Province of Treviso[edit]

5x expanded by Skr15081997 (talk). Self nominated at 14:11, 18 September 2014 (UTC).

  • This is a great expansion. I'm really glad to see important articles like this gain the length and depth they deserve. The DYK is almost good to go. I just feel that we can reword the hook a bit. I've provided an ALT. Let me know what you think. Also, I placed a Which? tag in the article over the term Barbarian. That's not a very encyclopedic word. Can you replace it with the type of "Barbarian" (i.e. Ostrogoths? Visigoths? Vandals?). Let me know on my talk page once you're done. Cheers, Étienne Dolet (talk) 05:59, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Expanded enough. Long enough. Hook is cited. Good to go. Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:31, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

I've pulled this from the queue and reopened the nomination, since the hook is not supported by the source, nor by any other source I could find. It was a city in Roman times, not a province, and the current province didn't exist until much later. It was part of Gallia Cisalpina (province) and Venetia (region). No name for the current province of Treviso existed in Roman times. I have discussed this at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Pulled one hook from Queue 6. Fram (talk) 11:38, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

  • ALT2 is directly supported by a suitable reference. --Pgallert (talk) 17:49, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
