... that the first courses at No. 3 Elementary Flying Training School RAAF (Tiger Moths pictured) in World War II were run not by the air force but by civil organisations under government contract?

Reviewed by Green Giant, using the following criteria:

Article nominated 3 days after creation, but also promoted to GA on same day as nomination
Long enough - "4764 characters (750 words) of readable prose size"
Within policy – neutral, cites sources with inline citations, free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism

Will assume good faith for the two offline sources used in the article

Hook is 187 characters, article name is linked and in bold

Hook is interesting and neutral
→ Hook does not have an inline citation in the article

Nominator has reviewed another nomination
The associated image is free, used in the article and shows up well at 100x100

This nomination meets all the requirements except that the hook does not have an inline citation. Green Giant (talk) 00:38, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, tks for reviewing. The two citations for the info in the hook-related sentence in the article are the same as for the sentence following, so I didn't repeat them. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:38, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

I understand what you mean but I think for the purposes of DYK it would be better to have at least one of the citations immediately after the words "under contract to the government,"; probably the no.9 citation (Gillison 1962) would be best. Green Giant (talk) 13:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Heh, well I've come up with a solution that I think satisfies DYK convention while remaining true to the actual information/source relationship... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:53, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Fantastic. Thanks for your quick response. Green Giant (talk) 17:52, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
