Will Rogers Museum

 * ... that the Will Rogers Memorial Museum became part of the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS) in March 2016?


 * ALT1: ... that a 2016 Oklahoma  law requires the Governor appoint a lineal descendent of Will Rogers to the board of the Oklahoma Historical Society?

 * Passes 5x expansion, meets policy. I think that ALT1 has the most interesting nugget but it doesn't actually link the article! Can you rephrase that hook? Also, we're still missing your review here. SFB 00:25, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi SFB. I have rephrased ALT1 below as ALT2 to address your comment. One problem, by my count ALT2 contains 203 characters, including spaces. If this is objectionable, then we can replace the first use of Oklahoma with state to get below the limit of 200.


 * ALT2 ... that a 2016 Oklahoma law making the Will Rogers Memorial Museum a part of the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS) also requires the Governor to appoint a lineal descendent of Will Rogers to the OHS board?

I propose to use my review of the Royal Stag article as the QPQ.

Thanks for your helpful comments. Bruin2 (talk) 05:03, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Since the hook is too long, I'd like to suggest dropping the first "Oklahoma" entirely, and also shortening the second "Will Rogers" to "Rogers":
 * ALT2a ... that a 2016 law making the Will Rogers Memorial Museum a part of the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS) also requires the Governor to appoint a direct descendant of Rogers to the OHS board?
 * I have also properly bolded the article link in the ALT2a hook, which is 188 characters. (Shorter is better.) I struck ALT2 as it was over the maximum. I've also corrected the actual name of the article in the hook, DYK nom page and DYKmake templates, and properly added the image. Note that the review needs expansion so it mentions what exactly was checked (age, close paraphrasing, neutrality, free image, and so on). BlueMoonset (talk) 07:52, 8 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi BlueMoonset and SFB. I think ALT2a is quite acceptable as the hook. Let's run with it. Thanks, too, for correctly linking the image. SFB, please respond to BlueMoonset's request to expand the review. Thanks, again. Bruin2 (talk) 23:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:03, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT2a hook ref verified and cited inline. I tweaked the language in the hook. Image is freely licensed and appears in article. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:16, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
