This article uses Wikipedia:Parenthetical referencing. No false scare tags untruly claiming the lack of in-line references are desirable. Thank you, article curators. Dcattell (talk) 23:44, 8 October 2018 (UTC)Reply


Inline citations, again edit

There is no useful purpose to citing this article as "lacking sufficient references".

Per:

References inline include:

  • Yang 2005, 160-162;
  • Hawkes, 1985 (2011): 94-95, 135-136, 323;
  • Christie 1968, 74;
  • Yang 2005, 160;

etc.

Referring to following reliable references (certainly it would be hard to find better than Hawkes and Yang).

  • Christie, Anthony (1968). Chinese Mythology. Feltham: Hamlyn Publishing. ISBN 0600006379.
  • Hawkes, David, translation, introduction, and notes (2011 [1985]). Qu Yuan et al., The Songs of the South: An Ancient Chinese Anthology of Poems by Qu Yuan and Other Poets. London: Penguin Books. ISBN 978-0-14-044375-2
  • Yang, Lihui, et al. (2005). Handbook of Chinese Mythology. New York: Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-19-533263-6

I know not every point is not cited, however over-all the article seems to have sufficient references. Look it up! Dcattell (talk) 20:23, 3 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
