Dodoma Region

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the Dodoma Region (mapped) in Tanzania has an area almost identical to that of Switzerland?

• ALT1:... that the Dodoma Region (mapped) contains the eponymous capital city of Tanzania?
• Reviewed: Not a self-nom.

5x expanded by Dr. Blofeld (talk). Nominated by Bloom6132 (talk) at 15:04, 22 September 2014 (UTC).

• This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The alt hook is not ideal in my opinion and I like the Switzerland hook except that I would substitute "almost identical to" for "slightly larger than". The area of Switzerland needs an inline citation. The map is appropriately licensed but would make an uninteresting DYK thumbnail. No policy issues found and no QPQ required.

Added inline citation for Switzerland's area. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:12, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

• Ready to go now that the hook is fully cited. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:55, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
