Zhang Ting (politician)[edit]

Created by Zanhe (talk). Self-nominated at 01:03, 27 November 2018 (UTC).

  • Hi Zanhe, review follows: Article created 26 November; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited throughout to reliable sources; there is no plagiarism from the only English language source, AGF on the rest; hook is interesting and cited in the article, again happy to AGF on the foreign-language source; the hook might be a little misleading in that he was injured many years before he became a minister, but I think it is acceptable; QPQ has been completed. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 21:13, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook also gave me the impression that he injured himself while minister of electronics. Could you suggest a differently worded hook, not necessarily including his one-year ministerial post? Yoninah (talk) 13:06, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that Zhang Ting, later China's Minister of the Electronics Industry, was disabled after being wounded during a weapons test?
  • ALT2 ... that before Zhang Ting became a government minister, he was disabled by wounds suffered during a weapons test?

Hi Zanhe, both of those are fine by me. I think I favour ALT2 - Dumelow (talk) 09:35, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
