AGF on the source, as I don't have access to it. Article is eligible, in good shape (fully cited, well written), and I can't find any evidence of copyvio. No QPQ needed. Looks like we're good to go here. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 02:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
I suggest this image not be used; it renders poorly at small size.

Can we please have a quote from the offline source that states the hook fact? If something is offline, that should be provided for the reviewer. Schwede 66 06:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

  - @Schwede66 and AirshipJungleman29: Here it is: “All the generals and men were lined up in formation and were waiting for the morning to come. Zhao Kuang Yin was still sound asleep in the room and did not know what had happened outside. At dawn of 4 January the generals pushed the door of the bedroom open and entered the room with their armor on and swords in their hands. They said, “Now we do not have a master. We will make you Emperor!” Zhao Kuang Yin was so surprised that he jumped up from his bed. Before he could give an answer, a general had draped a yellow robe on him.” From page 64. Is there a way to edit the nomination or should I submit a new one? Thanks, Lyn1644 (talk) 17:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. That’s all that’s needed. Schwede 66 18:57, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
