I'll be reviewing this article. --Cerebellum (talk) 18:45, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Prose looks good, I made a few tweaks to match common English usage. I really like the lead, it's very comprehensive.

Thanks.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC) Your edits are very useful.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:53, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Referencing is impeccable, I really like the way you use hidden comments after many sentences to show what page the information came from. I've never seen that before but it's useful.

Thanks.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

3. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

4. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

5. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Very close to the GA standard, I just saw a few small issues, explained below. I'll put the article on hold for now so you can fix those. Thank you for making those corrections! Pass. --Cerebellum (talk) 16:00, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Comments

• In Buddhist texts: I've never seen a phrase like ordains as a monk before, I'm not sure if that is the correct usage. I would change it to a man who is ordained as a monk, usually the word is passive e.g. to be ordained. I could be wrong though.

•  Removed. You're right. Somebody already pointed this out to me in a previous review. I guess this fox does get caught twice in the same snare.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:34, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

• Images: The image caption for the image in Introduction of Buddhism to China doesn't make it immediately clear that this woman in a Buddhist nun or why the photo is there. Consider revising the caption.

•  Removed. I guess a modern color photo of a nun does not make much sense when you are talking about Chinese nuns from over thousand years ago.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:34, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

• Introduction of Buddhism to China: I'm a little confused by the phrase as well as suffering in family life, does Buddhism really advocate suffering? No problem if so, but please clarify if not.

• It doesn't. Thanks for the catch.  Fixed.

• Apologetics and adaptation: The phrase destructive to the person needs a reference since it is a direct quotation.

•  Done.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:34, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

• Role of women: I didn't really understand the first paragraph. You say that there was a need for changing post-Han society to deal with unruly daughters-in-law, could you expand on that a little more? Why were daughters-in-law so unruly?

•  Done. I have rephrased for improved neutrality and added a note.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:34, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

• And what does it mean that daughters expressed filial piety "in more extreme forms"? --Cerebellum (talk) 16:28, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

•  Fixed. Expanded.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:34, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
