New enough (created 19 April 2020), long enough (body text 2,500+ characters), neutral, cites sources, AGF on plagiarism, as I don't have JSTOR access anymore, but it passes the smell test. Hook is short enough, interesting, and appears to be properly cited. No image, though I'm surprised that the one in the article wasn't included. QPQ is present. This is good to go. On a personal note, it's always nice to see new, high-quality East Asian history articles. The people that I used to work with on articles in that area have either left the project or passed away. If you're ever looking for collaborators/proofreaders/etc., let me know. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:31, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: Thanks for the review (really curious as to what that name means) and thanks for the offer--certainly could use some help--but I wonder if you'd be as interested in some of the niche East Asian topics I'm especially interested in expanding on. I'll take up your offer when the time comes! Kingoflettuce (talk) 12:17, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
