 * Comment: This article was originally titled Seattle Totem Pole but was moved to Pioneer Square Totem Pole after this DYK nom was created. I updated the hooks but left the title of the nomination Seattle Totem Pole


 * Review: Article's length and age are OK; citations are inline and the references are OK; no copyvio or policy issues; interesting hook fact; hook length and formatting OK; image is OK. --Z 15:34, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Length and age are good, references look good, and the hook fact is good, but there are a few issues to take care of: Once these are taken care of, we should be ready to go.--Cúchullain t/ c 15:53, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * In the lead, the phrase "the replica is now designated a National Historic Landmark" does not appear to be verified by the cited source (source 6).
 * In the section "Seattle Post-Intelligencer expedition", the list of stops is uncited.
 * In the "Appearance" section, the phrase "The original Chief-of-All-Women pole was originally reported to be 49 feet 8 inches (15.14 m) tall" does not appear to be in the source cited (source 1)
 * It would be helpful if you could give specific page numbers for the Garfield cites, rather than a broad range.
 * Thank you for the review, I have addressed all the above concerns and updated the citation style to WP:SRF. Thanks! SamCordes (talk) 20:34, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
