Tel Rifaat[edit]

(
)

Created/expanded by Al Ameer son (talk). Self nom at 04:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Marvel NOW!

Only a couple things are missing:

  1. QPQ for self noms - No - I didn't see a QPQ for this selfnom; user has many DKY pages.
  2. Is hook sourced at end of sentence? - No - The hook is unfortunately not sourced at end of sentence.
  3. DYK check on date, length - Yes, date and length are fine; this is a new article
  4. Every paragraph sourced - Yes, every paragraph is sourced, although there is one sentence of modern history "In the early summer of 2012, during the ongoing Syrian uprising, Syrian government authorities withdrew from Tel Rifaat and were replaced by a council made up of local Islamic scholars, judges and former Syrian Army officers" which is not sourced and probably should be.
  5. Is hook short under 200 characters - Yes, the hook is short enough.
  6. NPOV - Yes, the article is written with NPOV.
  7. Image - Not applicable: no images.

It's an interesting article which I read because the hook was interesting. With QPQ and a fix for the unsourced hook, it would have gotten a "pass" instead. Ellin Beltz (talk) 19:34, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, just reviewed Marvel NOW! (see above) and added citations to support the hook fact and the circumstances of the town during the uprising. --Al Ameer son (talk) 00:23, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Hook facts appear in article text, and are properly sourced at the end of the relevant sentence. Have changed the hook's spelling from "Tel Rifaat" to "Tell Rifaat" to conform to the recent spelling change in the article. Rest of review as per Ellin Beltz; modern history sentence is now sourced.
