Reginald Mount edit

  • ... that Reginald Mount and partner designed a renowned anti-venereal disease campaign in 1943–1944?
  • Reviewed: tbc

Created by Pigsonthewing (talk). Self nominated at 23:21, 8 January 2014 (UTC).

  • Creation date is fine (7 January) and hook is referenced, but not nearly long enough—I count 924 characters of readable prose, so quite a bit under the required 1,500. Also awaiting QPQ review. --Canley (talk) 01:37, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Also, can I suggest you link "VD" in the hook and the article to the Venereal disease redirect (to Sexually transmitted disease)? I don't think the term "VD" is widely used at all these days, in favour of "STD" or "STI", so it may be a bit confusing for some readers as to what the initialism refers to. --Canley (talk) 01:45, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  • I don't like hooks with more than one link, so I've explained the initialisation instead. I'll see if I can add some more content. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  • OK, fair enough, thanks for spelling out the abbreviation though. I notice you've expanded it a bit, but still too short at 1,406 characters. --Canley (talk) 23:21, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  • OK, long enough now at 1800 characters. Just the QPQ review to go—let me know if you've done one. --Canley (talk) 22:33, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
  • I have just posted to the nominator's talk page, and given a deadline of February 4 to provide a QPQ review or request an extension. I hope we hear something by then. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:37, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Insomuch as QPQ review is donated and article is over a month old—if that is permitted then this is OK to go. --Canley (talk) 01:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
