Hello, I'm Akakievich. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Political linguistics, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Akakievich (talk) 14:13, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Akakievich,
- Thank you for giving me a notice. My name is Xing Yu. The entry Political Linguistics in Misplaced Pages cites one of my books four times. But English is not well written in that entry. I tried to correct the English writing. If I give the citation as a source, that source will be my book. This citation will be deleted because the editor is not allowed to be the author of the book appearing in the section of reference books.
- I believe that there is only one systematical theory in the field of political linguistics. That theory is created by me. But I have no way to disseminate that theory. I was surprised to find in March this year that this entry political linguistics cited one of my books four times. I was happy to see it, but I believe that the editor who wrote this entry did not fully reflect the idea generated by me in my books. The editor only cited one of my two books. I wrote two books which are companion books. These two books jointly build a theory that can serve as a basis for the building of the branch of learning Political Linguistics.
- These two books are:
- Language and State: An Inquiry into the Progress of Civilization, First Edition or Second Edition
- Language and State: A Theory of the Progress of Civilization, First Edition or Second Edition
- Can you take a look at my books and add some contents to this entry if you are interested in this entry?
- Thank you!
