 * Comment: This won't appear on DYK on 11 February, consensus on WT:DYK was to not take part in any of the surveillance proposals as it would be a NPOV violation.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 17:18, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The nominator now has "Semi-retired" on his user page and talk pages. The review used as QPQ was only three words: "Appropriate link, interesting". So it does not qualify as QPQ, but the nominator did not have enough DYKs to need a QPQ anyway.  I reviewed The Elsrtee Project.  — Maile  (talk) 17:51, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Given recent issues with close paraphrasing and copyvio from this author—see WT:DYK—this nomination should not be approved without a thorough check in these areas. Potential reviewers please take note. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In addition to being "retired", the editor was blocked indefinitely on Feb 13, so he couldn't currently resolve any issues on this nomination if he wanted to. — Maile (talk) 01:05, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Dull hook. What else would a surveillance network do? Or be? Daniel Case (talk) 07:11, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg The content issues remain unaddressed, and are coupled with the unresolved block. The editor appears unlikely to return in the near future, and other editors have not come forward in more than a week to address issues. It therefore seems to me that this nomination will not be promoted. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 15:18, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
