QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is interesting and well-sourced, but I highly recommend the promoter change the hook to "... that Xu Xinfu adapted the fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan for Chinese audiences?" I think most readers will be unfamiliar with the character, as I myself was until I read both articles. Yue🌙 04:07, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

• Fair. I forget that I've been reading about 20s/30s cinema for a while, and that Charlie Chan isn't as well known to the average reader. Done.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:24, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
