Created by Giants2008 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC).
New article is 22,323 characters long and nominated on the same day as first expansion. No copyvios detected and duplication detector [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] reveal no close paraphrasing issues. Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 120 characters long (ALT1 is 130); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Ref 53 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from MLB.com. AGF ref 63 (verifying ALT 1) which is not available on Google Books preview. QPQ done. Image is free and in public domain. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:06, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this. I think you should say more than just what's in ALT0, but I wondering if something like this would appeal to a wider audience than just us baseball fans?- ALT2: ... that the record 56-game hitting streak of Major League Baseball player Joe DiMaggio (pictured), which ended 79 years ago today, is considered unbreakable? Yoninah (talk) 23:07, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: That looks fine to me and the unbreakable line is already cited in the body. I say go with your version. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:20, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. @Bloom6132: would you mind reviewing ALT2? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 10:50, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- ALT2 is 154 characters long and is verified by ref 53. Good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 14:48, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
