75/24 Split

(
)

Created by Bneu2013 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:54, 17 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/75/24 Split; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • *
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: No - ?
Overall: @Bneu2013: Article is recently moved, long enough, neutral, extensively sourced, no copyvio according to Earwig. Could be slightly tightened in a few spots but otherwise well written. Not sure on QPQ, looks like you're above the threshold but didn't see any so let me know on this. However, the hook has an issue. The source given does not state that this specific interchange is "one of the worst bottlenecks for trucks in the United States"; the study it mentions is about several interchanges and the story doesn't tease them apart. Fortunately though, this is a simple fix since I was able to find this statistic attributed to a researcher in a Yahoo News article. This article also gives a more specific scope -- it was listed as one of the worst 100 bottlenecks in America -- which may be more interesting than the somewhat vague wording in the hook now.

@Gnomingstuff: - Wrong citation, my bad. I had intended to use a different source cited in the article, but this one is probably even better. I am exempt from QPQ; I have had several other DYKs pass without requiring a QPQ. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:56, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
@Bneu2013: Got it, thanks. A few more notes:
  • "Another study that same year by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute ranked Chattanooga the second-most congested midsize city in the country." -- The source given does not specify that Chattanooga is the second-most congested midsize city. The study it mentions might.
  • The article says "The city rated high among the second group in terms of annual hours of delay per commuter at 28". I've reworded to be more consistent with the source.
  • "After the first phase was completed, the two-to-one lane bottleneck on the ramp from I-75 northbound to I-24 westbound was left in place for the second phase, which was criticized by some" -- "criticized by some" is a bit vague (WP:AWW).
  • Reworded.
  • "[Phase 1] was the second-most expensive highway contract in state history." -- Inline citation for this doesn't mention anything about it being second most expensive, is this mentioned anywhere else?
  • I know I've read this in some newspaper article, but I'm having trouble finding it now. Articles about the second phase are clogging up the search results. Removed for now.
@Gnomingstuff: - comments addressed. Bneu2013 (talk) 02:45, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
@Bneu2013: Looks good, thanks! Gnomingstuff (talk) 23:09, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
  • @Bneu2013: To clarify on the above QPQ remark: have you had five DYK nominations? Because if you already have done so, you need to do a QPQ. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
  • @Gnomingstuff: - are you still planning on finishing this review? Thanks. Bneu2013 (talk) 15:58, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Seems done to me, not sure what next steps would be... Gnomingstuff (talk) 16:44, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
      • @Gnomingstuff: - are you uncertain of how to pass or fail a DYK nomination? Bneu2013 (talk) 16:52, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
        • @Bneu2013: Where should I do this? I've only done reviews, I was under the impression only admins could approve. Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:21, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Note to both Bneu2013 and Gnomingstuff: reviewers are not supposed to do anything to the "passed" parameter on the DYKsubpage template at the top of this page. Indeed, it says so in the comment just below there: Please do not edit above this line unless you are a DYK volunteer who is closing the discussion. (By "closing the discussion", it means closing the nomination by promoting or rejecting it based on the review, not simply completing the review.) Instead, the appropriate icon from the symbol list above the edit window should be used in the body of the review or the DYK checklist needs to be completely filled out (including the status field). In this case, since I've used one of those symbols subsequent to the checklist review, that review has now been superseded, and a subsequent reviewer symbol will be needed to supersede mine.
Bneu2013, every DYK nominator is allowed as many as five "freebies" before the QPQ requirement kicks in. As it happens, you have exhausted your five freebies with your previous five nominations, which were promoted to the main page between February 2022 and April 2023; effective with this nomination, you will need to supply a quid pro quo review. The nomination cannot be approved without a valid QPQ. Please let us know when you have completed your review and supply a link to the nomination reviewed. Many thanks. If you need assistance in conducting your first DYK review, there's a reviewing guide linked to in the DYK toolbox. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:23, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
