5x expanded by AHeneen (talk). Self-nominated at 21:25, 16 June 2015 (UTC).

  • :: Wingen-sur: was 701 characters (118 words) on 19 May 2015 before current edit began and is now 5330 characters (855 words), exceeds 5x expansion. It is neutral, cited with in-line sources, no apparent close paraphrasing and I really enjoyed the comprehensive nature of the article. Hook length is fine. However, the hook citation is to a YouTube video which says it is the only factory but doesn't give a date. A quick web search showed he had another factory here page 116 and that both factories closed during WWII; only this one reopened. QPQ Done. Need to address the dating issue.
On Lalique, 2009 entry was a redirect to designer Rene Lalique, not the glassworks. (In the lede, shouldn't the factory be called a glassworks and the people who work there glassmakers?) Thus is indeed a new article nominated on the date is was created. 3988 characters (631 words) exceeds minimum length requirement. Article is neutral, cited with in-line sources and no apparent close paraphrasing. I do not see the hook stated nor cited in the 2nd article. QPQ is done. For this one need to input the hook.
Really enjoyed reading both and learning about them. Thanks for the articles. SusunW (talk) 23:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
I see that the Combes-la-Ville factory closed in 1937, so I propose alt1:
Alt1: ... that Wingen-sur-Moder is home to the only Lalique glass production facility?
There was one mention of "glassmaking factory" in the Wingen-sur-Moder article (in the History section) that I changed to "glassworks". I believe that is what you were referring to, as there is no issues with either article's lede. AHeneen (talk) 02:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
I'm good with that. The actual lede I was looking at was in the other article "Lalique is a French glassmaker, founded by renowned glassmaker and jeweller René Lalique" Would it be more proper to say is a "French glassworks founded by ..." but it matters not. The hook is now added. GTG SusunW (talk) 03:58, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
