Really interesting & curious... Article is long and new enough, well-referenced (remarkable for this obscure topic), tone is sharp and neutral. Great job, Applodion. AGF on the Yu & Shenghua work (can only find snippets online). P.S. Would be great if you could include the dude's name in Chinese characters (I'd be impressed if there wasn't a zh.wiki entry on him!) Kingoflettuce (talk) 14:32, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Went ahead and found the stuff myself, hope you don't mind! Cheers, Kingoflettuce (talk) 14:58, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingoflettuce: Thank you very much for adding the Chinese names. The QPQ is also done now. Applodion (talk) 21:07, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
