I have also added some Chinese coins and my oldest requests is this one:
4 Aug 2019, 06:5010 Cash - Guangxu Aksu – China - EmpirePending
Totally I have some 20 Chinese requests and much more to be added, but first I would like to have these solved.
I'm wondering what is the reason for this.
Well, pejounet is the real single referee for this place. I am not sure where he is though.
With that being said, the requests are certainly old enough for Master Referees to deal with. I modified some of the information on the page in question, but would you be able to provide the weight and diameter of your piece? I see that information is missing.
Other than that, I am just trying to find the mint. I will look more into that when I get back from school.

I also submitted some requests under China - Empire and China - Republic recently, and they are still pending.
Could any other referee give some help to pejounet to organize ancient Chinese catalog?
My older request is 4 Aug 2019, 06:50 and I have almost 20 open requestes at the moment and it is a bit difficult to continue before catalog has been modified, that's my opinion.
The oldest part of catalog needs some kind of modification and I have delivered my suggestion to PJ:
"I have been thinking about the grouping of ancient China you have. For me it looks like something is missing, I mean, where should I put Zhou early round coins (except State of Yan, which you do have), Ban Liang coins (now they are under Liang, which is not the best place for them I think) and Western Han Zhu coins?
I would like to change your groupping a bit. Group Shell could be like Shell and other pseudo money (includes fish, bridge etc), Ant Nose Money, Spade Money, Knife money, Zhou Early round coins, Ban Liang, Western Han Zhu, Wang Mang and The Three Kingdoms. Now Liang group has coins from 250 BC to 618."

I can try on China - Republic since my requests in that category is still pending after 2 months. As for ancient China and China - Empire, I would recommend referees who are experienced with pre-18th century coinage since the coin striking technique is quite different from that of today.
Speaking of China, there are no referees under Hong Kong, Kiau Chau and Tibet at the moment.
Any requests having to do with Ancient China should now be dealt with (aside from my own recent ones because they must be at least a week old before I can deal with them). If I missed any, please do not hesitate to mention them.
Out of all the eras of China, Ancient China is the one I am most confortable with. But even then... wow are there ever a lot of spades. Regardless, I will try. And I will also try my best with the Empire of China.
Regarding the format: Ancient China is a place that, I think, should be split. Currencies are out of my control, but it may be easier to deal with the currencies once this country is split. So if you can make what we have work... that would be prefered. For example: the State of Yan has its own currency. Those from the states of Chu, Qi, and Qin could also work under that currecy (just make sure you specify the actual state within the coin's title).

The coin this thread is about has been dealt with.
All requests involving Ancient China and the Empire of China have also been dealt with, with the exception of those from the Chinese Provinces (which should really be its own issuer--I already made a thread about that). I am not as confident in my abilities with coins from the Chinese Provinces or the Republic of China, so for now, I will not deal with those ones.
And... I think that means this thread is done.

I will try to keep up with these Chinese requests, but please keep in mind, I am only able to deal with requests from other referees after a week has passed. Right now, I have some requests pending under these two Chinas, but... I still must wait.
And I know there is also the issue of year-lists being marked as verified when there are additional ones needed. It is out of my power to un-verify year-lists, but it is necessary to do so nonetheless. So within Ancient China or the Empire of China, if you see any examples which need more year-lines, please send a request to change the coin's issuer to Reval (an issuer I am referee for). After a week, I can accept that, un-verify the year-lists, add the years, and move the coins back to China. It is a tedious work-around, but I have no idea where pejounet is or when he will be back. I feel a work-around is necessary here.
And if pejounet happens to comes back within a week of these requests, he can always reject them and un-verify the year-lists himself. Either way, we can get this done.
With that being said: after Livonia, my next favourite area of collecting is actually pre-Republic of China (tied with the Indian states). And I do have a Hartill catalogue. I just do not know how to type the characters on these coins. But there may be enough pre-existing pages that we can rely on copying-and-pasting.
