• ... that the Battle of Marilao River was one of the most celebrated river crossings during the Philippine-American War?

• Less than 1300 characters in prose. Article is recently expanded but still too short. Samar ^Talk 12:32, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

• All right, the article is expanded and meets min requirement. But the problem is with the hook. The statement seems to be suggesting that the battle was a celebrated river crossing - was the whole battle about the crossing of river alone? Secondly, the hook is cited to ref# 3, The Philippine War, 1899-1902, but the book is not available so I cannot confirm the hook. Is there any other source where this fact is explicitly mentioned?

• Nominator is required to submit a quid pro quo (QPQ) review within a week's time, and is reminded that QPQ's are always required when submitting a DYK nomination after the first five. Work continues on the article, but there is no sign of a willingness to do the review that is required for each submission to DYK. An indication that this requirement is understood would be a welcome step. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:00, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
• Article expanded and QPQ done. Please address the issues with hook. a) In the current reference (Americans Advance To Malolos, March 24-31, 1899) I did not find any mention of 'most celebrated' or 'celebrated' river crossing. b) The hook suggests that the battle was the river crossing. It needs to be rephrased. Samar ^Talk 07:21, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
