Towards the Republic

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the 2003 historical Chinese TV series, Towards the Republic, has been subject to significant censorship, and compared to River Elegy, a TV series that influenced the Tiananmen movement of 1989?

• Comment: I've created this article as a new article, then found an old an unreferenced fork, with trivia and such. I've replaced the old, poor quality article with mine, preserving only a few components such as infoboxes. I hope this will count as a new content for the purpose of T:DYK (if somebody feels like wikilaywer, you can consider that all of the old article's content was eligible for removal under WP:V, and my content is a 5x expansion of what would've remained (which would've been nothing, as the article had no inline cites....).

• Newness - OK

Length - OK (x5 on what was there)

Hook - Format looks good, length is OK, is backed by RS.

Referencing - Reliable sources used (ref 4 could probably stand to be replaced by some of the pages from the book available through Google books preview but as the web page is written by an academic and concerns that book it should be fine). Reference formatting is OK. References back written text and all paragraphs (bar the plot summary) are referenced. AGF for ref 2 as I have no JSTOR access.

Plagiarism - None that I can see. AGF for ref 2.
