The article looks really good and an appropriate size. The nomination was made in time and the QPQ has been completed. All hooks are interesting but I imagine ALT1 grabbing the most pageviews so I have a preference for that. The promotor may want ALT0 to be included in the article with a reference directly at the end of the sentence, though, as that sequence of words does not currently seem to appear in the article.--NØ 06:40, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Maranofan. The specific wording in the article is "he attended the Jiangnan Military Academy and became a junior officer in the Seventh Town of the New Army." and "Critics noted Zheng's proclivity for comedy during his stage days, with one writing in Xibao in 1918 that he was "witty but not frivolous and gimmicky, but not exploitative [with a] refined difference from those who just want to mess around." Thanks for the review! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:18, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
