Nagtahan Interchange

 * ... that the Rotonda de Sampaloc, now the Nagtahan Interchange, originally demarcated the boundary between Manila's suburbs and its urban core? Source: "Straddling the boundary between Sampaloc, San Miguel and Santa Mesa, the interchange was originally known as the Rotonda de Sampaloc, a roundabout which at the turn of the 20th century marked the boundary between Manila's urban core and its suburbs."

 * Symbol question.svg - review done. You get a pass on the newness. Please settle the other issues though. starship.paint ~  KO   04:24, 25 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Content check:
 * I don't see in the source #1 anything pertaining to Straddling the boundary between Sampaloc, San Miguel and Santa Mesa
 * rephrase the interchange was originally known as the Rotonda de Sampaloc to the interchange was originally the Rotonda de Sampaloc and you need to cite this with the "Disappearing history" The Freeman source.
 * expandin Quezon City to in Diliman, Quezon City per source #1.
 * In February 1990, the administration of President Corazon Aquino signed an agreement with Japan - don't see it in source #4.
 * doubling in the number of cars on Metro Manila roads in that same time frame -> suggest rephrase to doubling in the number of registered Metro Manila cars in that same time frame per the source #4
 * the stone foundations of the Nagtahan Interchange - need a source that the Nagtahan Bridge (per source #5) = Nagtahan Interchange.
 * Need a source for the whole lead/lede. The only source relevant is source #4 stating Nagtahan/R.M.Magsaysay road intersection three-level interchange facility but nothing more than that. starship.paint ~  KO   04:04, 25 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Note: the article was created on 9 October but nominated on 17 October. That's more than 7 days, but I would be loathe to disqualify this based on that, given that several September articles are still being reviewed. - could you comment or direct me to someone in charge of WP:DYK, I can't seem to find the list. starship.paint ~   KO   04:13, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Starship.paint, I generally wouldn't be too worried about a nomination that was less than 16 hours late, especially as it's been over a year since Sky Harbor nominated an article for DYK. Since the rules do allow a bit of leeway in this regard, I'd certainly be inclined to accept the nomination in terms of "newness". BlueMoonset (talk) 04:55, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. I must have been half asleep when I thought it was a 12 day gap. Oops. This gets a pass on newness, yay. starship.paint ~  KO   09:52, 25 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Article at >2000 characters is long enough
 * Sources are good.
 * Hook is short enough, passably interesting, but the sourcing is an issue: I can't see the words "stradding..." quoted in the source for the hook above. Does this have to do with zero images loading for that article?
 * Image is okay.
 * QPQ is not done. starship.paint ~  KO   04:22, 25 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I've notified nominator twice; no response so far. If more work gets done (addressing the above) and I don't reply (I'm quite busy), another editor may continue the review. starship.paint ~  KO   11:51, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I've been busy the last couple of weeks. However, I did take the time to review the changes requested and I did make a few changes of my own.
 * If you check a map of Metro Manila, you'll see that the roads forming the interchange are the boundaries between those three districts. I don't see why there needs to be a source for this.
 * Fixed
 * Done
 * This is implied. One, the Aquino administration was the one that certified the package is urgent, and two, the government is the signatory for the loan (the DPWH does not have the authority to sign loan agreements on its own, if that's what you're going to ask).
 * There is a picture that is supposed to be with that article, and the pillars are the pillars for the interchange rather than the bridge, since they're accessible from street level.
 * I'm working on everything else, so I do appreciate your patience. -- Sky Harbor ( talk ) 02:13, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Article looks good to me, and I think the two sources in the first sentence work together to support the hook. Not concerned about the "straddling" reference, which is sufficiently general (and using the coordinates in the article, true)., how about that QPQ? --Usernameunique (talk) 01:35, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Donating this QPQ to this nomination, which is all it was lacking. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:45, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
