Sri Lankan Christmas tree

 * ... that the Sri Lankan Christmas tree (pictured) is claimed to be the world’s tallest artificial Christmas tree?

This needs some minor work. Full review: A very nice job on the article, AntanO. DarjeelingTea (talk) 06:43, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hook – hook is interesting and short enough, however, please remove the ellipses (...) after "tree" (see issue in citation, also)
 * NPOV – article is NPOV
 * Length – I get a character count of 1775, including spaces but excluding infobox and references, so that seems okay.
 * Copyvio – Earwig returns "very unlikely"
 * Citation – The source is immediately cited, however, Yahoo and Washington Post both say "claimed" and I'm not 100% sure ColomboPage is RS. Can the hook be changed so that it says "is claimed to be" instead of "is considered to be"?
 * Image – none
 * QPQ – done here: Template:Did you know nominations/Myth & Roid
 * Newness – created December 26 so new enough
 * Thank you, DarjeelingTea for good review. I removed ellipses at the end of line. I will suggest/change hook, and consider to adding free image by tomorrow. --Ant a n O 06:55, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * , I made change as you suggested and did some edits, and also added an image too. Unfortunately, I had bad climate during capture the image. If it not suite, we can ignore the image. ColomboPage is RS and we could see many articles that use it as reference. --Ant a n O 02:09, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Wow that's a really wonderful image. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to suggest you needed to go take one, only that I wasn't reviewing for an image since there wasn't one here. Anyway, everything looks good. Great job, again, AntanO. DarjeelingTea (talk) 04:50, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you DarjeelingTea. Yes, you didn't mean to suggest for an image. I thought to have one :). --Ant a n O 05:00, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg I was going to promote this, but I see there are no references in the second paragraph, the important one with all the facts and figures. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:38, 16 January 2017 (UTC)


 * ✅ Updated. --Ant a n O 10:02, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Sorry to be a nuisance, but why are the bars in the comparison graph all blue while the legend is multi-coloured - it looks odd. I also think you should supply a citation for the height of the last three structures mentioned. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:24, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The bars are muted for now as I am planning major expansion. --Ant a n O  08:44, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Replacing the tick. This is ready to be promoted now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:14, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
