- ALT1:... that Jamaica High School was once the United States' largest public high school?

Although technically, this refers to the building, not the school population.
5x expanded by Tdorante10 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 18:43, 19 July 2017 (UTC).
Article was created more than seven days ago, on January 10, 2006. Unless there is some other compelling reason I am not aware of, this will unfortunately not qualify. Gryffindor (talk) 20:54, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Gryffindor: I think there is a mistake. It is a 5x expansion from before recent edits, not an article creation, which is another qualifying criterion per WP:DYKRULES. epicgenius (talk) 00:19, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, I understand now. Gryffindor (talk) 12:36, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

- @Gryffindor: Thanks for doing the review. For checking the copyvios, there is a link in the toolbox at the top right of the page. It goes to https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/.
Also, I have not done a QPQ yet (I originally had one, but had to transfer the review to another nomination, so I have to do a second QPQ). Never mind, I did another QPQ, so I'll revert myself. epicgenius (talk) 17:45, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Pick whichever hook you prefer for this school and I'll sign off on it. Gryffindor (talk) 19:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- I'd prefer the main hook. Thanks for doing this review. epicgenius (talk) 02:49, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
- And so it shall be. From my part it's ready to go. Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 08:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
