Date, size, refs, hook, neutrality, copyvio spotcheck, QPQ, all GTG. Excellent article, thank you. That said, I think a hook mentioning persecution and suicide during the Cultural Revolution might attract more views? See ALT1 below. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:01, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1: that Chen Xiaocui (pictured), Chinese painter and writer who helped translating Sherlock Holmes into Chinese, was persecuted and committed suicide during the Chinese Cultural Revolution?

Piotrus, thank you for the prompt review. Also many thanks for the alternative hook. Too many died during the Cultural Revolution that the fact of dying itself does not strike my nerves any more. Helping to introduce Sherlock Holmes when she was still a child, however, is remarkable. --TheLonelyPather (talk) 13:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
I personally would not have as many Chinese characters throughout the article per MOS:ROMANISATION, but I understand why they may be helpful for some so will not oppose them. I would also use the term "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide" in the lead (or possibly re-write to avoid either formulation), as this seems increasingly preferred by external style guides. However, I'm aware that Wikipedia's Manual of Style allows for this, so again no opposes there. (I'm also just being picky here as it is very difficult to find fault with this article)
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Edited to remove possible loaded language
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Congratulations, I see no reason why this article cannot be passed right away. – GnocchiFan (talk) 23:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
