 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, and well written. Both hooks are supported with inline references. However, I have doubts about the claim "the Zeng family lived by the sea", which is not consistent with what I've read elsewhere. Please verify this with sources or take it out. Once that's done it'll be good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 19:27, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg I went ahead and removed the claim as it's dubious and insignificant, so the DYK can move forward. Feel free to revert if you disagree. No copyvio found. Image is public domain. Both hooks are verified, although I prefer the shorter original one. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
