My favourite things to do on the Encyclopedia are to add portals to pages and other WikiGnome antics to assist in facilitating sending people down the Wiki-wormhole. I also enjoy reverting vandalism, adding to pages, and other acts that slowly add and improve to the wealth of knowledge on Wikipedia!

On my recent contributions to Great Chinese Famine[edit]

Hello,

I would like to start a discussion with you about my recent edition on the page of Great Chinese Famine. More specifically on the description of this item. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine#/media/File:People's_commune_canteen.jpg

I have read the characters on the walls in this photo and the phrase "Eat free, work hard." it was originally captioned with does not reflect what it was meant by the characters on the wall. A more accurate translation would be to mean that the workers(farmers) works for free by only eating basic food and take no personal gain, and that they should focus on farming(work). This is from my knowledge of Chinese (which is my mother tongue).

I do not know what reference the original editor had when he/she wrote the caption, but it is not reflective of what is written on the wall.

Please let me know of your opinions.
