... that the Columbus Quincentenary was a turning point for how the world remembered Christopher Columbus?^[1]

Created/expanded by Kardon99 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:14, 2 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Hi @Kardon99: thanks for creating this interesting article. Per WP:DYKRULES this was technically submitted too late, but I am supportive of proceeding as it is your first submission and it is very good work. The article is long enough and within policy, with good sources. The hook is interesting and appeals to a broad audience. In order to finalise this, there are two things required: (1) please could you point to the source used to support the hook, and (2) please could you add the remaining sources throughout the article where paragraphs do no have a source at the end? Regards, Onceinawhile (talk) 09:48, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Onceinawhile: the nominator has provided the hook source with a citation next to the hook. Yoninah (talk) 00:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. And I see that the required references have been added in the article too. On the hook source, I see: “While the official Quincentenary may have failed, the authors argue that it succeeded because it failed. It became a celebration of the other. Columbus is now in disgrace”. So not as explicit as the hook, but close enough. I have thus removed the word “major” from the hook as unsupported. This is now good to go.
