George Armstrong (ice hockey)

edit

2x expanded and sourced (BLP) by Connormah (talk), Resolute (talk). Nominated by Connormah (talk) at 06:13, 5 February 2014 (UTC).

  • I've performed a QPQ review (unsure if both of us need to). Also offering an alt to simplify the wording. Resolute 02:07, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
*ALT:... that George Armstrong scored the final goal in the National Hockey League's "Original Six" era to clinch the 1967 Stanley Cup?
  • The 2x BLP expansion can only be used if there are no references and no external links to sources; this has external links. However, it isn't necessary: the article was expanded from 1204 prose characters to just over 10000 prose characters in the five days prior to nomination (bytes are irrelevant; it's prose characters that are counted for DYK), which far exceeds the 5x expansion required. The review is not complete: it needs to also cover neutrality, hook sourcing (are all hook facts inline sourced by the end of the sentence in which they occur?) and article sourcing (generally at least one inline source per paragraph), close paraphrasing, etc. (The criteria for DYKs are listed above the edit window on this template.)

  • I see. Modified ALT supplied. The content seems well-sourced and neutral. The fact that the Original Six era ended in 1967 is a well established fact. Does that need a separate citation?--GrapedApe (talk) 03:42, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
  • ALT2 or ALT3 are both fine by me. Thanks for the review. – Connormah (talk) 07:33, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm not entirely sure why this was promoted with an outstanding question and my ? icon still in force; I'm reiterating it for clarity. In answer to GrapedApe, I believe that there should be a source that specifies that the era called "Original Six" ended with the end of the 1967 Stanley Cup (or the end of that season). Source 25 covers the rest of the hook facts, but if source 8 does not specifically cover that it was the last goal of Original Six (or that Original Six ended with the 1967 Cup) then a reliable source citation must be added there that does.

  • Apologies, parsing error on my part/ -- Ohc ¡digame! 05:53, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Erm, Reference eight does cover that fact. In fact, it is a specific statement made in the book. Resolute 14:18, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Good to know, Resolute. Thanks for the confirmation. (It isn't an online source, or I would have checked myself.) GrapedApe, is your review complete? I notice you don't mention having checked for close paraphrasing; are there any checks left for you to do? (Take a look above the edit window when you're in the editor on this page, which lists all the criteria and thus what you should have checked.) If not, it's time to close the review by including the appropriate icon at the beginning, and stating which of the hooks have passed the checks and can safely be used.

  • I did not detect any close paraphrasing. This seems good to go. --GrapedApe (talk) 03:47, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
