Template talk:Did you know nominations/Reid Moore, Jr.

Promotion issues

This was both approved and promoted with a bare URL, which is absolutely against the DYK rules (see WP:DYKSG#D3). Since its promotion to prep, it has been tagged with a "lead too short" template, so the lead will need to be expanded before this is promoted from prep to queue.

I'm going to give 24 hours for these issues to be fixed before I pull it back from prep for safety's sake. Pinging creator 12george1, approver Usernameunique, and promoter 97198.

Incidentally, DYK goes by UTC time, not by local time, when determining the age of an article. In addition, when considering seven days, we don't think of it as 168 hours, but by the end of the seventh day following the article's creation or start of expansion or GA listing. So in this case, by not being nominated until 27 August at 01:58 UTC, it was technically an hour and 59 minutes later than it should have been (26 August at 23:59 UTC would have been fine).

@BlueMoonset: Fixed the bare URL, thanks for catching that. I'll let 12george1 expand the lead. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:25, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

12george1 has substantially expanded the lead, so I have removed the tag. BlueMoonset this should be good to go. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 19:38, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Usernameunique. I'm satisfied that the issues raised have been addressed. I did edit the article so the two non-consecutive terms as state rep now give the correct starting and ending years; there was some inconsistency between article and infobox, as well as within each.
