NZS 3604

Created by Lcmortensen (talk). Self-nominated at 08:17, 25 July 2021 (UTC).

  • (Ran into an edit conflict, so this DYKN got reviewed twice—but I'll just keep my review here anyway.) Article was moved to mainspace the same day it was nominated. It's long enough, and Earwig detected no copyvio. Reliable sources and inline citations are used. QPQ done. I doubted the notability of the article at first, but from a quick look around WP, it seems like the notability criteria for building standards are fuzzy—a conversation for another time.
WP:MOS suggests that using "93 per cent" instead of "93%" or "ninety-three per cent" is OK. But to more accurately represent the source, I'm proposing ALT1: ... that technical standard NZS 3604 is used to design and construct about 93 per cent of New Zealand's light timber-framed buildings?
@Lcmortensen: Is ALT1 OK with you? —Cstickel(byu) (talk) 18:01, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
ALT1 is OK with me. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 20:01, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
I think it would be useful to point out that the only difference between the original hook and ALT1 is the insertion of "about" before "93 per cent". (I've struck the original hook.) Since I don't see that Cstickel(byu) had any other issues with the nomination aside from the hook's assertion of 93% without qualification, Lee Vilenski, could you please confirm whether the ALT1 hook is valid with the new qualification and if so add another tick below? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:02, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
, sure. I had forgotten about MOS:% Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 07:02, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
