- Comment:
Created by Piotrus (talk) and Cielquiparle (talk). Nominated by Cielquiparle (talk) at 09:01, 23 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Jack Washburn; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is new and long enough with around 5070 characters. Article overal appears to be neutral and well-sourced. Spot-checks for copyright violations seem to indicate no problems. Hook is interesting and immediately cited. QPQ done by Cielquiparle (still ongoing). One minor query: The article states that Washburn was born in Rockford, while the Playbill source source states it was Sacramento. I can't access The Biographical Encyclopaedia & Who's Who of the American Theatre, does that one indicate Rockford?
- @Crispulop: Thanks for the review. You forgot to sign it, though (and I don't know how to do the thing that triggers the bot that signs it for you). I have now added an endnote to the article clarifying that the Biographical Encyclopaedia does indeed list his birthplace as Rockford, Illinois, despite what it says on Playbill.com; I have also added a note on the Talk page clarifying how I cross-referenced this fact using primary sources.
