Done for the first; - - For the second, I’m not certain putting the translated name outside parentheses would be an improvement because when translating the text, I’ve had varying results regarding what its name should be. Putting one of the results as the "definitive" name risks to be misleading. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 15:50, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

Prose
- The article is structured like a regular plane crash. The infobox is utilized properly.
- The page says to use American english, yet the text uses "whilst", even though "while" is typically preferred in American English. Fix?
- Done, I did not know that. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 08:05, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
Accident
- "On 31 March 1922, the aircraft was conducting a test flight, carrying 14 occupants on board consisting of" could be changed to "On 31 March 1922, the aircraft was conducting a test flight with 14 occupants on board: pilot-in-command Ma Yufang (马毓芳)" to make it more grammatically consistent.
- Done. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 08:05, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
- "The aircraft was returning and attempting to land at Baoding Airport, but at 10:20 am, due to a low approach altitude, the tail of the aircraft struck treetops at Wulipu" could be rewritten like this to avoid repetitions: "While attempting to land on its return to Baoding Airport at 10:20 am, the aircraft flew at a low approach altitude, causing its tail to strike treetops at Wulipu"
- Done, although I tweaked your version a bit. I hope that's fine. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 08:05, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
Broadness
It's broad enough for it's subject which is quite niche, and also focused.
Sources
Half of the google books seem fine ([1] [2] and [3]) but I couldn't access the rest for some reason, so I will consider that a spotcheck done. I would recommend using the |quote= parameter for those who don't speak Chinese.
Edit: Nevermind, I viewed your link. All sources check out, but I would still recommend adding the quotes into the quote parameter.
Copyvio
Earwig shows 6.5% which is great.
Neutrality
Seems neutral
Stability
Stability is fine.
Image check
Images seem fine.
