[edit] Off topic?

Much of the text reads as a history of gunpowder in China, with occasional references back to Jiao Yu. A lot of the material could be cut without even touching Yu's biography or details of his particular contributions to his field. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 08:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

You're right; I was already thinking about moving much of the info into the stub article I've already created on the book Huo Long Jing.--PericlesofAthens 15:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Information moved to the Huo Long Jing article

I just successfully transferred the info of Jiao Yu's article into the Huo Long Jing article.--PericlesofAthens 16:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I also demoted this article to start class, while raising the Huo Long Jing article to b class.--PericlesofAthens 16:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
