[edit]

Improved to Good Article status by SounderBruce (talk). Self-nominated at 17:40, 15 March 2017 (UTC).

  • A good article promoted by the nominator on 15 March. QPQ done. The original hook may require the years to be included as the festival was cancelled from 1942–45 and again in 1949. All the four hooks are soundly referenced and if the first hook is rephrased to include the years (for clarity), that one would read better. Please ping me once the issue has been looked into. jojo@nthony (talk) 11:47, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
  • @Tachs: First hook revised, though it feels like a mouthful. ALT1 and ALT3 are the ones I feel would fare best on the front page. SounderBruce 19:38, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
@SounderBruce: Yes, I agree that the original hook lacks brevity. All the hooks are ready for promotion but I prefer ALT 1 as it implies a population explosion in a span of 20 years.jojo@nthony (talk) 03:30, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
