"In fact, wenmingxi's debate over the appropriateness of having actresses assume female roles essentially focused on the issue of citationality, with its supporters arguing that the practice was more natural than female impersonation and its opponents resorting to moralistic arguments that held that mixed-gender casting resulted in obscenity."

• Article was moved to mainspace on the 30th, so is new enough. At over 7000 characters, it is more than long enough. The copyvio detector can't seem to do much with these sources, but my spot-checks seem to show no issues off-hand. I assume good faith on those I can't access, including the quotes presented for the hook sources above. The hooks presented are interesting, though I find the main hook to be the preferable one for interesting-ness. Both are cited in-line in the article and the article as a whole properly uses in-line citations and reads neutrally. Both QPQs have been done and everything looks good to go. On a personal note, Crisco 1492, I do hope you end up making an article on huaju in the future as well, because that also seems quite interesting. Silverseren^C 04:47, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
