Timing discrepancy

[edit]

User:Meanderingbartender, firstly, I thank you for writing this article. It is excellent and we need many more like it. However, I noticed that you wrote that Hall joined the Socialist Party during the Panic of 1893. Which socialist party? The Socialist Labor Party of America was the only nationally organized party at the time, but later it seems clear that he was also a member of the Socialist Party of America. Was he part of the group in the SLP which split to join Eugene Debs in 1901 to form the SP-A?--User:Namiba 17:23, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Namiba: Thank you kindly for your comment. No source is really clear when exactly or what party he joined. I haven't gotten a chance to read his autobiography. Those details might be in there. --Meanderingbartender (talk) 18:00, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Review by Lil-unique1
Article

  • New – within the past seven days, the article has been created (sandbox → mainspace is eligible); or had its prose portion expanded at least fivefold; or been promoted to good article status checkY
  • Long enough – the prose portion is at least 1,500 characters checkY
  • Within policy – meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular:is neutral, cites sources with inline citations is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism (plagiarism unlikely) checkY

Hook

  • Format – fewer than 200 characters (shorter is better) and meets the formatting guidelinescheckY
  • Content - interesting to a broad audiencecheckY(prefer ALT1), hook fact is accurate and cited with an inline citation in the article checkY, neutral and does not focus unduly on negative aspects of living people checkY

Other

  • QPQ – all nominators who have five or more DYK credits must review another article.checkY
  • Image must be free (no fair use) be used in the article show up well at small size (100 × 100px) n/a

Verdict

  • I agree with Lil-unique1 that this article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:27, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
