* ... that about 100,000 soldiers from the Chinese Expeditionary Force fought in Burma against the Japanese during the Second World War? Source: [1]

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/David Cheng

5x expanded by Alex Shih (talk). Self-nominated at 03:33, 14 July 2017 (UTC).

New enough (5x now, expansion began 16 edits ago on 10 July 2017), long enough (4,540 B "readable prose size"), not fully referenced. QPQ done. Hook is not in the article. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:40, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Thought I added, must have slipped my mind. It's in the article now. Alex Shih ^Talk 04:27, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes, but it is not supported by the source. Hawkeye7 (talk) 06:52, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

@Hawkeye7: Thank you for your help and sorry I've been careless. May I propose two new hooks to be reviewed? Thanks again in advance. They are mentioned in the article under Chinese Expeditionary Force#First expedition (March – August 1942) Alex Shih ^Talk 15:20, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

ALT1 ...that the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Burma Campaign was commanded by a American general? Source: "Stilwell was the boss... to promote, relieve, and punish any officer in the Chinese Expeditionary Force"< (Taylor, 2009, p. 202)
ALT2 ~~...that members of the Chinese Expeditionary Force rescued a division of the British Indian Army from the Japanese in the Burma Campaign?~~ Source: "Sun Liren's 38th Division to rush to the rescue" (Taylor, 2009, p. 202-203)
That's not correct; the 38th Division attempted to relieve the 1st Burma Division, but did not succeed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

ALT1 approved. We are still afoul of Supplementary Rule D2: The article in general should use inline, cited sources. A rule of thumb is one inline citation per paragraph, excluding the lead, plot summaries, and paragraphs which summarize other cited content. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
