  • I will start the review here shortly. DYK Check says that this article is a stub currently, which might mean the article has to be expanded and / or the stub tag removed from the article. Please can you have that done while I complete the review. Ktin (talk) 01:14, 18 October 2021 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new. At ~1750 characters it is above the DYK minimum of 1500 characters. However, the article has been tagged a stub which needs to be removed. Article is well sourced and the tone is neutral. Copyvio does not show any issues. Hook is cited and is also used in the article. I would encourage the DYK authors to simplify the hook. Currently reads a tad verbose. Will wait for the QPQ. Handing it back to the authors. Ktin (talk) 01:24, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

  • @Ktin: I can donate a QPQ if needed, although I strongly encourage Sounderbruce to provide one. As for the hook, I can propose these ALTs:
Although I think that the ALT0 was pretty much fine. Let me know if I can do anything! theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 02:11, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
  • I haven't had much time to review lately, so I'll have to get around to it. Also, Edwards was already dead by the time the naming proposal came around, so she couldn't have objected. SounderBruce 07:44, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks Theleekycauldron. @SounderBruce:, I am good with any of ALT0a, ALT0b, or ALT0c based on your preference. Also, let know if you'd want to take up TLC's offer of a QPQ donation. I totally understand how off-wiki commitments can get pressing at times, so, I am good accepting TLC's QPQ if that is alright with you. Ktin (talk) 02:12, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
  • @Ktin: QPQ added. Of the ALT hooks, I think a and c are best, as they mention why the park was not ultimately named for Edwards. SounderBruce 05:59, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Approving both ALT0a and ALT0c. Ktin (talk) 05:12, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
