Overall:
Passes DYK checklist. Outstanding article with at least 4 times the characters required. Hook checks out in references.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:40, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
The paragraph under Craters needs a cite, per DYK rules. Yoninah (talk) 23:22, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- I couldn't find a source so I took it out for now. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 00:20, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
OK, thanks. Restoring tick per Doug Coldwell's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:35, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
Pulled from prep because the hook, at 222 characters, is far too long. Please propose a new hook that fits, after which it can be reviewed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:35, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, oops. I should have checked before I proposed it. How about this: Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 05:24, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
I count 192 characters for ALT1. Under the 200 max. Hook checks in references.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:52, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
- ALT1 was altered after it was approved to claim southeastern Nigeria—please don't edit approved hooks but give a new ALT if you feel change is needed—but "southeastern" does not appear anywhere in the article. I've just deleted the word and also restored "mythological figures", because it's not at all clear that Meng Po is properly a deity. If the hook is again altered in a way that makes it no longer supported in the article and/or references, I'll have to supersede the most recent approval. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:30, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry again, ALT1 was approved just minutes before I made the changes. I must be losing my edge. I updated the article to match the new alt; both sources ([1] and [2]) refer to Meng Po as a "goddess" and one of them states that the Igbo people are from eastern Nigeria. Here's the final ALT: Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 00:14, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
ALT2 has 198 characters - under the 200 max. Reference sources check for "deities".--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:42, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
- Struck ALT1 since I assume you wanted to go with ALT2.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:50, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
