Blink Bonny. 1857 Epsom Derby winner

Created/expanded by Tigerboy1966 (talk). Nominated by PFHLai (talk) at 23:08, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

  • New: Yes.
  • Length: Plenty.
  • Policy: Good work. Existing citation(s) should be linked in the "one of the best" paragraph in the first section.
  • Hook format: good. (121 characters incl spaces)
  • Hook content: interesting and neutral, BUT is not specifically stated in the article, so I could not trace it to citations. – Fayenatic (talk) 14:04, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I have added comment +ref from official Epsom Derby site to clarify this point. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 14:20, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Linked citations to "one of the best" claim. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 14:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for putting in the ref. I thought I did that before nominating, but I forgot to click "save" after previewing.... silly me... Thanks, again, Tigerboy. --PFHLai (talk) 12:44, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I confirm that it's now good to go. Consider whether "Epsom Derby" (unpiped) would be clearer for an international audience than "Derby Stakes". – Fayenatic (talk) 19:49, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

I've removed the pipe and promoted the hook. Schwede66 04:51, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
