- Thanks for your edits to this article, Lzy881114! I have a few comments:
- I think this article would be comprehensive enough for a GA
- Some sections lack citations, which is necessary for a GA
- The article has a lot of transliteration, like " (Russian: "Китайско-Восточная железная дорога"; Kitaysko-Vostochnaya zheleznaya doroga or Russian: КВЖД; KVZhD), ". In general, this only needs to be provided on the main page of the thing you are describing (eg articles that link to Harbin don't need to provide the chinese characters for it)
- At the start it states "Mandarin: Hā'ěrbīn 哈尔滨", however usually it's written with pinyin and charcters separate. You can look at other articles like Hu Jintao
- With regard to sources, if you are aiming for GA they should be formatted so that all the URLs are given a title and an access date (that way if the url becomes a dead link there'll be less of a problem), and foreign-language sources should note what language it's in, so that interested users could use a translator
- The hatnotes ("See also...") at the bottom of sections are usually put at the top
I think with addition of more sources that the article will improve, particularly as you read through them and add to the article. If I might be so bold, I'd also recommend trying to borrow a book on Harbin from your local/state library if available. Such a book will have a lot of general information and background, which this article needs. A general book on the history and culture of Harbin would make editing and citing a lot less cumbersome!
I hope this advice is useful, feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Good luck! --Tom (LT) (talk) 22:54, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
