1942 National Football League All-Star Game (December)

edit

5x expanded by ZappaOMati (talk). Self-nominated at 05:32, 29 January 2019 (UTC).

  • Article expansion versus filing date okay. Prose portion goes from 582 bytes/92 words to 4019 bytes/678 words, so more than 5x and expanded article length is okay. Article neutrality is fine and citing is good with heavy use of contemporary accounts via newspapers.com. Have looked through a few of the sources and don't get a feeling of any copyvio's. Hook length is fine and is neutral and cited. Hook interest is very good, because nowadays players skip out of the Pro Bowl for injuries/illness all the time – it's expected and the league would never imagine investigating them.
  • @ZappaOMati: A couple of non-DYK issues: There should not be a link within the bold part of the first sentence, per MOS:BOLDAVOID, so that should be reworked. And I think even for newspapers.com clippings, adding via = [[Newspapers.com]] to the cite is considered desirable to do. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:16, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
  • Oops, I forgot about the QPQ. From your talk archive you have more than five DYKs, so on hold for that. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:20, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Okay, QPQ done, other changes made, this is now good to go with the primary hook. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:56, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
