[edit] Article Structure

Just wondering, is there some sort of standard around for articles on generals? I realise that this article has been classified as a stub, and since there's only a limited amount of extra information worth adding on him (unless you want to go into the numbers that he killed/captured on each campaign, which is boring), it would be nice to know what sort of things are expected in similar articles so that relevant information can be added and grouped accordingly.--Omdal 04:04, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Not that I am aware of. However, a major reason why this article is classified as a stub, I think, is that there are large amounts of information available on him (mostly from Shiji and Han Shu) that can be added, but isn't here. As I am not particularly enthusastic about Huo's career, I might or might not try to do this in the future; right now, I am still trying to add depth into the coverage of Chinese history overall. Obviously, somebody else is welcome to do it. --Nlu 04:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
