AIDS/HIV Artist Selection

I have selected the artist Slava Mogutin for this assignment. His work with different medias will help influence my own project. For this particular artist on his wiki pageI hope to contribute some information about his work with the gay community. I also hope to shed some more light on the two criminals cases that lead him to flee Russia.

Peer Review for @Mtong14 (AIDS/HIV)

1).Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

 - All of the information and corrections that @Mtong14 made contributed to the relevant topic. A relevant addition that kept the flow of the article without distracting me from the overall idea. 

2).Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

 - The additions added were neutral they did not try to persuade the reader to feel a certain way about the artist particular work. 

3).Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

 - I believe that most view points are equally represented. With some extra emphasis on his work since he is an artist and that is what he is known for.  

4).Check the citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

 - The citations are from a creditable source and they all seem to work.  

5).Is each fact supported by an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

 - The facts are supported by the references. He mentions his art work its meaning and supports it with creditable sources from organizations and a thesis statement. 

6).Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that should be added?

 - The information not out of date. You can always have extra additions to the article, in particular additions to his work and their meaning. Such as the "Untitled" (Go-GO Dancing platform) 1991.

Plague Article

The article that I have chosen to work on is Kongsi. In the coming weeks I hope to contribute a large chunk of information to this article. The idea would be to add information regarding the history of Kongsi, in particular its role during the San Francisco plague of 1900-1904. By adding new sections to the article explaining the role Kongsi organization had during the plague I hope to further contribute to a better article on Wikipedia. Flushing out the article will help readers of this article get a better understanding of what Kongsi is and the role it played throughout its history.

Here are some of the references that I will be using:

Plague article rough draft

Kongsi (Chinese: 公司; pinyin: gōngsī; Wade–Giles: kung-ssu; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: kong-si) is broadly defined as a type of Chinese social organization or partnership, but the term has acquired other meanings under different historical contexts.[1][2] According to historian Tai Peng Wang, "almost every Chinese institution during the 19th century was called a kongsi."[1] Among overseas Chinese, the word kongsi was applied to both clan organizations whose members shared a common descent or social clubs for Chinese immigrants originating from the same province.[1][2] After the 19th century, these organizations came to be known as as hui guan (會館, literally meaning "meeting hall").[3]

In Southeast Asia, the kongsi republics were made up of Hakka Chinese mining communities that united into political entities that functioned as self-governing states.[4] By the mid-nineteenth century, the kongsi republics controlled most of western Borneo. The three largest kongsi republics were the Lanfang Republic, the Heshun Republic (Fosjoen), and the Santiaogou Federation (Samtiaokioe).[5]

The Chinese word Kongsi is used in modern Chinese to mean a commercial "company".

Contents [hide] 1 Functions of the Kongsi system 2 See also 3 Citations 4 References 5 External links Functions of the Kongsi system[edit source] The system of kongsi was utilized by Cantonese throughout the diaspora to overcome economic difficulty, social ostracism, and oppression.[citation needed] In today's Cantonese communities throughout the world, this approach has been adapted to the modern environment, including political and legal factors. The kongsi is similar to modern business partnerships, but also draws on a deeper spirit of cooperation and consideration of mutual welfare.

It has been stated by some that the development and thriving of Cantonese communities worldwide are the direct result of the kongsi concept. A vast number of Cantonese-run firms and businesses that were born as kongsi ended up as multinational conglomerates. In the Chinese spirit, derived in large part from Confucian ideals, these kongsi members or their descendants prefer not to boast so much of their wealth but to take pride in earning worldly and financial success through their work ethic and the combined efforts of many individuals devoted to group welfare.
