Talk:Society and culture of the Han dynasty/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

This article is part of a series of wikis on the Han Dynasty that PericlesofAthens has recently written. I find it fully deserving of the "Good Article" title, because it fulfills (and sometimes goes far beyond) all six criteria for Good Articles as listed here.


 * 1) It is written in a serious yet entertaining style (as good encyclopedic articles should)
 * 2) To the best of my knowledge, the article is factually accurate, and every single sentence is referenced to what seem to be reliable scholarly sources (in satisfaction of criterion 2 on WP:verifiability).
 * 3) This survey of more than 400 years of social and cultural developments is impressively broad in coverage without lingering on useless details.
 * 4) The tone and factual content of the article appear to be neutral, and all judgments of value are referred to scholarly sources, as should.
 * 5) The article is stable. The edis that have been made in the last few days are all minor improvements: they are not the result of a content dispute or edit wars, and no one has questioned the structure of the article. The fact that every sentence is footnoted and referred to a scholarly source will make the content of the article very difficult to challenge.
 * 6) Finally, the article is illustrated with abundant images that carry interesting and informative captions. I haven't analyzed every single image, but those I looked up had no copyright problems.

I have not calculated the total prose length of the article, but it appears close to the upper limit. 400 years of social and cultural history clearly deserve lengthy treatment, but we should make sure the article is not excessively long (though I am no claiming it is!).

All right, that's it for a start. I hope other people join the discussion.
