Referencing[edit]

Please make sure that the references you add,actually contain the information you try to reference. From Chinatown Handy Guide:

"The Chinatown Handy Guide was the first book to be published as a tour guide for Chinatown." is referenced to [1] which only shows that the book wsa published, not that it was the first.

" It was also the first title to be published in four different geographic editions tailored to the largest established Chinatowns in America’s biggest cities: Chinatown Handy Guide New York, Chinatown Handy Guide Chicago, Chinatown Handy Guide San Francisco and Chinatown Handy Guide Los Angeles"[2] which only shows one edition, so doesn't support this claim at all.

"The Chinatown Handy Guide was the first publication to promote Chinatowns as a tourist destination, and also as a place of interaction between Chinese Americans and white Americans."[3] The source has nothng that supports this sentence in any way.

"Later academics described the booklets as “intended to boost (Chinatown’s) flagging tourist economy”,"[4]: that source doesn't include that quote, and a somewhat similar quote about a boost to the flagging economy is about the New Year celebrations, not about this booklet. You use the same source to claim that "Fang’s Chinatown guides emphasized the “retail potential” of the Chinese community to contribute to America’s society and economy", while the source indicates the "retail potential" of using the peaceful chinese community to lure visitors and boost the Chinatown economy.

I have moved the page to Draft:Chinatown Handy Guide so you can correct these problems before the page gets moved back to the mainspace. Fram (talk) 07:15, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fiona Ma[edit]

Hello, TeddyFang. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Fiona Ma, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. KidAd ― (talk) 14:14, 23 December 2020‎

Hi TeddyFang. It seems I'm not the first person to notice that as the author of a large portion of the article on Fiona Ma you appear to have a major conflict of interest. I should perhaps state that I'm taking at face value your self-identification here, and I'm not myself identifying you. Your name (and that of the Fang family) has been associated with Ma's political career for many years. She appeared often in the pages of Asian Week, which you published. She was quoted in advertising copy for Asian Week. You've been involved in several charitable projects together. And public records show that Teddy Fang made 23 contributions totaling $26,750 to her political campaigns over the period 2009–2018. All those things are absolutely permissible, but they all constitute conflicts of interest that indicate you should not edit the article on Fiona Ma.

Leaving aside any judgment about the veracity of your contributions to the article, you plainly should have not edited this article, especially given that you don't appear to have disclosed any of these conflicts. At some point another editor will muster the interest and energy to rework the Fiona Ma article, or simply remove your contributions. In the meantime, I'd suggest that you read the guidance linked above, avoid editing articles where you have a conflict of interest, and disclose those conflicts clearly when you do edit.
