James Sullivan (Medal of Honor)

[edit]
  • Comment: Created as part of an educational assignment. I believe that therefore Aporter90 need not do a review, but I will ask she do one anyway--as part of the class.

Created by Aporter90 (talk). Nominated by Dr Aaij (talk) at 18:06, 7 March 2017 (UTC).

  • Ed, you can be modest if you like. DYK official, please also give Ed credit for this--there's more here than the article edits, which themselves are already enough. Dr Aaij (talk) 17:18, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
  • QPQ done at Template:Did you know nominations/Mendip Hospital, Template:Did you know nominations/Mary Ivy Burks. Dr Aaij (talk) 17:19, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
  • New enough (moved from User:Aporter90/James Sullivan (Medal of Honor) on March 1, 2017), long enough (2,014 characters (367 words) "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook fine, supported by online reference to RS. Scrambles in under the limit at 196 characters. QPQ done. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:26, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
    Note that I performed some minor copyediting on the article and the hook. The article has been rated as Start class. It would have been B class had an image or infobox been included. A pity he rests in the United States, where there are few Wikipedians; if he was in Europe or Australia we could have sent a Wiki-photographer take a photo of his grave.

  • Thanks Hawkeye7. There was an image, but it did not get the proper copyright clearance, and Ms. Porter and I live a bit far away, and our Spring Break consists of doing what we always do--taking care of our children and folding laundry. Wait--an infobox means a higher rating? That's news to me, but easily taken care of. Dr Aaij (talk) 15:16, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
