There are two problems:

  • The citation given for the hook is okay, but not in the article itself. The wrong URL seems to have been used for reference 4 - it is the same as reference 1, so it does not match the description.
  • Large slabs of text have been copied from the source at www.metalocus.es/en/news/ryerson-university-student-learning-centre-snohetta-zeidler, which is a serious copyright violation and must be fixed or removed immediately. For example, the following is identical in the article to the source:

"Zeidler first joined an architectural firm with Blackwell and Craig in Peterborough, Ontario. He later relocated to Toronto in 1963 and worked for the firm became Craig, Zeidler and Strong until 1975. One of the essential elements of his early works is his employment of striking interior atrium space, which became widespread on an international level during the 1970s. Moreover, his experience in the Bauhaus school made him familiar with the technological matters in building design. These included structural and mechanical services (most notably, exposed air-handling ducts), as well as aspects that ease movement and communication. This was exemplified in the McMaster University Health Science Centre, his breakthrough project, which was meant to resemble a large construction set for children. The building utilized regular geometric building modules, coupled with glazed service and circulation towers, internally exposed steel trusses, ducts, and an automated materials delivery system. Most of Zeidler's structures were public buildings."

Apart from that:

  • Article is new enough (5x expanded on 8 January, nominated on 12 January), long enough (4429 characters/ 723 words readable prose size), is neutrally worded, has adequate inline citations (except for the problem noted).
  • The hook is correctly formatted, suitable length, inoffensive, and agrees with the source.Gronk Oz (talk) 08:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bloom6132: After a bit of research, I have been able to find that the metalocus site was last updated on 2022-01-11T11:07Z. So I am happy to combine that with AGF and approve the DYK. Oh, I also verified the change to Reference 4 is right now.
