... that a flat in London's Basil Street was the scene of the first meetings that led to Monty Python's Flying Circus? Source: "But somebody came up with Monty Python and we all fell about.

New enough, long enough, still a stub and needs qpq. Will finish review when complete. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please see RfC on excessively late supply of QPQ credits, and provide a QPQ within one week to avoid rejection of this nomination. Flibirigit (talk) 16:41, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Whispyhistory: I'll donate a QPQ if it moves stuff along. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 20:10, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: that's very kind. I think @Flibirigit: is reviewing now, so maybe they can comment. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:17, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Whispyhistory, Flibirigit and Theleekycauldron for your patience. QPQ now done. Edwardx (talk) 21:31, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added Alt. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:49, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for completing a QPQ. I did not state nor wish to imply that I would do a review. A final review is still needed. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 02:06, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... No problem..reviewing. New enough, Qpq done, copyvio ok, long enough, hook in article and followed by inline citation to a source containing hook fact. Some sentences need inline citations, some references could have some further parameters added and it could read a bit better. Good job on creating the street. Ping me when you wish me to look again.

Added "a flat in" to the original hook. Also struck the Alt. The source says so but another says they moved after a few years and Watery Fowls was not written until the mid 1970s with a pilot in 1974. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:06, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Whispyhistory: It's ready for you to continue your review please. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:00, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
... QPQ provided, reads well, hook in article and cited. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:46, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Edwardx and Philafrenzy: any chance either of you could add a citation to the last paragraph in the "Buildings (north to south)" section before I promote? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:04, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is covered by point three of WP:CK. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:20, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
