Tillinghast Huston in 1923
Tillinghast Huston in 1923

5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 02:45, 15 April 2021 (UTC).[reply]

  • This article is new enough and long enough. The image seems to be in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, with ALT1 being the better of the two, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:57, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Muboshgu and Cwmhiraeth: If I could propose a slightly simpler to read hook? It also contrasts a bit more, if appropriate.
  • ALT2: ... that civil engineer Cap Huston oversaw major projects from the clean-up of Havana's leper colonies to the construction of the Yankee Stadium?

I'm happy with ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:58, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think I prefer using his full name, but otherwise yes that is simpler. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:12, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Promoted ALT2, with full name in the hook. — Bilorv (talk) 00:37, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

New York Yankees

[edit]

Later life

[edit]
  • Three sentences in a row in the first paragraph begin with the word "He". If one or two can be rephrased so as not to do that, it'd break up the para a little better

Personal life

[edit]
  • When did he come to direct the VFW National Home, and when did he serve as president of the chamber of commerce?
    • Good questions. Regarding the VFW National Home, money from the gate receipts of the 1922 World Series was donated to the VFW through Huston's influence, and that money was used to start the VFW National Home. I've added that to the article. When did he direct the National Home? I'm not sure.
    • As for when he was president of the Brunswick chamber of commerce, I do not know exactly. It would seem to be in the mid-1930s. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:47, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General comments

[edit]
  • The images are all PD or CC, and make sense within the context of the article
  • That being said, they are all quite large, with some awkward sandwiching in the one under the "Early life" head, so if they could be shrunken, that would be fantastic
  • No evidence of edit warring, only one primary contributor
  • Earwig score looks fantastic at 8.3%

Mostly very quick prose things. Putting on hold for now, and let me know if you have any questions. Kncny11 (shoot) 20:10, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kncny11, great, thanks! I'll ping you again when I have gotten through them. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:14, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kncny11, I have responded to all points. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:47, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for making those changes, particularly finding some of the dates for his later life. The images look well-sized now, and everything else is in order, so I'm happy to pass! — GhostRiver 21:41, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! – Muboshgu (talk) 22:03, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
