5x expanded by JAGrace (BYU) (talk). Self-nominated at 19:06, 1 December 2016 (UTC).
Well done! 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. The first hook is the least hooky of the 3, so I struck it. The second hook is interesting and cited inline to an offline source, so it's AGF, but it doesn't give any indication of this remarkable woman's life. ALT2 is the best, but it's not written this way in the article; the article doesn't say anything about the history being valuable, and makes it sound like Mao was giving the information to Helen for the first time, not saying it for the first time. Perhaps you can tweak this based on the offline source and get back to me. I went through the article and added "citation needed" tags to statements that need verification. I also added a "clarification needed" tag to the lead to find out which Chinese revolution you're talking about; maybe you could link that. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 22:28, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
