Lead paragraph[edit]
- After World War II he became Mayor – The word "World War II" is mentioned here but not in the body. Per WP:LEADCITE, everything in the body has to be mentioned elsewhere. Perhaps not explicity, but I think we should mention "World War II" somewhere in the sections. I know the Surrender of Japan is part of WWII, but we can't expect our readers to know that. A simple mention should fix this.
Infobox[edit]
- I'm a bit picky with unsourced info in the infobox. I noticed that you mention these people but don't provide a mention of them elsewhere in the body paragraphs: Xiong Bin, Liu Yaozhang, Xue Yue, and Wang Yaowu. Per WP:INFOBOXCITE, the information in the infobox has to be cited elsewhere in the body paragraphs.
- Political party – Infobox states he was part of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, but that is not mentioned in the body. His daughter was, but that's all we got.
- Autumn 1944 – Just curious, but do we have the month so we can keep the same format as the rest of the dates? If not, no problem. We'll work with what we got...
Early life and education[edit]
He published many articles in the Xinchao journal. – Is it italicized? It wasn't italicized in the previous mention (unless this is the name of the journal, which in that case is fine).
- Yes, the Xinchao Society published a journal also called Xinchao.
Study abroad[edit]
- After participating in the May Fourth Movement in 1919, He left for the United States – He → He Siyuan; you use "He Siyuan" in other mentions later so trying to keep this consistent.
- Deeply concerned with China's weakness at the time – Weakness in what? Political weakness?
- There he met his future wife, a Frenchwoman who later adopted the Chinese name He Yiwen – Just out of curiosity, do sources mention her French name? I think it would be good to include it. This can help improve the article if someone is able to find sources on her / him during that time prior to the name change. You never know.
Academic and government career[edit]
- He joined the Kuomintang in 1927. – Would "Koumintang political party" instead of simply "Kuomintang" work? Or is it redundant? I had to click the article to know what the word was, and at that point you may lose a reader from finishing the article.
- Despite the lack of funds, He invested – He Siyuan
Military career during the Sino-Japanese War[edit]
- He sent Yiwen and their four children to live – He Siyuan
- He reported to Chiang Kai-shek – He Siyuan
Surrender of Beijing[edit]
- supplied He's guerrilla force – He Siyuan
- In January 1949, He negotiated – He Siyuan
People's Republic of China[edit]
- I actually want to talk about the title of this section. Wouldn't "Death and legacy" be more accurate than just "People's Republic of China", which tells readers nothing about what's to come other than the founding of People's Republic of China.

@MX: Thanks for your thorough review and I apologize for my delayed response. I've edited the article to incorporate all your suggestions, with the exception of two issues (Xue Yue and He Yiwen's French name) which I'm unable to resolve due to lack of available source. Please see my explanations above. -Zanhe (talk) 10:14, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
