Request seriously review for non-english article

Open Folyd opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

I didn't found any principle of TWIR regard to the contribution content. Since I often see some non-English articles, I believe the TWIR is open to all languages around the world. I sincerely appreciate this. However, I don't know whether we have native speakers in the team to take seriously review those non-English articles. If not yet, I propose we should.

As a native speaker of Chinese, I'm pretty disappointed with the recent Chinese articles in the TWIR, especially for a website called budshome.com (mostly from those PRs). Here are my reasons:

  • budshome.com is a kind of SEO website which is full of a lot of ads and promotion links. Here is the google site search result.
  • The quality of articles from budshome.com is quite bad. Mostly are the beginner or introductory level. (I'm not opposed to the beginner-level articles, I'm opposed to those SEO sites with low-quality articles.)
  • The author submits his articles to TWIR seems like aimed to boost the traffic of his websites. Clearly, an utilitarian.

Maybe TWIR needs some Chinese-Readers to help pick articles. I am a volunteer.

@MATRIXKOO I would welcome your help! Mind if I tag you on the PRs for Chinese language articles?

Sounds good!

@Folyd @nellshamrell I had removed all ads from blog.budshome.com, and only for walkthroughs section.

Sure, I accept all your decisions.
