Overall, Pass! --Coin945 (talk) 16:32, 14 September 2016 (UTC) outstanding QPQ review.--Coin945 (talk) 04:47, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Coin945, if a QPQ is required but hasn't been supplied, the nomination cannot be passed. Further, if there are issues with the hook content, then nomination also cannot be passed. I think it would be helpful if instead of using icons, which are only supposed to be used once in a review as an overall grade, that you simply say how the article or hook meets or fails to meet each particular DYK criterion. Also, if you'll note, a manual verification is supposed to be made of copyvio, and needs to be made for close paraphrasing since the automated copyvio tool is generally not capable of finding close paraphrasing; reviews should mention that neutrality of article and hook and article copyvio has been checked. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:13, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg
 * as noted, the QPQ is satisfied and found that the violation % was high because of the quotes used. ch (talk) 04:16, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Whoops I made a mistake with my icons. Hook content is actually fine. I'll fix up my icons and comments above.--Coin945 (talk) 04:47, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * An additional comment I would make is that the article is currently not in Headings that are used throughout Wikipedia for books. I would highly recommend turning "Zheng Yi" into "Background", and splitting "Scarlet Memorial" into something like "Research", "Development", and "Release" (perhaps you need more development and release information?), and then turn "Reception in the West" to Critical reception, which subsections on "West" and "East".--Coin945 (talk) 04:47, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * , thanks for your thoughful and practical observations, which once again show the importance of a cool outside eye. I will continue the discussion on the article's TalkPage, where it will be more available to other editors than this transclusion. I had reasons for making the usual Background section into Zheng Yi, though on reconsideration they may not be dispositive.ch (talk) 17:24, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Comment: QPQ review: -- as noted above, I did the review for Iris cedretii (it is not required that the nomination be successful or that the process to be finished in order to get credit). In any case, I have also finished Chen Mingxia. ch (talk) 17:33, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
