  • Comment: This won't appear on DYK on 11 February, consensus on WT:DYK was to not take part in any of the surveillance proposals as it would be a NPOV violation. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:18, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
The nominator now has "Semi-retired" on his user page and talk pages. The review used as QPQ was only three words: "Appropriate link, interesting". So it does not qualify as QPQ, but the nominator did not have enough DYKs to need a QPQ anyway. I reviewed The Elsrtee Project. — Maile (talk) 17:51, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Given recent issues with close paraphrasing and copyvio from this author—see WT:DYK#ACLU v. Clapper—this nomination should not be approved without a thorough check in these areas. Potential reviewers please take note. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
In addition to being "retired", the editor was blocked indefinitely on Feb 13, so he couldn't currently resolve any issues on this nomination if he wanted to. — Maile (talk) 01:05, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Dull hook. What else would a surveillance network do? Or be? Daniel Case (talk) 07:11, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

  • The content issues remain unaddressed, and are coupled with the unresolved block. The editor appears unlikely to return in the near future,[1][2] and other editors have not come forward in more than a week to address issues. It therefore seems to me that this nomination will not be promoted. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 15:18, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
