Yuan Xian edit

Created by Zanhe (talk). Self nominated at 06:35, 27 November 2014 (UTC).

  • Article is new from 26.11., long enough (1,800 prose ch.), based on excellent sources and without obvious grammar issues, close paraphrasing etc. Slight POV issue was handled by me, and now the article is fully NPOV. The hook is good, neutral, short enough and fact-checked by me in two external sources. Self-nominator did his QPQ. Good to go.AddMore (talk) 11:37, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  • The hook uses so many foreign words that I find it obscure rather than hooky. Yoninah (talk) 22:29, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
@AddMore and Yoninah: to address Yoninah's concern, I propose ALT1, which removed the "Shiji" part from the hook, and ALT2, a new and more plain one. Please take a look. -Zanhe (talk) 06:20, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Thank you, ALT1 is much hookier! Hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 10:00, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
