Overall: This is a well-written, well-sourced article, new, neutral in tone, and with no copyright issues found. The hooks are interesting and I would accept either of the two. However, there may be a chance of increasing the "hookiness" by trying something like:
... that Chinese activist Li Qiaochu was detained 31 December 2019 and spent New Year's day in handcuffs in relation to the "12.26 Citizens Case", while her partner Xu Zhiyong was still in hiding?
Finally, the image comes from a screen capture of a PEN America YouTube video, which I understand is not allowed without the proper license permission from the original author. Perhaps a second opinion from an editor with more experience in Commons could be useful. Alan Islas (talk) 14:37, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi Alan Islas, thank you for your feedback on this article and its nomination. I have adopted your suggestion for the extra words in the first hook. Regarding the copyright issue of the photo, I have been alerted to the insufficient copyright through recent feedback of a Wikimedia staff, and I have asked PEN America to send in a copyright release statement compliant with the norms; I believe that the matter may be possible to clear rather quickly.--CRau080 (talk) 17:13, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks CRau080, sounds good, I will leave this submission in the current hold status, awaiting the image license permissions. I hope this can be resolved successfully because an article is always better with pictures. Alan Islas (talk) 00:02, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi Alan Islas, I see that the status of my DYK submission has not changed. I presume that this is because the licensing issue has not been cleared yet. If that is the case, could you please let me know? I will then try again to obtain the relevant permission from PEN America.--CRau080 (talk) 21:08, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
@CRau080: I see the image is still being used in the article's infobox; this DYK nomination is unlikely to be promoted as long as the article contains this potential copyright issue. Would you like the image to remain in the article and if so, any updates on the permissions? DanCherek (talk) 17:28, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
@DanCherek: Thank you for your reminder on this. I have just emailed again PEN America and hope for the necessary steps to be taken soon.--CRau080 (talk) 17:48, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
@DanCherek: The permission has been sent to Wikimedia (with me being copied in) just now. I therefore believe the nomination process can soon be resumed.--CRau080 (talk) 22:46, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Cool, I suggest waiting for the official OTRS confirmation and then the original reviewer can be pinged to pass this. DanCherek (talk) 00:16, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Alan Islas: I can now confirm that the permission issue that blocked the progress of this DYK nomination, has been resolved, i.e. PEN America has kindly granted the permission needed.[1] I would therefore like to ask for this nomination to be further processed.--CRau080 (talk) 20:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi @CRau080:, thanks, I've changed the status. Good to go. Alan Islas (talk) 09:20, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
