Move proposal

edit
  • Move to Gourd mouth organ. All of the gourd mouth organs in South, East, and Southeast Asia can be discussed without using a Chinese title that is inapplicable to all of the non-Chinese instruments. "Hulusheng" is itself a generic term, not referring to any specific instrument but instead being the Chinese term meaning "gourd mouth organ." Badagnani 22:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Note: I've restored the original hooks, which should be left in place, and labeled the new hook ALT3. Desertarun, does ALT3 work? I'm concerned about the "third millennium B.C." mention, since the article says "believed to be" and then goes on to note that the earliest recorded mention is 1100 B.C.

  • I've checked the hook refs and I'm finding it tricky. Sachs says "THE MOUTH ORGAN (Chinese shêng, Japanese shô) was originally made with a gourd. Today the gourd is replaced by a piece of wood cut in the same" and later "In China the mouth organ is said to have been invented by Emperor Nyu-kwa in the third millennium B.C. as an imitation of the bird Phoenix" and "In the most highly developed form of the raft-shaped mouth organ, in Middle and South Laos, the two rafts, sometimes as tall as twelve feet, are laid on top of each other and this double raft pierces through an elongated, wooden windchest". Sachs is discussing mouth organs not specifically gourd mouth organs, making me wonder if these refs are applicable or not. I don't know? Desertarun (talk) 19:07, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Alt4... that the gourd mouth organ is said to have been created in the third millennium B.C. as a likeness of the Phoenix?

Review The article is new enough, long enough, QPQ is not required, copyvio is clear apart from quotes and simple descriptions of the organ which are unavoidable. The picture is public domain. I've struck the other Alts because I can't verify them. I've added Alt4 myself which is based upon the source Sachs. The source Sachs is being used in the article without page numbers, I personally can let that go but it would be up to the next reviewer to decide on that and Alt4.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: None required.

Overall:   Needs some light copyediting, and as Desertarun said above, the citations need page numbers ideally, but this reviewer considers neither of these obstacles to DYK. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:14, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Changed wikilink to fenghuang as Phoenix (mythology) is about the creature of Western myth. The two are conflated all the time, though, so either wikilink is fine. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 18:11, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
