Clarion Van No. 1
Clarion Van No. 1

Created by Madeleineog (talk). Nominated by Victuallers (talk) at 11:33, 16 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - "Clarion Van number One was named for Caroline Martyn" appears with a citation only as the caption to the image on the page. I would recommend repeating this information and citation in the main body of the text.
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: @Madeleineog and Victuallers: A very nice article! Good to go with a couple of minor changes. 1st, see above. 2nd, Wikipedia's manual of style recommends using double quotes around quotations, so it would be desirable to change from single quotes to double quotes throughout the article. My preference would be for the ALT as more hooky, as it leaves the reader wondering just what the vans were for. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 13:24, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mary Mark Ockerbloom and Victuallers: Thanks for the review Mary. Your points are useful, but obviously neither of these are essential for DYK approval and and I think this is important to note as we will make DYK more inaccessible if new articles have to comply not only with DYK requirements but every "nice to have" in an article. I notice that you don't make the changes, this is allowed, but I've made them anyway. She seems like an interesting woman so nice to see that she now has an article and the vans are now mentioned more widely. Thx again. Victuallers (talk) 15:27, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
