Moved to mainspace by Remsense (talk). Self-nominated at 03:36, 26 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/History of Qing (People's Republic); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Glad to see you finished this one! I think the first hook is the strongest by a large amount here. The Zhao Ma source checks out, and even within the bounds of machine translation the second source appears to check out as well. Article is in a good shape (albeit needing images!) - Generalissima (talk) 03:44, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

I would've really liked to use an image of Dai Yi, but there are no free-use ones available from any point in his life.
Per the DYK notes, I tried to find an image of the plenary session that approved the project in 2002, but I've had no luck here so far either.
Other than that, my best tries were various promotional/representational images of other publications by the IQH as are used on Chinese news articles about this topic.

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated! Remsense留 18:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
