The article is nearly a copy and paster from Reuters. Please rewrite the article. See below for some tips :) DragonFire1024 14:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The first paragraph is nearly exactly the same thing Reuters said. We cannot copy and paste from a competing news source. You can rewrite the material. I understand that you translated, but it still cannot be the same as reuters. I know you have interest in this, and thats why I did not delete the article. I hope to see it created properly...and as a new user, I hope that you will rewrite it, as I love to see new Wikinewsies trying to do so. If you need help, just ask me anytime :) DragonFire1024 14:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

We have to delete copyrighted material from edit history as part of the oversight. DragonFire1024 14:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I restored the article...Feel free to work on it. DragonFire1024 14:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. In fact the following what I just wanted to reply. Luckily you have restored the article before my reply, otherwise I have left forever already.

Thanks for telling me. It is different from what Chinese Wikipedia/Wikinews does (which still keeps the edit history until it is confirmed by the community that it is copyvio). Anyway, it really breaks my heart that you claim that I am totally copying from somewhere else. I just want to bring such an interesting news from Chinese one to English. If you can point out which sentences are simular to the Reuters' text, I would be pleased to rewrite. But whole article again from 0? Sorry! I don't have any interest to rewrite the whole acticle again, and probably never in English Wikinews. Goodbye!

I ghope you don't leave over a small misunderstanding. Sorry...but I saw what I saw, and now its fixed. I apologize again. DragonFire1024 15:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
