Review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
Issues:

"His father, Cheong Peng-nam, arrived in Victoria in 1854" needs to be changed to "His father, Cheong Peng-nam, arrived in Victoria, Australia in 1854" for clarification purposes since the country Australia has not been previously referred to.

"Cheong was born...His father, Cheong Peng-nam...Cheong ^{[who? Which one?]} had two sisters" needs to be revised for clarification.

" He was survived by six of his children." This needs clarification. Maybe rephrase it to "His lineage was carried by six of his children" ? However the article states he had 7 children so that statement definitely needs clarification.

Indeed he had 7 children and was survived by 6 children (he was predeceased by one)--but I am synthesising two sources and the fact doesn't seem so significant on second thought, so I've removed that line altogether, if that's alright. Kingoflettuce (talk) 02:01, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingoflettuce: That's alright, and thank you for addresing it. :) —Remember, I'murmate — I'ma editor2022 ^{(🗣️💬 |📖📚)} 04:18, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why this [[1]] has so much repititive citations, that needs to be decluttered. Or why this sentence has 3 inline citations in just one sentence. Although not necessary for GA status, you may want to look at WP:CITEKILL and in this case, WP:REPCITE, for future references:).

A) I thought it'd show exactly which bit of the sentence is backed up by which specific part of a specific source. Have lumped both at the end of the sentence instead. B) Similar reasoning, although in this case no pages are repeated. I always thought it was better to directly cite which specific parts were backed up by what. Since you say it's not necessary I have left that as it is. Kingoflettuce (talk) 02:01, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And respectfully, I think WP:INTEGRITY applies here ("nor does it apply when multiple sources support different parts of a paragraph or passage.") I must admit I never looked it up until today, just intuitively thought that had to be the case. Kingoflettuce (talk) 02:05, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you have a point. They are relatively minor, and not necessary issues. I never actually read WP:INTEGRITY before, so thank you for referencing it. —Remember, I'murmate — I'ma editor2022 ^{(🗣️💬 |📖📚)} 04:18, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
Comply with all.
Is it verifiable with no original research?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
Complies with all.

B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
All citations come from reliable sources.

C. It contains no original research:
Almost all sentences, however this sentence needs an inline citation

Ironically, REPCITE is relevant HERE, since Lake 2013, p.49 supports both sentences so there's no need to inline cite it twice... Kingoflettuce (talk) 02:28, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thank you for correcting me! I don't really have acess to the source so it's good to know that. —Remember, I'murmate — I'ma editor2022 ^{(🗣️💬 |📖📚)} 04:21, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Article is stable and hasn't been the victim of vandalism (VOV) for atleast the last month, nor has any edit warring occured
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
