  • You could make a good tongue twister with these two dukes. Names alone make these interesting. However, is a bit short by my count (1355 chars.). His Jiao counterpart looks to be just over the limit. Need another two or three sentences (or more!) in the first article to meet the requirements. The Interior (Talk) 21:04, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review. Just added a new section on the conquest of the Red Di and expanded the Battle of An section. It's now almost twice as long as before. --Zanhe (talk) 07:03, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Could you add some more detail to the citations 2 and 3 in Jing of Jin (Ju), such as the Year and paragraph? They're very big pages. The Interior (Talk) 05:02, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Just added the chapter numbers to the refs. The easiest way to locate the relevant paragraphs is to search for terms like "Red Di" and "Lushi" within the page. --Zanhe (talk) 06:18, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Okay, looking good, like the expansion. Still need a bit more detail in those refs if you are using the annotations given in the U. Virginia document. The annotator, Anne Kinney, and the publisher need to be added to the citation. It's a complicated cite, as it is an ancient work with new annotations, but I have confidence you can get it into a template somehow. Otherwise, this looks ready to pass.

  • I believe the annotation was done by the translator James Legge. Anne Kinney seems to be the person maintaining the web site. I've added the translator and publisher (Univ. of Virginia) to the refs. --Zanhe (talk) 04:18, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Excellent, thank you. Hook is referenced, both articles meet requirements, English refs spot-checked for paraphrasing. Keep these ancient Chinese history articles coming, this subject area is undercovered on enwp. The Interior (Talk) 14:59, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
