Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- The report shows that there are a few proper nouns. However, there are a few phrases with close paraphrasing as well. I'm not sure if "He was President of the International Society of Surgery from 1983 to 1985. He received the Gold Medal from the College of Surgeons of Malaysia, the Abraham Colles Medal from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland" could be worded better, but that is the only concern I have.

- Many thanks @Epicgenius:. Close paraphrasing now reworded and only proper nouns now show on Earwig.Papamac (talk) 21:31, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Looks good to go now. Epicgenius (talk) 22:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
The source says, "In 1964 Professor Ong was appointed professor of surgery and head of the department at Hong Kong University, the first ethnic Chinese to hold the post." However, the hook implies that he's the first ethnic Chinese to hold such a position anywhere in Hong Kong, not just Hong Kong University. Edge3 (talk) 03:46, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Iainmacintyre: Actually, that does look like a problem, but only a minor one. You could change ALT0 from "in Hong Kong" to "at Hong Kong University". Thanks Edge3 for pointing this out, I missed this detail on the review. Epicgenius (talk) 18:21, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- Many thanks @Epicgenius:, @U and Edge3:. Yes, agreed. Done that. Papamac (talk) 21:52, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- No problem. Also pinging Hawkeye7 to inform him/her that I've modified the hook in prep to ensure that it specifies University of Hong Kong. Feel free to suggest other changes as needed. Edge3 (talk) 01:09, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
