  • Assuming good faith on the Chinese language source as other sites seem to support the claim. Date and length are good. BigDom 22:26, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Sorry, but six of the eight citations are to Baidu Baike, a tertiary source much like Wikipedia itself. This article therefore requires sourcing to be improved. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 09:23, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Just added a few more references. The rules here state clearly that the DYK fact needs to be supported by an inline citation. I understand the problem with using Baidu Baike, and have refrained from using it in the article to support the DYK hook (the hook is supported by other sources). I suppose it's alright to use Baidu Baike as a reference for the other parts of the article, at least for now. Lonelydarksky (暗無天日) contact me (聯絡) 09:56, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I would advise you to switch to the most detailed and comprehensive page (Xinhua) as a reference instead of Baidu. However, for the hook, I would note that whilst it mentions that he received almost all the best actor awards for 曹操, but does not specifically mention the 金鹰奖. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 04:35, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
  • The 简介 section of the Xinhua page mentions that he received Best Actor at both the Golden Eagle and Flying Goddess (飛天) awards. The latter doesn't have an article yet so I omitted it from the hook. This helps to ensure that the hook is within the character limit, and besides that, a red link won't look presentable on the main page.

  • Thanks for making the changes. Now it's good to go. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 13:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
