Date, hook and length look good.It's good to go. FITINDIA 13:19, 11 July 2017 (UTC)- @Northamerica1000: I was looking to promote this, but thought that a more interesting hook would be
- ALT1 ... that soldiers in the American Civil War referred to cheese and crackers as a "square meal"? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:05, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
That's fine by me. Adding new review needed marker for the new alt. Pinging Fitindia in hopes that the alt can also be reviewed. North America1000 17:02, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Yes I think ALT1 is a much more interesting hook. Pinging Cwmhiraeth. FITINDIA 17:10, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Fitindia: you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. So far your review covers newness, length, and (I think) cited hook. Please also check for neutrality, close paraphrasing, and completed QPQ. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:43, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- No copyright issues and is neutral. The QPQ is done. FITINDIA 04:54, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I do not see the ALT1 hook fact in the source. The source describes the soldiers' meal and then says that "more than one clever wit" called it a "square meal". It doesn't say who the "clever wit" was; it could have been a journalist, too. Yoninah (talk) 22:07, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I have added the following sources listed below to the article to further verify. Another option is to skip the ALT and just go with the initial hook. North America1000 22:20, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
