  • @Evrik and Zanahary: please could you double check the source for the hook? I found it online via Academia.edu here. My reading is that Ankudinov thinks that there was only oral tradition before the 18th-century vita. After discussing two 17th century documents, the sentence on pages 86 and 87 says "Возможно, это свидетельствует о том, что к этому времени текст Жития Ксенофонта еще не сложился, и среди населения бытовали лишь устные предания о преподобном. [Perhaps this indicates that by this time the text of the Life of Xenophon had not yet been formed, and only oral traditions about the saint existed among the population. via Google translate]".

That is accurate, I am not sure it is surprising. I think the article needs some work, hopefully Чръный человек can help. TSventon (talk) 16:19, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TSventon and Чръный человек: I'm sure there is a simple editing fix, but I'm not clear how to edit this to make people happy. I went with the best and most consistent sourcing I had available to me.

@BeanieFan11: QPQ done. Yes, that is mentioned in the ANB entry. You could access via WPLibrary. Re preference of hooks, I'd prefer ALT0 as well.

Interesting substantial life and work, on plenty of good-looking sources, foreign and offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I lean towards the original hook (as more positive about the subject), but am afraid that the organisation will not be known to many readers, and while I thing "paramilitary" is meant to explain what it is, it wasn't clear for me just from reading the hook. Could you say that differently? The image is licensed, and shows the period well. I don't mind a slightly late nom, especially of such a substantial addition to our knowledge. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:55, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Approved ALT0–2: Article is new enough, long enough, well-cited to reliable sources, presentable, and with no policy issues detected (neutrality, BLP, copyvio). Non-boldlinked articles in hooks also look presentable, with no maintenance banners. Hooks are formatted and of good length, with hook facts cited in article. Verified hook fact for ALT0, ALT1. AGF for ALT2 (pages 88–101 of De Normann not available at open library). QPQ waived. I feel that ALT0 is the most interesting of the three. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Hi JayceFey! Just a small recommendation: While I am aware that Track listing and Personnel sections are generally citation-free, the final sentence of the Background section that mentions the absence of three tracks in the previous albums lacks a citation. It may have been intended as an extension of the primary source from the previous album, but I would advise citing it with a secondary source if possible. The hook is interesting. Second DYK nomination so QPQ-free. Earwig's Detector shows a 4.8% similarity, but it's not plagiarism after double checking. The article is well-written overall.

Overall: Both article need end-of-sentence cites for the fact of him discovering the city. The source confirms the claim ("He discovered the Shang deposits at Daxinzhuang"). The source is a doctoral dissertation, but it seems to have a decent number of citations according to Scholar, so I think it's fine to use.
