- Reviewed: Not a self-nomination
Improved to Good Article status by ChrisGualtieri (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 01:12, 20 October 2014 (UTC).
Article qualifies as long enough, and is submitted as a Good Article. Spot checks reveal no plagiarism. Cites do not contain bare URLs, so they are okay. Hook is true, cited and only 157 characters long , but dull as dishwater. Images check out. I supplied ALT1; it may have to have a cite moved up from paragraph's end to the end of that particular sentence.- ALT1 needs check by another editor. Also, are you going to list the DYK nom on the article talk page?Georgejdorner (talk) 20:29, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. I checked the suggested alt1 hook, but could not find the "sparkplug lighthouse" mentioned in the nearest citation (at the end of the paragraph). Which other reference contains this fact? I would support this hook if it can be referenced. Also, I normally do not list the DYK nom on the article talk page; DYK appearances are listed there anyway. Oceanh (talk) 07:00, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- As it turns out, the "spark plug" reference is to citation number 2. I would have copied it in at the end of the relevant sentence if I had understood the citation style. A quick multi-ref in the proper style, and that should be taken care of, once you find an impartial editor to approve it.
- I mentioned that the DYK nomination is missing from the article talk page because posting the nom there is part of the DYK nomination process.Georgejdorner (talk) 15:07, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't know you needed another ref for it, the term "sparkplug" is very general whereas the NRHP uses the technical "...is significant as a typical example of a pre-fabricated cast-iron conical lighttower on cast-iron tubular foundation." I repaired the Lighthouse friends link which was somehow broken. Dull as dishwater, but lighttowers and lighthouses are actually far more popular than my typical NRHP entries. Visually speaking - it has excellent proportions and lighthouses such as this generate lots of interest - but sparkplugs are amongst the least "loved" types.

ALT1 needs review now that it's been cited. Have stuck original hook as not only incredibly dull, but as a copyvio—it's an exact copy of words quoted in the article; while the quotes could be added here, the hook so badly fails the "interesting" test that its not acceptable for DYK use.

This newly promoted GA is long enough and nominated in the correct time period. The ALT1 hook fact is cited and acceptable. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
