Song Wan (poet) edit
- ...
that Song Wan's wife saw an old woman squirting?
Created by Kingoflettuce (talk). Self-nominated at 14:18, 17 February 2016 (UTC).
Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. QPQ is done. No copyvio found. However, the hook fails to differentiate between fact (the poet) and fiction (story about his wife), which is not allowed (the article itself is fine). A different hook is needed. -Zanhe (talk) 19:44, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yeep thanks.
ALT1: ... that in a fictitious short story by Pu Songling, Song Wan's wife sees an old woman squirting?Kingoflettuce (talk) 23:12, 18 February 2016 (UTC)- I would personally prefer to see a hook about his being a well known poet, or his death when threatened by rebel advances. The quirky ALT1 is acceptable if you really prefer it, but I cannot verify the fact in the source. The book cited in the article does not have a page 17 (it begins at p. 2057). It does have a page xvii, but there's no mention of Song Wan or his wife on that page. -Zanhe (talk) 17:57, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- Fixed. Muddled up the copying-and-pasting of previous SFN refs. Thanks! Kingoflettuce (talk) 05:52, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing the ref, but the Liaozhai story is actually about Song's mother, not his wife, and it's obviously made up and has little to do with Song Wan. I'd still prefer a hook more directly related to his real life. -Zanhe (talk) 19:07, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- Mother?? Oh dear did I write wife >.< I can't even read English! I would prefer that too but a squirting hook is quite nice! ALT2: ... that Chinese poet Song Wan was so scared of the rebels that he died of fright? Kingoflettuce (talk) 05:49, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
ALT2 is verified and good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 19:53, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Kingoflettuce: could you please link this page in other articles so it won't be an orphan? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:03, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Done, very simple. Kingoflettuce (talk) 02:37, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
