A California Border Protection Station on Interstate 15
A California Border Protection Station on Interstate 15

Created by Chetsford (talk). Self-nominated at 05:15, 18 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The "protect it against invasion" is potentially misleading, since it's not clear it refers to an agricultural pest invasion. My first assumption was that these stations were about immigration, and many readers may assume the same.
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I think the image caption could be improved. It'd be better to specify the location than to give the year the photo was taken (no one really cares that it was 2013). No copyvios (Earwig just finds a quote); article is neutral and adequately cited. Once the wording is tweaked, this will be good to go. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 18:00, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wording in caption changed. I think the ambiguity of the hook is what makes it interesting, right? Though factual and inline cited some people may, like yourself, make more fantastical assumptions and be inspired to click the link to learn more. I'm not sure there's much of an interesting hook that could be created about noxious weed control. Nonetheless, I've begrudgingly proposed an ALT.

regulation of interstate commerce

[edit]

There should be some discussion of regulation of interstate commerce by a state—the Constitution frowns on that. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 00:19, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
