Brooklyn Naval Hospital

 * ... that the Brooklyn Naval Hospital treated almost a quarter of Union casualties during the American Civil War? Source: Brooklyn Daily Eagle 1948, p.11.

 * Comment: It is eligible per WP:DYKSG rule #A5, which was pointed out in this discussion. Most of the expansion occurred in the Brooklyn Navy Yard article on September 19-20 and was subsequently split to the Brooklyn Naval Hospital article (which was a redirect prior to the split). All expansion was by me. This is the relevant section on September 17, before I started expanding it.

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 16:18, 22 September 2018 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg. The article is new, as it had its prose portion expanded at least fivefold. The article is long enough, the prose portion is at least 1,500 characters. The article is within policy, neutral, well-cited, and well-written. Both of the hooks meet format, good size, interesting, well-cited. The nominator reviewed another article. Prefer the first hook, but ALT1 is also good. Sagecandor (talk) 03:03, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I confirm the review in all points. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:40, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
