Midleton College[edit]

  • Reviewed: Sumedha
  • Comment: New on redirect

Created by Moonraker (talk). Self-nominated at 03:06, 26 April 2019 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall:

  • I initially had concerns with a blog article being used as a source, but the blog's About page suggests Tony Harpur may be considered a subject-matter expert for sourcing purposes. Something like a book is still preferable as a source though.
  • Lead section can be expanded but otherwise does not affect DYK eligibility
  • Nominated one day late, but whatever

Thanks, feminist. Yes, I went through the same thought process with midletonwith1d, and as it's by a historian I thought it would do for now. It's actually the best online source there is, only the Trevor West book is better, and I don't have that to hand. I have taken out the uncited sentence, surprisingly I can't find a good source for it. Moonraker (talk) 04:44, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
