@Toadboy123 and Makeandtoss: article's a bit WP:PROSELINE in places, can this be remedied?--Launchballer 16:00, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

... that during his 40 year tenure as the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Li Zhaoxing (pictured) published over 200 poems and was known as a 'poet minister'? Makeandtoss (talk) 17:56, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Makeandtoss and Launchballer: "40 year tenure as the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs" seems misleading as it implies he served as Foreign Minister for 40 years when in reality he only served from 2001 to 2007. If we can't fix the PROSELINE issue, then I suggest using ALT1. Toadboy123 (talk) 22:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

We can go with ALT1 then.Makeandtoss (talk) 08:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Sure. But I managed to edit the part where the hook is located which had the PROSELINE issue. Let me know if it is good and if we can proceed with the original hook. - Toadboy123 (talk) 09:00, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

I said the article has proseline issues, not the hook. Almost the entirety of the Foreign Minister and Later career paragraphs begin exactly the same way. This should be reworded. (And preferably a few more subheadings added, although I'm not going to spike this over it.)--Launchballer 09:11, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: I made some improvements regarding WP:PROSELINE in the article. Let me know if it is good now. - Toadboy123 (talk) 09:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I'll promote this when there's room in prep.--Launchballer 09:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
