Improving this article

[edit]

Hello, to anyone interested, I'm going to start trying to improve this article. Some orders of business include: removing the "Example Work" section, adding a photograph of Hu, etc. Regarding a photo, I've found what I think is a very good portrait of him, however I am as of yet unable to find its copyright status. It is at: [1] and is owned by The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library. TheSlowLife (talk) 00:57, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hu Shi vs. Hu Shih

[edit]

Something to think about: Hu Shi is the proper Hanyu Pinyin but when Hu was in the USA he went by Hu Shih. So he seems to have chosen Hu Shih to represent his name in the English language. TheSlowLife (talk) 01:07, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Agreed. Though Hu Shi is his name spelled in Hanyu Pinyin, we should go with the established spelling that he went by. Just as we write Chiang Kai-shek but not Jiang Jieshi; Chow Yun Fat and not Zhou Runfa; Lee Teng-hui and not Li Denghui. 61.224.43.221 (talk) 09:58, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sample work

[edit]

Here's the "Sample work" I removed from the main article. I don't think it's important, but a reference to a website that contains this could be useful. Since this is also in the history, if someone would rather have this deleted from the talk page, feel free.
