Re: Quotation
"It would be easier to fight a tiger, than to fight the Lady Queen." Out of sheer curiosity: what is the original source for this? -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 05:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Accuracy/NPOV
I wonder who wrote this page. It seems to be in the same style as the article on the Trung Sisters; both lack sources concerning the legends of the exploits of these people, and both seem to be written in a similar style. The author also seems intent on describing the invading Chinese army in both articles as 'fighting naked'. It seems like this was a personal addition by the author, who could not accept the fact that the defending army was just plain useless. The author seems quite pathetic, really.
Offending paragraph: Another version claims that Triệu Thị Trinh was a nine-foot tall giantess who rode into battle upon a massive elephant with her pendulous breasts slung over her shoulders and the Chinese at the times exclaimed: “It would be easier to fight a tiger, than to fight the Lady Queen.”.[citation needed] [1] It was said[who?] that she could not stand even the tiniest bit of dirt so a Chinese general made his troops kick up lots of dust while they fought naked making her flee in disgust so her small army lost upon which she committed suicide.
Changed the source [1] from the end to the middle of the paragraph. Evidence of the end of the paragraph is not found in the source.
Just removed from article
[1]. Please move such text to "Discussion" in the future, thanks. Badagnani (talk) 16:10, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Rewrite
The current version contains too many quotations, a section of synthesis, and few third-party source was cited (most of sources that are used are primary source which should not be used here). I suggested that this article should be rewritten entirely to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards.
If no one object, I will rewrite this article by using only English sources and source of well-known historian Tran Trong Kim.--Amore Mio (talk) 12:25, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
