Duke Huan of Tian Qi, Yan, Marquis of Tian[edit]

  • Both articles are relatively brief but still long enough, longer in fact than their Chinese language counterparts. I'm surprised by the hook that a murderer and his victim are buried side-by-side. The hook is cited both with ancient annals (for the murder) and modern archaeology ( qidu.net website). The somewhat flimsy modern source could perhaps be strengthened with a peer-reviewed research article, but it should still be OK as it stands. Teply (talk) 02:17, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your review. Unfortunately I've been unable to find a peer-reviewed article to replace the Qidu.net source. There are a few online, but all behind a pay wall which I don't have access to. Qidu.net, however, is a web site run by the government of Linzi which has jurisdiction over the archaeological sites. So it's still a reasonably reliable source. -Zanhe (talk) 04:27, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
I personally agree that it all checks out, but could you please provide the links to the pay wall sources for verification anyway? There's an off chance that I or some other reviewer may have access depending on the journal. Teply (talk) 07:14, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Here are three I've found: [1], [2], [3]. They are all published in Chinese history or archaeology journals, available to subscribers of cnki.net, the Chinese clearinghouse of academic publications. -Zanhe (talk) 21:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
