Anti-corruption campaign in China (2013–)[edit]

Zhou Yongkang is the highest ranked official in the history of Communist-ruled China to be investigated for corruption.

  • ALT1:... that 99 high-ranking officials in China have been implicated in an anti-corruption campaign that began in 2013?
  • Comment: This article took me several months to complete after cobbling together massive amounts of research on multiple fronts, most of the 'sub-articles' in the "list" section is also of reasonable quality and can be DYK'ed if need be.

  • Very nice and comprehensive article. I can't imagine how many hours the author has put into this article. Thanks for the tremendous amount of hard work! It meets most DYK criteria, but a few sections are uncited, which I've tagged in the article. -Zanhe (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
  • @Zanhe: the missing citations have been fully added. Colipon+(Talk) 17:49, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
  • I don't think the main hook is interesting enough. ALT1 is better, but I cannot find any citation for the number 70. And if you want to use the image, please propose a hook that mentions Zhou Yongkang. -Zanhe (talk) 17:33, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
  • I was able to find a source for "99" tigers (here), although this includes both military and civilian officials. Let's change the number "70" to "99" if you are amenable to that. Thanks! Colipon+(Talk) 03:34, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Adding my praise for the hard work that went into this, and a picky comment: the first paragraph under Background doesn't have a citation, and the source article for the paragraph after that doesn't seem to support it (or at least doesn't use the words "1978", "promotion", or "contract". --Rosekelleher (talk) 20:57, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
  • @Rosekelleher:, I have added citations to the paragraph. It's fairly common knowledge so I didn't feel a citation was necessary, but if I must... Colipon+(Talk) 18:14, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well written. ALT1 (I updated the number to 99 per article and source) is verified with inline reference. QPQ is done. No copyvio issues. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 00:17, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
