5x expanded by LlywelynII (talk). Self-nominated at 15:16, 19 January 2018 (UTC).
 * Comment: Probably neater and tidier to process these all at once. I'll still be working and cleaning up the other articles over the next few days, but I'll park this here and get this started since everything is already 5× and the county article is bumping up against its deadline. (It was 5× on the 12th; the rest are more recent.)


 * COMMENT: This proposed DYK and one from January 22 both use the same image. If both are approved, perhaps one can give up the image.David notMD (talk) 12:28, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Or they could both use it. It's a nice image. This hook could also use a map or image of the old city of Dai in Hebei, too, if the reviewer prefers. We'll wait until there is one and see what s/he says. — Llywelyn II   09:25, 26 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Three of these articles are five-fold expansions and one replaces a redirect (is new). They are all long enough and have been nominated in time. The image is suitably licensed and the articles are neutral. Many of the sources are in Chinese or not available to me, and Earwig found nothing to be concerned about. Four QPQs have been done. No doubt the hooks are all accurate, but please could you spell out precisely where these facts are stated in the article(s) so that anyone ignorant of Chinese geography can see that they are true.

 * &, in Dai Prefecture, the sentence "Daizhou was named after Dai Commandery, ... even though Guangwu County had not been part of it." appears to be the one substantiating the hook, and in Dai County, the sentence "Daizhou had taken its name from the recently abolished Dai Commandery, despite having never been part of it" seems to do the same. Is that what you were looking for Cwmhiraeth, or did you have something else in mind? --Usernameunique (talk) 16:45, 20 March 2018 (UTC) Fix ping: --Usernameunique (talk) 16:46, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I should never have attempted to review the nomination. If you are happy that the hooks (or one of the hooks) are made out, why don't you give the nomination a tick based on the rest of my review. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:24, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Added a clause to make it a bit more explicit, so I think the issue has been resolved, and based on 's earlier review, I'm giving a tick. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:18, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
