 * For Elkhorn Grade Electrification
 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough (over 2,800 characters), and generally within policy: it is certainly neutral, well supported with inline citations (although many are to a book to which I do not have access, so I am accepting them in good faith), and free from any plagiarism or other copyright concerns that I can detect.


 * For N&W LC-1
 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough (over 2,500 characters), and within basic policy: like the previous article, it is neutral, well referenced with inline citations (although I am again accepting many in good faith), and free of any detectable plagiarism or copyright issues (the one direct quote is not unnecessarily long). My one suggestions would be adding a cited note about the LC-1s being scrapped into the prose of the article (presumably found in the Middleton book, based on how the infobox is cited), although this certainly isn't a dealbreaker for passing this DYK nomination.


 * Hook
 * Symbol voting keep.svg The hook is short enough, properly formatted, certainly interesting, neutral, and referenced properly with an inline citation (although to the Middleton book, to which I do not have access, so I am accepting it in good faith).


 * Other
 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ has been done (due to the amount of shared material between these two articles, I don't think it would be fair to ask for a second review), and the photo selected for the hook is in the public domain and used in both of the nominated articles. It also looks good at small size and, in my opinion, would work well on the main page.


 * Overall
 * Symbol voting keep.svg All in all, good to go, accepting the Middleton references in good faith. Nice work as always, ! Michael Barera (talk) 20:50, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
