Wangjing SOHO edit

(

  • ... that the three Wangjing SOHO towers in Beijing have been described as "resembling curved sails that appear to swim across the surface of the Earth when viewed from the air"?

  • Long enough, new enough, has inline citations but the hook is not referenced with an inline citation, plus per MOS:QUOTE, the quote is not properly formatted at this time. QPQ is done. No issues with originality of text. Hook will need to be re-written. C679 07:09, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
  • I see what you mean. How about the alternate:
  • ALT1:*... that the three Wangjing SOHO towers in Beijing have been described as "an office and retail complex whose gently curving walls are intended to resemble dancing Chinese fans."?
  • I added an inline citation and full quote: [1]. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 08:13, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Per WP:Did you know, "The "Did you know?" fact must be mentioned in the article and cited with an inline citation since inline citations are used to support specific statements in an article. Many submissions fail to meet one or both of these criteria." This means the main body of the article and not just in the notes at the bottom. Also the quotes you have used in the article are still not MOS-compliant. Suggest you write a hook "in your own words". C679 08:31, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Would adding the full quote in the article make it ok? As I understand it, if I write a quote in my own words it would still not be correct. Also could you possibly elaborate as to why the quotations I used in the article are not MOS-compliant? Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 08:36, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
  • I added the full quote: [2]. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 08:39, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Much better with the ALT2 hook. Good to go. C679 17:30, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
