I, Too, Am Harvard

[edit]

Created by I am One of Many (talk). Self nominated at 16:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC).

  • Basically good to go. New, long enough, within policy, suitable hook, QPQ. One outstanding issue is the clump of references at the bottom of the "Origin" section. In particular for DYKs, all material should be directly covered by in-line citations and not just bunched up at the end. Also feel that this article reflects a bit of WP:recentism as its unclear that this project will be remembered within a few years, but it has gotten notable as well as international coverage.

  • The reason that there is a clump of reverences after the "examples sentence" is because all of these articles contain examples of the statements in the signs that can be sourced. They don't all have the same examples, so I thought for the reader who wants to follow this up, it would be good to have several sourced examples. So, my aim was to source "examples" and, of course, the particular examples. If you think it would be better, I could elaborate the content of the signs and thereby spread out the sources?

  • I think that was a good idea, but there was some confusion on my part because the first ref given in the clump did not source the examples of the signs given. So I just moved that ref further a bit so the information given better aligns with the information presented. So good to go now . Plot Spoiler (talk) 03:37, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
