Edits to Basketball in China
[edit]I made a number of rather extensive edits to the article you've been working on Basketball in China. Much of these should pretty uncontroversial. I simply cleaned up the wording and language in ways that I think are unambiguous improvements. I noticed that most of the text was simply cut-and-pasted from other parts of Wikipedia. Although this is not an issue of a WP:COPYVIO since Wikipedia content is licensed compatibley, I think it's typically considered better to link to content elsewhere rather than just copying. I've turned your sections into links to the articles that you brought the text over from.
I'm happy to talk more about this. —mako๛ 06:41, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
It's okay to copy from other Wikipedia articles, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. There's more information at WP:Copying within Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 17:06, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
