thread_title:  Adding more information to article 

message: Hello, to anyone interested, I'm going to start trying to improve this article. Some orders of business include: removing the "Example Work" section, adding a photograph of Hu, etc. Regarding a photo, I've found what I think is a very good portrait of him, however I am as of yet unable to find its copyright status. It is at:  and is owned by The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library . TheSlowLife (talk) 00:57, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improving this article 

message: Something to think about: Hu Shi is the proper Hanyu Pinyin but when Hu was in the USA he went by Hu Shih. So he seems to have chosen Hu Shih to represent his name in the English language. TheSlowLife (talk) 01:07, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hu Shi vs. Hu Shih 

message: Here's the "Sample work" I removed from the main article. I don't think it's important, but a reference to a website that contains this could be useful. Since this is also in the history, if someone would rather have this deleted from the talk page, feel free.
:"Don't You Forget"
:(English translation of a poem by Hu, published in New Youth magazine, China 1915-1926, vol.5 no.3.)
:My son,
:I have taught you to love this country for twenty years,
:But how can one love such a country!
:Don't you forget:
:It's our country's soldiers,
:That made your Aunt suicide in shame,
:And did the same to Ah Hsing,
:And to your wife,
:And shot Kao Sheng to death!
:Don't you forget:
:Who cut off your finger,
:Who beat your father to a mess like this!
:Who burned this village?
:Oh, no! The fire is coming!
:Go, for your own sake! Don't die with me!
:Wait!
:Don't you forget:
:Your dying father only wished this country occupied,
:By the Cossacks,
:Or the Prussians,
:Anyone!
:Any life ever worse than -- this !?
:Original poem: ""
:I agree this excerpt was too long. It would fit better in wikiquote. In the article, I added a smaller except (2 stanzas) to illustrate his vernacular poetry and writing rules. GiuseppeMassimo (talk) 16:58, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sample work 

message: The article is titled Hu Shih, but a contributor went through and changed all spellings to Hu Shi, making the text of the article inconsistent with its title. A complete change of spelling must go with a change in title. Please discuss this change on the talk page before you do it.  Also note that most of the English language references use the spelling Hu Shih.  These cannot be changed! The spelling Hu Shih is a publication fact, and cannot be subjected to post facto removal.

thread_title:  Hu Shih vs. Hu Shi again 

message: Hu Shih himself translated [pragmatism] into Chinese as simplified Chinese: 实验主义; traditional Chinese: 實驗主義; pinyin: shíyànzhǔyì ... 
 The second translation as simplified Chinese: 实用主义; traditional Chinese: 實用主義; pinyin: shíyòngzhǔyì was crafted long after pragmatism became popular ...
Sorry but I don't see any difference in the Chines characters here. --Zenwort 09:30, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

I just added a huge section about Hu's philosophical and political thoughts. The previous section on Pragmatism has emerged into the new philosophy section.

thread_title:  Major Change on Hu's Philosophy and Political Views 

message: Hello everyone , I have just made some minor change in the article, I have stated more clear that the Chinese writing of Hu Shih's name in both simplified Chinese and tradition Chinese writing. Also, I have said that Hu Shih was also a famous thinker in old China. Hope that helpful.Yc19990311 (talk) 04:10, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor change in introduction 

message: I cleaned up the wording but the content is unclear. What is meant by “falling back in time”? Does it mean to fall behind? And if only dead people can maintain their reputations, then maybe falling behind the current trends is not a big problem; maybe it is an asset. If you know what the dispute with Zhang was actually about, please fix this poorly written section. Quchangsha (talk) 22:05, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hu Shih vs. Zhang 

message: As a new editor, I didn't want to do too much to the substance of this section; I think it has a lot of fundamental issues, namely a lack of objectivity and missing sources and hyperlinks to other relevant articles.  It also doesn't include much detail about what the movement actually entailed.  But these issues are out of my depth.
However, I did take it upon myself to edit for grammar and clarity, cleaning up sentence fragments and filling in some gaps in the original author's intention with my (admittedly limited) knowledge of Hu Shih's life.  Seeing as it isn't already a source, someone with more familiarity with site guidelines might consider citing Reminiscences of Hu Shih: Oral History, 1958.  Having looked over it myself for a class, it seems to provide a lot of support, particularly for statements in this section about Hu Shih's perspective of it.  
I know I haven't fixed the section entirely (thus, the remaining template message), but I hope my grammatical rewrite sparks further discussion in the article of this aspect of Hu Shih's life and work. HelpfulStrangerCL (talk) 20:53, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Basic information to add to this article: a few words explaining exactly what "the famous Jiaxu manuscript" (甲戌本; Jiǎxū běn) is, since we don't yet have a Wikipedia article about this subject. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:07, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  To add to article 

message: The lead section/introduction of this article is, as of the time of writing, a slopping mess. It generally fails to produce an adequate summary of Hu Shih's life, achievements nor influence (refer to WP:LEAD). For a figure of this magnitude of importance major changes needs to made ASAP.
