The article is both long and new enough. Both the topic and the hook are interesting enough for the main page. Before going ahead, there are come in-line citation tags which need to be resolved. Also, the hook is backed by two sources, one being tagged as seld published and the other in Fr. Can you come back with a reliable source in English (though it is not mandatory)? --Mhhossein talk 07:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Mhhossein, I added two English sources, including one from the Royal Society --Global Donald (talk) 08:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Global Donald . Thanks for the change, the sources are improved now, though there's still one section with no references. By the way, can this small scale incident be called a "disaster"? --Mhhossein talk 09:54, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Probably not. Any idea of word that would be a better fit? / For the Odonomy section with a "citation needed" template, I couldn't find an article about this particular street name, but there is a photo (in the article) of the sign indicating the street and specifying that it is named after Mr. Sivel. I don't really get why a citation would be needed when the photo is in the article. There is a photo on Google Maps with exactly the same street sign to back it up: https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.8332968,2.327044,3a,15y,332.15h,91.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZvSDhHRDyfoBLYXe9DDt2g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu --Global Donald (talk) 10:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- You can name it an "incident" or whatever the reliable sources use. Please change the hook and the article text based on reliable sources. Remember not to alter the current hook, rather you need to isnert a new one called ALT1. As for your question, try to find sources talking about the two streets in Paris and consult RS for what constitutes a reliable source. Also visit WP:DYKCITE. --Mhhossein talk 04:53, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, it's done, I changed "disaster" with "incident", both in the article and the hook--Global Donald (talk) 08:41, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
