Miss Wool of America Pageant

  • Hi RAJIVVASUDEV. This article is currently too short for DYK, I count 1245 characters outside of the bullet point list. The grammar and wording need tightening up too. For example it is superfluous to say "The 1968 Pageant was a live telecast on Television" or "Kathryn Gromatski was the first Miss Wool in year 1952. In subsequent years, the title was won by different contestants" - Dumelow (talk) 09:40, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
@Dumelow: Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. Allow me to revise. Best regards. RV (talk) 10:39, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
@Dumelow: The grammar is fixed and [the word count is increased to 1600]. Kindly have a look. Regards RV (talk) 15:06, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks RV, looking better now. I note that the following statement in the lead is not mentioned in the main body or cited: "The purpose of the event was primarily to celebrate the city's thriving sheep and wool industry" - Dumelow (talk) 15:21, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
@Dumelow: Thanks for your immediate response. [Source 2] The Miss Wool of America Pageant took place annually from 1952-1972 in San Angelo to celebrate its strong sheep and wool industry Warm regards RV (talk) 16:03, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi RV, I've added the missing cite and reorganised the article a bit. Hopefully you don't mind? By doing so I've probably become too involved in the article so I'll request a new reviewer - Dumelow (talk) 18:19, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
  • On hold: Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, well-cited, and with no copyvio detected. Hooks are formatted, of good length and cited in article. They're not the most interesting hooks I've seen, but it's a short article and I'm going to pass them. A possible (but not definite) problem is QPQ. From the nominator's talk page they appear to have at least five nominations older than this one, though only one nomination made it to the Main Page so far (thus only one shows from QPQ check). From the sixth nomination onwards, you are required to complete a DYK review for QPQ. Unless you are going to withdraw one of those earlier nominations, I feel that you should submit a QPQ for this one. – Reidgreg (talk) 00:56, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Reidgreg Hi! I have tried to review the Template:Did you know nominations/People in Space. Will it work for the cause. Regards RV (talk) 04:13, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
    • @RAJIVVASUDEV: Thanks for providing the QPQ! Hoo boy, that one you reviewed is not at all ready at this time. It's only one-third of the minimum prose size, there are serious tone issues and only two sources. I feel that there's potential in the subject material, and I hope you will keep an eye on it for the next few days in case the nominator gets it up to scratch (they've got until 22 Sep before "new enough" time runs out), but yeah, as it stands it's nowhere near a pass. – Reidgreg (talk) 04:45, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Approving: ALT0, ALT1, ALT2. As reviewer, I prefer ALT1 which gives a bit more context for interest. – Reidgreg (talk) 04:45, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Well noted all. Thanks and regards RV (talk) 06:19, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
