Content and prose review

[edit]

I will comment on anything I notice, but not all of my comments will be strictly related to the GA criteria, so not everything needs to be actioned. Feel free to push back if you think I am asking too much, and please tell me when I am wrong.

  • Will comment on lead section later.
  • History: might be better to say "the Shanghai Xinbao newspaper" or to drop the definite article.
  • Why is the Feiren bicycle more notable that the company producing it? (I found more ads for Feima bikes).
  • these formed the core of China's domestic bicycle after the war missing a word ("production"?)
  • Proliferation: I don't believe the link to cun (unit) is appropriate here; the old unit was obsolete by the time. Also, 24, 26, 28 (Imperial) inches are normal bicycle sizes where I come from, and a modern cun is 1.3 inches, Chinese people are not very tall and I don't believe they ride 31+ inch bicycles.
  • 2 months wages should it be months'?
  • In reference the proliferation to the proliferation?
  • "three rounds" (三转) hm, isn't it more something like the "three things that rotate"?

More later! —Kusma (talk) 22:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC) Reminders to discuss / mention later:[reply]

  • Recentist China and bike related news: [1] (also has nonzero Google Scholar hits)
  • Discuss whether Ji Cheng (cyclist) should be mentioned.
