Overall: 
Interesting article. One of my main complaints is that of the sources should be formatted properly. Many are written in Chinese and should be specified as such, and many only have urls, titles, and websites (i.e. missing dates, access dates, authors, etc.). Nevertheless, the main hook is interesting enough, although when I used Google Translate on the provided source, it didn't explicitly say the hook, all I found was I don't have a phone in my hometown, and I don't want to go back. Unless I'm misreading it (or Google Translate is failing me), is there another source that explicitly supports the main hook? ALT2 is the more interesting hook of the two (to me) and is sourced, although I would reword it to something like ... that Liu Shasha was the youngest winner of the WPA Women's World Nine-ball Championship at age 16? – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:36, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- Whoops, ref is this one:- ,
Furthermore, Liu Shasha doesn't even have a mobile phone yet. "What's the point of a mobile phone? I can just use a landline to call home. Besides, I have very poor self-control. If I had one, I'd definitely be playing games or surfing the internet all the time, and I wouldn't be able to play billiards well."
