slogans: how's this for a condensed version?

Please try using WebCite. See WebCite for a general explanation. i usually paste URLs into http://webcitation.org/archive.php + give a valid email address (for security, you can use a "front address" that forwards to your main address, but if it bounces i assume you might have problems; i think this is probably an antispam thing, as well as for "informing" the user), and then

<ref name="...">{{cite news | first= | last= | pages= | language =| title= | date= | publisher= | url= |accessdate=2999-12-31 |archiveurl= |archivedate= |deadurl=no}}</ref> or
<ref name="...">{{cite web| last =| first =| authorlink =| coauthors =| title =| work =| publisher =| date =| url = |format =| doi =| accessdate = |archiveurl= |archivedate= |deadurl=no}}</ref>

depending on whether the source is a "newspaper" or a non-news web page.

i've extended the appled ref by including a webcite link: http://www.webcitation.org/5wykBEkj9 Please add an author if there is one (maybe just as "last" = last name would be best, probably no point separating "first" and "last" name in non-Western contexts). i couldn't see any obvious date on the page, except for today's date 6 March which is presumably the date of viewing the page, not the date the article was written. This is a somewhat careless website setup for a news-y type organisation. So i put 2011-02 as the date - sometime in February.

i looked more carefully comparing the appled webarchive'd page and the SCMP page. i agree that the two slogans are more or less the same, but the pre-6 March announcement claims that only one slogan is needed at all. i don't see much point bringing a lot of attention to this "claim" in the SCMP article, so i've compressed it just to an alternative version of the slogan. Have a look what i've done. For people who are totally illiterate in Mandarin (i'm probably at about preschool/very early primary school level :P) it should be good to have one reference directly in English, and WP guidelines also prefer English sources unless none are available. Hope you find this is a reasonable balance. Boud (talk) 10:27, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BTW: What next for the Jasmine Revolution article?

BTW, the AfD to delete Jasmine Revolution was rejected, but IMHO the context has changed now in terms of what articles are "accepted". See Talk:Jasmine_Revolution and feel free to comment on my suggestion as to what to do next. Boud (talk) 10:42, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request for a redirection link for 2011 Chinese protests

Dear Stifle, thank you for deciding on the deletion request on 2011 Chinese protests. On the AfD page there, I have suggested that one could create a redirection link 2011 protests in China to this article in case it will be kept. There are already the redirections 2011 protests in Bahrain, 2011 protests in Egypt, 2011 protests in Tunisia not unrelated to the article in question. A user looking for the Chinese protests might start typing "2011 protests" and then see the autofill options "Bahrain, China, Egypt, Tunisia" if there will be a redirection. Thank you very much for consideration, Best Zhangjiandong (talk) 04:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you're asking me to do, but there is no reason not to create such redirects, and you do not need permission to create them. Stifle (talk) 13:24, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
