  • ... that the term "national home" in the Balfour Declaration is considered to have been intentionally ambiguous?

Improved to Good Article status by Oncenawhile (talk). Self-nominated at 09:01, 16 April 2016 (UTC).

  • Long and new enough (promoted to GA-class on April 16, 2016, diff), QPQ review performed, copyvio checks reveal no problems (e.g. [1]), with matches for properly quoted content in the article, hook content is backed with an inline citation to a reliable source in the article. The only minor matter is that the first paragraph in the World War I section does not have an inline citation (see D2 of the Supplementary guidelines). North America1000 03:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
@Northamerica1000: thank you for your review. I have now added a cite for that paragraph. Oncenawhile (talk) 07:10, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Good to go. North America1000 07:27, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Not good to go at all. The article has been featured as a bold linked article "On This Day" a number of times and is ineligible for DYK. Bcp67 (talk) 19:21, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Per the OnThisDay template on the talk page and links in it, Bcp67 is correct. North America1000 22:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
