Moved to mainspace by MelanieN (talk). Self-nominated at 00:12, 13 December 2020 (UTC).
This article is new enough (3 days) and long enough (per the tool). The second hook is not reflected by the article or by the article's source (the reference is to where it stood on the list 19 years ago, not now--that's way too long a difference to support that hook's assertion). But the first hook is supported by an online article if I assume good faith (I cannot see it myself, and the nominator did not provide the precise language of the quote). The article is neutral. I did not detect any copyright issues. I would suggest that a decision be made as to whether it is proper to link to a name in a quote as is done in the last sentence to the name of the book but not the name of the author (Dickens), and that the approach be consistent as to both, which it is not now. A QPQ has been done. Request is for LaVon Mercer. 2604:2000:E010:1100:8813:945C:33AD:2B50 (talk) 09:09, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your prompt and thoughtful review! I have added a link to Dickens per your suggestion. And I added a supporting quote to the relevant reference for the hook; I forgot that the reference was behind a paywall. I don't understand your comment "Request is for LaVon Mercer."
- Excellent. No remaining issues or questions. As to my comment - forgive me if I got this wrong - I was just trying to indicate for which article and potential dyk I was performing the review. Have a great Sunday.2604:2000:E010:1100:8813:945C:33AD:2B50 (talk) 16:18, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- I wonder if we should try to get this on the main page before Christmas? -- MelanieN (talk) 16:07, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- @MelanieN: Can we use this on Christmas? We have very few special occasion hooks for that day. Yoninah (talk) 16:49, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah: Funny, I was just posting the suggestion at Talk:DYK that this could be a Christmas item for you. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:28, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- @MelanieN: Yes, we overlapped. So I'll move it to Christmas. Yoninah (talk) 17:30, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
