Dworshak Dam

[edit]

Dworshak Dam seen from above

Created/expanded by Shannon1 (talk). Self nom at 18:15, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

  • I will review this.
  • Article well exceeds 1500 chars
  • Cites inline
  • Hook is brief and interesting, I added (pictured) as an image accompanies hook
  • Image is PD
  • I added a caption to the image

Remaining issues

  • Could you tell me which section prior to expansion contained copyvio? That is important for determining if the expansion was sufficient.
  • QPQ needed
I will go into the more detailed reviewing at a later point, assuming expansion is sufficient. Chris857 (talk) 23:33, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
While doing research I found the paragraph "In June 1980 the dam developed a leak... an acceptable level" to be copied from here. Also please clarify qpq? Shannºn 01:22, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Because you have had more than 5 articles on dyk and this is a nomination of your own article, you have to review some one else's nomination quid pro quo (QPQ). Chris857 (talk) 01:39, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
I have never reviewed another DYK hook and I'm not sure if I can do so correctly, also, many of my previous articles in DYK were nominated by other people, and I was not involved in the process. Shannºn 06:05, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Taking into account the copyvio you discovered, this article was expanded from 2614 b of prose to 10994 b, only a 4.2x increase. To hit a 5x increase, you need another 2076 b. Do you think you can add that much to the article? Chris857 (talk) 03:09, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
That I can do. What tool are you using to check readable prose in the article? Shannºn 17:36, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
It's a script (User:Dr_pda/prosesize.js or User:Dr_pda/prosesizebytes.js), though I'm noticing that you have it in your javascript file. Are you using the monobook skin? It should display a "Page size" button underneath Toolbox on the left panel. Chris857 (talk) 02:23, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Alright, the prose has now increased to 13 KB. It won't show any more accurately, so I'm hoping this is enough. Shannºn 04:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
The slightly different version shows more accurately, add you need 139 b more, probably about another sentence. Chris857 (talk) 23:22, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Added a little blurb about the Dworshak fish hatchery, comes in at around 170 bytes. Shannºn 04:50, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
  • good-to-go as far as i'm concerned BUT i wasn't able to confirm word-count. If any assistance is needed to stretch existing prose I'd be happy to work some magic. If my input means anything.Penwatchdog (talk) 15:10, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
According to the above javascript file the current version has 13,093 characters of prose/2,146 words, and the old version had 2,614 characters of prose/417 words, which might be a sufficient expansion. Shannºn 16:07, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
