Comment: I don't mind if the image isn't used, but I found it very interesting. I will fix the remaining citation needed templates and possibly expand the article more today.

Looks to be easily verifiable, but "relatively complete" should be mentioned somewhere in the wiki article. While I would prefer the article be organized into sections, I don't think that's a requirement for DYK. Just resolve the "citation needed" issues first before I approve it. And yes, I do see the comment. PrimalMustelid (talk) 12:39, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Toadspike I would suggest that the first sentence should mention Yunxian Man, otherwise the article may fail the presentability test. I notice that the article was moved this morning, so it may be a work in progress. TSventon (talk) 15:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both for your comments, I have improved the article to resolve them. It is still a little bit of a work in progress, as there is a lot more information in the sources than I originally anticipated, but I'm going for DYK, not GA, so it should be okay as is :D Toadspike (talk) 12:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article quality's a start, so I'll approve for DYK. PrimalMustelid (talk) 15:59, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
