Esquire of the Body
[edit]... that Henry VIII of England always had other men dress and undress him and they thought this an honour ...?
Created by PBS (talk). Self nominated at 09:48, 11 October 2013 (UTC).
I don't know what the whole James Dietz business is about, seeing as PBS hasn't reviewed that (no one has), andPBS doesn't appear to need to review any nominations, as they have no previous DYKs.
- The hook is incorrectly formatted, it needs to include a link to the nominated article, right now it doesn't.
- Further, we don't use the four full stops at the end in the hooks. Those merely signal where to place the hook.
- This should fly through quite easily, if the issues with the hook are fixed
, and the James Dietz business clarified or removed. Manxruler (talk) 00:39, 12 October 2013 (UTC)- Have removed the points that have been rectified. Manxruler (talk) 10:26, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
- It took 118 key presses to say what could be fixed with one so, if you can see a trivial error like that why not fix it instead of commenting on it? Or if you feel a need to comment (teach am man to fish... etc) then why not fix it first and then put in a comment? -- PBS (talk) 11:23, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I did consider doing just that, but then I'd create an alt hook, and that would mean that I couldn't review said hook, and you have to wait for someone else to do the review. This isn't always enforced, but quite often is, so I try to avoid to create alt hooks, leaving that to the nominator.
- Please do the necessary fixes to the hook, so we can move on with the review. Manxruler (talk) 11:52, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
- I nominated this article because I thought that people might find it interesting, but I have little interest in the process, so I am not doing to do any more on this. If someone else finds it interesting then they can tidy up, as that is the Wikipedia way of developing articles and processes. -- PBS (talk) 13:27, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
- As I said, if if I were to provide an alt, then you have to wait for someone else to do the review, and that can take a while. I thought you might prefer having your nomination reviewed right away.
- However, if you feel that strongly about not fixing your own nominated hook, then sure, here's an alt that someone else can review:
