5x expanded by Wikipedia Project:Today's Articles for Improvement Team (talk). Nominated by David Condrey (talk) at 07:16, 12 August 2014 (UTC).
The image is public domain. The article is long enough, meets policy requirements, and was expanded within 5 days of nomination. All hooks meet length requirements. The primary hook is defective as the article doesn't make out the Lincoln animatronic was a "major factor" in anything. ALT1 is problematic because "best reserved" is a questionable judgement. The article makes the point that the term "android" is more accurate but the cited source doesn't seem to say that. ALT2 and ALT3 are fine. I prefer ALT3. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:24, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review Chris. Regarding the primary hook, my line of thought is in reference to the Abraham Lincoln animatronics character which is noted 10 times throughout the course of the article being first mentioned as the first official animatronics character created by Disney which is later improved and to this day can be seen in real life. I wrote the hook purposefully remaining somewhat vague in hopes of catching people's attention.. like .."How could Abraham Lincoln be related to animatronics, I need to check this out..((click))". If you have any suggestions for adjusting it or replacing it I'd love to get your suggestion.
- ALT1 I've adjusted the wording per your suggestion. Seeing as how there were no problems with ALT2 or 3 perhaps we can use one of them to replace the primary hook if it's not suitable..? In my opinion the current primary hook is just more likely to draw people into the article, but I'm not attached to it.
- I have also edited the article this evening, adding numerous references related to the definitions and differences between robots, androids, and animatronics. Hopefully they are satisfactory.
- Thanks. David Condrey (talk) 03:10, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Request: Per Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 109#Request_involving_TAFI_articles and Template:Did you know nominations/Solar activity, can we get either (TAFI article) or (TAFI) appended to the end of the promoted hook? - Evad37 [talk] 2:51, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
