Per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/GibraltarPediA Options, Gibraltar-related articles are temporarily being reviewed by two individuals. In addition to the regular DYK criteria, at least one reviewer should also indicate whether they perceive any conflict of interest or promotional concerns about the article under review. IP addresses are not allowed to do the reviews.

Review 1:
Nice article. No promotion or COI, not least because the place doesn't exist any more. Page size and length are both fine. Sourcing looks OK, the article is well written and illustrated as usual. This one's fine. Prioryman (talk) 22:50, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your review. Anne (talk) 20:41, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Review 2:
The article is new enough and long enough and passes all the DYK criteria. It is not promotional and my quibble is with the hook. I see no reference in the article to O'Hara being known as "Old Cock of the Rock". How about: Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:04, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that O'Hara's Tower was built in the mistaken belief that it would enable the garrison at Gibraltar to spy on ships massing at Cadiz?

I think I will have to pick up the baton on this one as Anne seems to have left Wikipedia. I don't see any problem with ALT1 - let's use it. Prioryman (talk) 21:56, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Hook needs an independent reviewer to confirm. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:55, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Hook ALT1 is in article, cited and confirmed twice in two references. Good to go Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:07, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
