I'll review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article looks good. Nice work. A minor point: @Crisco 1492: Is it appropriate to say in the hook that it was China's first full-length feature film when the article seems to be a little less certain (Yan Ruisheng is commonly identified as the first Chinese-made full-length feature film / has been considered China's first full-length feature film)?

Hi BeanieFan11. That's me hedging my bets, because I distrust "first" claims even when multiple sources say "is", explicitly. I've changed the article to say "is". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:27, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Probably fine then. Though, if you're not completely certain you could change the hook to something like e.g. "that Yan Ruisheng (advertisement pictured) is considered China's first full-length feature film?" or "that Yan Ruisheng (advertisement pictured), considered China's first full-length feature film, was banned within two years?

  - Yeah... only the sources don't have that level of uncertainty. I should have just gone with "is" from the get-go. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:37, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
