  • I did not see any source in the nomination currently. Also I propose it to be reworded so it sounds more neutral, as for "democratic forms of government", you need to prove it with source that saying they were democratic. If there isnt any, probably it should be removed from the hook. But the article is indeed interesting. Nyanardsan (talk) 22:06, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi! Thanks for the interest in the article, I've updated it accordingly. The sources I've put have proof that the federations had a unique democratic government with roots in Chinese village societies (late Dutch scholars have classified them as "republics").

  • @Theeelman: The nomination looks great so far, thanks for updating it! Definitely prefer ALT1 hook. The article is long enough and new enough relative to the nomination date. The sources are from Library of Western Belvedere, which says on the website has connection with Fuzhou University and the source page itself has inline citations, so I assume it's reliable. This is your first nomination and first five nominations, QPQ is irrelevant. However, there's still one another problem. DYK rule of thumb is that the article should have at least one minimum inline citation per paragraph excluding the lead. Can you please add citations to uncited paragraphs? Other than that, it's been quite good. Nyanardsan (talk) 23:23, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
