Treasure voyages[edit]

  • ... that Ming China's treasure voyages were undertaken by Admiral Zheng He's expeditionary fleet (ship model pictured), even though the 15th-century Portuguese thought that the unknown ships belonged to white Christians?

  • Wow, this has got to be one of the most impressive new articles ever! It's new enough, and long, thorough, and well-referenced enough to be a feature article. Hook is supported by offline academic reference, accepted AGF. QPQ checks out although it's not required for new nominator. I highly recommend this be used for the leading hook. Well done! -Zanhe (talk) 05:49, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
