 * Just a comment Don't mean to get political here but why would you refer to post-1949 China as the Republic of China?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 08:51, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I thought all had Peoples Republic of China, but will make sure that all comments reflect this. Thanks for the comment.HaraldW1954 (talk) 07:47, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg - Not a full review - After looking through the article I am concerned that it is not neutral (I have tagged it as such) and that the individual may have had some relationship with the writing of the article (the name of user who uploaded the images is "Creswell.Eastman"). Further, the images do appear on other websites and therefore a permission email should be sent to OTRS to verify that the individual uploading them actually has the ability to freely license them.

 * Yes I did contact Eastman to complete the page as I was having difficulty in finding photos. I provided Eastman with the instructions to upload his photos. He indicated that they came from his collection and uploaded them as such. I am happy to e-mail OTRS but not sure that is necessary. I decided on doing the article after listening to the Conversations podcast and was surprised when no page existed. I have attempted to be completely factual in the article and have tried to reference everything mentioned. Can you please give me some examples that do not read as neutral? More than happy to address issues. Thank You HaraldW1954 (talk) 06:18, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg The article as a whole looks better but I would like a second set of eyes/new reviewer's opinion concerning the issues I previously raised before moving this forward. Mifter (talk) 00:47, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg I'm afraid I share 's concerns. Sections 2, 3, and 4 currently read like a resume or CV, not a neutral Wikipedia article. Please remember that since this is not a cv, a number of details that may be interest to this man's colleagues are not appropriate here. There are also a number of unsourced statements. The non-compliance with WP:V and NPOV are enough to fail this right away; Mifter, if you agree with this assessment, I will do so. Vanamonde (talk) 06:51, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
 * - I agree with your assessment and am declining the nom. Mifter (talk) 00:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
