Grain Fort, Grain Wing Battery, Dummy Battery

[edit]

  • These three articles are neutral and I found no close paraphrasing or other copyright issues. Two of them are new articles and long enough. The third is an expansion but I do not think the article is sufficiently expanded to qualify for DYK. Previously it had 1667B and now it has 5800B. It needs to be 8335B, if my maths is correct.

  • I'm not sure how you're working that out. Assuming you're counting Grain Fort as the third article, the expansion is from this version (256B) to [1] (5800B). The article title was previously used in error for an article on Grain Tower, which seems to often be confused with Grain Fort. Prioryman (talk) 11:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
  • I was misled by your edit summary "Reduce to stub in preparation for new article". I see now that the article is a five-fold expansion. However I do not find inline citations supporting the hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:56, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Good point, I've added a couple of cited lines to each of Grain Wing Battery and Dummy Battery which should resolve this. The existing source for the paragraphs in question (i.e. Kent's Defence Heritage – Gazetteer Part One) covers the added content. Prioryman (talk) 21:33, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Good, this nomination is now ready to go forward. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:01, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
