Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point

Cleanup Co-ordination

This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:

the article needs formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English.
the article has multiple overlapping problems.
the article is very short and might need expanding, removal or merging with a broader article

For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.

What does "Relevant Year" mean?

In the "List of notable missing topics", it's ambiguous what does "relevant year" mean. For some of the listed missing topics, it seems clear that the year refers to the time when those incidents took place, but for many others, this does not match up. Some of the listed missing topics are not even events, which means they intrinsically do not have a date. Should we just delete the "relevant year" column? Or, is there a clearer definition of that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jordanblocker (talk • contribs) 02:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the section altogether. It was original research. --MarioGom (talk) 16:50, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Major rewrite

I have applied a major rewrite to the article ([1]). It is now sourced, exclusively, to secondary sources. I removed all material that was unreferenced or that contained references to Baidu Baike (WP:PRIMARY), as well as any original research. Sections on censorship and copyright infringement are, hopefully, more clear and respecting due weight. --MarioGom (talk) 15:56, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Potential source

[2] probably one of the most comprehensive writings about Baidu Baike in both English and Chinese, though as an apparent self-published blog (though by an academic), it may be more useful for the sources it cites than the article itself. Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:44, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

https://baike.baidu.com/reference/ = website archiving service ?

Per WP:BAIDUBAIKE, (written in 2020): The Baidu Baike domain also includes a website archiving service (baike.baidu.com/reference), and https://www.google.com/search?q=site:baike.baidu.com/reference seems to confirm this. I'm unable to find further info about it. RememberOrwell (talk) 10:52, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I already added this to the history section over 12 hours before you made this post using the very same SCMP source. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:16, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I do not think BaiduWiki is separately notable from Baidu Baike. There has been no coverage of BaiduWiki except noting the fact it launched. It can be entirely covered in this article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:19, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer BaiduWiki to remain a separated article. The reasons include:

The claim "There has been no coverage of BaiduWiki except noting the fact it launched." is not true. In addition to the launch, there is information on its growth after the launch (e.g., "By February, 2026, the numbers of articles on BaiduWiki already passed one million."). The two sections of "Features" and "Debate" also presents information beyond the "launch".
The multilingual BaiduWiki is very different from the traditional monolingual Baidu Baike.
BaiduWiki can still be notable even if regarded as the international version of Baidu Baike, as we have separated articles on Wikipedia as well as Wikipedia English, Wikipedia Chinese, etc. As a matter of fact, even on Baidu Baike, you can find its homepage (https://baike.baidu.com/#home) and a separated page for BaiduWiki (URL: https://baike.baidu.com/item/BaiduWiki?fromModule=lemma_search-box).
On BaiduWiki, we can also find separated articles on itself (URL: https://baike.baidu.com/en/item/BaiduWiki/1002604) and Baidu Baike (https://baike.baidu.com/en/item/Baidu%20baike/978309).
It has been less than a month since BaiduWiki was launched. More information will be available along with its development, which will help us to improve page BaiduWiki.

By the way, BaiduWiki has passed an official review after improvement based on suggestions by user:Mariamnei. Thank you all. Ctxz2323 (talk) 02:47, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Ctxz2323 and @Hemiauchenia - The current version is better than the original article that I first reviewed, so I was willing to say that it passes notability per WP:GNG because of several independent sources mentioned in the article and mark it as reviewed. That being said, I have no opinion if it should be a stand alone article and we'll see what happens in this discussion.

The fact that more information may be available in the future is irrelevant to the discussion of if it is currently notable as a stand alone article. Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 12:01, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reminding. I have added contents in the History section, especially on the events happening after BaiduWiki's launch. Ctxz2323 (talk) 01:15, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

BaiduWiki has its own Logo. That may be another reason for a separated wiki page. Ctxz2323 (talk) 07:58, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

We need at least 3 articles for Baidu Baike now

The first sentence on page Baidu Baike "Baidu Baike (/ˈbaɪduː ˈbaɪkə/; Chinese: 百度百科; pinyin: Bǎidù Bǎikē; lit. 'Baidu Encyclopedia', also known as BaiduWiki internationally) is a semi-regulated Chinese-language collaborative online encyclopedia owned by the Chinese technology company Baidu." is wrong! Because BaiduWiki is multilingual, not Chinese monolingual.

In addition to its traditional Chinese version, Baidu Baike has recently launched its international multilingual version BaiduWiki. Accordingly, we now needs 3 separated pages for

Baidu Baike Chinese for the traditional Chinese version
BaiduWiki for the international multilingual version, may develop into one page per language in the future
Baidu Baike for the Baike family, linking to different language versions,

just like what happened to Wikipedia where we have pages Wikipedia, Wikipedia English, Wikipedia Chinese, etc. Ctxz2323 (talk) 03:46, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
