- The information in the hook is not properly referenced. Footnote 1 contains the website http://www.chinaich.com.cn, but this is just the home page of the website and there is no link on this page to any web page containing information about Changzhou combs.
- Article is only 1,457 characters long, but it just needs to be expanded slightly to reach 1,500 characters. I think the article could better describe the combs. The article tells me they are hand-painted, but it is not clear to me how the hand-painting makes them highly prized. For example, what sort of designs are painted on the combs, and what type of paint is used? Also, the difference between a wooden comb (梳) and a bi (篦) is not clear to me.
- Most of the citations are only bare URLs. Full information about the web pages should be provided. Archive URLs should also be added to avoid link rot.
- Some freely licensed photographs would improve the article greatly (though this is not required for the purpose of DYK).

- thanks for the evaluation. I have filled out the refs now (including the first one, alghough it takes long to load) and asked the original author to add the rest. I'll keep an eye on it and expect all issues to be addressed withing 48 hours (but my chinese is not good enough to do it myself)! L.tak (talk) 22:36, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
