Template:Did you know nominations/Collier Bay (horse) & Danoli

Collier Bay (horse), Danoli

 * ... that the media and the crowd at the 1996 Irish Champion Hurdle were more enthusiastic about Danoli finishing in third place than Collier Bay winning by a head?
 * Comment: [1] Not a self-nom. --PFHLai (talk) 23:24, 24 July 2012 (UTC) [2] The runner-up Minella Lad does not have a wikiarticle yet. Potential for a triple-nom? --PFHLai (talk) 12:36, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is within policy, hook is interesting and does not focus on any negative aspect. Well cited. Well structured. I think it is good to go! Khyati Gupta (talk) 03:46, 15 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Review only mentions one article, but there are two articles in the hook. This means that both articles must be fully reviewed. Can whichever one that was not reviewed be reviewed? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:38, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * From the Collier bay article: "Collier Bay's win was almost ignored, as the crowd and media focused their attention on the popular Danoli, who was returning after a career-threatening injury." was cited. And I checked the citation which matches with the citation done for Danoli article: " His comeback from injury was received with such enthusiasm by the public and the media that the winner, Collier Bay was virtually ignored." Both were cited from "The Independent" which is a reliable source for news. I read through the cited article and thought it was relevant. And as I read through both of the nominated wiki articles, they seem neutral and were not negatively biased. Khyati Gupta (talk) 20:48, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding; I see you've checked the Hook section requirements. You do not mention whether both articles have enough new material: as it happens, a quick check shows that Danoli meets the 5x expansion requirement, and Collier Bay, a newly created article, is over the 1500 prose character minimum. Did you check them both for close paraphrasing, the last item in the "Within policy" section? That's also important. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:57, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not seeing any close paraphrasing on spotcheck, though I would suggest a copy-edit on Danoli. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Danoli and Collier Bay have one and two uncited paragraphs, respectively. Please replace the 'citation needed' tags with references before this can be promoted.  Schwede 66  19:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote4.png Tigerboy has thrown in more refs. Better now? --PFHLai (talk) 11:47, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

From my perspective, that should do the trick now. Based on Nikkimaria's comments above, I have given Danoli another careful read, but I couldn't say what requires a copy-edit. I'll ping her through her talk page.  Schwede 66  04:28, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed some here; otherwise, a few missing commas and some sections that are confusing to non-experts...but I think it's good enough that the nom need not be held up over prose. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:47, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Good catch, Nikkimaria. Thanks. Dunno why I could not see them earlier... --PFHLai (talk) 14:28, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I see; I was proofing the text that had already been copy-edited (no wonder I couldn't spot anything). Good to go then.  Schwede 66  21:11, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
