Cesar Chavez Street

(

)

Approaching Chavez Street from the north on South Van Ness Avenue

... in 1995, the city of San Francisco renamed Army Street to Cesar Chavez Street in honor of the U.S. civil rights leader?
- ALT1:... around 1900, the city of San Francisco paved over the Precita Creek to build Army Street (now Cesar Chavez Street).
- ALT2:... the famous chase scene from the 1968 Steve McQueen movie Bullitt starts on Cesar Chavez Street (then Army Street) before continuing through San Francisco?

. @Evrik: Afraid I have to fail this, as the prose section (measured with [1])) is 928 bytes (the infobox has another 154 chars of prose), and the required length for DYK is 1,500 bytes. It does pass 1,500 with the reference list, however the reference list isn't part of the prose.Icewhiz (talk) 12:30, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

@Icewhiz: I added another paragraph that should bring it well above the 1,500 byte threshold. Mind rechecking it? BTW, what tool are you using to check? Thanks. --evrik ^(talk) 21:00, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

@Evrik:. OK - it is now (just barely) long enough at 1,564 bytes of prose. I don't see a copyvio. Seems neutral and within policy, has inline citations. ALT1 fails as cistern is not present in the article (nor in the citation). the main hook is OK - it is in the article, and the source has "The renamed street honors labor leader Chavez, founder of the United Farm Workers Union, advocate of nonviolence and organizer of the 1965 boycott against table grapes." - so civil rights leader seems an OK summary (and is also in our lead for Chavez).Icewhiz (talk) 06:40, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

on main hook, ALT1 has issues. Icewhiz (talk) 06:40, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
I changed the wording in Alt1. --evrik ^(talk) 15:11, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

@Evrik: Your source says: "1888: Precita Creek still a creek. Army street is a jankey east-west road that runs alongside it. Circa 1900: Precita creek channeled underground, Army street built on top" - so you need to change this to 1900. The source isn't clear on when Army Street was first built (between 1859 and 1888), but the underground channeling is 1900. Icewhiz (talk) 15:48, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that. I added an Alt2 --evrik ^(talk) 16:58, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

- OK, that one is good as well. But you need to choose your hook. ALT2 is possibly the most interesting. ALT1 is more related to the place (and is mildly interesting). Icewhiz (talk) 17:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

I will leave the choice to the promoter. I like Alt2, but there isn't a great image for it. --evrik ^(talk) 17:57, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

@Evrik: I've crossed out the QPQ as it's not a valid review: you passed a nomination that's plainly ineligible for DYK. However, since you're a relatively new nominator, a valid QPQ is not yet required. Please review more carefully in the future. -Zanhe (talk) 00:42, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

I went and looked at another entry. --evrik ^(talk) 20:49, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
