 * Review by Maile


 * QPQ
 * Two QPQs provided have not been used elsewhere
 * Eligibility
 * Chun Afong moved to main space January 20, 2019 and is 7829 characters (1278 words) "readable prose size"
 * Julia Fayerweather Afong moved to main space January 20, 2019 and is 3229 characters (502 words) "readable prose size"
 * Sourcing
 * Both articles are extensively well-sourced
 * Hook
 * - Hook is 156 characters, so length is OK. But the reader doesn't know what the Sandalwood Mountains were, except the name of a book.  Source that has a section on the Sandalwood Mountains and why the Chinese called them Tarn Heong Sarn, the Fragrant Sandalwood Mountains.
 * Images
 * Chun Afong image is in his article, dates c. 1882 Hawaii State Archives, Public Domain license on Commons
 * Julia Fayerweather Afong image is in her article, dates c. 1860 s-70s, Public Domain license on Commons
 * Copyvio check
 * Earwig false-positives on the sourced block quote on Chun's article, and titles of some sourcing
 * Read-through and spot check on sourcing seems fine
 * Suggestion
 * Is it possible to combine the two images side-by-side in a composite? Not a requirement, but it would look neat. And having suggested that, I'm not sure how it would look with the difference in quality in the two images.

everything looks good, except that you need to be more clear to the reader what the Sandalwood Mountains are. — Maile (talk) 00:42, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
