South Jamaica Houses and South Jamaica, Queens

 * ... that the South Jamaica Houses in South Jamaica, New York City, was among the first housing developments built by the New York City Housing Authority?


 * ALT1:... that the South Jamaica Houses in South Jamaica, New York City, are nicknamed the "40s Projects," presumably after the date for which it was completed?
 * Note: Added South Jamaica, Queens at 22:42, 16 April 2016 (UTC).
 * QPQ 1/2: Did you know nominations/Haskelite Manufacturing Corporation
 * QPQ 2/2: Did you know nominations/Prussian scheme

Both articles 5x expanded by Tdorante10 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 21:21, 4 April 2016 (UTC) (edited 22:42, 16 April 2016 (UTC)).


 * I was going to review this one, seeing as it's sat here for so long, but instead I will just propose an even better (IMO) hook that I stumbled across during the review:
 * ALT2:... that the South Jamaica Houses in South Jamaica, New York City, was the first housing development built by the New York City Housing Authority intended to be racially integrated?
 * It will be necessary to put this in the text, though. The reason I didn't was that I am not sure how South Jamaica, Queens, qualifies for DYK. It does not appear to have been expanded sufficiently by the date stated., can you clarify? Daniel Case (talk) 19:03, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I like ALT2; it's more interesting than both the hooks I proposed.As for how the South Jamaica article qualifies (it doesn't matter if if doesn't; the South Jamaica Houses article qualifies regardless), then an expansion from 6,000 bytes to 54,000 bytes is an almost nine-times expansion over a seven-day period, which is less than the required ten days needed in order for the article to qualify. When I checked the article with DYK Checker, the tool guessed that based on the time frame of expansion, the article qualified as five-fold expansion. I hope this clear things up. epicgenius (talk) 19:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed of both articles. Note that South Jamaica, Queens was expanded starting on April 9 and nominated here April 16, within the required seven-day period (not ten days), so it's fine (DYKcheck itself says that the article's 5x expansion started April 9).

 * Symbol question.svg Both articles are long enough, new enough, and within policy. Earwig detects no copyvios.  Original and ALT2 both check out, though the part about racial integration would need to be added to the article (it is in the source).  ALT1 fails to mention that there are alternate explanations given by different sources.  Two QPQs remain to be done. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 02:14, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I will review two articles by tomorrow, as I don't have time today. Regards, epicgenius (talk) 15:30, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQs done, good to go. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 18:44, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
