  • This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:24, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
  • @Zanhe: is there a way you could phrase this hook so it doesn't sound so uncertain? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
@Yoninah: The hook is uncertain because there's no agreement who should be considered China's first aviator. Dikötter et al. consider Lee the first, while others credit Feng Ru as the first, who was an earlier aviator and a Chinese national, but spent almost his entire career in the US, which is why he was excluded by Dikötter. -Zanhe (talk) 21:01, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
@Zanhe: Okay...so could you write something else? It's a great image for the image slot, but the hook is so iffy... Yoninah (talk) 21:06, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
@Yoninah: Well, history is often messy and I want to keep the hook accurate. I guess the easiest way to deal with this is to add "one of":
  • ALT1 ... that Zee Yee Lee, who flew an Etrich Taube (pictured) over Shanghai in 1912, was one of China's first aviators? -Zanhe (talk) 21:14, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Much better, thanks! Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
