Bulverton[edit]
... that the view from Bulverton Hill which is thought to have inspired 19th century poet and hymn writer John Keble to compose some of his best loved work, Keble’s Seat at Bulverton Hill, is named after the English churchman and commands a breathtaking panoramic view of the Lower Otter Valley and Dartmoor in the distance?- ALT1:
... that since 1963, much of the Bulverton area has fallen under the East Devon AONB describing the overall landscape as: The East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) landscape is characterised by intimate wooded combes, vast areas of heathland, fertile river valleys and breathtaking cliffs or hilltops. It includes the East Devon section of the Jurassic Coast?

@Bulverton: Please fix the formatting of the proposed hook, and add a wikilink to the target article. HaEr48 (talk) 02:37, 13 March 2017 (UTC)- Both hooks are too long too - 200 character limit! Edwardx (talk) 22:33, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- What they said ;) - Please word new hooks, and keep in my mind that less is more. What would you think of this, for example:
- ALT2: ... that the view from Bulverton Hill is thought to have inspired John Keble to write some of his best-loved works?
- ALT3: ... that Bulverton includes the East Devon section of the Jurassic Coast?
The article is interesting, but needs many more inline citations, - single facts or paragraphs particularly referenced. Quotes absolutely need an inline citation. Please look how that is done in similar articles. It also needs the references formatted, not what we call "bare url": we'd like also title, publisher, author if known, date if known, accessdate. One problem I see with ALT2 is that readers would think it's about a hill. Also "is thought to have inspired" is not too factual. Good luck! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:39, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
The article was most recently expanded on January 29, well over a month prior to nomination, and was expanded from 2242 to 2384 prose characters, not even close to what is required. (The required minimum 5x expansion would have had to be to 11210 prose characters; this is more like 1.07x.) I don't see any way this can qualify for DYK at the present time. One eventual possibility is if it passes the GA nomination process and becomes a Good Article, it can be renominated here at DYK, but the article will need significant work to meet the GA criteria.
