 * Comment: QPQ pending Now done

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This is an article on my watchlist, that I have edited previously, and has grown immensely and improved before my eyes. The article was substantial before and has grown more than 5x within the proper timeline, and is within policy regarding neutrality, sourcing and paraphrasing issues. The original hook is within length, and while pages 30-240 don't appear in my view of the article I'd accept AGF; my issue is that, as worded, the number is inflation adjusted and it's unclear that the fact is clear. ALT1 is acceptable on all fronts., looks great. Once QPQ has been met it's good to go. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the original hook. Alansohn (talk) 03:31, 9 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg A tick should never be given until all criteria are met; since the QPQ has not been supplied, I am superseding the approval with a proper icon for this nomination's current condition. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:04, 9 October 2016 (UTC)


 * OK, looks like I need to do a QPQ. I was waiting for a review first for some reason, since I edit in short limited periods of time. I'll have the QPQ done within the next few days. Otherwise, I'd like ALT1 as the hook displayed, given 's concerns about Hook 1. epicgenius (talk) 14:52, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * , you're absolutely correct about the tick; while I had assumed that all issues had been completed when I copied the tick mark, it is clear that the QPQ is still outstanding. Once takes care of the QPQ obligation, I will revisit and reevaluate. Alansohn (talk) 14:57, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I've done the QPQ now. epicgenius (talk) 18:19, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg with QPQ met, this nomination is ready to go. Sorry for the premature tick and for the delay in verifying. Alansohn (talk) 01:37, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's OK. It was my mistake to not do the QPQ first before nominating, which I did mainly because I didn't want to spend too much of my day working on a DYK nomination. So I split the DYK nom into two pieces, which, it turns out, didn't work out well. epicgenius - (talk) 18:15, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
