Talk:2008 WiMAX Expo Taipei to showcase the solutions of WiMAX

OR

Written in this article based on several press releases, but in fact, I also participated in the pre-show press conference and took some photos for this preview. Brock ^contact... 18:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Original meaning of "MUST" by John Hsuan said in the Pre-Show Press Conference

• M = Mobile Communication Computers.
• U = Ultra-low cost, Low power, Low weight.
• S = Smart, small.
• T = Thin, Taiwan.

That's what I noticed at. Brock ^contact... 15:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

c/e'd first paragraph

I have copyedited the first paragraph so far, but there are several things to note for the future that could make this a whole lot easier.

1. Short sentences. Avoid the run on. In fact, get an English grammar checker and aim for < grade 12 in your score. For the percentage/index, the higher the score the better; this means more people will understand you clearly. In a lot of cases of your writing this means, "delete the comma, end the sentence, start a new one".
2. Referring to things with "it", "this", and "that". These are easier to deal with when what they refer to is in the preceding sentence and not a half paragraph away. This ties in with short sentences per the following point.
3. One object, one sentence. In this case there are two expos, except for the case of A precedes B avoid using the two in the same sentence. With point 2 above you also have to remember that where both have been mentioned in the previous sentence you must be explicit about which you are referring to.
4. Simple Wikinews/Simple Wikipedia. This is definitely not meant as an insult, but have a look at the Simple Wikipedia for their writing guidelines and tips. Obviously a lot of jargon would be excluded there, but the guide for simple limited vocabulary is aimed at getting the information to as wide an audience as possible. I am sure coming from Chinese to English there are many words listed as the possible translation. Stick to the one that is simple and you have the highest confidence conveys your meaning.
5. For this article, and from this point on, if there is information to add highlight it here on the talk. Cheat and use {{editprotected}} or something like that to draw attention to it and get native speakers adding the details. Try and see the difference between the change you ask for, and how it is implemented.

Honestly, this is taking longer than doing a paragraph. I'll get to the rest of the article in a minute. Nobody wants to see you go Rico, we want to see your English improve and the task of copyediting being slightly less difficult. Do you get any English press? Do you read any English news sites? BBC? AP? AFP? Reuters? Stephen King wrote a book with the title "On writing", and one of the key nuggets of information he is keen to impart is you should read as much as you write. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 18:32, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
