- ... that although Duke Huan of Tian Qi murdered Tian Yan to usurp the throne of Qi, the two brothers were buried together in the Two Kings' Cemetery, which is now on the tentative list of World Heritage Sites?

- Both articles are relatively brief but still long enough, longer in fact than their Chinese language counterparts. I'm surprised by the hook that a murderer and his victim are buried side-by-side. The hook is cited both with ancient annals (for the murder) and modern archaeology ( qidu.net website). The somewhat flimsy modern source could perhaps be strengthened with a peer-reviewed research article, but it should still be OK as it stands. Teply (talk) 02:17, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review. Unfortunately I've been unable to find a peer-reviewed article to replace the Qidu.net source. There are a few online, but all behind a pay wall which I don't have access to. Qidu.net, however, is a web site run by the government of Linzi which has jurisdiction over the archaeological sites. So it's still a reasonably reliable source. -Zanhe (talk) 04:27, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
