Overall: Erlitou is a few hours late, suggest an IAR-type exemption as this is a major article/contribution; the hook fact is in the Erlitou article; thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 12:04, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

* Hello, per Wikipedia:Did you know, the hook fact needs to appear in the article—I'm not sure if it does at the moment; also, with the photo (and the hook addition (example pictured)), this might have the chance of the lead slot (and more views)? Am ready to approve with an IAR-type request for Erlitou (slightly late) otherwise; thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:35, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
