Created by Emperostheoros2 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:02, 21 June 2021 (UTC).
The article was nominated on the day of its creation, is clearly long enough, neutral and well sourced. QPQ is not required for this editor. The hooks are all short enough, and appear in the article with off-line sources which are accepted in good faith. However I don't think that all three are interesting. To me, ALT2 is the best and I'll be striking out the rest. Before this can go ahead, I think the following (small) issues should be fixed: 1) in the 'Robinsonville apparition' section, there is a statement ("The Peshtigo fire was God’s fire and brimstone sent down to punish a sinful city") with no inline citation. Given the high standard of sourcing in this article, could this be rectified? 2) The article has many images, which is good, but some of them create a MOS:SANDWICH where text is squashed between images. It would be great if this could be cleaned up. 3) At the moment, the article doesn't reflect everything said in the ALT2. The text doesn't say that he was punished for being away for too long. If you can address these issues, Emperostheoros2, I'll be able to approve the nomination. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 21:18, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- I've addressed the three issues. Thanks! Emperostheoros2 (talk) 16:25, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
Thank you, Emperostheoros2, I'm happy to approve now. One smallish thing that will not impeded DYK progression: I think there are one or two too many images in the article. It looks quite crammed; if I were you, I'd remove at least one and space them out so that there is a better balance between images and text. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:37, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
