 * Symbol confirmed.svg Length and newness check.File:Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom (1801-1816).svg has an acceptable copyright tag.  Article has inline citations to support most of text.  Check of book sources on Google Books shows no concerns with plagiarism and that the text is supported by the references. Hook is properly formatted.   The article is neutral enough.  The nominator has reviewed another article. Hook is interesting and neutral.
 * Symbol question.svg Article has an unsourced portion. The hook is from this section and the hook is thus uncited. An alternative hook would need to be given and the text removed before passing. The problem is the word temporary.  If removed from the hook and if the unsourced section removed, DYK would be good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 01:49, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Nominator has fixed problems on page and article and hook are now fully cited. Good to go! --LauraHale (talk) 01:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Protection of Stocking Frames, etc. Act 1788 - ALT1
 * Actually, could I extend the hook (my additional review is that of Christa Reinig):
 * ALT1: *... that in 1812, the British government temporarily made the crime of machine-breaking punishable by death despite Parliament having rejected the same suggestion in 1788?

 * I is a cranky pants. :P If the red link in this one becomes a DYK in this... :P (*pat pats*) Symbol confirmed.svg Length and timeliness of second article are go. Article is supported by inline citations. Image gas copyright tag. Quick scan of sources does not give me cause for concern copyright wise. The sources support the text and the hooked text.  (This took a reading of a few paragraphs to make sure it was clear the consensus was overwhelming but yeah, sourced text does that.)  Article is neutral enough.  Hook is properly formatted and interesting enough.
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg I am going to assume good faith that all sources would pass the reliability test.  The top of the doc file suggests peer review by a supervisor but the full citation doesn't fully explain that. --LauraHale (talk) 20:16, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 with two expands is good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 20:16, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
