Edit Conflict
- EpicPupper: Can you state why you are exempt from QPQ? Article promoted to Good Article on 6 May, 7654 characters of readable prose. Copvio tool reveals violations are unlikely [[1]] and much of the common phrasing is due to proper noun usage. Article has sufficient citations and appears neutral. The hook is mildly interesting but the grammar is clumsy due to hook format (I'm not sure about the rules on this). Also, only part of the park was to be leased. What about, "...that part of Waterloo Park was to be leased for a shoe factory, in a 1911 planning proposal?" Hook cited on line here [[2]

Ykraps, EpicPupper is exempt from QPQ because it's only his/her second nomination, and QPQs aren't required until after the fifth. Is the copyedited hook better now? If so, can you please indicate your approval with a tick? MeegsC (talk) 20:53, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MeegsC: Yep, everything looks good to go. Is there any way of checking QPQ exemption, other than reviewing all of a user's contributions?--Ykraps (talk) 05:20, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ykraps, yes! There's a handy-dandy widget in the DYK toolbox. Copy the nominator's name, click on the QPQ check tool, paste the nominator's name in the box, and see whether or not they have more than 5 credits. If so, they need to do a QPQ. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. MeegsC (talk) 07:14, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Got it! Thanks. --Ykraps (talk) 05:06, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
