 * a) Script report: Prose size (text only): 1417 B (233 words) "readable prose size" b) article lead says Goldie Blox is a toy company, hook says, it is a toy, c) please add a citation right after the "hook" in the lead. d)As the percentage of women in engineering was only 10% while she was studying — where? state, country or globally? -- Tito ☸ Dutta 07:16, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * a) Prose size (text only): 1521 characters (253 words) "readable prose size" (it doesn't seem to count quotes, hmm.) ✅ Okay, will add some words. b) It is both the company and the toy, does the lead need to say that? ✅ c) I thought citations were for the body of the article, not the lead. The hook info shows up in almost every source and is referenced in the body. d) I have no idea, the articles don't say, but what I wrote is in the sources. I guess I can check if any are more clear. ✅ heather walls (talk) 07:24, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Excellent. a) It has now 1521 B (253 words) "readable prose size" (script report, it was written before the edit conflict), b) article created on 3 July, nominated today c) no copyvio, close paraphrasing found (using DYK tool) d) hook is a really very interesting one (though after reading the article I became curious to learn about i) toy(s) structure (i.e. how to play the game(s))? and ii) price of the toys, are those affordable?, anyway, those are not required here and absolutely not part of DYK criteria. Over all excellent work. Should be good to go. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 07:48, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
