 * re issues:
 * I use DYKcheck, it reports 1,746 characters. Could you please double check?
 * The close-paraphrasing is actually credited use of a public domain USN document, Chapel renews weekly services, which is allowed per WP:PD. The newsletter you found includes a reprint of the same document.
 * Can these be resolved without alteration to the article? ☆ Bri (talk) 16:12, 24 February 2019 (UTC)


 * In response:
 * I use the Character Counter, which I find more accurate than DYKcheck and after removing all the headers, reference links, templates, captions etc - I still find that it falls short of the desired length.
 * In accordance with WP:CLOP editors should generally summarize source material in their own words or ensure the material is clearly attributed in the text.
 * Also almost all the material could be interpreted as being a primary source, which is why it would be preferable to have independent collaborating sources, particularly for the hook.
 * Let me know when you've addressed these. Dan arndt (talk) 03:28, 26 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Bri, while DYKcheck is typically the gold standard at DYK, there's something about the way the USNAVY template's Public Domain declarations are formatted at the bottom of the article that makes DYKcheck think that they're prose when they're not—they should be considered part of the bibliography or referencing, but in any event not prose. Since those two entries come to 417 characters including spacing, your prose count is actually 1329 characters rather than 1500 or more. Best of luck in expanding the article.

Article created and nominated on the same day. It is long enough with a word count at 1973. Sourcing is adequate, and article is neutral in tone. I found no paraphrasing issues, and the one quote used is properly cited. Hook ALT1 is properly cited, and similarly mentioned inline. Photo is properly licensed, clear at a low resolution, and used in the article. QPQ requirement is met. Nomination is good to move onto the next stage. Flibirigit (talk) 02:08, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
