Long face syndrome

edit
(

  • ... that Long face syndrome is a relatively common condition experienced by orthodontic patients with a facial deformity and often associated with open mouth breathing?

5x expanded by 7&6=thirteen (talk). Self-nominated at 14:05, 19 December 2017 (UTC).

  • 5x expanded, in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. user:7&6=thirteen, "often associated with open mouth breathing" doesn't appear to be in the article, and the entire hook is somewhat bland. How about a hook that deals with the Napoleon Dynamite reference? --Usernameunique (talk) 02:05, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Looks good. Added "that" to the front, and took out the italics since the hook is referring to the character in the movie, not the movie itself. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:19, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
  • I have pulled this from prep 3 because the hook statement was previously removed from the article by another user for sourcing issues. Gatoclass (talk) 14:04, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
That's what the source says. Put it back into the article. User:Eeng is wrong. Gatoclass is excused for pulling it, as the erroneous elimination of the source was a fact.7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:10, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Usernameunique and User:Eeng. The reliability of the source and the propriety of the removed information (which was the hook) is being discussed at Talk:Long face syndrome. I think this pulled hook is correct. Plainly, it is a reported syndrome. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:54, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
Pinging EEng with a valid link so he sees this and can respond. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Like 7&6 said this is being discussed on the article's talk page. The source for ALT1 is a paid advertisement. EEng 15:53, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
  • I have struck ALT1 because it is not supported in the article, and the source for the information is, as EEng notes, a paid advertisement masquerading as a magazine article. As such, it is useless as a reliable source. If a new hook is not supplied that is both in the article and verifiable with a reliable source, I don't see how this nomination can survive at DYK.

I don't want to kill this. How about:

EEng 02:22, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Comment Either is acceptable to me. Since only User:EEng and I have commented on the talk page, there is no consensus as to ALT 1's source. This will get the nomination off the books and onto the front page. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:40, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
I hope there are no hard feelings. I have to call 'em as I see 'em. EEng 16:22, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Half of our commenting editors disagree with you. Derailing approved nominations (which was suggested by the reviewer) does not make you a candidate for "Mr. Popularity."
You gotta do what you gotta do. I know it wasn't personal.
I also appreciated that you were not just a saboteur, but eventually came around constructively to try to clean up the mess.
As the late Professor A. J. Thomas used to start every class with: "Class, life is short." And it takes too much energy to maintain a hard on for that long. So no hard feelings. This too shall pass. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:41, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Er, um, OK... EEng 16:49, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
No hard feeling. KuTGW! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:00, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
I don't speak Klingon, sorry. We need Usernameunique back to tick A2 and/or A3. EEng 20:33, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Keep Up the Good Work! Usernameunique Please check in. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:36, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Wouldn't that be KUtGW? EEng 03:53, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to check ALT2 and ALT3, since both are acceptable to nominator. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:48, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT2 and ALT3 check out with inline citations. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:46, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
