The hooks are interesting and article is now nicely-constructed, but it appears not to be eligible for DYK. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:12, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * (alt)... that during World War II, civilians evacuated from Gibraltar (see statue) were moved to Morocco, Madeira, England and Jamaica?
 * Symbol delete vote.svg The prose portion of this article has been expanded from 5273 characters to 6432. That falls a long way short of the eligibility criterion 1b: "other articles in which the prose portion has been expanded fivefold or more within the past five days".

The first hook is slightly misleading, because it appears to imply that London was the destination for all evacuees. The ALT hook is more complete description of what happened, so it is preferable. Alternatively, I suggest ALT2 below, which is the original hook with an added number. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I think you've missed that this GibraltarpediA article was moved into main space on 4th September. I should have mentioned that. Sorry. Victuallers (talk) 06:52, 6 September 2012 (UTC):
 * Ooops! I had indeed missed that the page was moved from userspace to mainspace. Sorry for my oversight, and thanks for pointing it out so graciously. I have struck my comments about length. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:20, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article length (6432) is fine, and so is age (moved to mainspace on 4 September). The online refs check out, so AGF on offline refs.
 * ALT2:... that during World War II, 10,000 civilians evacuated from Gibraltar (see statue) were moved to London? -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ALT3:... that during World War II, 10,000 civilian Gibraltarians were evacuated from Gibraltar (see statue) to Morocco, Madeira, England and Jamaica? --Gibmetal 77 talk 2 me 22:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
