Can someone who speaks English well and knows who this person is review and rewrite this?[edit]

Thanks. --Justice for All 08:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As per your request I have rewritten the entire article and referenced what I could (although most of the references are in Chinese -- sorry, there's not much about her in English). I also removed the biography section completely, because what was there previously was just a restatement of what was already written in the lead (albeit in a far less encyclopedic tone). I do think we should have a biography section, though, so i left a {{sectstub}} in. Hopefully something who knows something about her life can fill it in. There's bound to be information on-line, but unfortunately the average Chinese person seems to be more concerned with her blood type than where she grew up, etc. Anyway, cheers... 70.132.14.22 07:28, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of plagiarized content[edit]

I removed everything in the biography section because it was plagiarized from this website (in this edit...notice that the website is from 17 March 2006 and the edit that inserted this content was on 1 September 2008). —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 07:05, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

rated no 9 in Chinese domestic blog ranking in 2011 comment removed[edit]

In the second paragraph of the lede, we mention her 2006 blog ranking -- specifically, it was number 1, worldwide, by Technorati's measure. Now, 2006 was a few years ago and some editors apparently feel that we should have her 2011 numbers there also. This is misguided. Here's why.

Xu Jing Lei is very famous in China, but she's not (yet?) famous outside of China, particularly not in the west, where most en readers hail from. Because of this, in 2006, there was a certain amount of media buzz in the west about how an "unknown" Chinese actress had the most popular blog in the world. It was important because it implied a few things: one, that there were a growing number of Chinese on the internet with the ability to affect global trends and rankings, and two, that there were people out there who were arguably incredibly popular and influential that most people living in the western bubble had never even heard of.

When I wrote most of this article (as an anon) initially the reason I included the 2006 Technorati numbers was because they helped establish her notability globally, and because it got substantial media coverage at the time.

By contrast, her sina.com domestic Chinese rankings don't say much. First off, they're domestic rankings, not global rankings. Second, I very much doubt that sina.com today and Technorati in 2006 rank blogs on the same metric -- which means that "no 9 in 2011" and "no 1 in 2006" would not be comparable numbers even if there weren't the "domestic vs global" problem.

Furthermore, the fact that she held the number 1 spot in 2006 does not in any way imply that she's going to hold that spot forever, or even for all of 2006 (that's why the wording in the article is mid-2006 and not just 2006). So attempting to "update" the numbers is misguided here anyway. The point is that her being number 1 in 2006 is what's notable, not her blog rank by itself. Updated numbers do not tell us anything special.

The truth is that Technorati, which was briefly heralded as the next big thing in the mid-2000s, is now mostly forgotten. The whole bit is really only notable in context to establish that she's very well known, so well known that at one point she had the most popular blog in the world. Emphasis on at one point.
