  •   Approved: A very nice article, expanded within the window. Both hooks are good and check out. QPQ not required. I like ALT1 better: would suggest amending ALT0 to something like "the manuscript ready for the printer to collect..." in both hook and article, as the "at Newman's door" is a little confusing and not really idiomatic for someone coming to visit him - you could even cut it in the hook, as the interesting thing is the 22-hour day, not where he handed the manuscript over. Would also suggest reworking, in the article, Newman had been accused of secretly working to convert people to Catholicism while outwardly professing to be Anglican, and this belief persisted even after his conversion to Catholicism in 1845, as he would hardly be accused of outwardly professing Anglicanism after he had publicly converted to Catholicism. Still, none of these points should be an obstacle at this stage. Good work. UndercoverClassicist T·C 05:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@UndercoverClassicist: Thank you for your review and the kind words, and sorry for disappearing for a couple of days! Those two sentences that you pointed out were definitely the ones I had the most difficulty phrasing (my original draft of that second sentence you mentioned implied that he was still Anglican when he wrote the Apologia!). I've rephrased the sentences in the article, hopefully for the better. As for the hooks, I have no preference, so if you prefer alt1, I'm fine just going with that rather than trying to improve alt0. (Also, looking at the source again, it's not clear if it should be "manuscript" or "proof" - I just had "pamphlet" in the article. Probably better just to avoid that altogether in the hook.)

  •   Review: (1) article is new enough - nominated 3 days following promotion to GA; (2) article is long enough; (2) promoted to GA so assumed policy compliant; (3) copvio looks OK, with most similar text identified as being in quotes, so no issues; (4) Article is presentable; (5) hooks are both cited to independent source (both with a stated editorial policy), and are cited in the article; (6) Not my area, but both hooks are of interest. I have struck the first hook to create ALT0a below - this is just a minor change to clarify "it was said" rather than "it was". I'll leave it to the Promoter to choose the preferred hook.

    • I think its subjective. Lots of NFL players come from unfortunately backgrounds. For example, Colin Kaepernick's mother put him up for adoption. But if you think its interesting, I'm fine. Do you think there is anything more interesting about Welschof? If not, I'll pass this nomination.VR (Please ping on reply) 17:25, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
      • I kind of thought it interesting, especially as only 3% of NFL players are not American (i.e. being from a foreign country is rare by itself, but being from a foreign country + having such an occupation as factory worker even more rare which sounded interesting to me at least) – but if not, we might also be able to do something about Welschof not playing football until he was 16 in Germany and now being in the NFL – would that be any better?

The point of a hook is to be short and sweet, and leave just a little mystery, enticing the reader to click through to the article.

  •   New article that was created on 6 May 2024‎‎‎ is 2,548 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quotes that have all been cited; AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 106 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 4 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from The Scotsman. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:56, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Laura Veale edit

(
)
  • Source: Several, including: Harrogate Advertiser: "Hampsthwaite commemorates North Yorkshire’s first female doctor Laura Sobey Veale". Note: This fact has had to be carefully interpreted. It was initially expressed as "the first Yorkshire woman to become a doctor" on the brown plaque, pictured in the article and written by the eminent Harrogate historian Malcolm Neesam. He meant "Yorkshire-born". However it has since been interpreted to mean that she was the first female doctor to practise in Yorkshire, which would be incorrect. Edith Pechey was the first qualified woman doctor to practise in Yorkshire, but she was born in Essex, so to local understanding she was definitely not a "Yorkshire woman" (they are very parochially-minded here). Veale was born in Yorkshire.

  •   The article was moved to mainspace yesterday, so is new enough. It is far more than long enough and properly uses in-line citations (perhaps even more so than necessary for some sentences). The copyvio detector doesn't find anything other than names of things and quotes that are properly used in the article. The hook is short enough, interesting, and is cited inline. The QPQ has been done and there's no image to review. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 20:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Thank you for the review, Silver seren Re the "even more so than necessary", you'll find that some experienced editors are doing that for a good reason. For example, if you have a "first" in the article, that is going to be automatically questioned and double-checked, and rightly so. Therefore, it is worth finding as many different, independent sources as possible for that "first" and including them all in the article. There is also the fact that some sources may be accessible to some readers (e.g. readers with a subscription, readers in the UK, etc.) and some source may not be accessible to all (e.g. readers outside the UK or without subscription), so it's worth giving them a few alternative sources. A third reason is that various sources give different aspects to the same fact, and some sources also include extra facts which the editor chooses not to include in the article, but which are extremely interesting. In the cast of historical articles, contemporary sources may give the historical standpoint on the matter. Extra sources containing additional facts may also allow other editors to expand the article. Nothing is wasted in this particular article, and there is a reason for everything.

  •   Looks to be easily verifiable, but "relatively complete" should be mentioned somewhere in the wiki article. While I would prefer the article be organized into sections, I don't think that's a requirement for DYK. Just resolve the "citation needed" issues first before I approve it. And yes, I do see the comment. PrimalMustelid (talk) 12:39, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Toadspike I would suggest that the first sentence should mention Yunxian Man, otherwise the article may fail the presentability test. I notice that the article was moved this morning, so it may be a work in progress. TSventon (talk) 15:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you both for your comments, I have improved the article to resolve them. It is still a little bit of a work in progress, as there is a lot more information in the sources than I originally anticipated, but I'm going for DYK, not GA, so it should be okay as is :D Toadspike (talk) 12:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  The article quality's a start, so I'll approve for DYK. PrimalMustelid (talk) 15:59, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Comment:   I added an alternative hook since the American state is mentioned twice so it won't be classified as redundancy. Also, "home town" is combined since it's one word.

@JuanGLP, thank you, I prefer your hook so I have struck mine. Also, the reason for "unlikely" from Earwig is because the 22.5% similarity is coming from a quote in the "Career" section, properly enclosed in quotes and attributed via citation. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 17:40, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
To eliminate redundancy of the word "train", perhaps the last three words "to train on" could be removed? --Habst (talk) 17:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
