Locations
Errors
Location is not good enough, because it requires a “city”, but people can input a province and select it, such as “Shandong”. There is also a problem about repeated names, for example, “Jinan (Shandong)” and “Jinan Shi (Shandong Sheng)”; “Paris (Île-de-France, France)”, “Paris (Paris, France)”, “Paris 02 (Île-de-France, France)” and “Paris 08 (Île-de-France, France)”.
country/region/city
I think it is clear to me that how "country", "region", "city" can be changed. They should be "country or territory" (it is still not satisfying, because it is not covering all common types of territory), "first-level administrative division", "city". Usual sites don't write like this, I think it's because words are long and few people concern about it.
I have to admit that I was coufused by those political terms. Now I have to know about what they mean and how they can be used.
=disputed countries
The old lists need to be changed, so there are two problems, one is about disputed countries. Which are to be "recognized"? I see Taiwan, Palestine, Western Sahara are widely accepted, and some other are not. The other problem is how do cities in disputed territories belong to. Maybe it can be selected in both countries. I really want to ask people in these area about their opinions.

Translation Team
it is hard to translate accurately if it doesn’t show the context. I think there can be a link to the page in each sentence. There are also “finished” sentences in need of correction. When possible I can add a link to the page. I should set the pages as 'unfinished' then
Chat room
Chat room sometimes is not secure, according to Firefox, because it sometimes directs to http:// address instead of https://. When I search Mibbit with Duckduckgo and Yahoo UK, the result is its http:// page. That’s a reason for why I prefer KiwiIRC.
Forum
There is a “My Forum”, but "Forum” is not shown on top bar. Also, there is a “My Meetings”, in fact it can be easy to understand if it is called “My Events”. Maybe “Meetings” is more precise than “Events”.
Videos
Threads of Videos, Forum, etc. are in chronological order of last updates, so there should be the dates of last update instead of dates of being created.
friends
In user’s profiles, there is an “Add friend” button, which is better to be shown as text “You are already friends!” if so. And list of friends in profile should be placed under the main content, in case there are a lot of friends and it makes a large blank in the page.
In “My Friends”, order of the list should be last logged in. Users should be marked “inactive” if not log in for a month, so it will be easy to know by others.
Misc
In Corrections and Videos, after selecting a language, there is also a “select a language” in the new page, and more languages can be selected there. People may ask what it means to have a restriction firstly. I think it’s to be convenient.
In Videos, options of “Select a video website” is somehow restricted. And the format is different from Corrections and Questions. It makes me notice “Submit” button, which are in a frame and there are additional buttons to submit in Corrections, Questions, Articles and Help.
In Articles, after clicking “New article”, It seems to be writing an article of Help.
In Corrections and Questions, words below “Please respect our submission rules”, “How to ask a good question” are too small. It can be not comfortable for old people.
Chat softwares
“Chat softwares” in profiles should be updated. Not many people use AIM and ICQ now, there are new products in fashion, not only “chat software” but also “social media” now. There should be a list of them to select from. And, “software” is an uncountable noun.
There are so many explanations written capitalized, but as far as I know, some people are not accustomed to this if their mother tongues are not in Latin Script.
