DYK requirements are met, but the hooks are all too long. Hooks need to stay under 200 characters, which these all exceed or are at. CMD (talk) 11:55, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Chipmunkdavis: I've added additional hooks which are below 200 characters. CeltBrowne (talk) 20:56, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- Those are better. I prefer the one without the dates, it's simpler. However, the sources do not support "stay for free". They seem to support $10 a night, which is cheap but not free. CMD (talk) 02:07, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Chipmunkdavis: It was, to my understanding, $10 or you could offer your labour up in lieu of payment, which many sources used in the article refer to as "free". However, as this might be contentious, I've added another hook with a different wording that gets away from the term "free". CeltBrowne (talk) 02:29, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- ALT7 is good based on [17]. For the purposes of DYK, the sentences referred to in the hook all need separate sourcing, so please go through the first paragraph of history and more rigorously source each part. This may include placing the same source separately on subsequent sentences. Once that is done, this will be good to go. CMD (talk) 03:09, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Chipmunkdavis: Each line of the history section is now sourced CeltBrowne (talk) 20:32, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, found the sources.
for ALT7. CMD (talk) 02:31, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, I came by to promote this, but the lead does not adequately summarize the notability or workings of the subject. Please expand it per WP:LEAD. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:14, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Hello there, I have now expanded the lead. Is it now sufficient? CeltBrowne (talk) 00:25, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
