Kong Anguo, Mei Ze[edit]

( Back to T:TDYK )

( Article history links:

)

... that Mei Ze's forgery of Kong Anguo's compilation of the Book of Documents was officially recognized as a Confucian classic for over 1000 years?

Reviewed: Mining in Mongolia (second and third of 3 QPQs)

Ooh, a double nomination! Let's see now... Both articles are long enough, recent enough, and contain no copyvio or policy violations that I can detect (unless you count the sections which are common to both pages; since the author is the same editor, though, this doesn't constitute a copyright issue). The hook is interesting, concise and presumably verified by the source cited (Declercq); I can't access the text but based on the sources in the article that I can access, I reckon it's safe to AGF. QPQ review is done. Interesting stuff - definitely one of the more intriguing DYKs I've encountered; let's get this on the Main Page. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:19, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your review. Just FYI, the book citations are accesible on Google books. Just click on the book url in the references section, click "view sample", and then navigate to the page number(s). Cheers! -Zanhe (talk) 14:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
