Hey there! I'll be reviewing this article over the next few days. Please be patient, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I've lived in Shanghai for a number of years, so this should be fun. Bobbychan193 (talk) 23:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Lead

Prose  Done

Make sure all information in the lead is repeated and cited in the body of the article.  Done Akira CA (talk) 10:55, 29 September 2019 (UTC) I suggest moving all citations into the body of the article and keeping the lead clean and free of citations (see MOS:LEADCITE) Non-controversial ones  Done, but citations are probably needed for claims like "Shanghai is a global financial hub." (see Singapore) and numbers (see Seattle). Akira CA (talk) 14:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC) "It is the most populous urban area in China, and the second most populous city proper in the world (after Chongqing)." Before this sentence, add With a population of 24.2 million {{as of|2018|lc=y}}, [...] for better context  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC) Try to split up the middle paragraph; it's a little long. Maybe at "During World War II, [...]"  Done, but before another sentence. Akira CA (talk) 14:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC) Expand the last paragraph. Try include a sentence (or at least part of a sentence) on each of the following topics: Shanghai cuisine, the Shanghai Free-Trade Zone, Shanghainese, culture (visual arts, cinema, performing arts, etc.)  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC) There are a lot of famous events held in Shanghai every year (Shanghai Fashion Week, Shanghai Art Festival, Shanghai Tour Festival, Shanghai Movie and Television Festival, Chinese Grand Prix, Shanghai Masters, etc.); say something like "Shanghai hosts numerous international events, [...]" then either list 4 to 5 of the most famous ones, or say "spanning numerous industries including fashion, entertainment, and sports"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC) "As a major administrative, shipping, and trading city, Shanghai grew in importance in the 19th century" this seems a bit weird, since this paragraph talks about Shanghai's history. Was Shanghai "a major administrative, shipping, and trading city" in or before the 19th century? Probably not. The word "major" is also subjective. I would replace this entire phrase with a segue from early history, like "Originally a fishing village and market town, Shanghai grew [...]"  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Infobox  Done

"Dong Yunhu" add citation  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "($494 billion)(11th)" add space in between  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) Why is $494 billion in parentheses, while $20,425 isn't? Be consistent  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "沪A-沪B, 沪D-沪H, 沪J-沪N" change hyphens to en dashes (–)  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Prose

Overall reminders and comments

• Make sure there aren't any duplicate Wikilinks throughout the body of the article; see MOS:LINK (and specifically MOS:DL)
  •  Done But there is a whole section on Shanghai FTZ, and the link to the FTZ has appeared earlier. Shall I still delete the link in this case? Akira CA (talk) 12:00, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
    • For these kinds of situations, what you can do is use the {{main}} template, then delete duplicate links.
      • Great idea,  Done Akira CA (talk) 06:36, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
• Use American English (per the article's talk page)
  •  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:09, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
• "10 meters (33 feet) high and 5 kilometers (3 miles)" abbreviate all units in parentheses (i.e. imperial units). Also abbreviate things like "square kilometers"
  •  Done Akira CA (talk) 03:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
• Try to be consistent throughout the article (i.e. "Old City", "mainland China", serial comma, etc.)
  • Gotcha Akira CA (talk) 03:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
• There's only a few citations left in the lead. Some of the information that they're citing isn't repeated in the body of the article. We should make sure we do that, then move the citations down. Bobbychan193 (talk) 05:42, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
  •  Done for now Bobbychan193 (talk) 07:49, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
• If you have time, add alternative text to all of the images
• We should expand the Economy section. For starters, we should add a section titled "Foreign trade and investment" that includes exports, imports, foreign investment, etc.

Subsections

Etymology  Done

"Upon-the-Sea" delete hyphens (unless written like this in a citation) (also change this in the infobox)  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "at which time" change to "when"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "There are disputes as to exactly how the name should be understood" change to "How the name should be understood has been disputed"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "during the Tang dynasty Shanghai" comma after dynasty  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) Resolve the "clarification needed" tag  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) There are several citations that simply provide Traditional Chinese and Shanghainese versions of Simplified Chinese characters. Try to change these into notes instead of citations. Use these codes: {{#tag:ref|Insert note here.<ref>Insert citation here.</ref>|group=note}} and {{reflist|group=note}} (See Vietnam and the World Bank and its source code as an example.)  Done Akira CA (talk) 06:36, 29 September 2019 (UTC) "a contraction of 沪渎 (Hù Dú/Vu Doh, lit "Harpoon Ditch"),[22][23] a 4th- or 5th-century Jin name for the mouth of Suzhou Creek when it was the main conduit into the ocean.[22]" The first [22] citation can be deleted since everything is in the same sentence.  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "This character appears on all motor vehicle license plates issued in the municipality today." I know this is "common sense", but it's best to add a citation.  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "Sports teams and newspapers in Shanghai" change to "Shanghainese sports teams and newspapers"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "established by the Governor of Wu Commandery Zhao Juzhen at modern-day Songjiang" change to "established by Zhao Juzhen, the governor of Wu Commandery at modern-day Songjiang" (note that "Governor" should be lowercase)  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:25, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "Today" this is problematic, because the reader (as well as fellow editors) don't know when the last time this was fact-checked or updated. Change to an "as of" template. Also try to find and add a more recent citation than the one from 2004.  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "The city also has various nicknames in English" delete "also"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Ancient / Imperial history  Done "the Shanghai area" was Shanghai already a defined area during this time period? If not, change this to "the area of modern-day Shanghai"  Done Akira CA (talk) 11:10, 1 October 2019 (UTC) Starting to see some duplicate Wikilinks, such as Lord Chunshen. Just a reminder to go through the entire article and make sure there aren't any duplicates.  Done Akira CA (talk) 12:02, 28 September 2019 (UTC) Cite the last sentence ending with "abbreviation for the city."  Done Akira CA (talk) 11:10, 1 October 2019 (UTC) "fifth year" change to "the fifth year"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC) "contemporary sources" vague.

It's also a long sentence; split it up somewhere in the middle, like this: "By the end of the Song dynasty, the center of trading had moved downstream of the Wusong River to Shanghai. It was upgraded in status from a village to a market town in 1074, and in 1172, a second sea wall was built to stabilize the ocean coastline, supplementing an earlier dike."  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC) "whose" not sure if this is the right word.

Clarify  Deleted Akira CA (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC) "It probably reflected the town's economic importance, as opposed to its low political status." Rephrase to say "Scholars have theorized that this likely reflected the town's economic importance, as opposed to its low political status."  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC) "policy changes: In 1684" lowercase i  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC) "vessels – a ban" change en dash to em dash and delete spaces. Since the lead already uses em dashes, let's be consistent throughout the article and exclusively use em dashes in these kinds of situations  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC) "in 1732" add comma  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC) "by 1735 Shanghai had become the major trade port for all of the lower Yangtze region" change to "Shanghai became the major trade port for all of the lower Yangtze region by 1735"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC) Rise and golden age  Done This section has only a few citations; make sure every fact and claim is cited.  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "International attention to Shanghai grew in the 19th century" move "in the 19th century" to the beginning of the sentence  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "The war ended with the 1842 Treaty of Nanking" change to "The war ended in 1842 with the Treaty of Nanking"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "dictate opening the treaty ports, Shanghai included, for international trade" can we be more specific about "the treaty ports"?

Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "(under the 1844 Treaty of Whampoa)" probably not needed; delete  Rephrased Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "fell to the rebels of the Small Swords Society" change to "fell to rebels from the Small Swords Society"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "in 1853 but" missing comma  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "Between 1860–1862," change dash to "and"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) En dashes to em dashes.

Is this accurate? There were at least two separate territories right?  Yes Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "kilometres" Amer. spelling  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "Baoshan, Yangpu, Zhabei, Nanshi, and Pudong" if these are the first instances of appearing in the body of the article, they should be linked (and duplicate links later on should be deleted)  Done Akira CA (talk) 12:22, 28 September 2019 (UTC) "when the plan was interrupted" change to "before being interrupted"  Done Akira CA (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC) Wartime era / Modern history  Done "The Battle of Shanghai in 1937 resulted in the occupation of the Chinese administered parts of Shanghai outside of the International Settlement and the French Concession." change to "In 1937, the Battle of Shanghai resulted in the occupation of the Chinese-administered parts of Shanghai outside of the International Settlement and the French Concession."  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:17, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "People who stayed in the occupied city of Shanghai saw no end to their suffering.

After 1949, most foreign firms moved their offices from Shanghai to Hong Kong, as part of a foreign divestment due to the Communist victory." both of these sentences are unsourced  First sentence deleted (it overlaps with the next paragraph). Second done. "divestment" link  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:17, 2 October 2019 (UTC) "the Communist victory" change to "the PRC's victory" or "the Liberation Army's victory"  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:17, 2 October 2019 (UTC) Some of these citations are incomplete. Specifically: "Problems and Planning in Third World Cities (Routledge Revivals), edited by Michael Pacione"; "Metropolitan Planning and Management in the Developing World: Shanghai and Guangzhou, China"; and "The Party: The Secret World of China Communist rulers". These seem like book titles, so do a quick online search and add any author names, publishers, publishing years, ISBNs, etc. you find.  Done Akira CA (talk) 06:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC) "86,300 hectares" "591,000 hectares" use the {{convert}} template.

Something like "Since 1949, Shanghai has been a comparatively heavy contributor of tax revenue to the central government; in 1983, the city's contribution in tax revenue was greater than investment received in the past 33 years combined."  Done Akira CA (talk) 06:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC) "welfare" add "the"  Done Akira CA (talk) 06:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC) The final few sentences are all uncited  Done Akira CA (talk) 06:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC) "starting the massive development still seen today and the birth of Lujiazui in Pudong" change to "which started the massive development still seen today and created Lujiazui in Pudong"  Rephrased Akira CA (talk) 06:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Geography  Done

Beginning section  Done I just noticed that "Old City" is not consistently capitalized throughout the article.

(If so, let me know)  Done Akira CA (talk) 09:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC) "Municipality of Shanghai" add link (even though it currently redirects to another section in the same article, it can still be useful for readers, and an article might be created for it in the future)  Done Akira CA (talk) 09:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC) Add links: "Chongming Island", "island in mainland China" (the current link links to a redirect to List of islands of China, so might as well link that directly. It's unfortunate that the list is incomplete/not very useful, but oh well), "tributary", "sandy soil" (link to loam)  Done Akira CA (talk) Also link any regions/locations that are appearing for the first time in the article, and any terms that the average reader might not understand  Done Akira CA (talk) 09:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC) "This deep-water port was made necessary by the increasing size of container ships but also the silting of the Yangtze, which narrows to less than 20 meters (66 ft) as far out as 45 miles (70 km) from Hengsha." confusing sentence (clarify); change "ships but also" to "ships, as well as" for better flow (no pun intended) N Deleted, this is irrelevant to geography and already existed below OK.

As such, [...]"  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:33, 5 October 2019 (UTC) "The few hills such as She Shan lie to the southwest and the highest point is the peak of Dajinshan Island in Hangzhou Bay" change to "Shanghai's few hills, such as Sheshan, lie to the southwest, and the city's highest point is the peak of Dajinshan Island in Hangzhou Bay"  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:33, 5 October 2019 (UTC) "streams and lakes" missing serial comma  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:33, 5 October 2019 (UTC) Climate  Done "Winters are chilly and damp, with northwesterly winds from Siberia can cause nighttime temperatures to drop below freezing, although most years there are only one or two days of snowfall." change to "Winters are chilly and damp—northwesterly winds from Siberia can cause nighttime temperatures to drop below freezing, although in most years, there are only one or two days of snowfall."  Done Akira CA (talk) 03:27, 6 October 2019 (UTC) "Summers are hot and humid, with an average of 8.7 days exceeding 35 °C (95 °F) annually; occasional downpours or freak thunderstorms can be expected." change to "Summers are hot and humid, and occasional downpours or freak thunderstorms can be expected.

It's great. Glad to hear that as I'm a native Shanghainese XD. Akira CA (talk) 00:23, 6 October 2019 (UTC) Architecture  Done The entire first paragraph is unsourced. Add at least one or two citations in there.  Done Akira CA (talk) 12:07, 7 October 2019 (UTC) Try to add extra sources to the rest of this section as well. The citations seem sparse.  Done Akira CA (talk) 12:07, 7 October 2019 (UTC) Add links (especially to famous buildings and architects) where possible. Redlinks are fine when "an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable and verifiable". Use your own judgement here, and see WP:RED for more information.  Done Akira CA (talk) 12:07, 7 October 2019 (UTC) "art deco Sassoon House" capitalize Art Deco  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) "one of the world's largest number of Art Deco buildings" any way to make this more concise? Also add citation How about simply "Shanghai has many Art Deco buildings"?  Cited Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) Does the source you added support the claim? If so, what I changed it to is fine. Otherwise, delete and replace with "Shanghai has many Art Deco buildings" Bobbychan193 (talk) 05:18, 8 October 2019 (UTC) Yes, so it's fine.

Aren't there skyscrapers outside of Pudong? Reword this sentence to something like "Shanghai—Pudong district in particular—has numerous skyscrapers, many of which are among the tallest in the world."  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) Link "tallest in the world" to List of tallest buildings and structures (and delete duplicate link later on)  Rephrased so the first instance disappeared. Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) "metres" throughout this paragraph: American spelling  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) "ranks tenth in the world" change to "the tenth tallest in the world" N Deleted, the Shanghai Tower is explained in details instead (as it's the tallest now). Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) "[...], as well as" change to "and"  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) Also check if these rankings are still accurate. I don't know when the last time the article was updated; there might have been new skyscrapers.  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) This section overall is very long. I recommend adding subsections so that its seven paragraphs can flow better. Some potential subsection headings: "20th-century architecture", "Contemporary architecture", "Shikumen", skyscrapers, etc. Some restructuring or re-ordering of paragraphs might be needed. Make sure to move relevant images to their own sections as well.  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC) Also try to expand or add a new paragraph about skyscrapers. Currently, only their heights are listed. Try to add some content about their architectural designs, as well as their functions.  Done Akira CA (talk) 08:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Politics  Done

Structure  Done For the table, try to add some references where possible. I think this is especially important for the "Assumed office" row.  Done Akira CA (talk) 10:22, 9 October 2019 (UTC) "Like virtually all governing institutions in mainland China" try to add a link here somewhere to the article Politics of China  Done Akira CA (talk) 10:22, 9 October 2019 (UTC) "politics in Shanghai is structured in a parallel party-government system" this sounds a little awkward. Can we change to something like "Shanghai has a parallel party-government system"  Done Akira CA (talk) 10:22, 9 October 2019 (UTC) "party-government system" link if possible Cannot find any, if there are plz let me know.

Either add "collectively" before "form", or change "form" to "are part of" (whichever one seems more accurate)  Collectively Akira CA (talk) 10:22, 9 October 2019 (UTC) Cite the last sentence  Rephrased and cited Akira CA (talk) 02:07, 14 October 2019 (UTC) Administrative divisions  Done "Area in km2" change to "Area (km2)"  Done Akira CA (talk) 02:34, 15 October 2019 (UTC) For the "Divisions in Chinese and varieties of romanizations" table, add a row at the top explaining each of the columns: "District", "Chinese name", and "Pinyin" (I'm not sure what the last column is supposed to be)  The table actually has this row, but is somehow hidden. Akira CA (talk) 02:44, 14 October 2019 (UTC) If possible, add one citation for the entire table at the top (after "romanizations"). If there isn't a source for you to conveniently do this, don't worry about it. cannot find one for Shanghainese romanization :( Akira CA (talk) 04:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "Even though" change to "Although"  Done Akira CA (talk) 02:34, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "administration units are located in Huangpu District, which also serve" change "administration" to "administrative" and "serve" to "serves"  Done Akira CA (talk) 02:34, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "classy" cite, reword, or delete N Not true, deleted Akira CA (talk) 02:34, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "Huaihai Road (previously Avenue Joffre) in Huangpu District and Xujiahui (formerly Romanized as Zikawei or Siccawei, reflecting the Shanghainese pronunciation)" change the parentheses to notes (like what we did in the Etymology section)  Done Akira CA (talk) 02:34, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "formerly Romanized" lowercase r  Rephrased to "Shanghainese romanization" Akira CA (talk) 02:34, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "residential areas of" change "of" to "in"  Done Akira CA (talk) 04:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "Pudong New Area (Chuansha County until 1992, merged with Nanhui District in 2009 and with oversight of the Jiuduansha shoals)" change comma to semicolon, delete "and", change what's in the parentheses to a note, and add Chinese 浦东新区 in parentheses for consistency with the other terms  Done Akira CA (talk) 04:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "further" change to "farther"  Done Akira CA (talk) 04:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC) For this entire paragraph, change everything in parentheses into notes. (No need for Chinese terms because they're already in the table.)  Done Akira CA (talk) 04:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC) "The islands of Changxing and Hengsha and most (but not all) of Chongming Island form Chongming District." change to "Chongming District comprises the islands of Changxing and Hengsha and most—but not all—of Chongming Island."

Population is covered in the "Demographics" section  Done Akira CA (talk) 04:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Economy  Done

Beginning section  Done First sentence: add serial comma. It also sounds very similar to the lead, so perhaps some of those citations can be moved down to this sentence/section? Here it is "center of China", but in the lead is "global center". Shall I change it to "global center" and move all the citations down? (current citation is on "center of China") Akira CA (talk) 00:42, 20 October 2019 (UTC) Yes, as long as it accurately reflects the citation. Bobbychan193 (talk) 01:36, 20 October 2019 (UTC) Wait, actually I can't put anything here after moving down the citation for "center for finance" to Finance subsection. Akira CA (talk) 06:15, 20 October 2019 (UTC) What do you mean? It seems that the citation was moved down already. Also, I have some issues with the citation that I wrote in the Citations section on the GA review page. Bobbychan193 (talk) 06:18, 20 October 2019 (UTC) I mean "the citation was moved down already" XD. Sorry for my poor English. So we need to make the lead completely clear of citations? Akira CA (talk) 06:27, 20 October 2019 (UTC) See WP:LEAD. What we should do is repeat all information in the lead, in the body. What’s optional is having citations or no citations in the lead. I personally prefer the latter, and since we’re almost there, let’s try to aim for that. Bobbychan193 (talk) 07:00, 20 October 2019 (UTC) Got it. Akira CA (talk) 10:41, 20 October 2019 (UTC) "with a GDP of ¥3.27 trillions (US$494 billions) that makes up 3.63% of China's GDP,[10][108] and a GDP per capita of ¥135,212 (US$20,425) in 2018." Split this sentence off from the first part. Rephrase to say "{{As of}} 2018, Shanghai had a GDP of [...]"  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) "¥3.27 trillions (US$494 billions)" remove the "s" from both words  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) "GDP per capita" link.

Verify)  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) Missing serial comma again  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) Again, it seems similar to the lead, so maybe some of those citations can be moved down to this sentence. "consist" change to "comprise"  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) "Average annual disposable income of Shanghai residents was ¥64,183 (US$9,695) per capita in 2018" change to "In 2018, the average [...]"  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) "according to the study of Economist Intelligence Unit in 2017" change to "according to a 2017 study by the Economist Intelligence Unit"  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) Table: "GDP per Capita" lowercase c  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) "In the last two decades" add comma  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) "fastest developing" add hyphen in between  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) Change : to ;  Done The Account 1 (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2019 (UTC) "double-digit growth" in what?

Akira CA (talk) 06:23, 20 October 2019 (UTC) If you mean it’s already linked in the lead, that’s fine. The same link can appear once in the lead and once in the body. See MOS:DL. Bobbychan193 (talk) 07:06, 20 October 2019 (UTC) I mean in the beginning section of Economy. "Shanghai's six largest industries—retail, finance, IT, real estate, machine manufacturing, and automotive manufacturing—comprise about half the city's GDP."

Culture  Done

So before I begin reviewing this section, try to trim it down a bit. It's currently around 2300–2400 words, which is almost 25% of the entire article (around 9600 words). My suggestion: try to get it under 2000 words, or ideally under 1800 words, and we'll go from there. If you want to preserve some of the less important details and/or interesting facts, you can move them to other articles that might be more relevant or more focused on them. I noticed that there's no article for Culture in Shanghai; perhaps you can make one. Also, Haipai seems to be closely related to this as well, so maybe use that as a base for moving stuff. I know next to nothing about Haipai, so this is your call to make.  Done So, this section is around 1400 words now. (Well done!) I'm concerned about its readability given its length. Perhaps a few (like 3 or 4) subheadings would help. Reorder paragraphs if necessary.  Done -- Akira😼CA 23:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC) "The culture of Shanghai was a combination" Something about the past tense makes this read awkwardly. Change to something like "The culture of Shanghai was formed by a combination" or "The culture of Shanghai is considered to be a combination"  Done -- Akira😼CA 23:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC) "Examples of the Wuyue culture's influence includes Shanghainese language developed from the nearby Jiaxing, Suzhou, and Ningbo dialect, and Shanghai cuisine influenced by the Jiangsu cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine." Too lengthy. Trim to: "Wuyue culture's influence is manifested in Shanghainese—which comprises elements of dialects from nearby Jiaxing, Suzhou, and Ningbo—and Shanghai cuisine, which was influenced by Jiangsu cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine."  Done -- Akira😼CA 23:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC) "western cultures" change to "Western culture"  Done -- Akira😼CA 23:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC) "and even food and beverages" change to "and cuisine"  Done -- Akira😼CA 23:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC) "western" capitalize  Done -- Akira😼CA 23:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC) "In recent years" vague and problematic wording.

I would probably delete this sentence. MoCA does not have its own article, which leads me to believe that it does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. As such, it is probably not notable enough to include in this article. (Feel free to create an article if I am mistaken.)

If so, split the long paragraph after "metro system"  Done The Account 1 (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2020 (UTC) "important transfer station" what does "important" mean?

Change to something like "In 2019, Shanghai's per-capita park area was 8.2 m2 (88 sq ft) per person"  Done for the first part. The statistics was in 2018.

If so, change to "more than 50 flights at Pudong International Airport were diverted"  Done Akira CA (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC) "Yang Xiong, the mayor of Shanghai municipality announced" change to "Yang Xiong, the mayor of Shanghai, announced"  Done Akira CA (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC) Missing serial comma  Done Akira CA (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC) "The measures involved delivery of the 2013 air cleaning program, linkage mechanism with the three surrounding provinces and improvement of the ability of early warning of emergency situation" awkward wording; change to "The measures involved implementing the 2013 air-cleaning program, establishing a linkage mechanism with the three surrounding provinces, and improving the city's early-warning systems"  Done Akira CA (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC) "to help companies to meet new" change to "to help companies meet the new"  Done Akira CA (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC) "The effect of the policy is significant" change "is" to "was"  Done Akira CA (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC) "has decreased" delete "has"  Done Akira CA (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Media / International relations  Done

This quote is interesting, but I'm confused why it's the first and only sentence in the entire section. There should at least be one or two sentences talking broadly about media in Shanghai that go before this.  Done Akira CA (talk) 09:28, 8 March 2020 (UTC) "Newspapers publishing in Shanghai" add an {{as of}} template before this. A simple year or year + month would be fine.  Done Akira CA (talk) 12:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC) There's one redlink and several no-link entries. First try to find if any of them have corresponding articles on the Chinese Wikipedia, and link them using the template. Then, for consistency, just make everything else either redlinked or not linked.  Done Akira CA (talk) 13:35, 6 March 2020 (UTC) "Broadcasters:" since there's only one item in this list, just change it to "The city's main broadcaster is Shanghai Media Group."  Done Akira CA (talk) 12:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC) For this section, feel free to expand the first paragraph a little bit. There has to be more to Shanghai's international relations than the SCO and a list of twin cities.  Done, expand with New Development Bank. -- Akira😼CA 12:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC) "Shanghai is twinned with:" change to "Shanghai is twinned with the following cities:"  Done - 祝好，Josephua(聊天) 00:38, 6 March 2020 (UTC) I'm going to assume every entry has a corresponding citation, but feel free to double-check if you have free time.  Done, updated Akira CA (talk) 09:59, 8 March 2020 (UTC) Is there a reason why all the city names are bolded? If not, I would remove all bold font in this section. (See MOS:BOLD)  Done - 祝好，Josephua(聊天) 00:34, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Citations

• Copyright violation status: seems mostly OK.
• A lot of the citations need updating.
• Some citations are dead, which is fine if they have archived versions, but ideally, they should be replaced with live citations.
• {{cite web |url = http://www.zyen.com/PDF/LCGFC.pdf |title = The Competitive Position of London as a Global Financial Centre |access-date = 25 February 2011 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131110224826/http://www.zyen.com/PDF/LCGFC.pdf |archive-date = 10 November 2013 |url-status=dead |df = dmy-all}} This source is dead, kind of old, and most importantly, does not reflect the statement it was citing. It says Shanghai is "likely" to become a global financial center.
  • Aha, you changed it before I found the same source as yours. Akira CA (talk) 11:57, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
• Any citations that are PDFs, books, or otherwise long documents should have specific page numbers in the citations because this makes it easier for readers and other editors to verify claims. I.e. fill out the |page= or |pages= parameter
• This source seems rather useful for expanding the economy section. We should talk about the Port of Shanghai somewhere in the Economy section.
  • Thanks for the source!  Done for mentioning the port. Akira CA (talk)

Discussion

• @Akira CA: I've begun reviewing the article. Since it's quite long, we can both take our time reviewing and improving the article, respectively. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Bobbychan193 (talk) 00:15, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
  • @Bobbychan193: Got it. I've just fixed the dmy and the AM English issues, please let me know if I missed anything. Akira CA (talk) 08:40, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
    • @Akira CA: Glad to see you're still active. I'll continue the review sometime later today or tomorrow. In the meantime, can you try to address the citations in the lead? Also, try to use the {{done}} template under each feedback bulletpoint to let me know your status. Bobbychan193 (talk) 16:01, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
• Can you briefly explain what you did in this edit? In the future, try to have edit summaries to tell other editors what you changed. Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:14, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Oof, sorry for that. I moved some citations from the lead to the body, and deleted overly detailed information (since it's the lead). Akira CA (talk) 11:05, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
• Ideally, every single claim in the article should be cited (with at least one reliable source), but for the purposes of this GAN, I'd be happy to pass this article if I feel that it's most of the way there. (I.e. most things are cited, and you address all of my comments to make improvements to the prose.) So, don't stress out too much about this. (If you're planning to take this to FAC in the future, which I highly encourage you to do, then it will be a lot more important.) Bobbychan193 (talk) 01:21, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Got it. Akira CA (talk) 05:58, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
• @Akira CA: I've finished reviewing several large sections that might take you a few days to work through. Just {{ping}} me when you're done or almost done with everything, and I'll continue reviewing. Also, given the length of the article, I probably won't be doing a second review or a detailed review of your changes. I trust your editing. As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Bobbychan193 (talk) 03:07, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
  • @Bobbychan193: Thanks for the hard works! I'm busy these days, but will inform you when I'm done with all these suggestions. Akira CA (talk) 05:58, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
• @Bobbychan193: Could you please tell me the difference between the {{Further}} template and the {{See also}} one? I saw both of them being used in the article. Akira CA (talk) 14:46, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
  • @Akira CA: From my understanding, {{further}} is for any article(s) providing further information on a topic. {{See also}} is for linking any article(s) related to (but not necessarily expanding upon) a topic. See the two template pages I linked for more information. Bobbychan193 (talk) 16:31, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
• Since I have some free time right now (and probably won't have much free time again until next Wednesday), I'll be continuing the review. Great work so far; keep it up. Bobbychan193 (talk) 02:41, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Understood :3 Akira CA (talk) 02:47, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
• @Akira CA: I've simplified the wiki-syntax for the notes. Use the template I used going forward. See WP:EXPLNOTE and {{efn}} for more information. Bobbychan193 (talk) 00:12, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
• @The Account 1: Hey, I've noticed that you've made some improvements to the article. Any help is definitely appreciated. Are you an alt-account of Akira CA? Bobbychan193 (talk) 18:10, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
  • @Bobbychan193: I'm not. I just saw this article is currently nominated for Good Article status so I decided that I can help in this process. The Account 1 (talk) 18:12, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
    • @The Account 1: Sounds good, and I figured as much. Thanks for your help. I will continue the review later today. Bobbychan193 (talk) 18:19, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
    • @The Account 1 and Bobbychan193: Thank you both! I'm a little bit busy these days because my exam is coming, but will continue improving the article as soon as I have leisures. Akira CA (talk) 23:52, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
      • @Akira CA: No worries, take your time. Good luck on your exam. Bobbychan193 (talk) 00:37, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
• @Akira CA: Just a reminder that there's one last unresolved suggestion in the Religion subsection. I'm going to be busy for the next two or three days, but I'll try to resume the review sometime next week. If you want to get a head start in copy editing, adding citations, and refining the prose in the unreviewed sections, go for it :) Bobbychan193 (talk) 20:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
  •  Resolved, thanks for the work done so far :D Akira CA (talk) 06:30, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
• @Josephua: Hey, I saw you made some improvements to the article; it's much appreciated. If you have time, feel free to go through this GA review and the article's history to get a feel for the kinds of improvements that have already been made. You'll notice that there are certain recurring things, like American spelling, serial commas, and {{as of}} and {{convert}} templates. Consistency throughout the article is key. Let me know if you have any questions. Bobbychan193 (talk) 05:14, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
  • @Bobbychan193: I can take care of the grammar errors in the article. I was hoping when this article passes GA status, that it could be a base model for Shenzhen, which I am working on currently. - Josephua (talk) 05:17, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
    • @Josephua: Sounds good; best of luck with that article. A lot of the China-related articles are in pretty poor shape, so any help is much appreciated. Bobbychan193 (talk) 05:19, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
      • @Bobbychan193: Will do. - Josephua (talk) 05:55, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
• @Bobbychan193: The source [187] for "The system is operated by multiple companies" under public transportation is a permanent dead link. - Josephua (talk) 19:23, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Good catch. @Akira CA: can you see if you can find another source? Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:39, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
    •  Done Akira CA (talk) 01:20, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
• @Akira CA: There is a citation needed template in the lead of the Culture section, which can be off-putting for GA reviewers. - Josephua ^(聊天) 17:58, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
  • @Josephua: Thank you. I've already noticed that, but haven't found any useful sources yet. Since I'm busy these days I'll deal with it in the next couple of weeks :) Akira CA (talk) 03:04, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
    • Take your time. There are several unresolved comments as well, and I'll resume the review once you finish them. Bobbychan193 (talk) 05:48, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
• @Akira CA: So I've just finished another round of comments; take your time. Seeing as this review has been continuing for almost two months now, I'll try to wrap things up. I'll be mostly focusing on the prose/MOS, as well as big, glaring issues like neutrality or original research. Everything else will be eventually be caught at the FAC level anyway. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Bobbychan193 (talk) 04:59, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
• @Akira CA and Bobbychan193: I'm putting "not done" templates to help you guys identify which comments are not done. It makes it easier for these comments to be assessed. If these comments are re-assessed, feel free to change it to the "done" template and end it with your signature. ;) - 祝好，Josephua ^(聊天) 22:23, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
• @Bobbychan193: Since the review has not been touched for a month already, I think it is time to start reviewing the Shanghai Culture section the way that it is right now. The review has been going on a bit too long already without a response. - 祝好，Josephua^(聊天) 16:06, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
  • I'm currently pretty busy with IRL stuff; will continue the review when I get a chance. @Akira CA: Do you have time to work on the Culture section? Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:30, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
    • OK. You can skip to the last few sections (Environment, Media, etc) while I'm working on it. Akira CA (talk) 05:45, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
• @The Account 1: If you have time, can you do the parks and resorts section? Thanks. - 祝好，Josephua^(聊天) 21:28, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
• @Bobbychan193: Parks and resorts are done, courtesy of @The Account 1:. Can you start 'Environmental protection' and 'Media / International relations?' I think it would be better if you reviewed both sections instead of one at a time. Thanks. - 祝好，Josephua^(聊天) 21:24, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
  • I'll review those sections when I have time. Bobbychan193 (talk) 03:16, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

• @Akira CA: I've found a bit more free time recently; excited to resume the review and finally get this article passed. However, it's going to take me a few days to go through all the edits people have made in the past few months. Bobbychan193 (talk) 14:35, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Bobbychan193: Glad to hear that. I'm still on so if you have free time just review it. I'll follow your comments when I'm free :D -- Akira😼CA 03:56, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
    • Hey, just a little bit of an update: free time is scarce once again, and I'll try to resume the review when I'm less busy. Bobbychan193 (talk) 18:27, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
      • @Bobbychan193: Sure, take your time! If you have free time, just review it don't wait for me, since our free time may not match :D I will catch up when I'm free. -- Akira😼CA 05:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Nothing added for over five months

Bobbychan193, Akira_CA, this review has not been added to for over five months, and has been open for over ten. That's far too long. I can understand that this is a difficult time, but there are other reviewers out there who could take over, since it's clear that Bobbychan193 simply cannot continue the review. It's past time to start this moving forward again. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:44, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm definitely open to someone else taking over the review. If I recall correctly, there's only one section left to review. Bobbychan193 (talk) 08:31, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

What is that one section? I would want a chance to review that section. -iaspostb□x+ 12:18, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Oh, I just thought it was "Sports" all along! Silly me who gets confused. -iaspostb□x+ 12:20, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

There's a couple unsourced paragraphs in the Sports section, I'll try to find the necessary references. -iaspostb□x+ 12:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

I found all the references I needed for the section. -iaspostb□x+ 12:45, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Now it's all there and done, so I am now passing this article. -iaspostb□x+ 12:48, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

@I'm Aya Syameimaru!: It was actually the entire Culture section. It's fine that you went ahead and passed it—the article was 95% of the way there anyway—but try to review/improve that section if you have time. Bobbychan193 (talk) 17:35, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm very sorry, but a 25 minute review is simply not adequate under the circumstances, especially of such a large article. The new reviewer is responsible for the totality of the article as it is now—I can't believe that there was time to read the whole thing, much less consider the entire article against the GA criteria. (For example, the opening does not meet MOS:LEADLENGTH at five paragraphs, and MOS:LEAD is one part of the manual of style that is required in the GA criteria.) I have reverted the approval, and while I appreciate I'm Aya Syameimaru!|'s enthusiasm, under the circumstances, I wonder if a more experienced reviewer would be a better choice here given the length and complexity of the review. We need to get to 100% of the GA criteria, not a less than that. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:43, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Thanks for pointing out the lead. A few days ago I looked through all of the article's changes in the past several months to make sure there weren't any dramatic changes that would require a re-review, and that was the one thing I missed. Fixing now. Bobbychan193 (talk) 21:40, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Actually, I'll resume the review now and hopefully wrap it up by today. Bobbychan193 (talk) 21:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset and Akira CA: I've finished the review. Please {{Ping}} me if I've missed any sections, or if anything else needs to be done. Thanks. Bobbychan193 (talk) 00:53, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

@Bobbychan193: I've finished following the comments. Thank you so much for your efforts and patience throughout :D @BlueMoonset: If anything else needs to be done please let us know. -- Akira😼CA 03:32, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Akira_CA, I don't know of anything else that needs to be done review-wise; right now it's up to Bobbychan193 to decide whether the article meets the GA criteria or if more work is needed on any of the points raised so far (or something new that needs doing catches the eye). BlueMoonset (talk) 04:19, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset and Akira CA: Thank you both for bearing with me. I'm happy to pass the article now; congratulations Akira, and great work. I hope to see the article nominated for FAC at some point in the future. Bobbychan193 (talk) 08:46, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
