challenges it would cause China if RMB was to replace $ as the no 1 reserve currency. So I'd doubt China has a unified position in wanting to doso.

I can see you already have a much better understanding than most on currency war. But it maybe takes more work than you think to get to grips with NPOV on this sort of topic. Before I'd finished writing the article I'd spent maybe over 500 hours reading hundreds of papers, articles & books on the subject, and even then I couldn't have got NPOV without help from my friend Lihaas who I think is based in Asia, and helped me see perspectives I'd been missing.

I hope this doesn't put you off continuing to edit here, and let me know if you have questions or comments. FeydHuxtable (talk) 08:54, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
