I'll review this article shortly.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC) Please let me offer an apology for the delay of the review - RL obligations piled up quickly.

• No disambiguation links found (no action required)
• Checklinks reports all external links are in order (no action required)
• There are a couple of duplicate links which should be removed per WP:OVERLINK. Those are: Trebuchet and Coup d'état
  • Now fixed.--Khanate General ☪ talk ^{project mongol conquests} 08:43, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
• All images are properly licenced and have appropriate captions (no action required)
• Image File:China 11b.jpg links to itself as a source. I assume the map may be found in a book someplace - could you indicate such a source?
  • Now fixed.--Khanate General ☪ talk ^{project mongol conquests} 09:06, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
• Prose referencing appears to be in order.
• In "The boundary between the two states was established along the Huai River, a river north of the Yangtze." I trust "a river north" would be better off replaced by "running north" (or something along those lines) to avoid repetition of "river", especially with the indefinite article - since it is already identified as the Huai River.
  • Now fixed.--Khanate General ☪ talk ^{project mongol conquests} 08:43, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
• I would prefer summing up "Rise of Emperor Hailing" subsection since it is a part of an already sizable background section surpassing the topic of the article by far, and there already is an article on the emperor. It is no dealbreaker here, but I'd strongly suggest this course of action.
  • Most of it is about preparations for the war and not the personal biography of Hailing. I renamed the header.--Khanate General ☪ talk ^{project mongol conquests} 08:55, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
• Where does the loss of "100-4,000 soldiers" presented in the infobox come from? I did not find it in the prose and it lacks a reference.
  • Now fixed.--Khanate General ☪ talk ^{project mongol conquests} 08:43, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
• The prose does not specify (nor reference) Hailingwang as commander. Please address this.
  • Now fixed. Hailing appointed himself head of the army expanded to Hailing appointed himself head of the army and had personal command over the Jurchen forces.

Nice work. There are few matters to address before the nomination is passed. Cheers--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:28, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

All clear! Congrats--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:01, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
