Hello, happy to review this article, however, I won't be able to start the review until a days time until I have access to my pc again. Amir Ghandi (talk) 08:02, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

General comments

• "She was not only capable, wise, and decisive, but also sensitive and knew her limits, never overstepping her boundaries" this is editoralising, I suggest attribute it to an author or historian who has recorded this
• "Empress Dowager Li instilled the values of diligence, responsibility, and humility in the young emperor. She raised him with great care, but also with strictness" again editoralising, ditto
• "Instead of being involved in politics, Empress Dowager Li turned to religion" reword it to ...devoted herself to religious practice instead of involving herself in politics
• Link Foundation of the State Crisis somewhere in the paragraph about heir dispute
  • @Amir Ghandi: All done. I apologize for the delayed response. I almost forgot about this, and I was not notified that you had replied. Min968 (talk) 17:48, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
