William Brydone Jack Observatory

[edit]

The William Brydone Jack Observatory

5x expanded by HazelAB (talk). Self nominated at 23:37, 15 June 2014 (UTC).

  • The article seems fine: expanded fivefold, date is correct, no problems with content, nominator has already reviewed another article. However, the hook has too many blue links. First, I would remove "astronomical observatory", as everybody knows what is that. And second, saying "in modern Canada" would be more user-friendly than "in X political subdivision that does no longer exist". The article quotes a plaque that says that, "First Astronomical Observatory in Canada", it may be a good idea to do the same. Cambalachero (talk) 02:52, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
