Development

• What did Friedman and LeBard teach? It seems relevant to know whether this is connected to the subjects they taught or not.

Done based on CSPAN transcript. FOARP (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

• "After the book's initial publication in the US in spring 1991" - per MOS:SEASON avoid naming seasons, as those are different between northern and southern hemispheres.

Done. There was a bit of confusion in some of the sources as to whether it released in April or May 1991 which is why I originally said "Spring", but now I've found what appears to be a first edition on the Internet Archive which says May 1991 I'll go with that and what it says in Publisher's Weekly (which you would expect to be authoritative on this).

Other

• I don't think the see also link to The Coming Conflict with China is needed per MOS:NOTSEEALSO, as it is already linked within the article.

Done. FOARP (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

• Add "Friedman and LeBard's predictions did not come true" from the lead to the body, so it is explicitly stated there

Done and expanded a bit. FOARP (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

• The citations in the lead (with the exception of the title translation) don't seem to be necessary per MOS:LEADCITE.

Done. I guess I get kind of lazy when I'm writing these things and originally write them as a stub which is why the lede is often cited. FOARP (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

References

• Would it be possible to get page numbers for Okihiro and Morris?

Done, originally I was looking at the e-book which has no page numbers but I managed to find a version of both of these with numbered pages. FOARP (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Sources all look reliable, and the image licensing seems fine to me. (not a licensing expert). Placing on hold, not much to nitpick on here. Good work, FOARP. Hog Farm _Talk 01:16, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
