Min fanglei

  • ... that the 3,000-year-old Min fanglei (pictured) set a world-record auction price for an Asian artwork, and was later sold again for more than twice the amount? Source: Artnet Meyer 2015

Created by Zanhe (talk) and Huangdan2060 (talk). Nominated by Zanhe (talk) at 07:27, 23 February 2018 (UTC).

  • Template:Ping (courtesy ping Template:U) some questions: do you want fanglei to be italicized? It's in italics in the article text, but not the hook/caption or title. I'm assuming it should be italicized? I took the liberty of doing so in the hook and caption.
  • Also a wording suggestion -- in English sources like this video for Christie's [1], it's referred to as Template:Tq (e.g., Template:Tq), but lots of sentences in the Wikipedia article just refer to it as Template:Tq e.g., Template:Tq. I think perhaps adding in some thes would make it read better? (Perhaps also in the image's caption for the hook?)
  • Anyway, the review: new enough (created 21 Feb, nominated 23 Feb); long enough (3897 characters), never been on main page before.
  • hook interesting, and referenced (AGF for non-English refs). I wonder if it's okay to report the second price when the article has conflicting estimates? Both are more than twice the former price, so I guess it's fine. I take it there are no estimates that are less than $18 million?
  • Every non-lede paragraph has citations, image is appropriately licensed. Accepting on good faith that non-English sources aren't too closely paraphrased.
  • QPQ done.

Template:Re thanks for your review! I agree it sounds more natural with "the", and added it to the article where it was missing. -Zanhe (talk) 05:34, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
