- Epicgenius, I am interested in reviewing this DYK nomination. Have you made any progress on the QPQ? Flibirigit (talk) 02:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Flibirigit, No, not yet, but I can do it this week. I think you can still do a review if the QPQ is not done yet, though. epicgenius (talk) 03:10, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- No rush then. I can start a review probably on Thursday. I will be busy too. I'm sure we can push this through by next week. Flibirigit (talk) 03:18, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Overall: 
Article expanded more than fivefold on Febrary 2, and nominated the next day. Length and sourcing are adequate. Article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues detected. Hooks are verified, mentioned inline and properly cited. I highly recommend adding one of more of the properly licensed photos to this nomination. QPQ is still oustanding. Minor suggestions that are not critical to DYK:I recommend adding one sentence to cover recent amenities such as the tennis courts, baseball diamonds, etc. I also recommend one sentence about the Kissena Park Civic Association. The article is undercategorized, and typically citiations are in numerical order, such as [1][2][3]. Flibirigit (talk) 20:43, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Flibirigit, Thanks for reviewing this article. I have done a QPQ review. epicgenius (talk) 22:45, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
The added photos are licensed properly on the commons, and clear at 100px. QPQ requirements have now been met. Please consider the other suggestions and nominate this for GA status. Flibirigit (talk) 23:39, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
