Hemlock Hoax, the Detective

[edit]

Created by Taylor Trescott (talk). Self nominated at 19:11, 24 June 2014 (UTC).

  • More than meets character count, neutral, new enough, cited inline. The hook is less than 200 characters, neutral and is cited where the fact occurs in the article. The hook is also rather interesting. After checking through the sources, I found no copy vio issues. The only issue I found was that your 11th link doesn’t’ actually lead to an active website. Fix it and this article is good to go.Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:59, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
If you mean ref #11, it's not supposed to. It's a newspaper scan and there's no official site for 1910 news. I think if you Google the quoted phrase you can find some unofficial reproductions - here's one. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 02:08, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Ok, that's a fair explanation for source 11. Everything is good to go (AGF on the specific inline source as it is a printed, not an online, source). Spirit of Eagle (talk) 23:45, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
