 * * Please note Eligibility Criteria, Para 1d. Moonraker, you are mistaken. This article was moved out of McMormor's user space into the mainspace on the day it was nominated.   Thus it is considered a new article and it is clearly long enough (expansion not a factor). --Mike Cline (talk) 14:02, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Many apologies. The article was in user space for two years, with a variety of users (including IPs) editing it, and I missed the move to mainspace on 28 August. It clearly is new enough. However, I have now looked at the online citation which follows the hook and it says rather less than the hook does. The mention of Hormay is "the rest-rotation grazing system then being suggested by Gus Hormay, who had designed and would oversee the research at the Matador... Today, at age 92, Hormay still visits test plots on the Matador..." Another citation, (here), does not seem to mention Hormay. This one says of the Matador scheme "Creator: Hormay, A.L. ... Date: 1974-1997 ... Summary: Matador multiple-use management plan (unknown date) ... Sage Creek Rest Rotation graphs and tables on herd performance from 1974-1990." Can we please have a hook which says what the source for it says? Moonraker (talk) 15:06, 7 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll get McMormor, who is a lot closer to this subject than I am to work on the hook. --Mike Cline (talk) 16:52, 7 September 2013 (UTC)


 * It's been over three weeks, and McMormor hasn't edited on Wikipedia since September 6. Mike, it's up to you whether this nomination continues or is closed: we need a valid hook. Also, both hook and article need to reflect what the sources say; they shouldn't disagree on facts. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:08, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Have been unable to engage McMormor over the last few weeks. Don't know why! Thus will respectfully withdraw the nomination. Thanks for the patience.-- 75.149.26.238 (talk) 14:43, 2 October 2013 (UTC) I guess I wasn't logged in! --Mike Cline (talk) 15:11, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
