George H. Brimhall

(

)

... that in 1907 George H. Brimhall permitted Brigham Young University students to paint the letters "B", "Y", and "U" on the mountain nearest to campus, but because of limited time and resources, the "Y" was the only letter put on the mountain?
- ALT1:~~... that in October 1918, under the direction of George H. Brimhall, Brigham Young University officially opened an Army Training Corps center?~~

5x expanded by Phelps (BYU) (talk). Self-nominated at 21:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC).

This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. I think the original hook is more interesting to a general audience and suggest ALT2 as being better worded. The article is neutral and I detected no copivios. In the article it states that the "Y" is painted, but elsewhere it mentions that it is made of concrete. Could you clarify this?

Yes, in 1908 students built a concrete retaining wall. I added this information with an additional source (an article from BYU magazine about the Y). From the historical photos on the BYU magazine article it looks like the Y is made of rocks on the mountain, which matches my memory of it.Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:06, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that in 1907, George H. Brimhall permitted Brigham Young University students to paint the letters "B", "Y", and "U" on the mountain nearest to campus, but the work was only partially completed and it became Y Mountain? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:50, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. New reviewer needed for ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:50, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Images in article are public domain. Offline ALT2 hook fact AGF and cited inline. Nominator has 4 DYK credits, so no QPQ needed. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:40, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

I added an online ref from the Y Mountain article to verify this hook. Yoninah (talk) 21:48, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
