New enough; well long enough; well cited, though since none are online they're just being accepted in good faith; it's a little better to put the translations in |trans-title=, include the Chinese names using |script-title=zh:, use |authormask=to remove the extraneous commas from Chinese names, and mention |language=Chinese (fixt); don't use Chinese characters when links are available to an article that includes them (WP:MOS-ZH); wrap all Chinese text with the {{lang}} template (MOS:LANG); don't use tonal romanizations in the running text but do give them in the glosses (WP:PINYIN); minor grammar, spelling, &c. issues (fixt); neutral; Earwig of course finds nothing online, with offline sources AGF; added hyphen and (pictured) to hook but otherwise fine; no QPQ since new [Welcome!].
Personally, fabric painting not being a big thing, I think there are more interesting things to talk about in the article like Mawangdui having been in a vassal kingdom, not Han itself; its first dynasty having been southern barbarians; the Han having created them as a buffer against a hostile surviving Qin warlord; or the Book of Han recording Liu Bang's ally receiving 5 commanderies... out of which one had already been given to someone else and three were held by that Qin warlord in Guangzhou; Changsha having been a wilderness; their gods being the Great Unity and the Thunder Lord; &c. If you wanna do another hook, ping me and I'll do what I can to check it.
That said, if the fabric thing is what interests you, thank you for the great article and ALT0 G2G. — LlywelynII 04:18, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- @LlywelynII: I'm fine with any of these. Just choose whichever you think will suit it the best! Esiymbro (talk) 04:38, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Well, no, the point is that I'm the reviewer. If I came up with the hook myself, we'd have to get a third person to review that. In any case, it seems like you're fine with the fabric painting and that hook is already good to go. — LlywelynII 04:41, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
