Article 1: Ji (surname 季). Long enough and fresh enough. The article is adequately cited and the facts check out to the sources. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 03:27, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Article 2: Ji (surname 吉). Long enough (barely) and fresh enough. The article is adequately cited and the facts check out to the sources. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 04:06, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

The hook also checks out for Cantonese pronunciations, refer to three separate articles (季=gwai3)(吉=gat1)(冀=kei3); incidentally, two of them share the same pronunciation in mandarin. Good to go. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 09:48, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
