Earwig says good to go.

Prose

 * In the first efn note, is there a reason "Materia Medica" is not italicised in Newly Revised Materia Medica?
 * Materia Medica is italicised by default and it seems that conventionally when a usually italicised phrase is in an intalicised title, you'd un-italicise it. Certainly that's the case in the sources I've read, but I wonder if our style guides differ on this KINGofLETTUCE 👑  🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Should be fine in that case.  ツ LunaEatsTuna  (💬)— 21:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * "headed by editor-in-chief Su Jing" – use the ill template as you do so later in the article.
 * Done KINGofLETTUCE 👑  🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I basically have to obligatorily ask given how short it is—can Contents be expanded at all? For instance, are there any other particularly notable drugs given in any of the sources?
 * The difficulty is the original text and illustrations are lost. I've extracted as much as I can from the sources - I'd daresay our entry is one of the most substantial ones on the topic that you can find anywhere on the Web KINGofLETTUCE 👑  🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * From the spotchecks I did I would honestly say I agree.  ツ LunaEatsTuna  (💬)— 21:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * "because of an "imperial taboo"." – does the source say anything else about this/can more context be given for readers?
 * I would like to know too! However the source doesn't say more. Buell (2017) similarly notes that his name was changed due to a "naming taboo" but doesn't elaborate. KINGofLETTUCE 👑  🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That is unfortunate.  ツ LunaEatsTuna  (💬)— 21:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Are there any freely-licensed images of the Xinxiu bencao? Would be fascinating to see what it looks like.
 * Can't find any at the moment, unfortunately - besides it would be images of the copy since the original has been lost for quite some time KINGofLETTUCE 👑  🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair point.  ツ LunaEatsTuna  (💬)— 21:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Recommend adding Template:Use X English
 * Done. Thanks for the comments! KINGofLETTUCE 👑  🥬 11:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
