Hi Bruxton, nice article. I'll take a look at this one. Article was created on 11 September and exceeds minimum length. Many sources are offline but I found no issues with overly close paraphrasing from the online ones. I am not familiar with numismatics sources but didn't spot anything obviously unreliable. I had a few comments you may want to look at before I complete the review - Dumelow (talk) 07:29, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Per WP:DYKCITE "The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear ... Citations at the end of the paragraph are not sufficient". This would need to be addressed for ALT0 and ALT2 to be considered
- "The 1899 series replaced the 1896 Educational Series notes which featured history instructing." - I didn't understand this, is the latter part of the sentence missing?
- "the value of the notes is dependent on both condition and who signed the note" - maybe should be "value of the note to modern-day collectors" to make it clear they were all worth $1 at the time.
- Thank you for the review @Dumelow:. I think I have fixed those areas of the article. Welcome back, I have missed seeing your contributions. Bruxton (talk) 14:36, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, good to be back! Completing the review, AGF on offline sources used in the article for the hooks; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing from the online sources; image is good quality and properly licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 06:47, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
