QPQ: Done.

Overall: The paragraph starting with "During his lifetime" needs a ref at the end. The paragraph starting with "In 1867" ends with a malformatted ref. Ref 26, the one pertaining to the hook, should be fleshed out. It is currently a bare link. Ergo Sum 22:13, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks for your review. There is a question mark after the QPQ, which I've completed. (Template:Did you know nominations/Wei Zhongquan) I cited the term "During his life time", while also adding terms more in line with that source. I also expanded the page range on the Spofford citation and have added Stevens, 1913, p.97 to better cover the hook and supporting statement. I've added and tweaked some citations so the cite numbers have shifted. If there are other sourcing issues could you be specific? I'm not sure what you mean by "fleshed out." -- Gwillhickers (talk) 00:23, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

• @Gwillhickers: By flesh out, I mean that a reference should not be a WP:Bare URL. Also, the ref at the end of the paragraph starting with "In 1867" is still malformatted. Ergo Sum 13:22, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Done Fixed mal-formed ref and fleshed out citation in question. Some of the citations were present before I began expanding the article. Thanks for looking out. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:17, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

• Ref 24 is still a bare URL. I am only making a big deal out of this because it is one of the refs that directly supports the hook. Ergo Sum 20:22, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

• No problems. I caught that and was working on it, probably at the same time of your reply here. (Fixed) -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:41, 4 March 2020

Good to go now. Ergo Sum 21:17, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
