Doing... Reviewing this article... stay put for a review soon. MX (✉ • ✎) 01:44, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
Great article! Article is new, long enough, no copyright violations, neutral (especially difficult for a polititian involved in a scandal), hook is interesting/cited, sources are reliable, and QPQ is done. The DOB is currently unsourced, and I didn't find it in the first source. Can you please add that in the first section?
- Another question for you: Is the Ministry of Finance the same as the Secretaría de Finanzas? If so, let me know so I can link it per WP:REDLINK. I'm thinking something like Ministry of Finance (es), but let me know if we should change the wording. MX (✉ • ✎) 02:05, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
- @MX: Thanks for your review. I've removed the DOB as I can't find a single source that mentions when he was born. Although Wikidata lists his year of birth as 1950, googling his name plus 1950 results in nothing useful. Yes, the Ministry of Finance is the same as Secretaría de Finanzas, which can be seen by comparing the cited English and Spanish sources. -Zanhe (talk) 08:16, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for clearing that up. I'm sure we can work our way backwards if we find a source that mentions his age at the time of his death, but I wasn't able to find one (I googled "William Chong Wong edad" but kept getting the math made from Wikipedia's unsourced DOB. If you'd like, I can leave a comment in the article's talkpage in Spanish Wikipedia, and ping the editor there. Everything else checks out! MX (✉ • ✎) 13:22, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
