 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hi Zanhe, review follows:
 * Gongsun Shu: article more than 5x expanded between 18 and 26 October; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; no copyright violation noticed, though I couldn't access all of the pages of the sources used (and one source is in Chinese) - I am happy to AGF these;
 * Chengjia: article created 25 October; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; no copyright violation noticed, though I couldn't access all of the pages of the sources used (and some of the sources are in Chinese) - I am happy to AGF these;
 * Other: I am presuming that the citation Crespigny at the end of the second paragraph of "Founding" in the Chengjia article provides the citation for the first part of the hook, but I cannot access the relevant page (269?) to check - happy to AGF; the fact is also mentioned in the Gongsun Shu article which provides additional sources. I cannot access page 254 of Twitchett et al but presume this would corroborate Crespigny and the opther source is in Chinese.  The coinage fact is cited to the pages of Crespigny that I cannot access, again happy to AGF. The hook is interesting enough, image used is licensed appropriately and correctly; 2x QPQs needed but otherwise I think this one is good to go - Dumelow (talk) 07:49, 26 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your review. I've added two QPQs above. I've also expanded the articles further and added more ref tags for the hook fact. It's interesting how Google books decides who can read which pages, because I can read the pages without a problem. -Zanhe (talk) 04:13, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
