(

)

... that Israel plans to build a railway from the Red Sea city of Eilat to its Mediterranean ports, that will compete with the Suez Canal?

Stub class articles are not eligible for DYK. Maile66 (talk) 14:51, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Maile66, I do not tend to assess articles I'm heavily involved in. It is clearly not a stub and has already been re-assessed by another editor. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 23:37, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh, that's great. The issue has been completely taken care of. Maile66 (talk) 23:50, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

It's looking good, Ynhockey. But the first paragraph under "Background" needs an inline citation. Do you think you would do that, and then we can pass this? Maile66 (talk) 13:44, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Also, could you do a QPQ review before we pass this? Maile66 (talk) 12:44, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I have sourced one of the sentences and reviewed two articles. You'd be surprised at how difficult general historical facts are to source. Since it's not a requirement for DYK that every single statement is sourced, I believe we should leave it like that for now, and I will find a source for those other statement sometime. Alternatively I can remove them if you believe they are disputed. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 11:15, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

QPQ completed; sourcing changes need reviewing. BlueMoonset (talk) 11:02, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Good to go. 5X expansion by June 2. Length is good. Hook is sourced in English. QPQ done. All paragraphs sourced. No copyvio found. AGF on Hebrew sources. Maile66 (talk) 21:26, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
