Jean Castaing, Castaing machine

 * ... that the Castaing machine (pictured), a seventeenth-century device created by Jean Castaing, was capable of applying edge lettering to 20,000 coins daily?
 * Reviewed: Wilhelm Nikolaus Suksdorf, Suksdorfia violacea, Alfred Lindon
 * Comment: I worked on these two articles in my user space, and moved them to main space tonight. Thanks in advance to the reviewer!-RHM22 (talk) 07:09, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Alright, going through the checklist: both check out as new enough, both are definitely long enough, and I don't think I see any policy issues. Hook is good, and I'll AGF on the foreign-language source (my French is embarrassingly poor). The QPQ checks out, as does the image. The only problem I can see is that the note on Castaing's biography seems like it should be sourced, although it probably is and I'm not seeing it. Other than that possible concern, this appears great. - A Texas Historian (Talk to me) 02:09, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, A Texas Historian, for your review! I'm not entirely clear on your meaning. Did you mean that the information regarding applying edge lettering to 20,000 coins should be in both articles? I don't believe that is necessary, but it's not specifically elucidated in the DYK rules, so I have added that to the Jean Castaing article.-RHM22 (talk) 02:47, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * My apologies for the ambiguity. I was referring to the note about Martin Masselin in the Jean Castaing article. - A Texas Historian (Talk to me) 02:50, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * A Texas Historian: Oh, I see what you mean! Sorry about that; I can be a bit thick at times. Anyway, I've fixed that now. I meant to add a reference there before, but it slipped my mind. Thanks again for your thorough review.-RHM22 (talk) 02:57, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg It's alright, I can be rather vague at times. These articles now appear to go beyond the DYK criteria. Nice work! - A Texas Historian (Talk to me) 03:10, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg you have to do two QPQs for two bolded links. That should allow it to be promoted. --ceradon  ( talk  •  contribs ) 20:16, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, ceradon; I thought I was meant to review a nomination containing two articles. I have added another review above. Thanks!-RHM22 (talk) 03:35, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Very well. Closing and promoting to prep 4. Thanks, --ceradon ( talk  •  contribs ) 03:45, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
