 * ... that Operation Head Start, the predecessor to Operation Chrome Dome, was based at Loring Air Force Base?
 * Reviewed: Episode 14 (Twin Peaks)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg It's new enough (although the expansion occurred on 6 August, not 9 August, so it should be moved to that date), it's long enough, neutral, short enough hook. No image.
 * The issues with the nomination are as follows:
 * 1. Only a single source is cited, which is a film at Youtube. According to supplementary rule D12: "Multiple sources are generally required...".
 * 2. The hook fact is not cited in the article. Specifically, the "...predecessor to Operation Chrome Dome..." bit is not cited.
 * 3. As for the QPQ requirement, I'm not quite sure that "It's good!" counts as a review, especially as this seems to be the only type of review the nominator is doing. Manxruler (talk) 14:18, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I added two sources, cited the hook, and as for the reviewing thing, I actually would love to know if I'm supposed to give more specific reviews, as I'm used to the old way of doing it. I gave it a quick lookover, with the sources, length, hook, and everything else checking out. As a result, I reviewed it. Then again, I'm used to more AFC-style reviews, so if you want a more thorough review in the future, please let me know! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:02, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Re-reviewing. #1 taken care of. As for #3, what I'm saying is that stating what things you've done is helpful for everybody, including the nominator. Quite a few people just gloss over things very superficially. Among the things we're supposed to do is checking for copyvio and plagiarism, which requires a certain level of thoroughness. As for #2, I can't actually find a reference to Op. Chrome Dome in the George Washington University source, could you point out for me where in the US Air Force document I can find it? The search function in that document doesn't seem to help. Manxruler (talk) 00:57, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Further, is the title of the article correct? Both the film and the George Washington University source appears to use "Headstart". Manxruler (talk) 01:02, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Relating to #3: Old issue on reviewing - specifics about what points are checked. Manxruler (talk) 08:23, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Only unreliable sources say that it was a predecessor, as nothing outright says it. It was more of a testbed for the subject from the looks of it, but there is nothing stating that. In terms of reviewing, I would be more than happy to do that in the future. Also, the title is something I considered when making it, and I have come to that conclusion that it is correct, since it is two words, not one. I have also seen, "...Head Start I", but I know there was another Head Start, so I don't really know what was going on there. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:32, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * So no reliable sources actually support what the hook says? Well, that's problematic, to say the least. We can't really have a hook that's not supported by reliable sources. Manxruler (talk) 19:19, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * How aboutt this: "... that Operation Head Start, which helped to prove that a sustainable alert was possible for the United States Air Force, was based at Loring Air Force Base?" Kevin Rutherford (talk) 04:00, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Okay. I would still have liked to see page numbers for the US Air Force document, but I can verify the hook by looking at the George Washington University page. It's DYK ready. Manxruler (talk) 18:14, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
