Overall: WP:DYKcheck says the article is 2133 characters, which seems just about long enough. Earwig [5] report is clean. Either the main hook or ALT3 look fine to me. Joofjoof (talk) 03:41, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Note: hooks 0–2 had bold links as: Wisconsin. To avoid MOS:EGG, I included more in the links, without changing any text in the hooks. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 07:50, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Basic stuff and comments
[edit]- Images are free to use.
- "ageing" → "aging" (American English)

- Remove the comma after "the farms".
- Remove the comma after "the railroad" (unnecessary).
- Remove the comma after "switched to dairy farming" (near the end of sentence).
- "to higher" → "to a higher"
- "products has" → "products have"
- Remove the comma after "2000".
- "Wisconsin have" → "Wisconsin has"
- Archive sources (either manually or with this tool).
- Also, don't try to have website links (ex. "www." and ".org") present in the "|website=" parameter (find the actual name of the source instead).

Newspaper sources
[edit]A list of newspaper sources that could be added to the article:

Documentary
[edit]America's Dairyland at the Crossroads (Milwaukee PBS) Maybe useful? The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel did a write-up but they also helped produce it so that's probably not a pure secondary source. Mapsax (talk) 00:08, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
