Skyscraper Live

[edit]

Created by 03md (talk), 7&6=thirteen () Self nominated at 14:43, 5 November 2014 (UTC).

  • Review: This new BLP article imported from workspace is new enough and long enough to qualify for DYK.
  • Third paragraph needs a cite.
  • Hook is 156 characters. It is properly cited at the end of the sentence, though in the lead of the article and not the body.
  • ALT1 is 141 characters. ALT2 is only 131 characters. However, neither is cited at the end of the sentence per DYK requirements. Both of them are also contained in the lead.
  • Now we come to a big stylistic difficulty; the lead is not a summary of the body of the article as it should be. Most of the lead should be moved to body text, perhaps as "Background". A new lead is needed, summarizing the article.
  • I have one other difficulty with this article—is it actually notable? I checked for notability standards for TV shows, but came up dry. Could you please tell what notability standards were used?Georgejdorner (talk) 21:11, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the links. I was aware of the extent of coverage; however, I couldn't seem to locate the notability link. I am now a believer. Objection withdrawn.Georgejdorner (talk) 16:18, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Comment Rewrote the lead and added references. IMHO, clearly notable. Reported around the world, which is now reflected in the article. 7&6=thirteen () 12:52, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Nice job on the rewrite; you added some interesting facts. Your lead is still a bit scanty; it should not only summarize the main body of the article, but include reason(s) for notability. Adding another short paragraph to the lead should do it. Also, to meet DYK requirements, you should close all paragraphs with an ending cite. You are very close to qualifying this article, and I look forward to signing off on it.Georgejdorner (talk) 16:27, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
I've reformatted and reordered the entire article (I am not listed as a cocreator on the DYK). Have not rewritten the lead, however. 7&6=thirteen () 16:42, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment Thank you, talk. Someone still needs to take care of the lead to satisfy the reviewer, I think. I think the lead is GTG. 7&6=thirteen () 20:46, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
