Zhou Qunfei

 * ... that former migrant worker Zhou Qunfei started a touchscreen company and became China's richest woman with a net worth of US$10 billion?


 * Reviewed: Square dancing (China)

 * Verified new article, long enough (2k). Hook is fine after editing to remove networth because sources disagreed on the networth amount (http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/asia-report/china/story/once-factory-worker-now-chinas-richest-woman-20150406), but no dispute that she is China's richest woman. No issues with content. Pending QPQ. - Mailer Diablo 21:39, 7 April 2015 (UTC)


 * thanks for your review. I've added the QPQ and restored her net worth to the hook. $10 billion is a nice round number that makes the hook more interesting, IMO. And there's no real disagreement between the sources, the Straits Times article is simply outdated. Although published on April 6, it quotes the stock price of March 31 ("last Tuesday"), and the company stock has risen substantially since then. The SCMP article uses a more recent stock price, and is thus more accurate. -Zanhe (talk) 22:53, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I raised that because the Chinese article in the reflist also translates to roughly US$7.4 billion, but I'll take your word for it. Symbol voting keep.svg Looks good to me. - Mailer Diablo 22:56, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg There is a bit of close paraphrasing from the online source:
 * Source: Her net worth grew 452 per cent as her company's shares hit the daily trading limit for 13 consecutive days.
 * Article: The company's shares hit the market's daily trading limit for 13 days straight, and her net worth grew 452% to reach US$10 billion. Yoninah (talk) 20:59, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I've rephrased the sentence. Please check it out. Thanks. -Zanhe (talk) 22:41, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Much better, thanks. Restoring tick based on Mailer Diablo's review. Yoninah (talk) 12:05, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
