Name and origins
Soong's name was originally given in several forms, including dialect readings. This doesn't work for the article, where everything is spelled using standard Mandarin pronunciation. There was much confusion from a severely mangled website reference which I don't believe is necessary. The one website now given is sufficient, apparently it is a news account based on some sort of conference on Soong in Hainan.

The article generally uses Seagrave's Soong Dynasty; not ideal, but one of the few English sources on Soong, and for the early years not terribly off. I looked at the entry in Boorman's Biographical Dictionary of Republican China to try and straighten things out for some of the biographical details. The article had a confused account of Soong's 'adoption' that I fixed up using this. I will come back later and fix what I can. Rgr09 (talk) 12:40, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
