Siege of Caizhou[edit]

(

Created by Khanate General (talk). Self nominated at 12:10, 20 December 2013 (UTC).

  • Article was new on date of nomination, is long enough (DYKcheck gives 1564 characters), no neutrality concerns, uses inline citations to reliable book sources. Offline sources mean I can't check for plagiarism etc, but brevity and summary nature of article suggests copyvio or close paraphrasing is unlikely. Hook is short enough, interesting enough and properly formatted. QPQ done.

    Issues: DYK rules require the hook fact to be inline ref'd immediately after the sentence containing the fact; and the article is classed as a stub and thus ineligible. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:22, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

  • @Khanate General: Sorry to be so picky, but it hasn't. The hook concerns Aizong's escape from Kaifeng and subsequent suicide. His escape from Kaifeng is cited immediately after its sentence, but as I understand the article, the relevant sentence for his suicide is "Aizong tried to retreat, and committed suicide when the likelihood of escaping from Caizhou was no longer plausible.", which isn't. If it was an online source, I'd have done it myself, but I can't make assumptions as to exactly which book/page applies. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:09, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Oh, so there were two sentences that needed it, not just the sentence on the Aizong's escape. The second sentence has now been fixed. It's from the same page number as the sentence after it.--Khanate General ☪ talk project mongol conquests 08:54, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Just a passing comment: please could you fix the two DAB links in the hook? Jin and besieged city Thanks! Sagaciousphil (talk)
Now fixed.--Khanate General ☪ talk project mongol conquests 10:04, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
