Chinoiserie[edit]

The long footnote on the development of chinoiserie from the 17th century might be better at that article.--Wetman (talk) 02:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed[edit]

Per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ItsLassieTime‎, the offline sources used in this article need be verified to ensure they both exist and to verify they say what is claimed. Sockpuppet who created the article has long history of being untruthful, and are known for their almost exclusive use of offline resources that would generally just be taken on good faith. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 06:28, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've found at least one source that does verify the existence of the piece ([1]), and that its author is as claimed. Another seems to largely confirm its plot ([2]). Given this verification, I'm willing to take responsibility here. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 06:35, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alrighty. The sock has been blocked, so will leave to you to decide what to do with the current GAN as they will be unable to respond (unless they make more socks) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 06:39, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave that part to (legitimate) good article reviewers. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 07:04, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a separate question, would you have any objection to removing the dispute tag, given that it does seem that this is verifiable? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 07:07, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer it remain tagged until all claimed sources are verified. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 15:08, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the controversy over the sourcing of the article, plus the {{disputed}} tag, I am quick-failing this article's GA review (before it even technically started). @harej 01:04, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
