Tower of History

Tower of History

Moved to mainspace by Michael Barera (talk). Self-nominated at 22:53, 15 April 2018 (UTC).

General eligibility:

For an article moved to the mainspace, the "new"/"past seven days" criterion applies to the date the article was moved to the mainspace, not created in userspace, correct? Michael Barera (talk) 00:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Policy compliance:

I've removed a couple cases of close paraphrasing; upon checking for copyvios now, it appears that nearly everything that is coming up now constitutes proper nouns. Michael Barera (talk) 00:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - Initial hook is 208 characters long, but discounting the ... and (pictured) it is within the character limit. ALT1 is within the 200 character limit ALT1 hook is more interesting than the the initial hook
Good catch. I've struck out the primary hook, so we can just go with ALT1. Michael Barera (talk) 00:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

QPQ: No - QPQ was done on 8 January, however the creator/nominator of the article has had 4 DYK credits since that QPQ, there it is unclear if there has been sufficient QPQs since then to count as one for this nomination

I "bank" my DYK reviews in my sandbox, and always try to have 4 of them in my bank at one time, which considering that I also try to submit one DYK nomination a month means that my QPQ reviews occur about 4 months before I use them for my nominations. You can check my sandbox history and see how they cycle through over time. Hopefully, this makes sense. Michael Barera (talk) 00:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Overall: Article is new enough, is 2,899 characters long, and appears to be well sourced. @Michael Barera: please clarify on the QPQ issue.

Thanks for the review, RightCowLeftCoast! I've addressed each of your questions above. Michael Barera (talk) 00:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC) RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:24, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
@Michael Barera: I will assume good faith on the bank thing, as I have not seen someone do that before. As for the move to mainspace, it's fine; just by moving it it doesn't show a clear delineation unless one knows where to look; again it's fine, just different from what I am use to seeing. On the copyvio, 12.3 is fine, but the additional edits helped. Another reviewer is now needed to recheck.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:40, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
  • Rechecking as requested: New enough when nominated; long enough; no copyvio, paraphrasing, or plagiarism detected; uses inline cites in more than sufficient number to meet DYK policy. Hook ALT1 is multiply cited to reliable sources, is short enough, is neutral, and is reasonably interesting. Image is freely licensed, and shows up OK at 100 x 100 pixels. QPK done. This is good to go with ALT1. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 11:52, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
