- Article created on 6 May, moved to main space on 19 May, and DYK nominated on the same day. So fits the 7 day range. QPQ is done. Hook length is less than 200 characters. Article readable prose is more than 1500 characters.
- Ref 1 mentions the cost as $31 as opposed to $34 mentioned in the article. Ref 2-15, 21-22 are all offline sources so could not verify their claims and that makes me nervous as its quite a good content. Can anything be done for this? Other sources support their claim. - Vivvt (Talk) 08:54, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Vivvt: I've corrected the figure, it seems the $34 million includes an unrelated strip mall nearby. Offline sources are just as good as online sources (especially for old newspapers that are reporting on then-current events) and can be verified through e-mail if requested. I have access to these newspapers through my public library's database, but they cannot be shared through public links. SounderBruce 19:15, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
