 * Comment: For the specifics of these influences (as inquired in an edit summary), see With the Century#Overview. Finnusertop (talk &#124; guestbook &#124; contribs) 23:03, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd really like to see some of that imported into the article nominated here, so that that hook can say something specific. EEng (talk) 20:14, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. It's a good suggestion; I've spelled out those influences now. There's a lot more from where this came from, as Kim devotes an entire section to this in With the Century. Finnusertop (talk &#124; guestbook &#124; contribs) 05:56, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain. The hook fact is cited, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:14, 23 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Can we please have an alt that says something about the nature of this influence? It's a commonplace that teachers influence their students. EEng (talk) 06:25, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Alt proposal: ... that North Korean leader Kim Il-sung credited his Chinese teacher Shang Yue (pictured) with having introduced him to Chinese classics and Russian literature? Finnusertop (talk &#124; guestbook &#124; contribs) 23:23, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg See how much better that is? With your permission I'm striking ALT0. EEng (talk) 00:09, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New hook is much better. I thought at first that the part about Russian literature was unsourced, but it's in the next footnote two sentences down, so that's ok. Good to go with alternative hook, I think. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:00, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
