Pass—new enough, just long enough, QPQ done, sourced with RS citations and well written; Earwig says copyvio-free. Hook is interesting (I do not care for medicine but the hook intrigued me). Actually, the article is quite fascinating—short but sweet and I loved reading it! I noticed that you provided no reference for this DYK, but the relevant text is cited in the article. Source verifies text, can be read on Google Books here, p. 53. 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 01:33, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

- Nice work on the changes! Happy now to pass it for GA status. Congrats on this short but sweet GA! Keep up the work. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 21:13, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
Copyvio edit
Earwig says good to go.
Prose edit
- In the first efn note, is there a reason "Materia Medica" is not italicised in Newly Revised Materia Medica?
- Materia Medica is italicised by default and it seems that conventionally when a usually italicised phrase is in an intalicised title, you'd un-italicise it. Certainly that's the case in the sources I've read, but I wonder if our style guides differ on this KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. Should be fine in that case. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 21:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- "headed by editor-in-chief Su Jing" – use the ill template as you do so later in the article.
- Done KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- I basically have to obligatorily ask given how short it is—can Contents be expanded at all? For instance, are there any other particularly notable drugs given in any of the sources?
- The difficulty is the original text and illustrations are lost. I've extracted as much as I can from the sources - I'd daresay our entry is one of the most substantial ones on the topic that you can find anywhere on the Web KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- From the spotchecks I did I would honestly say I agree. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 21:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- "because of an "imperial taboo"." – does the source say anything else about this/can more context be given for readers?
- I would like to know too! However the source doesn't say more. Buell (2017) similarly notes that his name was changed due to a "naming taboo" but doesn't elaborate. KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- That is unfortunate. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 21:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Are there any freely-licensed images of the Xinxiu bencao? Would be fascinating to see what it looks like.
- Can't find any at the moment, unfortunately - besides it would be images of the copy since the original has been lost for quite some time KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Fair point. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 21:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Recommend adding Template:Use X English
- Done. Thanks for the comments! KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
