  • New enough and long enough. Quite surprised to see this kind of Washington article from a user not named APK! Hook fact checks out in source. No textual or copyvio issues ("listed on the NRHP" throws Earwig for more of a loop than it should). Image is libre-licensed. Ready for the Main Page.

  • Not "recent", per
    WP:DYKHOOK: "The hook should include a definite fact that is unlikely to change". Try "March 2024" instead. Otherwise, nice article (although I'm not quite sure how comfortable I am actually reviewing this, given I'm the one that put the hook there!)--Launchballer 08:31, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Full review needed.--Launchballer 08:51, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I'm really sorry to be so anal about this, but there is an outside chance there could be more than one this year, so it should really give the month.--Launchballer 09:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the requirement, and could add the month, but in this case I believe the year is sufficient. As a member of the affiliate that organised the Wikicon, I know that this was the annual Wikicon - ie the only one for 2024. The next one is planned to be in Christchurch in 2025.

Launchballer, it seems to me that you're involved. The nomination isn't even two weeks old; I wouldn't worry about "oldest fully unreviewed nom"; it will get picked up by someone else soon enough. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article is new and long enough. Sourcing looks good and Earwig raises no concerns. Hook is interesting and sourced in the article. Photo is clear, licensing looks good, and works amazingly with the hook (I'd love to see this as the image hook). QPQ done so we are good to go.

Painting from outsider art flat Ron's Place

Source: BBC: "Now, supporters of Ron’s Place, including singer Jarvis Cocker, are trying to raise money to buy his old flat and turn it into a space for artists." The Guardian: "Catherine Croft, the director of the Twentieth Century Society, said Ron’s Place was '20th century heritage unlike any other, the first example of outsider art to be nationally listed'."

Minotaur from Ron's Place
Minotaur from Ron's Place
  • Article is new enough and long enough. It is well-sourced, neutral, presentable, and BLP-compliant. Earwig checks out. Images are freely licensed (I'm assuming these are eligible under Commons:COM:FOP UK as a public interior and works of artistic craftsmanship). The hook is cited and interesting. I've added the Minotaur image as an option per the talk page discussion. Both images are clear at a small size. QPQ has been done. gobonobo + c 12:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • To be honest, I really don't understand the main hook or ALT1. Why are "giant" and "make" in italics? It kind of looks like the word order got scrambled. Pinging

WP:DYKCOMPLETE.--Launchballer 10:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
@Launchballer: I've added a reference to the first half of the quote and moved a sentence. I'm not sure which other paragraphs strike you as not DYKCOMPLETE, I think the only single-sentence paragraph now is the one on legality. I could find no other (reliable) sources addressing legality, though I think it worth mentioning that it is banned in South Korea. gobonobo + c 16:10, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the source, that could easily be expanded. I wonder if it's worth knocking it and the paragraph together into a general 'Usage' section?--Launchballer 16:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I could use some clarification. I'm not sure which paragraph you are referring to or which source. Is the issue a matter of how sections/paragraphs are arranged or is there an aspect that is not reasonably complete? This source mentions the 2005 ban in South Korea but makes no mention of legality in other countries. gobonobo + c 17:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did mean that source. What I meant was that the source says "According to a report, South Korea alone imported over 8000 kg of mad honey from Nepal during 2003–04 and then, further import was banned by the Korean government in 2005." The 'imported over 8000 kg' bit could go into the article. I'm not holding the nom up for it though, and given that I've merged it into the above section myself I can pass this.--Launchballer 15:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

QPQ: No - Not done
Overall: @PCN02WPS: Nice work on this article. The copyvio detector highlighted a few phrases, but they seem to be proper names or common phrases. Everything else checks out policy-wise. Just waiting on the 2 QPQs. Epicgenius (talk) 17:54, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Re Earwig's comparison of Harrogate War Memorial: it only picks up proper names and a quotation beginning "one of the first British servicewomen...", which is properly signified as a quotation, and attributed in the article. As far as I am aware, there is no poor paraphrasing or copyvio in that article. Storye book (talk) 09:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • What about phrases like "was unveiled on 1 September 1923"?-
    WP:WAWARD) 14:07, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • ALT1: ... that Harrogate War Memorial (pictured), by Ernest Prestwich, names 1163 casualties of the First and Second World Wars, of whom 300 have unknown graves, and the youngest was 15 years old? (source as ALT0 above).
  • I have removed the dodgy numbers from the article. The plaques were removed, rewritten and replaced in 1948, and who knows whether they have been corrected (or just misread) since then. The name-counts were probably all correct in their day. Harrogate Civic Society counted them last, and they had two people spending five years on the study of all the war dead mentioned, ending in 2023, so they have the best chance of being up to date and correct.

  • Article upgraded to GA-status. However, the hook is mentioned in both introduction and in the investigation section with mention as "personal notoriety" rather than "trolling". However, I am with assumption that both have the same meaning and hence, the article is good to go. - Toadboy123 (talk) 09:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC).[reply]
FWIW, They're two different things, but the "trolling" bit is mentioned only in the March 2016 FBI section. The personal notoriety part was mentioned by the sheriff in the post-shooting investigation.
The part in the article where this same information is put is this: "He convinced FBI investigators that he was simply "trolling", and that he was "not the type to actually do any of this stuff". Cited to the same source for the first half of the sentence, which is the relevant part. PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:57, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
