Nailsea Glassworks

 * ... that Nailsea Glassworks is covered in sand?

Created by Rodw (talk). Nominated by Pigsonthewing (talk) at 11:19, 1 January 2015 (UTC).


 * Symbol possible vote.svgnthewing, Rodw; QPQ needed. Copyvio checked. Very interested hook. But the ref cited does not have the cited fact about sand. Verification failed. Redtigerxyz  Talk 19:13, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't nominate this article (although I was intending to later). If I do a review the QPQ detector may not show it up as the nominator - would this be appropriate? I can't find a RS reference specifically saying "sand" - this was taken from the existing Nailsea article (and has been picked up by Flikr & other non RS sites). I have added several references to the article, one of which says "sand-like substance". &mdash; Rod talk 21:29, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No QPQ needed, as I'm the nominator, but Rodw is the author. Perhaps an alternative hook would be better? Maybe Alt: ... that Nailsea Glassworks` third cone was called Lily? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:36, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Andy Mabbett, As per the updated rules of WP:QPQ, if the nominator has more than 5 credits, he needs to review. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 05:09, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * News to me. Nomination withdrawn; that will be my last third-party nomination. Well done everyone. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:36, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Andy Mabbett, I agree with you. The rules discourage third-party nominations. But I cannot pass this article, considering the new rules. Redtigerxyz  Talk 13:19, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

In the light of the comment above I have asked for advice at Wikipedia talk:Did you know on whether this should be closed/archived and a new one started or I should just do a QPQ and put it here.&mdash; Rod talk 12:46, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Rod, Anyway you will need a QPQ for your self-nomination too. We can continue here. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 13:19, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I have reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Padbury Hoard although the article is now Lenborough Hoard I don't think adding in the reviewed parameter into the template at this stage would be appropriate.&mdash; Rod talk 15:42, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Rod, I still can't find "sand"; can you come up with ALT hooks. Redtigerxyz  Talk 16:15, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * 3353-602 (2751 B) size. Removing reused sentences. Redtigerxyz  Talk 16:22, 3 January 2015 (UTC)


 * ALT1 - ... that experimental work on the production of cylinder glass was carried out at Nailsea Glassworks?
 * ALT2 - ... that "Nailsea glass" was a byproduct of the Nailsea Glassworks?
 * Either of those any good?&mdash; Rod talk 16:25, 3 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT2 not in article. ALT1 checks out. Copyvio and rest checked as above. Redtigerxyz Talk 16:45, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
