QPQ: Nuclear Gandhi


  • Article is new, long enough and interestng. It cites sources with inline citations. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports no significant text similarities on online sources. I AGF for offline sources. The hook is well-formatted and interesting. I assume that IBM 9900 is not a machine, but a type of punch card. Its length is within limit. The hook's fact needs to be cited inline, right after the sentence. It seems that no QPQ is required as having less than five DYK credits. Aprovaş will follow after the a.m. issue is addressed.

@CeeGee: This is a composite hook formed from the content of the chapter with ref #4. QPQ is required and provided. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:49, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CeeGee: The QPQ was there, just not printing out for some reason. The IBM 9900 is a machine. I don't understand the issue with the punch card? The hook states the 9900 is a type of automation using punch cards. I do not see a grammar issue. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:22, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see an issue with the punched card wording. It's quite clear to me that the IBM 9900 was a machine that used punched cards as their method of information input. The hook's wording does make it seem like Taube built it himself (rather than partnered with IBM, and with a team). CeeGee's concerns about in-line citations remains. Per DYK rules, the citations need to appear at the end of the relevant sentences in the article. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:55, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
