Did You Know Submission 2

[edit]

Now that the article is eligible as a good article, I wanted to re-submit using the DYK template. I received an error message that the page already existed and posted on Wikipedia talk: Did You Know. I received the advice to manually create the Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Deshong_Art_Museum_2. I did this by creating a dummy submission for Deshong Park DYK here. I then copied that info and modified it for Deshong Art Museum. I need to know delete the Deshong Park dummy DYK. I apologize in advance if I have messed up anything.

  • ... that a teenage boy stole over $300,000 worth of paintings from the Deshong Art Museum (pictured) by simply taking them off the wall and sliding them out a window? Source: Between 1976 and 1979, a teenaged Laurence McCall from Chester, Pennsylvania, stole multiple paintings and a plate from the gallery (source)..... The museum had limited security and McCall stole more than 22 paintings by simply taking them off the wall and sliding them out of the museum's windows. (source).... McCall was eventually caught in September 1979, when he was 19. He was convicted of stealing $300,000 worth of art and served three years in federal prison. (source)

    • Comment: I originally submitted this as DYK September 6 as a new article but pulled it back due to questions and concerns from reviewers. It has since been upgraded to good article status and is being resubmitted.

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Deshong Art Museum 2; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

    • Promoted to Good Article on 10/12/23, DYK check reports over 3,400 characters, well cited, neutral, earwig reports violation unlikely, 7.4%, QPQ done, hook interesting, length checked ok, image looks ok. The question is about the hook citation. The hook is found in the lede with no references, while the details in the body are fully cited. Also, page not found for the inquirer source. BTW, the NYT spells his name Lawrence. I think references should be added to the hook statement in the lede. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 14:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Zeete: Thank you for the review. I've added the three references to the lead section to support the DYK hook although WP:LEAD does state "As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate, although it is common for citations to appear in the body and not the lead." Here is the link to the Schaefer Inquirer ref. Dwkaminski (talk) 15:26, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dwkaminski and RoySmith: I agree with WP:LEAD, but to be safe for DYK rules, the references should be added. Schaefer still reports not found for me, maybe a subscriber issue. Very interesting article. Good to go! Thanks, Zeete (talk) 15:35, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
