Featured Article criteria 1c requires that "Claims are supported with specific evidence and external citations...complemented by inline citations for quotations and for material that is challenged or likely to be challenged." The article has been tagged with a "Needs inline references" template for over a month now as it is lacking inline citations. Additionally, the article may not qualify as "stable" given the significant edits that appear to be ongoing. --ElKevbo 12:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm surprised that this article is FA in the first place. I notice some refs like http://www.planetherbs.com/articles/processing_chinese_herbs.htm and http://www.herbalist-alchemist.com/benefits.htm are really, just rubbish. Not WP:RS. The "Medical alchemy" section makes claims which are really unscientific. --Rifleman 82 13:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The article has several deficiencies. Besides the lack of references, there are some likely POV issues and some things that look just factually wrong. --Itub 17:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
