  • Reviewer hasn't finished in 11 days, I'll take this review.
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited:   - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting:  
  • Other problems:   - I'd leave the title untranslated; also, I'd use a different, more hooky translation (Master of the Doctrine of Subduing Women), and a note that it is a translation. As an ALT0a: That Ming dynasty novella Cu hulu was written under a pseudonym that might translate to "Master of the Doctrine of Subduing Women"?
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Open to workshopping the hook–there are other alts we can use. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 00:44, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

oops, i have to ping people? @Kingoflettuce: theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 01:12, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
seems less "fun" if we included the "under a pseudonym that might translate..." bit, and the translation has a nicer ring than the original title. But I think it's your call as the reviewer! Cheers, Kingoflettuce (talk) 07:12, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Kingoflettuce: sorry about the delay, I forgot to watch this page. How about:
ALT0b: ... that the Ming dynasty novella The Jealous Wife might have been written by the "Master of the Doctrine of Subduing Women"?
seems like a good balance between brevity/hookiness and accuracy to me. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 08:01, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
