Tom Luckey[edit]
- ... that Tom Luckey, creator of multi-story climbing structures known as Luckey Climbers, is paralyzed from the neck down?
Created/expanded by Derekeil (talk), DoriSmith (talk). Self nom at 04:59, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
I have not seen any record of such expansion on June 10, and I do not see any log of transferal from non-article namespace ("User:", e.g.) to main namespace. Therefore, I moved this nomination page to June 6, the day this article was born. By the way, I think you haven't read this from the page of nominations: "Create a subpage for your new DYK suggestion and then list the page below under the date the article was created or the expansion began (not the date you submit it here), with the newest dates at the bottom." --George Ho (talk) 05:19, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- Also, I credited Derekeil as a starter of this article. --George Ho (talk) 23:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- I've started reviewing this but haven't yet looked at the sources. Interim note: new enough, long enough (prose portion just under 1600 characters), interesting hook. But the article only talks about the Lucky Climbers. To cover the topic adequately, it needs to cover his other work, as mentioned in the intro: "Luckey has also created toys, furniture, merry-go-rounds, and interiors." I will see what I can find when I look at the sources, but I don't know how soon today I'll have the necessary time, so if either of you sees this and can remedy that first, it would be faster :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 16:10, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
References all check out, no close paraphrasing found, hook fact is referenced. I added a bit about interior design and carousels, and some other details, using references that were already in the article, and found a reference (though not a good one) for the one film award that was unreferenced; the web page cited in our article on Sidewalk, which lists it, is no longer there. I've commented out toys pending addition of a reference for it; I didn't notice any mention of that in the sources, but I could have missed it. Good to go!
