- ... that to raise desperately needed money, the first president of Pomona College, Cyrus G. Baldwin (pictured), built the first hydroelectric power station with high-voltage transmission in California in 1892? Source: [1][2]
5x expanded by Sdkb (talk). Self-nominated at 08:29, 10 August 2020 (UTC).
5x expansion confirmed. QPQ done. Some slight paraphrasing picked up by Earwig. Hook as written is not reflected in article. New hook needed, or article needs to be edited to reflect hook. --evrik (talk) 17:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Evrik, thanks for the review! The current text in the article is
In 1891, as part of his fundraising efforts, Baldwin founded the San Antonio Light and Power Company, which built a hydroelectric power station in San Antonio Canyon which transmitted power to the valley via high-voltage transmission, the first such instance in California.
Is 1892 the part that you find missing? We could add that to the article fairly easily. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 02:27, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- The line, "to raise desperately needed money" is not in the article. Also, can you look at the close paraphrasing? --evrik (talk) 03:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Evrik: Fixed. And regarding Earwig, it's main concern (18% probability) is a quote. The removal of the stub tag earlier confusing switched its main concern to the Branding Iron piece (17%), where it picked up things like "he graduated from Oberlin College" and "San Antonio Light and Power Company"; those are not copyrightable phrases. I made a small tweak that has earwig more satisfied re Branding Iron, but there's nothing I can do to change a quote. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 06:55, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
