Les Tres Torres

[edit]
  • ... that the Les Tres Torres district of Barcelona got its name from three large houses built there in about 1902?
  • ALT1 ... that Barcelona's Les Tres Torres district is named after three large houses built there between 1901 and 1903?

  • This article was 5x expanded on March 9 and 10, it is over 1500 characters, there are no issues with neutrality, and it doesn't look like there are any copyvio issues. QPQ is satisfied and there are no images included in this nomination. However, there are a few issues I would like to clarify before approving this nomination:
  1. According to the source that is cited to supported the hook, Les Tres Torres was founded between 1901 and 1903; the source does not say (as far as I can tell) that the houses were built "in about 1902".
The cited source is [1]. I think "about 1902" is a reasonable paraphrase of "between 1901 and 1903".
  1. The article says that the construction of the torres "set the tone" for the neighborhood, but I don't think the source says anything about "setting the tone" of the area.
The fact that the three torres were followed by other similar buildings and the area has remained an upper-income neighbourhood justifies that assertion, IMO.
Okay, I agree that's a fair interpretation. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:58, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
  1. You need an inline citation to support the assertion that the Via Augusta thoroughfare splits the neighborhood in two.
That's easily verified by looking at a map, but I have now added a link to a map that makes it very clear.
That's fine. I just wanted to make sure that there would be a citation at the end of the sentence. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:59, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
  1. The article says that Sarria Stadium hosted large concerts, but the source you provide says nothing about concerts. Can you either provide an additional source or modify the sentence accordingly?
I have added a citation about concerts, and mentioned Pink Floyd.
Thanks for adding the additional citation. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:01, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
  1. You provide a list of notable buildings, but you don't provide a source that says these buildings are notable. The only source in that paragraph is an article about the history of Casa Muley-Afid. Can you provide a source that says these buildings are notbale?
The cited link shows that Casa Muley Afid is notable, and I have now added another showing that the Teresian College is notable. The fact their architects are renowned is probably enough anyway.
Thanks for adding the link; the text is now supported by inline citations. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:02, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Once these issues are resolved, I will re-assess this nomination. Of course, please let me know if you have any questions or if any of my comments are unclear. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:07, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
I have responded after each point above. — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 16:59, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
@Rwxrwxrwx: thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my comments. It looks like this is almost ready to go, but can you change the proposed hook(s) to say that the houses were "built there between 1901 and 1903"? If the houses were actually built in just 1902, then I think the source would have said so, but the fact they were constructed "between 1901 and 1903" leads me to believe that they were constructed in 1901 and 1903 as well. Once you change the language of the hook, I can go ahead and approve it. Thanks again for your hard work with this! It really is a very nice article; I always enjoy reading about neighborhoods in far-away places, and this is certainly a nice addition to the encyclopedia. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:15, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
That's done now. Thanks. — Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 23:49, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Fantastic. ALT1 is good to go. Thanks again for your hard work with this article. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 23:52, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
