Lalique, Wingen-sur-Moder

 * ... that since 1921, Wingen-sur-Moder is home to the only Lalique glass production facility?

 * Comment: Lalique is new (created 16 June) and Wingen-sur-Moder has been expanded 5-fold (also on 16 June).

5x expanded by AHeneen (talk). Self-nominated at 21:25, 16 June 2015 (UTC).


 * ::Symbol question.svg Wingen-sur: was 701 characters (118 words) on 19 May 2015 before current edit began and is now 5330 characters (855 words), exceeds 5x expansion. It is neutral, cited with in-line sources, no apparent close paraphrasing and I really enjoyed the comprehensive nature of the article. Hook length is fine. However, the hook citation is to a YouTube video which says it is the only factory but doesn't give a date. A quick web search showed he had another factory here page 116 and that both factories closed during WWII; only this one reopened. QPQ Done. Need to address the dating issue.
 * On Lalique, 2009 entry was a redirect to designer Rene Lalique, not the glassworks. (In the lede, shouldn't the factory be called a glassworks and the people who work there glassmakers?) Thus is indeed a new article nominated on the date is was created. 3988 characters (631 words) exceeds minimum length requirement. Article is neutral, cited with in-line sources and no apparent close paraphrasing. I do not see the hook stated nor cited in the 2nd article. QPQ is done. For this one need to input the hook.
 * Really enjoyed reading both and learning about them. Thanks for the articles. SusunW (talk) 23:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I see that the Combes-la-Ville factory closed in 1937, so I propose alt1:
 * Alt1: ... that Wingen-sur-Moder is home to the only Lalique glass production facility?
 * There was one mention of "glassmaking factory" in the Wingen-sur-Moder article (in the History section) that I changed to "glassworks". I believe that is what you were referring to, as there is no issues with either article's lede. AHeneen (talk) 02:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg'm good with that. The actual lede I was looking at was in the other article "Lalique is a French glassmaker, founded by renowned glassmaker and jeweller René Lalique" Would it be more proper to say is a "French glassworks founded by ..." but it matters not. The hook is now added. GTG SusunW (talk) 03:58, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
