  • Interesting article. Article is new enough (created on 17 November). Long enough (3571). However there are large sections of uncited content such as the 1st paragraph in "early life", last sentence of 2nd paragraph of "Northern Chinese bandit", and 2nd paragraph of "Military activities. This will need to be sorted before I can proceed with the rest of the review. Cowlibob (talk) 22:10, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
@Roniius: Courtesy ping for the nominator to return to this nomination. Cowlibob (talk) 12:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
@Cowlibob: I have addressed the reference problem. Roniius (talk) 01:28, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
@Roniius: Thanks for adding the refs. However the last three sentences in the popular culture section are unreferenced. Also what does horse criminal mean? Do you mean that he stole horses or that he was a bandit who rode horses when he was stealing?Cowlibob (talk) 17:19, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
@Cowlibob: Hi - Horse Criminal is a bad translation I made of Chinese mazei, which is commonly translated in English historical communities as Mounted Bandit. I will find references for the popular culture section.
@Roniius: This article requires significant copyediting which I'm happy to help with as long you could provide some clarifications on the article based on the references.
  • Which reference supports his date of birth and date of death?
  • Which reference supports his pseudonym of Xiang Lang and courtesy name of Senzan Koji?
  • Which reference supports his birthplace and his admiration of Yasumasa?
  • What does investigation mean in this sentence? "At the age of 17, Kohinata had the choice to go to China, Tibet, and Germany for an investigation, so he chose to go to China."
  • Was he known as "Gun Against Evil - the Little White Dragon" or just as Little White Dragon?

  • @Roniius: are you going to attend to this? --evrik (talk) 04:06, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
  • The nominator continues to edit on Wikipedia but has not answered several pings nor edited the article since December 13. The article is presently tagged for multiple issues. Closing this nomination as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 18:35, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
