Talk:Zhou Tong (monk)/Comments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honestly, I don't usually give out A ratings unless I am pretty sure that an article will pass FAC. I'm sorry that I am not more familiar with this topic. I'm a little concerned about some of the sources used here. To what extent can we trust the biographies of Zhou Tong cited here? Are they classical works, or do they utilize modern scholarship? I'm not comfortable with moving the article up to A class. My advice would be to just take it to FAC if you are certain of the quality of the sources. Feel free to respond to my concerns here, and I may change it to A class after all.--Danaman5 22:17, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- The majority of the sources I used are from modern day. There are only a few instances that I relied on classical works (mainly quotations), but they are supported by the modern works. There are no historical biographies of Zhou Tong. The only info we know about him comes from the biographies of his most famous student, Song Dynasty General Yue Fei. There is a much larger abundance of 'legendary' material about him. Most of the personal info about his life, family, and death comes from these legendary sources. If you need specific details about my sources, let me know. (Ghostexorcist 11:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC))
