Chestertown Armory

(
)

5x expanded by Guerillero (talk). Self-nominated at 11:55, 19 August 2022 (UTC).

  • Expanded by 5x, barely. Article is also long enough and Earwig doesn't reveal any problems. Hook is short enough, accurate and supported by in-line citation. Two issues to be resolved before this can be passed: (1) needs a QPQ, and (2) the hook is not particularly hooky, and you indicated that you would be willing to find a better hook. Ping me when these are done. Cbl62 (talk) 01:12, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
@Guerillero and Cbl62: Maybe a hook about it being planned to be turned into a bed and breakfast would be a better option? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:38, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
@Guerillero: You indicated on Aug 19 that you would do a QPQ and come up with a better hook. I'm still available if you want to do those things. Cbl62 (talk) 16:57, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
  • It's been over a week since the review, but despite two reminders a QPQ has not been provided. As such the nomination is marked for closure on technical grounds. The nomination can resume if a QPQ is provided and the hook issue raised above is addressed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:20, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
    I was pinged by the reviewer 3 days ago. QPQ for you and alt 1 is below. --Guerillero Parlez Moi 10:19, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

ALT 1 ... that Washington College plans on turning the Chestertown Armory into a bed and breakfast?

Thank you. This is ready for a new review. @Cbl62: Can you take another look at this? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:35, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
  • @Guerillero: QPQ is done, but the alt1 hook isn't supported by the source. The source does not say that there is a "plan" to convert the armory into a B&B. (A "plan" is "a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something.") The article describes more of a generic rumination/discussion: "The college has had discussions with several interested parties about eventually converting the approximately 20,700-square-foot armory building into a bed and breakfast." Accordingly, and as phrased, alt1 is not accurate. Cbl62 (talk) 12:30, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

ALT 1a ... that Washington College is exploring turning the Chestertown Armory into a bed and breakfast?

ALT 2 ... that the Chestertown Armory is officially named after a Chestertown, Maryland resident who landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day?

ALT 3 ... that the Maryland Army National Guard used the Chestertown Armory from 1932 until it was declared surplus in 2005?

The issue is not one of pleasing me, but rather one of accuracy. Alt 1a is accurate and sufficiently hooky. Alts 2 and 3 are OK as well (though less hooky IMO). I did fix the typos in alts 2 and 3. Cbl62 (talk) 13:06, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
