https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedonig This Wiki entry focuses on the life events of Mao, including his backgrounds, his role in establishing and governing the People’s Republic of China, and his interactions and influence abroad. Yet, in the “Writing and Calligraphy section”, only his works are listed without much explanation. Although hyperlinks to each work is provided, it might be helpful to include some general information on Mao’s philosophical enterprises: including what Mao seeks to achieve through his philosophical writings, what framework he adopts in his works, and, if there is any, some underlying themes that unite his writing. These could help readers form a general understanding of Mao’s intellectual side before jumping specifically into individual works, as well as linking his philosophical writings to his life events.[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liang_Shuming This Wiki entry provides a quite comprehensive account of Liang’s life and his main Philosophical thoughts. Despite the scope, I posit that certain Liang’s claims in the entry could be complements with Liang’s argument, so that the audience might gain a better understanding and sympathetically resonate with Liang’s idea. For example, the article indicates that “the West held the first orientation, while China held the second and India held the third.” Alitto’s deconstruction of Liang’s reasoning could be added.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_philosophy#Concepts_within_Chinese_philosophy This page consists of a survey of major Chinese philosophically schools of thoughts from the Warring State period to the modern period. Yet, there is little to none discussions on the category of “Chinese Philosophy” itself. This could create a misconception that some scholars might seek to oppose. Steben and Makeham’s discourse on the creation of the notion of Chinese Philosophy might be helpful. [3]

The greatest opportunity is that the entry will face a large audience. They will read the entries, and they will potentially inform them of their understanding of the subject. The entries might be able to contribute to the interest and learning of modern Chinese philosophy. However, this is also the challenge: one ought to be responsible for their writing as they will make an influence on people's perception of the issue. Also, given the nature of Wikipedia entry, the writing should be kept concise, precise, and accessible. Grandiloquent words should be avoided. At last, as Wikipedia is not a place to conduct primary research, it would not be appropriate to include opinions, especially personal opinions, that are not supported by existing sources.
