(
)
  • ... that William Maurice built a three-story library just for his personal book collection?

Created by Doug Coldwell (talk). Self nominated at 21:21, 15 December 2014 (UTC).

  • ALT1:... that William Maurice built a three-story library known as "The Study" just for his personal book collection, now an important part of The National Library of Wales?
  • - Good to Go! Meets all DYK requirements. New article, long enough, timely nominated: Brought on line, created and nominated on December 15. Brought out of Doug Coldwell's sandbox. QPQ confirmed. The article meets core policies and guidelines. Every paragraph is (over) cited.
Hook references verified and all the hooks including the ALT are cited. Three sources are: Jones, Evan David (2009). MAURICE , WILLIAM (d. 1680 ). The National Library of Wales. {{cite encyclopedia}}: |work= ignored (help); Williams, Robert (1836). A Biographical Sketch of some of the most eminent individuals which the principality of Wales has produced since the Reformation. With an addenda, etc.; and Williams, Robert (1852). A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Welshmen: From the Earliest Times to the Present, and Including Every Name Connected with the Ancient History of Wales ... William Rees.
No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing. Earwig's Copy violation detector.
ALT1 Hook is 138 characters.
The ALT hook relates directly to the essence of the article. No problems with the hook: interesting, decently neutral, and cited. Nice and meticulous article. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:25, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Strike my original hook, as I like ALT1 submitted much better.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:43, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Independent reviewer needed to check ALT1 hook; since it was created by 7&6=thirteen, it cannot also be approved by 7&6=thirteen. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:47, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
Comment - The reference is in the article and can be found here. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:12, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Comment - I would think only ALT1 needs to be checked, as the article has already been reviewed and approved.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:02, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
  • New – Created and nominated on 15th Dec.
  • Long enough – the prose portion is at least 1,500 characters
  • Within policy – The article is neutral and has inline citations for all the information (though due to wide yet brief coverage of the subject it is sometimes a bit of a puzzle to see which citations match the part of the sentence - Not nominators fault - Very good researching done). I cannot find any evidence of copyright violations.
  • Hook - The inline citations don't mention the National Library of Wales but I found [this source] which mentions a Wynnstay library? The reference from the National library of Wales refers to the Peniarth Manuscripts does this refer to the collection from Hengwrt-Peniarth library? - Though this was collected by Robert Vaughan and doesn't mention that William Maurice was involved? To be honest trying to work out the puzzle of information on this was quite difficult - Again not particularly the authors fault but I don't feel the hook can be approved as its not clear from the citations if it is accurate.
  • QPQ – Done.
- Needs a bit of work to ensure the hook is cited. Otherwise a nice article and a very good number of sourced used. Good work Doug Coldwell. Let me know if you are able to make the hook citations a bit clearer. ツStacey (talk) 16:22, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
Just noticed you first Hook suggestion - I approve that one as the sources are very clear for that one. ツStacey (talk) 16:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for note = I think you saved me some work. Lets go with the first one!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:30, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
G2G with first hook suggestion! ツStacey (talk) 18:44, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
