Many of the citations might be retained, but it's hard to say.  It depends on what purpose the citations serve.  I would actually have you show a few paragraphs to Dr. Jensen; he'll have a better idea of what really needs to be supported with a citation. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 18:32, 23 October 2007 (CDT)

Chumbun, I see what happened now: Dr. Jensen suggested that you write about Korea and Japan, and started a page for you. Then you uploaded a giant Wikipedia article. Well, that's really not going to work so well. Unless you possess the ability (which would be surprising in any teenager) to review and rewrite that huge amount of material, it would be best that you simply start over. We're really not so much interested in simply replicating Wikipedia here. If you really want to use the Wikipedia material, then I would recommend that you import it one section at a time.

Oh, if that is the case, sure. In fact, I was attempting to rewrite the entire article - almost like from scratch, but I still need my previous work to avoid redoing all that amount of research. You see all the sections that are heavily cited? I wrote them.
