Oxford Blue (cheese)

(

)

... ~~that in 2004, Oxford University tried to block registration of Oxford Blue cheese as a trademark, because "Oxford Blue" is well known as a sporting award?~~

Date, length and hook all OK. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 13:25, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Pulled from queue1 and reopened per WT:DYK#Queue1: 2004 or 2002?. The source in the article states that the case was about the cheese, but it has become clear that this was an error in that source. Fram (talk) 07:08, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Struck hook per discussion at WT:DYK#Queue1: 2004 or 2002?. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

New review needed per the above. See the alt below. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:41, 16 September 2016 (UTC

ALT1: ... that in 2013, the production of Oxford Blue cheese created around 50,000 litres of waste whey per month, which was processed using an anaerobic digester?
This article is new enough and still long enough after removal of the Oxford University information mentioned above. The ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright problems. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:12, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this for DYK, but I feel that the hook and the article are a bit vague on what the anaerobic digester is doing to the waste whey. According to the source, it turns the waste into electricity, which is a far hookier fact IMO. Yoninah (talk) 19:22, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Sources do not state that the anaerobic digester is used to make electricity at the dairy. This source states, "Now it seems there could be another way. He said: “In the last few days we have heard that there is a farm nearby that has an anaerobic digester – a machine used to make electric power from waste, which might be suitable to accept the whey", but does not state that it's being used to generate electricity at the dairy, and this source has no information about electrical generation. As such, it would be inaccurate to state that electricity is being generated from the anaerobic digester there, because no sources state this. Also, the sources do not state much else about the anaerobic digester, so there's not much else to actually state about it in the hook. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:09, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah: The anaerobic digester is processing the whey so as to turn it into disposable by-products. I suggest we just leave the hook as it is. (The traditional method of disposing of whey was by feeding it to pigs, which turned it into meat and slurry!) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:23, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Northamerica1000 I read that source, and I know it didn't connect what they would do to the waste whey with what they did with their waste, but I was hoping there was another source that would talk about it. I'm happy to restore the tick for ALT1 per Cwmhiraeth's review. I'm sure readers will click on anaerobic digester, too! Yoninah (talk) 11:26, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
