New enough and long enough. Interesting hook checks out to AP wire story. Minor edits to hook but the hook is fine. The article looks good, Onel5969, but I will not approve this for DYK until all 52 newspapers.com citations are linked to clippings, not merely /image/ links that cannot be viewed without a subscription—the "open access" tag as it stands now is misleading! Ping me when this is done and when you have a QPQ (which you're missing). You might want to look into the PressPass script to assist you in this task in the future; I use this extensively, and it saves me lots of time. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:49, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Sammi Brie - Wow. I've been using that same ref template for articles from Newspapers.com since 2015, and this is the first time anyone's ever mentioned I was doing it wrong. I'm going to have some job going back through the hundreds of articles I've created and used it on and correct all of them. But now that you point it out, makes total sense. Can't believe I've been doing it incorrectly all these years. Regardless, I've fixed this article so that they are all clips now. Also, I Reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Yosef Avidar. I hadn't done a review because I did not think I was over the 5 DYK nom threshold (and did not know how to check). I had looked through about 20 or so nominations, and didn't feel qualified to review any of them, so didn't want to screw it up. Anyway, my review was inconclusive, since, like me, they did not have a QPQ, but I noted that. When they do their QPQ, I'll update. And thanks for the hint on that script. I use newspapers.com a lot, and that will help out.Onel5969 TT me 13:25, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
I adopted it in November, and it's definitely saved me a lot of time. (Enough time that it's probably led to me writing more pages!) The things you have to watch for are page numbers (especially papers that use sectioned pages), authors (which aren't in any metadata), and for a few papers the masthead and name on site do not completely match (e.g. pre-2011 Tampa Bay Times is not listed under the correct St. Petersburg Times name). With QPQ present and all 52 articles clipped, this article is approved. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:05, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
