  • I will do a full review shortly. Yue๐ŸŒ™ 20:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: References were spot-checked for verification; no issues arose. I would suggest changing "emperor" to "president" though, because Yuan Shikai's tenure as the first president of the Republic is more notable than his brief stint as a pretender to the throne, hence his common description by historians and in his article as the "first Chinese president".

  • I was initially going to put President, but I think the fact that a republic continued to put someone who declared himself emperor on their coinage is funny and interesting to me. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:12, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
