This DYK? nomination appears to be good enough to go right now! Futurist110 (talk) 23:56, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Futurist110, your review here is incomplete and does not qualify as a QPQ for you. Please include details of your review, per DYK review instructions please begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed.

- The QPQ is done already, and the article is detailed and sourced enough. George Ho (talk) 16:34, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- Caponer's QPQ listed above is fine and qualifies for his QPQ on this nomination. The above note of mine was meant for Futurist110 not being able to claim this as a QPQ, as that editor's "review" does not give any details, so there is no indication a real review was done. I tweaked the wording a little, and hope I cleared things up. I surely did not mean that as any comment on Caponer's QPQ. — Maile (talk) 19:08, 20 January 2014 (UTC):
- Must remove the checkmark from my review: I didn't realize that ALTs should be added. I looked at the hook and was unimpressed. George Ho (talk) 16:43, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- Since there is not a suggested alternative to the original nominated hook, I've come up with the following two alternatives. Please re-review and certify one of the below alternative hooks--I'll be content with whichever the reviewing editor chooses. -- Caponer (talk) 22:28, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that the United States Post Office Department established a post office at Valley, West Virginia in 1928, and shuttered it only nine years later?
- ALT2: ... that the land upon which Valley, West Virginia developed was originally part of Lot Number 17 of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron's South Branch Survey?
- Since there is not a suggested alternative to the original nominated hook, I've come up with the following two alternatives. Please re-review and certify one of the below alternative hooks--I'll be content with whichever the reviewing editor chooses. -- Caponer (talk) 22:28, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- The QPQ is done already, and the article is detailed and sourced enough. George Ho (talk) 16:34, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- Both ALT hooks are mentioned in the article and sourced. Caponer's QPQ was done on Dec 23. Article moved from User:Caponer/Valley, West Virginia on January 16, 2014 and is 6,996 characters of readable prose. Dup detector run on sourcing found no issues. Every paragraph sourced. — Maile (talk) 22:43, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
