QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article looks good. Nice work. Could you provide relevant quotes from the sources so I can verify them? (I think DYK has gotten rid of the AGF approval) The Internet Archive book is not available for borrowing, so I can't check it myself. I also noticed that the Academia.edu ref (Atwood 2004) gives me a 404 notice? Does it work for you? BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

It does work for me, yes BeanieFan11. For quotes, from Waterson 2013: "The emperor ... had been assassinated in 1213 by Hu Shahu, a general who had lost the western Jin capital [who] decided to strike first, as the punishment for such failure was bound to be harsh" and from Atwood 2026: "Ḥušaḥu threatened Geuki with certain execution if he failed again ... Geuki's men scattered without a fight. Rather than face execution, Geuki marched back and overthrew Ḥušaḥu in a coup.". For confirmation he was killed, see Ratchnevsky 1991: "Shuhu Gaoqi, an army commander threatened by Hushahu, ringed the latter's residence with troops and Hushahu, who sought flight, was captured and executed". Thanks for the review! ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:21, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

OK, this should be good to go then. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:26, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

Regarding the prose, I don't see any major issues. However, I'm curious about what kind of transcription čeu-tau-ši and liušu are. Can they be removed or converted to Pinyin? Additionally, do we know whether Atwood (2026) and Martin (1970) have ISBNs?

Hi Min968, neither have ISBNs—the edition of Martin used was released before they were a worldwide standard, and Atwood's will receive one later this year (I'm using an advance copy). I presume the highlighted transcriptions are of Jurchen words, but I don't know specifics and am not inclined to remove them unless really necessary. I can ask Dr Atwood if you prefer?

@AirshipJungleman29 Thank you. That answer is enough for me. The source review has been completed and passed based on my check. It is now passed. Min968 (talk) 18:39, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
