The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: The coordinates are wrong - it places the community in Perry County. Based on the burned-down church, it should be around 32°29'35"N 87°40'2"W. Please confirm. P 1 9 9✉ 21:27, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
User:P199, done--thanks for catching that. I tweaked with the coordinates on the page for the historical marker. PS please ping next time--thanks. Drmies (talk) 17:11, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All good now. -- P 1 9 9✉ 18:01, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies and P199: I've never seen someone provide three noms with tangential involvement as a single QPQ. A QPQ generally has to be a full review, so I don't think I'd accept that as a QPQ. Sorry for pulling this at the last minute, Drmies; I can donate one of my own, if you'd like? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:51, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
theleekycauldron, if you do not accept my rather serious involvement with reviewing and editing those nominations and articles as the equivalent of a review, then I'd rather not accept that as a gift, thanks--I'll do a review shortly. Drmies (talk) 02:56, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All right – thanks, Drmies :) I know it's a hassle, but serious involvement generally isn't enough – requiring that there be a full review generally makes sure that 3+ QPQ credits don't come out of a single nomination. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 05:08, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies: no no, of course not! I meant 3+ separate people each claiming QPQ for the same nomination. I know you're a solid contributor :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 16:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
