 * Symbol question.svg New enough (started July 6), long enough (prose portion is 1,600 characters without spaces), and within policy. The hook is short enough (150 characters with spaces), neutral, accurate, sourced, and interesting to a broad audience. Just waiting on the QPQ. Is there a reason that San Diego Central Courthouse is linked twice in the article and is a red link? « Gonzo fan2007   (talk)  @ 18:14, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * QPQ added above. The double link for the courthouse article is in compliance with MOS:DUPLINK; the building is notable enough for its own article, and I might get around to creating it if no one else does.  Sounder Bruce  23:15, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * MOS:DUPLINK says that double linking should be used if it is helpful for the reader. I am finding it difficult to see how it is that helpful for the reader, considering the links are only 30 words and only a few lines apart depending on your computer screen. It doesn't really bother me for this DYK, I just don't see the purpose of having two red links so close together. « Gonzo fan2007   (talk)  @ 04:15, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All issues are now satisfied. « Gonzo fan2007   (talk)  @ 04:15, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I have some questions. I think it would be more hooky to say "in front of" rather than "next to" the courthouse. Also, could we pipe the link to Courthouse light rail station, or just a light rail station to give readers an idea of what you're talking about? Yoninah (talk) 00:20, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that the siting of a trolley station in San Diego, California, in front of the new courthouse was opposed by court officials and the county sheriff?
 * Rewrote the hook per your suggestions.  Sounder Bruce  00:39, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
