  • Hi, @RandomCanadian:, thanks for reviewing. Please be aware that reviewers cannot promote the articles they approve to the prep sets. Since you didn't close this template, I'll just leave it here until another prep builder comes along. Best, Yoninah (talk) 21:32, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The nom didn't suggest an ALT. I don't think that "... has a route, often called the BMX track, created specifically for mountain bikes" sounds less news-facty; but of course if you disagree feel free to change it. @Smeggle: Courtesy ping for your opinion on this.

  • @RandomCanadian: Please see WP:DYK#Content: When you write the hook, please make it "hooky", that is, short, punchy, catchy, and likely to draw the readers in to wanting to read the article — as long as they don't misstate the article content. Our job as reviewers is make sure the hook is "hooky" in addition to meeting all the other criteria. Yoninah (talk) 21:16, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, I find both suggestions more or less equally hooky, if you disagree, feel free to change it, I'm neutral on the matter. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:17, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative suggestion:

Given that "hooky" is a completely subjective concept (and not even a real word) it does not seem fair to reject a nomination based on lack of hookiness, whatever that even means. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:14, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as I said, I do not find a problem with this hook, so as far as I'm concerned it's approved but if you have suggestions such as that one feel free to improve upon it. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:19, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well now that's properly hooky... Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:33, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I just shortened it to under 200 char. Could you approve it? Yoninah (talk) 20:34, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if my wording was not explicit enough, pro forma: Approved ALT1a. Thanks, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:37, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! We're a rules-oriented bunch here at DYK, you know. Yoninah (talk) 21:09, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed

[edit]

@Paul W: The only reliable sources I have for these buildings being demolished is their disappearance from old maps. I will try and find a way to cite these. There is also this planning report for the local authority which goes into quite some detail, but not sure how reliable that would be considered. As for the church burning down, that is local knowledge and I have as yet not found a reliable source for, so this may need to come out! Thanks for your attention to the article — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:24, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would regard that planning report as a reliable source. I have certainly used similar documents in articles about other places. Paul W (talk) 12:54, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
