Per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/GibraltarPediA Options, Gibraltar-related articles are temporarily being reviewed by two individuals. In addition to the regular DYK criteria, at least one reviewer should also indicate whether they perceive any conflict of interest or promotional concerns about the article under review. IP addresses are not allowed to do the reviews.
  • Review 1:
  • Date and length OK. However I do have questions about the sources. From what I see, the sources supporting the claims in the hook are coming from the Gibraltar tourism website which I would call a COI. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 20:01, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I didn't use a tourism website. All of my sources are reliable. Anne (talk) 20:38, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Anne is correct. If you look at the website, the referenced page is one of a number about tourism but that's just one section of the website, which covers lots of other things as well (e.g. history). It's clearly not a tourism website, it's just a website that has some pages about tourism - rather a different proposition. As for invoking COI, that's not applicable in this context. The website clearly aims to promote Gibraltar but that doesn't make it an unreliable source, any more than www.barackobama.com's aim of promoting Obama's recent candidacy make it an unreliable source for that topic. The question is whether the source meets the requirements of WP:V, and I can't see any reason why it doesn't, particularly if it's the territory's official website - one would think that would be an exemplary source.

  • Thank you for your review. Anne (talk) 16:55, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Review 2:
  • Each of these three articles is suitably sourced and is new enough and long enough to meet the DYK criteria. The articles are about military relics and I have no concern about them. If I had been nominating them I would have reworded the hook to include the image of the three princesses, but this nomination has been hanging around for too long already so I will just mention this in passing.
