@SounderBruce: Thanks for the review. Fixed the hook to put "too Chinese" in quotes. Article was updated with this additional source: Roosevelt, Margot (2015-04-30). "Frank Jao's story: From refugee to business mogul". Orange County Register. Archived from the original on 2017-04-22.:

“

The bridge project was scrapped after opponents criticized the design, decorated with dragons, as “too Chinese” – a fact they blamed on Jao’s ethnic Chinese heritage. His grandparents had immigrated to Vietnam from China.

ALT0 is good to go, then. Sounder Bruce 03:16, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce: Does the status parameter need to be updated to promote this nomination? DHN (talk) 07:53, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's already been moved to the Approved holding area and does not need any other actions on our parts. Just have to wait for it to be put into a prep area, then a queue, then onto the Main Page. Sounder Bruce 08:08, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks. DHN (talk) 20:07, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
