Overall: New enough and long enough. Earwig is showing me 0%, which may be an error, but spotchecking I haven't found any issues. Image is sufficiently clear for what it is – one doesn't expect newspapers to show up well at 100px. Looks good to go! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:26, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Soman, @Chris Woodrich, what's going on with the source '四 《前进报》和《工人之路》简史 which this article appears to rely on heavily? Could you please add the authors, title of the work from which the chapter is pulled, translated title, publisher, year, and other relevant information to the citation? Other cites could be improved as well, but I think this key one is good to have properly set before the article runs at DYK. Thanks! —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The reference is fleshed out now, with the name of author, name of article, the issue of the publication, name of publisher, year and page numbers. --Soman (talk) 20:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a different cite than the one I was referring to, actually, the one I mentioned is the second source, from the China Social Science Library ("A brief history"). If you can get to that one that would be good, and the others as well if you have time. —Ganesha811 (talk) 20:17, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
