  • ... that Antares Point at Antares, Arizona, part of Route 66, is the longest continuous curve on any United States Highway? Source: A few, in article, including [1] and Hoekstra, Dave (2018). The Camper Book: A Celebration of a Moveable American Dream.
    • ALT1:... that Antares has a 14-foot-tall (4.3 m) green head (pictured)? Source: several, visible
    • ALT2:... that a local legend says the Antares ship in Star Trek was named after Antares, Arizona, a village with a population of 126? Source: Hoekstra, Dave (2018). The Camper Book: A Celebration of a Moveable American Dream and 2010 census

  • Comment: Image is not in article, but this one gives a clearer indication of its size (while the one in the article shows it front-on for those purposes)

  • Article looks good, and appropriate citations are used. I hesitate to approve ALT1, since the referenced image is not in the article. ALT2 is arguably the most interesting hook, but I cannot verify the claim since the source is a book; I assume good faith here and trust that the local legend is true. ALT0 is the most verifiable fact and the "safest bet" IMO. DYK requirements met. Only concern, besides those raised above, are the QPQ, which seems to have been completed back in April--just checking that this isn't a reuse of an older review? If not, I will approve ALT0 and ALT2 (with good faith), with a preference towards ALT0. Yerkes-Dodson (talk) 00:05, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks! No, not a re-used review, I've done a lot of DYK reviews and not been proposing many hooks recently. Kingsif (talk) 00:20, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Great, all seems good to me then! Yerkes-Dodson (talk) 05:36, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
