General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I am okay with sourcing as spot checks passed. However, I think you should actually link all the newspaper articles where possible so that any reviewing admin can also verify the sources. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Panamitsu: I need you to please fix source 4, cited several times. Atlas Obscura articles are user-generated and user-editable with minimal oversight, and the site's terms of use includes disclaimers about user submissions. Many of the "places" articles cite Wikipedia as a source of their information or otherwise lack clear or reliable sourcing. Per WP:GUNREL: These articles should generally not be referenced on Wikipedia. I personally would have no issue with you using this source once or twice for something uncontroversial, however unfortunately for an article to appear on the Main Page, I don't think this source is gonna cut it. I can seek a second opinion if you want, but I would hate to approve it only for an admin to step in and decline to post...— MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:37, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MaxnaCarta: Thanks for telling me this, I hadn't seen this website before. I've removed it now. Luckily the other sources were already used for the same information so I didn't have to make many changes, except for removing a name and a year. ―Panamitsu (talk) 02:54, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Panamitsu: all good, thanks for actioning so fast. I will review the rest of the sources and come back to you. I dont anticipate any issues. Looks okay from here. Cheers — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:57, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
