Snake Pass
[edit]
- ... that Snake Pass is named after the pub on the road (pictured) which in turn is named after the arms of William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire?

Improved to Good Article status by Ritchie333 (talk) and Eric Corbett (talk). Nominated by Ritchie333 (talk) at 13:59, 16 April 2015 (UTC).
The article was passed as GA on 9 April and nominated for DYK the same day. QPQ done. I am not sure whether Eric Corbett qualifies for DYK credit as he was the reviewer and not the improver. The article is incline sourced in every paragraph to a mix of online (some behing paywall) and offline reliable sources. I did not detect close paraphrasing issues in spot checks of online sources I could access. The hook is interesting and short enough. It is based on two sentences that follow each another in the article; the two refs follow the second sentence; I think per DYK hook rule interpreted strictly there should be an inline source directly after "Snake Inn" in the first sentence as well. The sources are offline, so AGF. (I would normally have moved the ref myself, but since there are two offline refs; I don't know which applies to the first sentence). (Pinging Ritchie333) Otherwise, GTG. Iselilja (talk) 07:06, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Iselilja: The ping didn't work, though I have the page watchlisted so I caught this. Anyway, a later source in the paragraph cites all of this, and has a Google Books preview here. I have changed the citations in the article to refer to this, so you can change the AGF tick into a full green one. I think Eric should get credit, as he did a substantial amount of copyediting (as he does for all GA reviews he takes on) so has made a significant direct contribution to the article.

Thank you. Article GTG. As for credit to Eric Corbett, I raised the potential issue since a reviewer per definition can not be a significant contributor to an article he reviews, but if practice is to also DYK credit reviewers (in some instances), that's OK. (I'll take note that the ping didn't work). Iselilja (talk) 18:57, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- I wouldn't normally credit a GA reviewer, but in this instance I felt Eric's mid-review copyediting was important to the article's overall quality, and he is now the second highest contributor to the article after me. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:02, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
