Lawn game

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the lawn games of bocce and bowls became popular during the Renaissance in England?

• Reviewed: Lees Creek (Lackawanna River)

5x expanded by Northamerica1000 (talk). Self-nominated at 04:59, 7 June 2015 (UTC).

• Comment: A small amount of content in the article was copied from Pétanque and Sholf (only). When omitting this from the character count, the article still qualifies as being expanded 5x. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:02, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

• Not yet ready. New enough expansion, long enough, within policy. No apparent close copyvio -- though I recall there is some rule re copying from other wp articles/attribution; someone may want to weigh in on that if they see an issue there that I can't recall. I copy-edited "The Renaissance period" to "the Renaissance". Hook is fine and supported with inline citation. QPQ needed. Epeefleche (talk) 20:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

• @Epeefleche: I did perform a QPQ review, denoted atop at Template:Did you know nominations/Lees Creek (Lackawanna River). Copy attribution was properly provided in edit summaries in the article (diff, diff). Regarding the small amount of content that was copied, WP:WIADYK states, "The content with which the article has been expanded must be new content, not text copied from other articles." As stated above, when omitting in entirety the small amount of content that was copied, the article was still expanded way over five fold. For example, compare this version at 205 characters with this version at 3009 characters, the latter of which occurred before any copying occurred. The article was expanded over 14x prior to any copying. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:37, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

• Whoops -- NA, you are absolutely correct about the QPQ. Apologies. All looks good to go. (BTW-that rule should, I think, have an exception for when the same editor writes material used in two articles ... but that's just a tangent). Sorry for the confusion.

• Hi, I came to promote this but am confused by the source for the hook. It seems to imply that bocce and bowls are the same thing: Lawn bowling. Yoninah (talk) 00:17, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

• Here's an alt below to clarify. Struck the initial hook. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:43, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

• ALT1: ... that the lawn game bocce became popular during the English Renaissance?

• That sounds good. I adjusted the hook. Restoring tick based on Epeefleche's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:33, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
