Robespierre Monument (Moscow)
[edit]- ... that the Robespierre Monument erected in Moscow in 1918 was made of concrete and had collapsed four days later?
Created by Stamboliyski (talk). Nominated by Innotata (talk) at 06:12, 15 November 2014 (UTC).
The hook facts need an inline citations for the concrete, the date/year of erection and the 7th November date, or three days (or should it be four?). At the moment the article just says "a few days". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:40, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Stamboliyski: I assume the sources listed very all these facts, eh? I guess they should be given at the end of each sentence used for the hook or whatever… —innotata 04:29, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- That's how I intended it, yes. As for the days, it was raised on the 3rd, and collapsed sometime during the night between 6 and 7 November, so I counted it as three. Stamboliyski (talk) 10:47, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- The collapsing monument is interesting but the hook facts need inline citations according to DYK rules. If Stamboliyski does not want to add any further citations, how about this alternative hook that is already fully cited: Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:02, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: I think Stamboliyski has confirmed that there are inline citations, and I've made them more dense as DYK criteria suggest. —innotata 03:55, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
ALT1 ... that the Robespierre Monument in Moscow was commissioned by Lenin as part of his "monumental propaganda" plan?
- Well, "monumental propaganda" is sadly a very poor article. I don't know how I feel about linking to it. Stamboliyski (talk) 19:30, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The original hook facts are now fully cited. The article is neutral but I could not access any of the sources to check for close paraphrasing. Because of the uncertainty of whether the statue collapsed on day 3 or day 4, I thought it safest to tweak the hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:21, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
