Hello everyone, my name is Rony and I am currently enrolled in a medical humanities class in which we will use wikipedia as a platform to learn about and contribute to some medical related issues.

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Ronyaguilar, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review for AIDS Article[edit]

Peer review of Slava Mogutin edits:

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

The information is relevant and adds to the history of Slava Mogutin.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

The edits appear to be neutral. No heavy biases evident.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The edits seem pretty neutral, so no over- or underrepresented viewpoints.

Check the citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

The added citation for "Red Scare" doesn't appear to work. The one under "Interviews" does work, but is titled incorrectly as "1". Also the "Red Scare" reference looks to be duplicated (1 and 4 are the same). You could just change your added citation and remove the duplicate so that the reference works.

Is each fact supported by an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

Possibly missing some references in the "Life in Russia" section regarding his partner Robert Filippini. Reference in "Exile in New York" explaining that his "asylum to the US became the first to be granted based on homophobic prosecution" is missing. Reference missing regarding his name change to Slava. I would add the citations to the end of the sentences where information was updated to support these additions.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that should be added?

Could add more under "Contemporary Exhibitions" if there were new exhibits since 2014, but otherwise, information seems to be up to date.

Thank you for the peer review! I see where I need to make improvements to the article and where I need to change or add somethings. It was very helpful and now I will get to work on that.

Thanks again! Ronyaguilar (talk) 02:11, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Final plague article draft[edit]

This is the new version of the article that me and Marcus worked on

Kongsi (Chinese: 公司; pinyin: gōngsī; Wade–Giles: kung-ssu; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: kong-si) is a Chinese term meaning "company". However, the word has acquired other meanings under different historical contexts.^[1]^[2] Kongsi were most commonly known as Chinese social organizations or partnerships, but the term was also used for various Chinese institutions. Amongst overseas Chinese, the word kongsi was applied to reference both clan organizations, whose members shared a common descent, and social clubs, for Chinese immigrants originating from the same province. After the 19th century, these organizations came to be known as as hui guan (會館, literally meaning "meeting hall").

Southeast Asia[edit]

In Southeast Asia, the kongsi republics were made up of Hakka Chinese mining communities that united into political entities that functioned as self-governing states.^[3] By the mid-nineteenth century, the kongsi republics controlled most of western Borneo. The three largest kongsi republics were the Lanfang Republic, the Heshun Republic (Fosjoen), and the Santiaogou Federation (Samtiaokioe).^[4]

Functions of the Kongsi system[edit]

The system of kongsi was utilized by Cantonese throughout the diaspora to overcome economic difficulty, social ostracism, and oppression.^{[citation needed]} In today's Cantonese communities throughout the world, this approach has been adapted to the modern environment, including political and legal factors.^{[citation needed]} The kongsi is similar to modern business partnerships, but also draws on a deeper spirit of cooperation and consideration of mutual welfare. It is believed by some that the development and thriving of Cantonese communities worldwide are the direct result of the kongsi concept.^{[citation needed]} A vast number of Cantonese-run firms and businesses that were born as kongsi ended up as multinational conglomerates.
