  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either could be used, although I prefer the original hook. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and Earwig's tool doesn't bring up any concerns. QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:27, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I came to promote this, but the hook fact in ALT0 (that his friend and the CCP's head assassin defected) is not explicitly mentioned in the article. A certain Gu Shunzhang is discussed, but it's not clear in the article that he was an assassin, only that he was "head of the Red Squad". This thus makes it difficult for those unfamiliar with Chinese history to make the connection. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:32, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: The Red Squad was Teke's assassination team, see Barnouin 2006. It's mentioned earlier in the article. I've now added an extra ref tag immediately after the sentence. -Zanhe (talk) 02:39, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
