French cruiser Chasseloup-Laubat, French cruiser Bugeaud
( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
Pascal in 1900
- ...
that the Friant-class cruisers Chasseloup-Laubat and Bugeaud were deployed to Qing China as part of France's response to the Boxer Uprising?Jordan & Caresse, p. 218.
- Reviewed: Moncef Slaoui, J. Leo Hafen, Nymphargus grandisonae, Jimmy and Sally.
- Comment: Depending on how the GA reviews go, we might be able to add more articles to this hook, as several members of the French response fleet are in late stages of GA review now.
Improved to Good Article status by Parsecboy (talk). Nominated by The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) at 05:05, 29 May 2020 (UTC).
No issues with the articles but I find the hook a little straightforward. Maybe if Descartes and Pascal are added (if/when they pass GAN) it'll help. Otherwise it might be better to nominate separately (for example the fact that Chasseloup-Laubat was used as a cistern for drinking water imported to French Africa from the Canary Islands is interesting to me). Happy to wait to see if Descartes and Pascal can be added if you like, or else you can ask for the opinion of another reviewer. All the best - Dumelow (talk) 14:47, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Dumelow - Pascal has become a GA, so I've added it to ALT1 below and added an image.
- ALT1: ... that the French cruisers Bugeaud, Chasseloup-Laubat, Descartes, and Pascal (pictured) were deployed to East Asia as part of France's response to the Boxer Uprising in Qing China?
- @Usernameunique: How close is Descartes to becoming a GA? Will it realistically happen in the next week or so? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 07:58, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- It was passed yesterday. I've added it to the hook above (I also switched "Qing China" to "East Asia" to match the wording of the articles). I don't think Pascal has passed yet though? Otherwise everything checks out for me - 08:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Dumelow and The Squirrel Conspiracy, Pascal is awaiting minor tweaks before it is passed. Nothing Parsecboy can't handle in the "week or so" suggested by The Squirrel Conspiracy. --Usernameunique (talk) 12:41, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Whoops, I got them switched. Yeah, we're waiting on Pascal, not Descartes. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 17:40, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Pascal just passed; it'll be nice to see the four-article hook. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:35, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Dumelow, this is now a four-hook nomination, and has four QPQs. Please let me know if it's good to go. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 20:24, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

No issues here that I can see, much of the content of Descartes and Pascal is identical but there is more than 1,500 characters of unique content so tha's not an problem - Dumelow (talk) 08:01, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
