This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 20 January 2022 and 3 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Jass Tong (article contribs).
This article, while quite well-written and in most places well-cited, has two major defects. The 'Origin and history' chapter has 'main' links to History of tea and History of tea in China (not quite sure one can have 2 main links, surely the second one is a subset of the first, too); while the 'Tea culture' chapter has a 'main' link called Tea culture.
In both cases, the correct result per policy is for the chapter to summarize the article at the other end of the 'main' link briefly, in a paragraph or two, citing the major sources of the 'main' article. What is not supposed to happen is for the chapter to extend for hundreds of words (almost 2000 words for the History, over 800 for Tea culture), overlapping widely with the 'main' article.
We should accordingly cut down both sections to comply with policy, allowing the focus of the article to be on Tea itself, with modest main-linked sections on History and Culture. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
