Lady Hutton

[edit]

Created by BabbaQ (talk), Werldwayd (talk), Serten (talk), 7&6=thirteen (talk). Self nominated at 20:35, 18 October 2014 (UTC).

  • Not long enough (1348 characters when 1500 are required). It also needs copy-editing as there are incomprehensible parts and contradictions. Belle (talk) 10:05, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
  • The article does not include any information as to how the ship was used during World War II. Also, it sometimes uses the pronoun "it" to refer to the ship, and the rest of the time it uses the pronoun "she". Only one of those pronouns should be used, not both of them. Bahnfrend (talk) 14:01, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
  • While quite pleasing at full size, at 100px the image appears to show a large apartment building, a church, with a large mound of snow in the foreground. We really have to start paying attention to what first-slot images look like at this severely reduced size. EEng (talk) 20:56, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
  • The use of pronouns is OK with me and I dont care much about the use in WWII. I expanded the article, think its ok now, but I won't do the review then. Pic now with dog. Serten (talk) 06:01, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. The first 2 hooks are nice; hook refs verified and cited inline. QPQ done. The image supplied here does not appear in the article; it also needs to be cropped to show the yacht and not everything around it. If I may, I'd like to suggest a tweak of the first hook:
  • ALT2: ... that the hotel and restaurant ship Lady Hutton (pictured) was owned by American socialite Barbara Hutton, who received it as a present on her 18th birthday? Yoninah (talk) 23:58, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I think that ALT hook is ok as well :) The image if used could be changed to one appearing in the article by the closing user. If not then it is a non-issue. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:08, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Wow! Look at that snowbank!
  • See Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Re_img. The img in the article (here at right) is not appropriate for presentation at 100x100 -- as I said earlier in this thread it "appears to show a large apartment building and a church, with a large mound of snow in the foreground." It would need to be cropped. EEng (talk) 19:31, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Another reviewer needed to approve ALT2. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:57, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Reviewer still needed. I've pulled the image at the top of the nomination; it is ineligible, as it is not included in the article. The original image, if cropped, might be usable per EEng. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:57, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
  • for ALT2 (others struck), which is interesting and cited. Probably best to run without the picture. Rest of the review per Yoninah above. 97198 (talk) 02:53, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: It's been a week since the last issue was raised here but nothing has been done to correct it. Are you still working on this or should I tag this as stale? Fuebaey (talk) 18:41, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
User 7&6=thirteen has apparently done some works while I was away. If that is sufficient that is good, otherwise ping me.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:12, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
I've done a lot of copy editing, more citations and added text. Got rid of some close paraphrasing. You are certainly over the minimum number of characters. There is a better picture at Flickr. Hope that helps. 7&6=thirteen () 19:11, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
I think that somewhhere in all that new material you can come up with an ALT, or deem one of the prior nominees to be supported. I would like to be included as a co-creator. Please consdier this to be a formal request. Here's another QPQ. Please use it.

  • ALT 3: ... that a group of Swedish businessmen spent more than $2.5 million to renovate the yacht Lady Hutton?
  • ALT 4: ... that a group of Swedish businessmen spent more than $2.5 million to renovate the yacht Lady Hutton previously owned by American socialite Barbara Hutton (pictured)?
Earwig's Copy Violation Detector for Lady Hutton I can't review this, but I can help whomever comes along. Here is a start. 7&6=thirteen () 19:36, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Article has been updated. New review requested. Fuebaey (talk) 23:35, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Going for ALT 3, which is cited inline to a reliable source. All other DYK requirements are met. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:59, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
